Whole-body cortisol measurements (ng g−1) in juvenile longfin smelt held at two temperatures (11 or 14°C) and three turbidities (low (1), med (4) or high (11) NTU) for two and four weeks. Cortisol levels were significantly greater in fish exposed to lower turbidity conditions (1 NTU) compared to high turbidity (11 NTU) and decreased significantly over time. No significant effect of temperature was observed. Data (n = 13–20) are presented as mean ± SEM.
