In both species independent of sex and gonadal maturity, each freshwater caused a different olfactory response. Source and effluent waters of the culture pond at Toya Lake Station (the source and culture pond waters) evoked the minimum and maximum response magnitude, respectively. In cross-adaptation experiments, the culture pond water abolished all secondary responses to other freshwaters, and no freshwater abolished the secondary response to the culture pond water. The concentration response study revealed that the minimum concentration (threshold) to induce response to the culture pond water after adaptation to Lake Toya water was between 0.1 and 1.0%. The present study indicates that the olfactory organ of lacustrine salmonids may discriminate different intensities of various freshwater odors.日本動物学会Journal Articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/2115/32926https://eprints.lib.hokudai.ac.jp/dspace/bitstream/2115/32926/1/http___www.jstage.jst.go.pdf7%283%29313.pdf0289-0003Zoological Science1733133172000-04eng(c) 日本動物学会 / 本文献の公開は著者の意思に基づくものであるpublisher
