- Mean individual filtration rate (F), shell length (L), dry weight of soft parts (W), condition index (CI), temperature (T), salinity (S), number of mussels (n) in series (#). Size classes #7 and #8 were acclimated to 20 psu (before they were transferred back to 6.5 psu for 5 days and then returned to 20 psu, see Figs. 3 and 4). Size class #9 shows the mean filtration rate of mussels acclimated to 3.7 psu for 6 days. ±SD indicated
