Salinity levels in freshwater areas can harm fish like pabda. A study tested how different salinity levels affect pabda embryos and fry. Results showed that higher salinity led to lower hatching success and slower larval growth. Deformities were also more common at higher salinities. Fry had higher mortality rates with increased salinity and exposure time. The study found that pabda are sensitive to salinity changes, with embryos being most affected. These findings can help us understand the impact of salinity on freshwater fish like pabda.
