  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Four salmonid and four cool-water fish species were tested to determine their ability to moisturize their digesta.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. After the fish were fed, they were sacrificed, the gut contents were removed and water content was determined.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. The digesta of the salmonids contained the least water (63–72%) and those of largemouth bass the most (78%).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. We conclude that there are distinct and significant differences between species and genera in the ability of fish to moisturize their digesta. The potential significance of this finding is discussed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
