  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Removal of slime from 25% of the body caused no deaths among smolts of coho salmon in fresh water or in seawater (28&amp;permil;). Removal of slime and scales from the same percentage of body area caused no deaths in fresh water, but 75% mortality within 10 days in seawater. The 10-day median tolerance limit was 10% scale removal immediately before the smolts entered seawater. Mortality was highest when the scales were removed from the area of the rib cage. Recovery of smolts in fresh water from a loss of scales that would be lethal in seawater occurred rapidly; 90% of the fish regained tolerance to seawater within 1 day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
