Population regulation in Gyrodactylus salaris - Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) interactions: testing the paradigm.

When the mean decrease in growth rate due to parasite inoculum size for each dataset was plotted against mean initial growth rate, a highly significant relationship (r 2 = 0.7546, P < 0.005) was noted, even when the relationship between parasite population growth rate and inoculum size within individual datasets was non-significant (Fig. 3b ).
