Use the following information to answer the next 6 questions: Woytanowski & Coughlin (2013) conducted a study to test if the fish Osmerus mordax (rainbow smelt), acclimated to different temperature regimes. One group of fish was kept in aquaria at 5°C for 6 weeks and another group was kept in aquaria at 20°C for 6 weeks. After six weeks of acclimation, the fish were moved to a tank at 10°C and maximum steady swimming speed and maximum tailbeat frequency were determined for each group. The data is shown to the right:
