The effect of temperature and acute hypoxia/hyperoxia exposure on swimming performance and kinematics of Freshwater Drum
Abstract
Altered temperature and dissolved oxygen (DO) regimes in the tailwaters below dams can cause stress to fish. Despite their widespread distribution in rivers across North America, Freshwater Drum Aplodinotus grunniens have received little attention relative to the effects of these potential stressors. Quantifying fish swimming performance and kinematics in simulated tailwater conditions can help to determine how riverine species are affected by dam water releases, with the ultimate goal of identifying improved management strategies for these systems.
