The ability of fish to migrate past velocity barriers results from both attempt rate and
swimming capacity. Here, I formalize this relationship, providing equations for estimating the …

Locomotor performance of animals is of considerable interest from management,
physiological, ecological and evolutionary perspectives. Yet, despite the extensive …

Freshwater ecosystems have been severely fragmented by artificial in-stream structures
designed to manage water for human use. Significant efforts have been made to reconnect …

A lack of information on the swimming abilities of sauger (Sander canadensis), a highly
migratory species particularly sensitive to habitat fragmentation, may inhibit the design of …

Fish passage through road culverts is poorly understood, particularly for small-bodied fishes,
despite this information being integral to the restoration of waterway connectivity. We …

Swim tunnel respirometry was utilized to study metabolic rate and swimming efficiency in
white crappie, Pomoxis annularis. We examined oxygen consumption (V̇O2) at various …

Critical swimming speed was determined for the Atlantic silverside (Menidia menidia) at
several time and velocity increments. Fish were tested at time increments (Δt) of 2, 5, 10, 15 …

The swimming ability of neotropical fish species is an important aspect for fish ladder
designs. Especially in Latin America, where fish ladders are highly selective, fish strategies …

The critical swimming speed (Ucrit, aerobic swimming performance) and endurance
(anaerobic swimming performance) of juvenile southern catfish Silurus meridionalis Chen …

At four temperatures (T= 15, 20, 25 and 28° C) swimming performance of Dicentrarchus
labrax was significantly correlated with total length (23–43 mm LT); r2= 0.623–0.829). The …
