Improved knowledge on the swimming physiology of fish and its application to fisheries
science and aquaculture (ie, farming a fitter fish) is currently needed in the face of global …

Metabolic rate is a critical factor in animal biology and ecology, providing an objective
measure that can be used in attributing a cost to different activities and to assessing what …

Protecting freshwater biodiversity is considered an ultimate challenge but depends on
reliable surveys of species distribution and abundance which eDNA metabarcoding …

Swimming performance is important for fish migration, habitat selection, and predator-prey
interaction, as well as for fish passage design. Procedural choices made when …

The temperature dependence of predation rates is a key issue for understanding and
predicting the responses of ecosystems to climate change. Using a simple mechanistic …

Culverts can restrict access to habitat for stream-dwelling fishes. We used passive integrated
transponder telemetry to quantify passage performance of> 1000 wild brook trout …

Several measures have been developed to quantify swimming performance to understand
various aspects of ecology and behaviour, as well as to help design functional applications …

Swimming exercise is believed to have a range of positive effects on fish, including the
enhancement of muscle growth and flesh quality, the reduction in aggressive interactions …

Culverts may restrict fish movements under some hydraulic conditions such as shallow flow
depths or high velocities. Although swimming capacity imposes limits to passage …

Ongoing climate change is predicted to affect the distribution and abundance of aquatic
ectotherms owing to increasing constraints on organismal physiology, in particular involving …
