Social interactions, predation behaviour and fast start performance are affected by ammonia exposure in brown trout (Salmo trutta L.)

C Tudorache, R Blust, G De Boeck - Aquatic Toxicology, 2008 - Elsevier
In fish, fast starts are brief, sudden accelerations during predator–prey encounters. They
serve for escape and predation and are therefore ecologically important movements. Fast
starts are generated by glycolytic muscle performance and are influenced by many internal
and external factors. It is known that ammonia pollution has a major effect on the glycolytic
muscle action, thus creating conditions in which fast start performance might be reduced and
predation rates altered. Therefore, escape response and predation strikes were investigated …
