Habitat-specific locomotor variation among Chinese hook snout carp (Opsariichthys bidens) along a river. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The Wujiang River is a tributary of the upper Yangtze River that shows great variations in its flow regime and habitat condition. Dams have been built along the Wujiang River and have altered the habitats profoundly enough that they may give rise to ...

Swimming Performance Assessment in Fishes [PDF]
Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2011 Swimming performance tests of fish have been integral to studies of muscle energetics, swimming mechanics, gas exchange, cardiac physiology, disease, pollution, hypoxia and temperature. This paper describes a flexible protocol to assess fish swimming performance using equipment in which water velocity can be controlled.

3D upstream passability of novel river training structures by migratory fish in the river Waal
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2022 Longitudinal training dams (LTDs) are novel river training structures that divide a river into a main navigation channel and protected shore channels. High velocities at the inflows of shore channels constructed in the river Waal (The Netherlands) pose a

Warm-Up and Performance in Competitive Swimming [PDF]
Sports Medicine, 2013 Warm-up before physical activity is commonly accepted to be fundamental, and any priming practices are usually thought to optimize performance. However, specifically in swimming, studies on the effects of warm-up are scarce, which may be due to the swimming pool environment, which has a high temperature and humidity, and to the complexity of warm-up ...
