Leaping Behavior In Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys Molitrix): Analysis Of Burst Swimming Speeds, Angle Of Escape, Height, And Distance Of Leaps
… height, and angle of escape as well as their burst speed. Video tapes of fish leaps were obtained from populations of carp in Mississippi, Missouri, and Illinois. Additionally, morphometric and environmental data were measured at each site. Carp reached mean leap heights of 124 cm with a …

Influence of CO2 on fishes in flowing water environments: implications for a non-physical barrier to movement
… is known about how elevated CO2 may affect swimming performance. Here, we investigate the effects that varying levels of dissolved CO2 will have on fish behavior and swimming performance in flowing water. Chapter 1 aims to identify threshold levels of CO2 required to elicit significant …

The effects of dietary selenomethionine on the escape behaviours of Fathead Minnows
… measurable impacts, such as negatively affecting swimming behaviours, in real-world ecosystems. In this thesis, I assessed the impacts of a selenomethionine-laden diet on the escape behaviours of the Fathead Minnow. Using kinematic analysis, I observed how fish responded to various looming …

The role of fish physiology, behaviour, and water discharge on the attraction and passage of adult sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) at the Seton River dam fishway, British Columbia
… how prior physiological condition and subsequent swimming energetics and behaviours effected fishway passage success. Fish were captured and biopsied, before being implanted with electromyogram (EMG) transmitters and released near the downstream entrance of the fishway. Very few differences …

The effect of turbulence on survival, dispersal, and swimming behavior of grass carp eggs and larvae
… low-turbulence, low-vorticity regions. These swimming capabilities were quantified by estimating burst swimming speeds and were correlated with the spatial distributions of turbulent kinetic energy, vorticity, and Reynolds stresses for future predictions of larvae dispersion on natural …

Individual variability in the behaviour and morphology of larval Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua, L.)
… Fish also commonly exhibited a pattern of burst swimming (darts) that appeared to reflect a generalised escape response. This darting behaviour was not affected by the presence of food, but was more common in fish fed the higher prey densities. Conversely, overall levels of prey did not …
