DOI: 10.1016/j.cbpa.2020.110745
Abstract: Atlantic salmon is an anadromous species migrating from upper-reach nursery areas in rivers to the oceanic feeding areas at smolt stage and inversely at adult stage requiring unimpeded migration routes. However, dams associated with hydroelectric… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/conphys/cox025
Abstract: This study revealed that Atlantic salmon smolts respond to short-term water temperature drops, like changes occurring in rivers regulated for hydropower production, by significantly reducing their rate of oxygen consumption during swimming activity. Fish show… read more here.
