Optimal swim speeds by respirometer: an analysis of three neotropical species

Abstract: The swimming ability of neotropical fish species is an important aspect for fish ladder designs. Especially in Latin America, where fish ladders are highly selective, fish strategies to negotiate the passage should be studied focusing on target species. This paper shows the swimming ability of three neotropical species (Leporinus reinhardti, Pimelodus maculatus and Prochilodus costatus), from São Francisco river basin. Respirometer was employed for data collection. Regarding the critical and prolonged speeds, … Show more

“…Improvements in planning, engineering and hydraulics are possible, and much progress has been achieved since the installation of the first ladders in Brazil. More effective fish passes have been developed (Agostinho et al 2007a), and knowledge about the swimming capabilities of native species has advanced (Santos et al 2007(Santos et al , 2008(Santos et al , 2012. Nevertheless, all facilities evaluated so far have shown problems and limitations, perhaps due to the high behavioural and ecological diversity of the Neotropical fish fauna.…”

“…Em estudos com peixes neotropicais, Santos et al (2008) apresentaram a capacidade natatória do Pimelodus maculatus (mandi amarelo). Em 2012, Santos et al (2012) publicaram um trabalho de levantamento de velocidade natatória de três espécies neotropicais. Nesse trabalho observou-se que as espécies testadas conseguiram imprimir velocidade superior às de clima temperado apresentadas por outros pesquisadores, para um mesmo comprimento do peixe.…”

“…The previously presented results can be useful for comparison of the flow characteristics with the swimming capacity of fish present in Brazilian rivers. Prior studies have evaluated the swimming capacity of some species present in Brazilian rivers (SANTOS et al, 2012(SANTOS et al, , 2008. However, such data are limited, and information on preferred values for fish in Brazil related to flow turbulence is not yet known.…”
