Stevens, D., A. Nebeker, AND R. Baker. AVOIDANCE RESPONSES OF SALMON AND TROUT TO AIR-SUPERSATURATED WATER. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/J-80/353 (NTIS PB82127606).
Description:
Coho (Oncorhynchus kisutch), sockeye (O. nerka), and chinook (O. tschawytscha) salmon smolts, and rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) avoided air-supersaturated water when tested in a shallow round tank. Steelheads (S. gairdneri) did not consistently avoid the supersaturated water and died from gas bubble disease. The salmon and rainbow trout generally avoided 145 and 125% saturation but did not always avoid 115%. Territorial activity reduced avoidance by steelheads and rainbow trout.
