Effects of Rapid Thermal Cycling (Cold Shock) on Fish Health: Evidence from Controlled Laboratory Experiments, Behavior, and Telemetry

Powerplants frequently use river water for cooling, subsequently discharging warm effluent. Some of these plants can cycle on and off rapidly based on electricity demand, resulting in dramatic temperature fluctuations in the receiving waters. To understand the impacts on resident fish populations in...
