• Cold shock and fish (2008, background): “…of cold comas is highly variable and may last between 5 and 90 min after an acute temperature decrease of 10° C. Generally, a reduction of 10° C results in higher cold coma and direct mortality of larval and juvenile fish than less extreme reductions of 6° C (Berry, 1988; Clarkson & Childs, 2000).”
• Meta-analysis of the impacts of water management on aquatic communities (2008, background): “This effect can extend some distance (+70 km) downstream before recovery occurs (Edwards 1978; Lessard and Hayes 2003). In contrast, Lessard and Hayes (2003) showed that fish species diversity increased in streams below dams with an epilimnetic release, although cold-water species declined.”
• Trout Piscivory in the Colorado River, Grand Canyon: Effects of Turbidity, Temperature, and Fish Prey Availability (2011, background): “Seasonal floods prompt the dispersal of young fish from the LCR into the main-stem Colorado River ( Clarkson and Childs 2000 ).”
• Potential impacts of global climate change on freshwater fisheries (2007, background): “Worldwide, streams and lake chains have been fragmented by man-made barriers, such as dams, water diversions, and flood control structures (Porto et al. 1999; Clarkson and Childs 2000; Bednarek 2001; Lodge 2001; Winter and Van Densen 2001; Gehrke et al. 2002; Morita and Yamamoto 2002).”
• Restoring Environmental Flows by Modifying Dam Operations (2007, background): “Daminduced changes affect water temperature (Clarkson and Childs 2000, Todd et al. 2005) and chemistry (Ahearn et al. 2005), sediment transport (Williams and Wolman 1984, Vorosmarty et al. 2003), floodplain vegetation communities (Magilligan et al. 2003, Shafroth et al. 2001, Tockner and Stanford…”
• River regulation and fish larvae: variation through space and time (2002, background): “…Biology, 47, 1307–1331 rivers throughout the world (Petts, 1984; Berry, 1988; Finlayson, Gippel & Brizga, 1994; Lusk, 1995; Robinson et al., 1998; Clarkson & Childs, 2000), temperature in the upper section of the Campaspe River immediately downstream of the dam is affected by hypolimnetic…”
• The impact of cold water releases on the critical period of post‐spawning survival and its implications for Murray cod (Maccullochella peelii peelii): a case study of the Mitta Mitta River, southeastern Australia (2005, background): “…extend to all developmental stages and potentially result in reduced growth as demonstrated in previous studies on warmwater fish species (Buentello et al., 2000; Clarkson and Childs, 2000; Astles et al., 2003, Ryan et al., 2003) and possibly impact the age at which sexual maturity is reached.”
