Critical swimming speeds of late-stage coral reef fish larvae: variation within species, among species and between locations (2005, methodology): “Swimming performance is important to the survival of fishes, affecting their ability to avoid predators and find food ( Plaut 2001 ).”
Temperature‐related physiological adaptations promote ecological divergence in a sympatric species pair of temperate freshwater fish, Coregonus spp. (2008, background): “Furthermore, temperature-related swimming capacity is considered as a main characteristic determining survival in many species due to its impact on food capture, reproduction, predator avoidance and habitat shifts (Videler 1993; Plaut 2001).”
Manual of recommended practices for modelling physical – biological interactions during fish early life (2009, methodology): “The least appropriate measure is burst speed (the highest speed of which a fish is capable), as this is measured and can be maintained only for very short periods and is considered to be fuelled anaerobi‐ cally (Plaut, 2001).”
Advancing the surgical implantation of electronic tags in fish: a gap analysis and research agenda based on a review of trends in intracoelomic tagging effects studies (2011, background): “In general, swimming performance studies have been subject to significant criticism in recent years, particularly for generating absolute swimming speeds (Plaut 2001).”
Stress Indicators in Fish (2016, background): “Critical swimming speed is an example of a metric that has been measured for decades (Beamish, 1978), and although it is now regarded as somewhat limited in value (Plaut, 2001), it does have usewhenmaking relative comparisons of fish swimming ability among stressor treatments.”
Does pregnancy affect swimming performance of female Mosquitofish, Gambusia affinis? (2002, methodology): “Fish rarely, if ever, experience fatigue in their natural habitat (Beamish 1978; Plaut 2001 ).”
Evaluating performance costs of sexually selected traits (2007, background): “A third type of performance, often measured as an indicator of a fish’s health and aerobic capacity, is critical swimming speed ( U crit ) (Kolok 1999; Reidy et al . 2000; Plaut 2001).”
Swimming speed performance in coral reef fishes: field validations reveal distinct functional groups (2007, methodology): “Ucrit metric for speeds displayed by fishes in the field (Hammer 1995; Plaut 2001).”
Alternative foraging tactics and risk taking in brook charr (Salvelinus fontinalis) (2009, background): “A sixth caveat is that we did not measure aerobic swimming performance, which may be a better predictor of foraging behavior (Plaut 2001).”
Non-physical barriers to deter fish movements (2012, background): “Fortunately, a large number of publications detailing the results of swim performance quantification have been published since the 1960s (for a review, see Plaut 2001).”
Navigation impacts on freshwater fish assemblages: the ecological relevance of swimming performance (2003, background): “…three topics: the above mentioned environmental influences on exercise performance (e.g. Beamish, 1978; Videler, 1993; Hammer, 1995; Kieffer, 2000; Plaut, 2001), migration abilities (Pavlov, 1989; Taylor and Foote, 1991; Barbin and Krueger, 1994; Zerrath, 1996; Toepfer et al., 1999; Ellerby et…”
