Farlinger, S. and F. W. H. Beamish (1977). Effects of time and velocity increments on the critical swimming speed of largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides. Transactions of the American Fisheries Society. 106:436-439.

Critical swimming speed was measured for largemouth bass and found to be related to the increments of both time and water velocity. Critical speed decreased with increase in time interval, and reached a peak and declined thereafter with increasing velocity increment.
