Pavlov, D. S., M. A. Skorobogatov and L. G. Shtaf (1982). Effect of turbulence on current velocity critical for fish. Doklady Biological Sciences. 267:1019- 1021.
Results of experiments with 21-29 mm long roach Rutilus rutilus demonstrated that the rate of turbulence had a pronounced effect on current velocity critical for single fish as well as for groups of 5 fish. Increasing the turbulence by 40% decreased the critical velocity by 40-50%. Experiments with longer (31-39 mm) fish showed that the critical current velocity was higher for groups of fish than for single individuals.
