Abstract
Water flow is a typical hydrodynamic variable of natural occurrence in fish's lifetime and understanding its impact on biological processes (e.g. stress) can contribute to improve welfare in captive/farmed fish. For that, we tested whether water flow is a stressor by itself in a non-rheophilic (i.e. theoretically sensitive to water flow) fish species: Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus).…
