“…For many lake telemetry studies, the distance between subsequent points and the time interval between the points are used to assess activity (e.g., Cooke et al 2001;Hanson et al 2007). Often, the time intervals can be multiple days and the points can be hundreds of metres apart, meaning that only coarse assessments of activity can be made (e.g., Bauer and Schlott 2004). However, new innovations in telemetry, which include near real time positioning of multiple individual fish using submerged fixed acoustic hydrophone systems and code division multiple access (CDMA) enabled transmitters, have provided the ability to assess fine-scale swimming ability (Niezgoda et al 2002;Cooke et al 2005;Hanson et al 2007).…”

Although locomotory performance in vertebrates is related to fitness, most performance tests are conducted in a laboratory setting, or in a manner that forces the organism to move not of their own volition. Biotelemetry offers the possibility to measure voluntary activity in a natural setting and provides the opportunity to combine laboratory-derived data with field studies on wild fish. In this study, it was found that laboratory-and field-based measurements of swimming performance and voluntary activity resulted in similar general seasonal trends, though each measurement assessed a different swimming type. In the field, all swimming metrics were lower at cooler water temperatures and were lowest during early winter (mean daily activity = 0.016 BL/s; mean voluntary swimming activity = 0.04319 BL/s; maximum swimming speed = 0.17 BL/s). In the laboratory, fish acclimatized to 25.0, 14.0, and 7.5 8C decreased swimming performance (Ucrit) with water temperature (25.0 8C (2.17 BL/s); 14.0 8C (1.69 BL/s); 7.5 8C (1.17 BL/s). Although some species and tissues have been shown to exhibit different degrees of thermal adaptation, these results show that swimming, one of the most important functions in fish, is largely dependent on environmental temperature, at least in largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides (Lacepède, 1802)).Résumé : Bien que la performance de locomotion chez les vertébrés soit reliée à la fitness, la plupart des tests de performance sont faits dans un milieu de laboratoire ou dans une situation qui force les animaux à se déplacer, donc pas de leur propre volonté. La biotélémétrie permet de mesurer l'activité volontaire dans un milieu naturel et fournit l'occasion de combiner les données obtenues en laboratoire et les études sur le terrain de poissons sauvages. Dans notre travail, les mesures en laboratoire et sur le terrain de performance de nage et d'activité volontaire montrent les mêmes tendances saisonnières générales, bien que chaque mesure évalue un type de nage différent. En nature, toutes les métriques de nage sont plus basses aux températures d'eau plus fraîches et sont minimales au début de l'hiver (activité journalière moyenne = 0,016 BL/s; activité volontaire moyenne de nage = 0,04319 BL/s; vitesse de nage maximale = 0,17 BL/s, où BL est la longueur du corps). En laboratoire, les poissons acclimatés à 25,0, 14,0 et 7,5 8C diminuent leur performance de nage (U crit ) en fonction de la température de l'eau (25,0 8C (2,17 BL/s); 14,0 8C (1,69 BL/s); 7,5 8C (1,17 BL/s)). Bien qu'on ait dé-montré que certaines espèces et certains tissus présentent des degrés divers d'adaptation thermique, nos résultats établissent que la nage, une des fonctions les plus importantes chez les poissons, est en grande partie dépendante de la température du milieu, au moins chez les achigans à grande bouche (Micropterus salmoides (Lacepède, 1802)).[Traduit par la Rédaction]

“…Physiological and biochemical indices regarding fish stress response upon some technological operations in carp pond farming have been recently described (Svobodová et al 1999Dobšíková et al 2006), but there is a significant lack of any conclusive data with respect to fish behavioural physiology and movements (displacements) in pond during their culture. Bauer and Schlott (2004) studied fish stock behaviour during overwintering and fish reaction to the oxygen deficiency using radio telemetry, which provides accurate data on fish location. However, this approach is feasible only on small (B2 ha) pond areas.…”

Besides various physiological and biological indices, stress in fish can be expressed directly by changes in their behaviour. Electrofishing point sampling approach based on CPUE (catch per unit effort) was used to evaluate fish density (escapement) into the littoral zones of four Czech ponds as a reaction to the occurrence and hunting activities of great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) flocks. The behaviour of two-year-old common carp (Cyprinus carpio) before and after cormorant arrival was compared. Significant differences (P \ 0.001) in CPUE were recorded in fish density before and after cormorant arrival on all of four ponds under study-Ž ofinský: 0.04 ± 0.18 and 22.38 ± 26.87 (mean ± SD), Starý Hospodář: 0.05 ± 0.29 and 25.49 ± 25.45, Ž ebrákov: 0.16 ± 0.57 and 28.58 ± 24.75 and Travičný: 0.03 ± 0.19 and 17.18 ± 18.20, respectively. The evaluation of fish wounding in the CPUE fish samples proved the proportion of fish injured by cormorant attacks ranging from 3.33 to 18.19% in the ponds under study.

The intracoelomic surgical implantation of telemetry transmitters in fish is becoming the ''standard'' tagging approach for most field telemetry studies. Subsequently, efforts must be made to ensure the welfare of the fish are maintained and that fish do not experience significant mortality or sublethal impairments in health, behavior or physiology as a result of surgical procedures. Therefore, it is essential to adequately report information relating to all aspects of the surgical procedure to enable the reader to make an accurate interpretation of study results. We conducted a quantitative literature review aimed at characterizing trends in data reporting by examining a sample of fish telemetry studies published in peerreviewed outlets during the last 20 years. We used a repeatability score, based on 16 predetermined criteria, to evaluate the reporting of surgical procedures in telemetry studies. The majority of studies failed to report basic information relating to the surgical procedures used. Repeatability scores were highly variable between studies and ranged from 0-93.8%.No single study provided complete information (mean repeatability score = 50.7%) and repeatability showed no trend over time. Some study information was consistently well reported (e.g. tag size and dimensions, the type of anaesthetic used and the location of incision). In contrast, the type of suture knots, duration or level of anaesthesia and precautions taken to minimize infection were consistently left out of the methods section of most telemetry studies. Our review was confounded by the large proportion of studies that cited other sources for their surgical methods, many of which themselves lacked complete information. We recommend that future electronic tagging studies that involve intracoelomic implantation include the minimum reporting standards presented in this paper. Increasing the detail of reporting will improve the quality of data presented, minimize welfare and ethical concerns and allow transparency for study repeatability.
