The movements of salmon in relation to variations in air and water temperatures
The temperature of water in a river system affects fish in various ways; it has an influence on feeding habits, movement and metabolism. All fish vary in their ability to tolerate fluctuations in temperature, but those that live in a reasonably stable environment are more sensitive to major changes...

The temperature of water in a river system affects fish in various ways; it has an influence on feeding habits, movement and metabolism.
