Total dissolved gas supersaturation (TDGS) downstream of power plants may cause harmful effects on the fauna in many rivers. The harmful effects of TDGS are known as gas bubble disease (GBD). TDGS has been proposed as one possible cause of mortality of migrating Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) smol...
