This study revealed that Atlantic salmon smolts respond to short-term water temperature drops, like changes occurring in rivers regulated for hydropower production, by significantly reducing their rate of oxygen consumption during swimming activity. Fish show resilience by quickly returning to initial swimming costs after reestablishment of the original temperature values.
