Many Australian fish species are subject to thermal pollution from unseasonably cold water released from large storage dams. This study assessed the impacts and rate of physiological compensation to low temperatures following a simulated cold-water pollution event on juveniles of critically endangered silver perch ( Bidyanus bidyanus ).
