Empirical investigation into the applicability of surrogacy for juvenile salmonids (Oncorrhynchus spp.) exposed to hydropower induced rapid decompression

Surrogacy, whereby the response of a representative species subjected to a stressor is applied to one or more species, is commonly used without validation in conservation research and applications. The objective of this study was to empirically evaluate the appropriateness of using morphologically a...

description Surrogacy, whereby the response of a representative species subjected to a stressor is applied to one or more species, is commonly used without validation in conservation research and applications. The objective of this study was to empirically evaluate the appropriateness of using morphologically and phylogenetically similar species as surrogates for laboratory experiments that develop dose–response relationships for rapid decompression. In this study, juvenile kokanee, rainbow trout, and Chinook salmon were evaluated for injuries after exposure to rapid decompression that simulated pressure time-histories that are representative of hydropower turbine passage. Dose-response relationships, which modeled probability of mortal injury as a function of rapid decompression, were constructed for each species and compared to determine if differences existed between species across the range of rapid decompression.
