Effects of Total Dissolved Gas Supersaturation on the Survival of Juvenile <i>Procypris rabaudi</i> and Juvenile <i>Myxocyprinus asiaticus</i> at Varying Water Depth in a Natural River

Total dissolved gas (TDG) supersaturation, which can be caused by flood discharge, results in gas bubble disease (GBD) in fish and threatens their survival downstream of dams. TDG supersaturation has become a serious environmental problem in the Yangtze River. Few studies have evaluated the effect o...

To estimate fish tolerance to TDG supersaturation under natural conditions, juvenile <i>Myxocyprinus asiaticus</i> and juvenile <i>Procypris rabaudi</i> were exposed to TDG-supersaturated water for 96 h at various depths (0–0.3 m, 0.3–1.3 m, 1.3–2.3 m and 0–2.3 m) during periods of flood discharge of Dagangshan hydropower station.
