Abstract
The effects of periodic, simulated water level fluctuations on northern pike fry produced by pumped-storage operations were examined. Daily fluctuations of 10 cm caused a significant increase in the daily mortality rate. Waves reduced the detrimental effect of water level lfuctuations, at least during the adhesive phase of fry.
