In situ evaluations of the metabolic rates (i.e., respiration and excretion) salmonid eggs are mostly indirect, focusing on sampling hyporheic water from wild or artificial nests. Comparatively, experimental studies carried out under controlled, laboratory conditions less abundant due to methodological difficulties. This study presents a novel setup aimed address this issue enable measurement oxygen dissolved inorganic nitrogen fluxes in simulated rainbow trout (O. mykiss) egg pockets. The...
Climate change is expected to alter the timing and intensity of precipitation river discharge patterns, leading hydrological extremes. Compared forested watersheds, highly urbanized cultivated areas are prone sediment nutrient loads from agricultural fields, impacting water quality. On other hand, prolonged low periods limit rivers’ dilution capacity, result in hyporheic stagnation accumulation metabolic end products. Hydrological extremes may, therefore, produce severe implications for...
