Abstract

Tests of prolonged swimming are generally considered most useful in sublethal stress assessment, as they draw on both major biochemical energy sources. No research to date has quantified either the swimming performance of I. punctatus or effects of nitrite exposure on swimming of any species. Our purpose was to determine if nitrite exposure affects the prolonged swimming performance of channel catfish, and to delineate the extent that methemoglobinemia resulting from nitrate exposure correlates with performance.
