Table 1 Empirical model (regression) for the swimming speed of largemouth bass (B SS , m/s) using water temperature and body length (TL, cm) (Beamish, 1970)
Habitat water temperature (°C) | Largemouth bass swimming speed (B SS , m/s) | Period of study sites |
|---|---|---|
10 | Log B SS = 0.9342 + 0.0303 TL | April/December |
15 | Log B SS = 1.2068 + 0.0210 TL | May/November |
20 | Log B SS = 1.4465 + 0.0137 TL | June–July/October |
25 | Log B SS = 1.5023 + 0.0117 TL | August–September |
30 | Log B SS = 1.5008 + 0.0120 TL | Expected water temperature |
35 | Log B SS = 1.3968 + 0.0139 TL |
