Cardiorespiratory collapse at high temperature in swimming adult sockeye salmon

Elevated river temperatures have been associated with high mortality in migrating adult sockeye salmon, which may be partially attributed to physiological limitations in aerobic performance. This study suggests that the decrease in aerobic scope above optimum temperatures is due to a cardiac limitation, triggered by reduced scope for heart rate.
