Life Stage
Detailed SR Function Description
Suitable velocity for Fraser fish is also similar to the WUP curve and identifies low-velocity habitat up to 35 cm/s as highly suitable. Maximum suitability extends to lower velocities for Fraser fish (5 cm/s) compared to the WUP curve.
Function Type
continuous
Stressor Scale
linear
