Just to stir the pot; remember that fish are cold blooded and we are warm blooded. So "felt" temperatures likely vary.
Next you'll be telling the Earth is round and not flat. Sheesh!afishinado wrote:
Flowing water constantly mixes and doesn't allow stratification. Until Mike posted this, I thought this was common knowledge and universally accepted like gravity or the Earth moving around the sun.

Radiant heat vs conducted heat.
Kinda like how on a winter morning, there will be frost in the shadows but not out in the sun, even though the overall air temps may be the same.
There's not a study out there that will convince me that the bottom of a deep pool isn't colder (in warm weather) than the surface. It just isn't so. In very cold weather, the opposite will be true, as the ground will help to insulate the deeper water from the colder temps caused by the air at the surface.

..in the Delaware R in Phila where the water is 40 ft deep, the summer temp difference from surface to bottom is 0.1-0.2 degrees C.
You don't need a study....just a thermometer! And ^ that's in 40' of water1

Which is more important: temperature or oxygenation for their survival? When I have a fan blowing on me it feels cooler - it's still the same air temperature however more oxygen is being pushed my way.
