Fisheries / migration
English term or phrase: rheophil
I wonder whether it is right. because e.g. the spelling I have here for reaction is: 'Rheoaction' so I hope you can still help me.
The context is fish migration and fish behavoiur, orientatin of fish with the current or against. 'Rheophil: 0,4 m/s'
