Subject: strobe lights and fish

Hello,

    I am interested in possible harm, including momentary
disorientation, to either juvenile Pacific salmon or kokanee that might
be caused by very bright strobe lights (about 5 Hz).  Does anyone know
of work on the effect of strobes on swimming, orientation, optomotor
response, etc. in any fish species or especially any salmonid?

Thank you,
Carl Schilt
