Supersaturation can result in gas bubble disease which has been described in a wide variety of fishes and invertebrates. In recent years dissolved gas supersaturation resulting from dams and thermal discharges has produced mortalities of fish in several cases. This review discusses most of the available literature dealing with dissolved gas supersaturation and the recorded cases of gas bubble disease. Gas bubble disease is a condition that affects aquatic animals residing in fresh or marine waters that are supersaturated with atmospheric gases. Supersaturation, and the gas bubble disease that may result in aquatic organisms, are not recent discoveries nor are they only caused by human activities. However, only in recent years has supersaturation become a problem of sufficient magnitude to draw widespread attention and concern. The majority of research dealing with dissolved gas supersaturation has been stimulated by a problem of considerable magnitude that was observed in the Columbia River system beginning in the 1960's. More recently, interest has been further stimulated by the discovery of deleterious effects of supersaturation resulting from thermal effluents. 1976.
