Abstract
Abundance, size (standard length, LS) and growth rate of early pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) 0+ juveniles were monitored in the epipelagic and bathypelagic layers near the dam, and in the middle and upper sections at the canyon-shaped Římov Reservoir (Czech Republic) during the day on 26 and 29 May, and during the night on 5 and 11 June in 2008. The greatest abundance of 0+ fish was observed in the middle section of the reservoir and their LS increased upstream from the dam towards the reservoir's tributary. Moreover, larger and older pikeperch 0+ juveniles migrated to the bathypelagic layer during the day. The epilimnetic temperature and productivity (expressed as chlorophyll-a concentration) gradients were suggested as the main drivers affecting the distribution and growth of the fish.
期刊介绍:
Ecology of Freshwater Fish publishes original contributions on all aspects of fish ecology in freshwater environments, including lakes, reservoirs, rivers, and streams. Manuscripts involving ecologically-oriented studies of behavior, conservation, development, genetics, life history, physiology, and host-parasite interactions are welcomed. Studies involving population ecology and community ecology are also of interest, as are evolutionary approaches including studies of population biology, evolutionary ecology, behavioral ecology, and historical ecology. Papers addressing the life stages of anadromous and catadromous species in estuaries and inshore coastal zones are considered if they contribute to the general understanding of freshwater fish ecology. Theoretical and modeling studies are suitable if they generate testable hypotheses, as are those with implications for fisheries. Manuscripts presenting analyses of published data are considered if they produce novel conclusions or syntheses. The journal publishes articles, fresh perspectives, and reviews and, occasionally, the proceedings of conferences and symposia.
