Brown trout Salmo trutta released to support recreational fishing in a Norwegian fjord 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
One- and two-year-old hatchery reared juveniles of seven freshwater resident and anadromous populations of Scandinavian brown trout were released in the outer and inner part of the Oslofjord and in the River Akerselva, flowing through the city of Oslo. Recapture rates were highest (mean 20.3%) for river released fish and lowest for those released in the outer (16.8%) and inner (12.1%) fjord. In general, recapture rate increased with fish size at release (r=0.76). When released in fresh water, most of the recaptures were from fresh water and when released in the fjord, most recaptures were from the fjord. In general, freshwater resident stocks showed a higher degree of freshwater residency than anadromous stocks. However, mean migratory distance was longer for freshwater resident than anadromous fish. Trout moved longer distances at sea when released in the outer than in the inner fjord. Specific growth rate and size at recapture varied among release sites and stocks; they were highest for fish released in the outer fjord and lowest for river-released trout. There was no consistent difference in sea growth between freshwater resident and anadromous stocks. Estimated total yield was highest for fish released in the outer fjord, whereas there was no significant difference in yields between trout released in the river and the inner Oslofjord. 相似文献

In a release experiment with cod in Norway, the apparent mean growth rates of 3+ cod, calculated by sampling the released cohorts at different ages, were very slow (<0·08 mm day−1 ). However, when individual growth rates of individual tagged cod of the same size range were measured, the mean growth rates were much faster (0·24 mm day−1 ). These observations were attributed to size-selective fishing mortality and were illustrated by an individual based simulation model of a cohort of cod with variable individual growth rates. The effects on mean length at age of the surviving cohort of increasing fishing intensity were demonstrated. The model showed that size-selective fishing with the observed individual growth variation, removed the fastest-growing individuals at proportionally higher rates than the slower-growing ones, leading to decreased apparent mean growth rate. The fishing pattern which gave the optimum yield, changed when individual variation was included, and when the apparent growth rate was used in the model the yield per recruit reduced dramatically. This study has shown that individual growth heterogeneity and size-selective mortality are factors which should be considered in future fisheries management models. 相似文献

To test whether seawater–acclimatization of hatchery–reared anadromous and freshwater resident brown trout before release increased the survival of adults, smolts were retained 0, 2, 4 and 8 weeks in sea water before release. Total recapture rate increased for smolts retained 4 and 8 weeks in sea water before release relative to the controls. This trend was more pronounced for Freshwater resident than for anadromous stocks, Offspring of anadromous fish stayed longer at sea than offspring of freshwater resident fish. Recapture rates in fresh water were higher for brown trout released in the river than in the fjord in the R, Drammen area, but not in the R. Imsa. In both cases, most fish were recaptured in the sea. Moving into the R. Imsa (relative to other rivers) appeared higher for fish released at the mouth of the river (93%) than in the fjord (47%). Judged from the recapture rates, sea survival appeared to be the same whether released in the fjord or at the mouth of the river. 相似文献

Hatchery-reared fish may not be behaviorally competent in the wild, thus increasing mortality rates of fishes stocked into natural environments. The goal of this study was to determine whether in situ acclimation at release sites can increase survival of juvenile hatchery-reared common snook (Centropomus undecimalis), a catadromous fish, stocked into an estuary in Sarasota, Florida. Juvenile snook (76-251 mm fork length) were tagged with coded-wire tags and released in four locations distributed along a salinity gradient of North Creek estuary. Three replicate releases were performed at each location. Overall, 1935 snook were acclimated in enclosures for 3 d, then, released simultaneously with 1925 non-acclimated snook (non caged snook transported direct from the laboratory and stocked into the creek). For recaptures of snook at large for 3 d or more, mean recapture rates of experimental release groups were significantly different (multiway ANOVA testing recapture rates by acclimation treatment, release site, and interactions, P = 0.001). Specifically, mean recapture rates of acclimated groups were 1.92 higher than those for non-acclimated groups (P = 0.002); hatchery snook recaptured from two of the four release sites represented 70% of total recaptures (P = 0.001); interactions between acclimation treatment and release site were not significant (P = 0.71). Site fidelity was approximately 60% regardless of acclimation condition, and did not significantly influence recapture rates. Thus, in situ acclimation has potential to significantly improve both post-release survival and information gained in stocking programs. 相似文献

Homing behaviour and group cohesion in Atlantic cod Gadus morhua from the northern Gulf of St Lawrence were studied based on tagging-recapture data from two periods, the 1980s and a recent period from 1996 to 2008. Two or more tags from a single tagging experiment were frequently recovered together in subsequent years. The null hypothesis was tested that the frequency of matching tag recoveries occurred by chance only through random mixing of tagged G. morhua before their recapture by the commercial fishery. The alternative hypothesis was that non-random, positive association (group cohesion) existed among tagged individuals that persisted through time and during migrations. Results show that the G. morhua population exhibits a homing behaviour, with temporal stability across seasons and years: 50% of recaptured fish in the recent period were caught <34 km from their mark site, even 3 years after release. In the 1980s, G. morhua were located at <10 km from their release site 1 year after tagging during summer and at <16 km during spring and autumn combined. Despite the increasing distance between the mark and recapture sites over time, the difference was not significant. In addition, occurrences of two or more tagged fish from the same release event that were caught together indicated a non-random association among individual fish for periods of one to several years and through migrations over several hundred kilometres. Hence G. morhua showed group cohesion in addition to site fidelity. These two interacting behaviours may be fundamental for the rebuilding and conservation of depleted fish stocks. 相似文献

The feeding and growth of hatchery-reared (HR) Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus of c. 100 mm total length (L(T) ) released off the coast of Fukushima, Japan, were investigated. From 2 to 15 days after release, the HR P. olivaceus frequently exhibited high empty-stomach frequency (>40%), low stomach-content mass (<1% of body mass), reduced somatic condition from release (c.-10%) and negligible growth. Thereafter, empty-stomach frequency decreased, the stomach-content mass of HR fish increased to 2-8% of body mass, the somatic condition recovered and growth rate increased to 0·5-1·5 mm day(-1) . Prey items were initially mysids, shifting thereafter to fishes such as the Japanese anchovy Engraulis japonica, as observed similarly in wild counterparts. The proportion of mysids decreased with time after release irrespective of size at release, indicating the importance of mysids for adaptation to natural food. Recapture rates at age 1 year, derived from fish market surveys, varied greatly among release years (4-11%). The variation in the recapture rates was largely accounted for by the post-release growth rates (r(2) = 0·5), suggesting a relationship between the post-release growth of HR fish and their survival and subsequent stocking effectiveness. 相似文献

Lice-infected sea trout populations were monitored using fish traps in the Romsdalsfjord (Norway). The reliability and efficiency of this capture technique, which allows estimation of lice infestation rates without killing the fish, was evaluated through a mark–recapture study. A total of 2447 sea trout smolts were captured, tagged and released over a three-year period. There was a considerable variation in capture rates (range: 0.4–17.7 fish per day) and sea lice numbers (number of lice per fish: 2.8–30.3; number of lice per gram body weight: 0.02–0.69) among localities, sampling times and years. Recapture rates of tagged fish with traps, which were low (2% or 0.11 fish per day), showed that the risk for pseudoreplication was minor, in terms of counting lice on the same fish several times. Most of the tagged sea trout (90%) were recaptured within the first two months after release, and no significant variations in lice numbers were found between tagging and recapture. The lack of differences in lice levels between tagging and recapture during the first week after tagging indicated that the method most likely would not significantly underestimate the lice infestations due to loss of lice during handling. Therefore, our results confirm that the use of fish traps is a suitable method for estimation of lice numbers on wild salmonids. 相似文献

We studied the ability of Akodon azarae (Rodentia, Muridae) to return to their preferred habitat, when released at a perpendicular distance (25, 50 or 75 m) from the edge towards the cropfield, and a parallel distance (100 m) away from the site of first capture within the edge habitat. Return success was estimated as the proportion of animals recovered in edges. The recapture rate between the field and the border was significantly higher than the recapture rate estimated according to successive captures in the border. Successful returns did not decrease significantly with increasing release distance, but animals released at 50 m from edges were less successful in returning to borders than the other release-distance groups. Although the median time taken to the first recapture in edges did not differ among the release-distance groups, rodents released at 25 m and 50 m returned to edges faster than those released at 75 m. A. azarae showed both a successful return to the edge and a trend to return to the home range area. We conclude that A. azarae can return to edges from cropfields at distances that are larger than those they usually travel, allowing the use of fields when they present good conditions for reproduction and survival. Successful return is probably the result of direct movements rather than random wandering. 相似文献

This study tested the hypothesis that the sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus, a diadromous species of fish, relies on innately discerned odours, including pheromones, to locate riverine spawning habitat. Migratory, sexually immature P. marinus were captured as they entered streams flowing into the Great Lakes, and their olfactory systems were occluded or not by injecting either innocuous dental impression material or a saline control into their nasopores. Animals were then released back into lakes or streams and their recapture rates in stream traps noted. When released into Lake Huron, P. marinus with intact (functional) olfactory systems were very successful in locating rivers (recapture rates ranged up to 65%), while animals with occluded nasopores were virtually unable to do so and had recapture rates five to 20 times lower than intact animals. With few exceptions, intact fish entered the stream closest to their release point within a few days, irrespective of where they had been originally captured; their ability to locate streams is apparently innate and well developed. In contrast, when released within streams, both intact and occluded P. marinus successfully swam upstream to traps for several days although the ability of the former exceeded that of the latter after this period. Migratory P. marinus rely heavily on olfactory cues, of which a larval pheromone is presumably one, to locate river mouths and to a lesser extent to promote upstream movement within rivers. 相似文献

Captive-reared fish often have poor survival in the wild and may fail to boost threatened populations. Enrichment during the nursery period can in some circumstances generate a broader behavioural repertoire than conventional hatchery production. Yet, we do not know if enrichment promotes survival after release into the wild. We conducted a field experiment during three field seasons using age 0+ year Atlantic salmon Salmo salar to investigate if enrichment during rearing, in the form of structural complexity (shelters), reduced immediate (within 2 days after release) predation mortality by piscine predators (brown trout Salmo trutta) and if such rearing environments improved long-term (2–3 months after release) post-release survival. In addition, we investigated if predation mortality of released fry was size-selective. S. salar fry were reared in a structurally enriched environment or in a conventional rearing environment and given otolith marks using alizarin during the egg stage to distinguish between enriched and conventionally-reared fry. The outcome from the field experiments showed that structural enrichment did not consistently reduce immediate predation mortality and it did not improve, or had a negative effect on, the recapture rate of fry from the river 2–3 months after release. The data also showed that enriched rearing tended to reduce growth. Additionally, we found that S. trutta predators fed on small individuals of the released fry. Overall, the data suggest that structural enrichment alone is not sufficient to improve long-term survival of hatchery-reared fish after release and that other factors might affect post-release survival. 相似文献

In many organisms, body size is positively correlated with traits that are presumably related to fitness. If directional
selection frequently favors larger offspring (the “bigger is better” hypothesis), the results of such selection should be
detectable with field experiments. We tested the “bigger is better” hypothesis in hatchling snapping turtles (Chelydra serpentina) by conducting one long-term and three short-term experiments on the University of Michigan E.S. George Reserve in southeastern
Michigan. In the fall of 1995 and 1996, we released hatchlings at artificial nests separated from the nearest wetland by fences.
We recorded the proportion of hatchlings recaptured, the time it took hatchlings to move to fences from artificial nests 45,
55, and 80 m away, and dispersion along the fence. We determined whether the response variables and probability of recapture
at fences were associated with hatchling body size. During 1995, average travel times of hatchlings from the experimental
nests were not related to distance from the fence; however, time to recapture was positively correlated with dispersion from
the zero point on the fence, and the maximum time to reach the fence was almost twice as long for hatchlings from the 80-m
nest compared to those from the 45-m nest. Sixty-seven percent of the hatchlings reached the fence and the proportions doing
so from each nest were not different. Body size was not significantly related to probability of recapture in either of the
1995 experiments. In 1996, 59% of released hatchlings were recaptured. Time to recapture was not related to dispersion from
the zero point or to body size. Cubic spline analysis suggested stabilizing selection on body size. We also conducted a set
of long-term hatchling release experiments between 1980–1993 to compare the survival of hatchlings released at nest sites
to that of hatchlings released directly into marshes, and we looked for relationships between survivorship and hatchling body
size. During 7 years in which more than 30 hatchlings were released, 413 hatchlings were released directly into the marsh
and 262 were released at nests: their probability of survival did not differ. Over all years, for both release groups combined
and for each group separately, survival was not related to body size. In 1983 alone, survival was also not related to body
size for either group or for both groups combined. In our three short-term experiments and one long-term experiment, we found
no evidence to support the “bigger is better” hypothesis. When selection on body size did occur, selection was stabilizing,
not directional for larger size.

Abstract. Marked Glossina pallidipes Austen were released downwind of an odour source in the field in Zimbabwe and the percentage recaptured at the source on the same day was measured.In the absence of odour, 1.3% of the marked tsetse released from a box or refuge were recaptured, independent of the distance between release point and odour source.The distance was varied from 10 to 100 m.When natural ox odour or a blend of carbon dioxide, acetone, octenol and phenols was dispensed, untransformed recapture percentages of box-released tsetse decreased from 18% for tsetse released at 10 m to 2% for tsetse released at 100 m.Recapture percentages were significantly higher than in the absence of odour at all release distances for ox odour and for release distances up to 75 m downwind for the artificial odour.When a combination of acetone, octenol and phenols or carbon dioxide on its own was dispensed, recapture percentages decreased from 6% for tsetse released at 10 m to 0% for tsetse released at 100 m.With these odours, recapture percentages were higher than in the absence of odour when tsetse were released at 20 m from the source, but were lower than recaptures in the presence of ox odour or the artificial mixture with carbon dioxide.Recapture percentages of flies spontaneously leaving refuges were higher than those of box-released tsetse.Proximity of source had no effect on the recapture percentage of refuge-leaving tsetse and host-location efficiency was close to 100% when host odour was detected at 30 m or less.The results are discussed in relation to the host location strategy of tsetse. 相似文献

We investigated the winter feeding ecology of cod ( Gadus morhua ) in the Risørfjord and Flødevigen areas on the Skagerrak coast, southern Norway. Diets from the ice-covered Risørfjord were compared with diets from the more coastal Flødevigen area. In the Risørfjord area the diet featured numerically both decapods (56.0%) and fish (27.8%), but fish dominated by mass (75.1%). The most numerous dietary items from the Flødevigen area were decapods (48.1%) and isopods (30.6%), although fish still made up the bulk of the diet's mass (52.6%). Diets at Flødevigen shifted from winter to spring, as polychaetes became important numerically (67.8%) and also contributed substantially by weight (53.6%). Since cod feed opportunistically, differences between areas and seasons probably reflected differences in prey diversity and abundance. Prey size variability increased with increasing predator length, but maximum prey size relative to predator length was constant at about 9%. Prey fish increased in both length and numbers with the length of cod, particularly in the Risørfjord area, where fish were more important in the diet than at Flødevigen. However, the majority of fish consumed in both areas were small gobiids. Based on growth patterns observed in otoliths, with opaque zones (indicating faster growth) formed during winter, the quality and quantity of the winter diet may determine annual growth rates of cod on the Skagerrak coast. Fish and decapods constituted important, high energy food sources, and there was little indication that cod were food limited during winter in this area. 相似文献

Demographic and life history response of the cladoceranBosmina longirostris to variation in predator abundance 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Population dynamics, demography and body size of the cladoceranBosmina longirostris were examined in an experimental study in which the abundance of its predator (the cyprind fishPhoxinus eos) was varied in an unproductive lake. Four densities of fish were used, encompassing the biomass of fish in the lake.Bosmina was most abundant at low and medium fish densities (1.06 and 2.12 g fish biomass · m-3) and less abundant when fish were either absent or present at high density (3.71 g fish biomass · m-3). The unimodal response to predator abundance resulted from effects on both birth and death rates.Bosmina birth rates increased as fish biomass increased, in response to increasing food (phytoplankton) biomass. Death rates were highest at high fish biomass (because of fish predation) and in the absence of fish (because of predation by the dipteranChaoborus, which was most abundant in the absence of fish). Size-frequency distributions revealed that fish eliminated the larger size classes ofBosmina, and mean carapace length ofBosmina populations was inversely proportional to fish biomass.Bosmina initiated reproduction at smaller size in the presence of fish than in their absence, and size at maturity was inversely proportional to fish biomass. Size at birth also tended to decrease with increasing fish biomass, but this trend was not as strong as that of size at maturity. Decreased size at maturity apparently allowedBosmina individuals to reproduce before becoming vulnerable to fish predation. Flexibility in size at maturity, together with low abundance of invertebrate predators and large herbivores (which were preyed upon by fish), allowedBosmina to become abundant in low and medium fish treatments. In the high fish treatment, mortality due to fish predation was too severe to be offset by decreased size at maturity, andBosmina population density was low. The net response ofBosmina populations to fish predation results from interactive effects of predation on mortality, natality, and life history traits. 相似文献

Most reintroduction and restocking programs consist of releasing captive-raised juveniles. The usefulness of these programs has been questioned, and therefore, quality control is advisable. However, evaluating restocking effectiveness is challenging because mortality estimation is required. Most methods for estimating mortality are based on tag recovery. In the case of fish, juveniles are tagged before release, and fishermen typically recover tags when fish are captured. The statistical models currently available for analyzing these data assume either constant mortality rates, fixed tag non-reporting rates, or both. Here, instead, we proposed a method that considers the mortality rate variability as a function of age/size of the released juveniles. Furthermore, the proposed method can disentangle natural from fishing mortality, analyzing the temporal distribution of the captures reported by fishermen from multiple release events. This method is demonstrated with a restocking program of a top-predator marine fish, the meagre (Argyrosomus regius), in the Balearic Islands. The estimated natural mortality just after release was very high for young fish (m
0 = 0.126 day-1 for fish 180 days old), but it was close to zero for large/old fish. These large/old fish were more resilient to wild conditions, although a long time was needed to achieve a relevant reduction in natural mortality. Conversely, these large/old fish were more vulnerable to fishing, creating a trade-off in survival. The release age that maximizes the number of survivors after, for example, one year at liberty was estimated to be 1,173 days. However, the production cost of relatively old fish is high, and only a few fish can be produced and released within a realistic budget. Therefore, in the case of the meagre, increasing the number of released fish will have no or scarce effects on restocking success. Conversely, it is advisable implement measures to reduce the high natural mortality of young juveniles and/or the length of time needed to improve fish resilience. 相似文献

In laboratory predation trials kinsen-gani crab Matuta lunaris rarely preyed on hatchery-reared (HR) Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus , even at extremely elevated prey densities ( c . 90 fish m−2 ), but fed readily on sacrificed Japanese founder. This suggests that under similar conditions in the wild predator-prey interactions between kinsen-gani and juvenile Japanese flounder are likely to be weak. Larger Japanese flounder readily cannibalized smaller conspecifics, suggesting that within-release group cannibalism may contribute considerably to post-release mortality of HR Japanese flounder when sufficient size variation exists within groups of released fish. Kinsen-gani presence had no effect on within-release group cannibalism rates of large Japanese flounder on small Japanese flounder. Within-release group cannibalism rates were significantly affected by densities of smaller (prey) fish, implying that the number of fish released (and thus post-release densities) in stock enhancement programmes may significantly affect post-release mortality rates. The probability of within-release group cannibalism increased rapidly as the cannibal-to-prey size ratio exceeded 1.6, suggesting that minimizing size variation of released HR individuals will reduce post-release cannibalism rates. These results have implications for Japanese flounder stock enhancement release strategies, and may be applicable to other finfish stock enhancement programmes. 相似文献

Development and effects of adult Lernaeocera branchialis were studied following experimental transmission to Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua. Growth from the detection of pennella stages to mature adults was approximately 9-10 mo (September-June of the following year) at which time eggs were released and the adult parasites degenerated. Cod from all size groups were susceptible but the prevalence of infection was greater in small fish. Peak mortality, about 30%, occurred within 4 mo after infection and was greatest in young fish with multiple infections. Death was associated with emaciation, blood loss, open lesions, and probable occlusion of branchial blood vessels and/or ventral aorta. Infected fish, especially subadults that survived, consumed less food, gained less weight, had a lower conversion factor, and were substantially smaller than uninfected controls through a 32-wk period. Many of these fish displayed hyperactivity. Large cod that survived the infection and harboured 1 parasite were apparently unaffected but died when stressed. A previous infection conferred no protection against reinfection. Multiple infections delayed gonadal maturation and resulted in significantly lower gonadal somatic indices than in controls. Exposure of infected fish to crude oil fractions or to infection with a hemoprotozoan, Trypanosoma murmanensis, culminated in mortality, weight loss, or low organ somatic indices. It is estimated that considerable losses through mortality and weight gain in young fish occur each year in coastal areas from infections by L. branchialis, particularly in one area where it was estimated that 20% of the population was infected. 相似文献

Size-dependent mortality of red sea bream, Pagrus major, juveniles released with fluorescent otolith-tags in News Bay, Japan 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Totals of 2. 67 x 105 and 7. 56 x 105 juvenile red sea bream of three size groups (10, 20 and 40 mm t.l.) marked with a fluorescent substance in the otolith were released in News Bay, Oita Prefecture, Japan, in July 1987 and June 1988, respectively; the aim was to estimate growth and mortality of different developmental stages.
Of fish released in 1987 and 1988, 10 618 and 4413, respectively were recaptured during those two years. Released fish remained in the bay until the end of summer, and afterwards migrated out towards open waters. Fish of the 40-mm group released in 1987 grew to over 200 mm t.l. in one year. Mean growth rate for 19 days after release was higher in the 40-mm group (0. 87 mm day−1 ) than in the 20-mm group (0. 74mm day−1 ). Survival rates over 19 days were 59. 0 and 10. 1 % for 40-mm and 20-mm fish, respectively, in 1987, and those over 30 days were 69. 2, 3. 3 and 0. 0% for 40-mm, 20-mm and 10-mm fish, respectively, in 1988.
Cannibalism was indicated by the presence of marked otoliths for 20-mm fish in the stomachs of a few 40-mm individuals recaptured 2 days after release. Size-dependent growth and size-selective mortality were both noted in juvenile red sea bream, i.e. the relative size differential between larger and smaller individuals was maintained in the period between marking and recapture, and mortality was inversely proportional to size. 相似文献
