In the highly eutrophic lake, Frederiksborg Slotssø, the diet composition of the bream (Abramis brama L.) and roach (Rutilus rutilus L.) populations was examined during three periods with different food availability. The length range of bream and roach was 9–34 cm (TL) and 5–18 cm (TL), respectively. The relative food composition was examined for 2 cm and 1 cm length intervals of bream and roach, respectively. During all three periods, bream shifted from benthic cladocerans (Alona sp.) to zooplankton and chironomids within a transitional length of 15.0–20.0 cm. These foodshifts were coupled with a change in feeding behaviour from particulate to filter feeding. The biomass of chironomids was too low to sustain the consumption of larger bream (>20.0 cm) which initiated feeding in the pelagic zone even in periods when the mean length and biomass of the preferred zooplankton, Daphnia cucullata, were low. In contrast to bream, roach fed mainly on zooplankton. With increasing size, roach progressively shifted to larger zooplankton species due to the increasing mesh size of their branchial system. The importance of benthic animals in the diet of roach was minor due to low feeding efficiency on prey buried in the sediment. Detritus appeared in the diet of bream and roach in periods of low availability of animal food items. Feeding on detritus may provide an energetic advantage to bream and roach and increase the carrying capacity for these species in lakes, where detritus is highly abundant. Especially for the larger fish due to the decrease in their relative metabolic demands. However, the ability of bream to filter feed and with increasing size to retain food items smaller than those retained by roach may be the main mechanism for the dominance of bream over roach in highly eutrophic lakes.  相似文献

The littoral zone of Lake Balaton and its periphyton-zooplankton-fish communities have been investigated intensively in recent years. Total average number of crustacean plankton varied from 36 to 126 ind l–1, their biomass from 0.49 to 1.86 mg ww l–1 month–1 at different areas of the littoral zone. In general, these values for the above parameters were higher in hypertrophic areas. 23 fish species occurred in the littoral zone with cyprinids dominating. The seasonal food spectra of Y-O-Y roach (Rutilus rutilus), white bream (Blicca bjoerkna) and bream (Abramis brema) were based mainly on planktonic crustaceans and benthic/periphytic invertebrates. According to the frequency of occurrence of crustaceans and other invertebrates, the food composition of young cyprinids differed significantly in the NE and SW-basins of the lake.  相似文献

Gut evacuation and its dependence on the temperature in bream Abramis brama , silver bream Blicca bjoerkna , roach Rutilus rutilus , gibel Carassius aurtaus gibelio and carp Cyprinus carpio , held in mesh cages in Lake Balaton, was best fitted by an exponential model in 18 of 36 trials, while in 14 and four trials, a linear and a square-root model, respectively, gave a better fit. Adjusted r 2 values, however, often did not differ markedly between the three models. The shape parameter, B , was 0.36 for carp and ranged from 0.81 to 1.24 for the other four cyprinids, according to the general evacuation model expanded with the temperature variable, and fitted to whole data sets. Relationships between the food evacuation rates obtained from the exponential models and the temperature were described by exponential functions for bream, silver bream, roach and gibel.  相似文献

The food, growth and abundance of five co-existing cyprinid fish species in the eutrophic Lake Hiidenvesi were studied. The diet overlaps within the cyprinid community in shallow lake basins were compared with those in a deep basin, where littoral resources are less available. Roach, bleak and white bream inhabited both the shallow and the deep parts of the lake. Their growth rate was slow, probably due to the low availability of animal food, indicated by the increasing proportion of detritus and plant material in the diets towards the end of the summer. In the deep basin, roach and bleak, contrary to white bream, did not forage on the very abundant invertebrate Chaoborus flavicans, explained by the migration behaviour of C. flavicans. Blue bream, unlike other cyprinids, utilized copepods and had a relatively fast growth rate, but was mostly restricted to the shallow areas. The condition of the bream stock was weak both in terms of growth and abundance. The availability of zoobenthos was low and bream was not able to compete for zooplankton with the more specialized planktivores.  相似文献

Daily rations of five cyprinid species, bream Abramis brama , silver bream Blicca bjoerkna , roach Rutilus rutilus , gibel Carassius auratus gibelio and carp Cyprinus carpio , in Lake Balaton, a large shallow lake, estimated by the Eggers model differed from that of the Elliott – Persson model by only − 4.3 to +7.3% (the differences were insignificant). Daily rations varied within the range of 0.23–0.69 in bream, 0.55–3.61 in silver bream, 0.69–4.65 in roach, 0.38–3.16 in gibel and 0.50–9.74 g dry 100 g wet fish mass−1 day −1 in carp at temperatures ranging from 8.7–25.8% C. Daily ration was related exponentially with temperature in silver bream, roach, gibel and carp. For bream, a significant relationship was obtained only when a daily ration value was excluded from the analysis. Annual rations were assessed using the relationships between the daily ration estimates from the Elliott—Persson model and water temperature, and the long-term averages of the monthly water temperature data. From these estimates the bream population consumed 104%, silver bream 424%, roach 487%, gibel 363% and carp 913% dry mass of food of its wet biomass annually.  相似文献

Synopsis The filter feeding organ of cyprinid fishes is the branchial sieve, which consists of a mesh formed by gill rakers and tiny channels on the gill arches. In order to establish its possible role during growth we measured the following morphological gill raker parameters over a range of sizes in three cyprinid fishes, bream, white bream and roach: inter raker distance, bony raker length, raker width, cushion length and channel width. At any given standard length common bream has the largest inter raker distance, roach the lowest and white bream is intermediate. In the comb model of filter feeding the inter raker distance is considered to be a direct measure of the mesh size and retention ability (= minimal size of prey that can be retained) of a filter. For the three species under study there is a conflict between the comb model and experimental data on particle retention. Lammens et al. (1987) found that common bream has a large retention ability whereas roach and white bream have a much smaller one. A new model, the channel model (Hoogenboezem et al. 1991) has been developed for common bream; in this model the lateral gill rakers can regulate the mesh size of the medial channels on the other side of the gill slit. The present data indicate that this model is not appropriate for white bream and roach. At any given standard length white bream and roach only reach 70% of the raker length of common bream, which means that in this model the gill slits should to be very narrow during filter feeding. The gill rakers consist of a bony raker and a fleshy cushion. The bony rakers have a rather long needle-like part outside the cushion in bream, but not in white bream and roach which have blunt gill rakers. Blunt gill rakers are not suited to reduce the diameter of the medial channels. The comb model seems more appropriate for white bream and roach, but doubts about the validity of this simple model remain. The sum of the areas of the medial channels is an approximation of the area through which water flows in the filter. This channel area therefore gives an impression of the capacity or flow rate of the filter. With this capacity estimation and an estimation of energy consumption we calculated an energy ratio of filter feeding. The energy ratio decreases with increasing standard length with an exponent close to the expected exponent of -0.40. The energy ratio is highest in bream, intermediate in white bream and lowest in roach.  相似文献

Feeding of fish in Lake Glubokoe   总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0  
O. S. Boikova 《Hydrobiologia》1986,141(1-2):95-111
Lake Glubokoe is inhabited by 13 species of fish. The commonest are roach, bream, perch and ruff. Comparison of seine catches for 1950 and 1984 revealed a considerable decrease in the share of perch (from 31% to 2%) and ruff (from 18.5 to less than 0.1%) in 1984. The richest food resource in the lake is crustacean plankton. In summer, it is mostly consumed by roach. Estimation of the electivity shows that, unlike perch, roach selectively consumes small crustaceans (Bosmina and Polyphemus). Poor growth rate of all common species of fish points to their food limitation. In summer the diets of common species of fish are differentiated to a considerable extent. Of 36 pairs of combinations a high food overlap was found only in 2 cases: 1) O + perch and Leucaspius delineatus, 2) yearlings and adult roach. Low diet overlap in fish during intensive feeding in summer probably reflects a feedback between the volume and intensity of food competition. The populations of bream and ruff probably compete for chironomid larvae which inhabit the sublittoral, as perch, roach and Leucaspius delineatus probably do for large littoral insects. However, intraspecific competition appears to be more important than interspecific for the roach and bream populations (the two most numerous species in the lake).  相似文献

The abundance of benthic macroinvertebrate taxa and the relative abundance of zooplankton taxa were compared with the diet of bream, tench. perch and roach from two gravel pit lakes during May-July 1986 and 1987. Significant food preferences were demonstrated between species and between lakes. Chironomid pupae dominated the macroinvertebrate diet of perch, roach, ate predominantly either Spirogyra sp. (St Peters Lake) or Daphniu hyalina (Main Lake).
The Main Lake, bream fed largely upon chironomid larvae and the bivalve Sphuerium but in St Peters Lake they positively selected a variety of less abundant benthic invertebrate taxa. Bream switched from benthos to zooplankton in the Main Lake in 1986. Tench ate large numbers of Aselhs and showed positive selection of various macroinvertebrate prey in St Peters but ate D. hjulim in Main Lake. Tropic overlap for chironomids and other macroinvertebrate prey was demonstrated between perch, bream and tench, and potentially with wildfowl which used the gravel pits for breeding and wintering.  相似文献

In the Enonselkä and Laitialanselkä basins of Lake Vesijärvi, perch Perca fluviatilis and roach Rutilus rutilus were abundant in the littoral and in the pelagic zones throughout the summer. In the littoral zone, roach was always more numerous than perch, while perch dominated in the open water. Intraspecific diet overlap values were higher than interspecific values. In the pelagic zone, perch <155 mm fed mainly on the cladoceran Leptodora kindtii , while small bosminids were most important food items for roach. Large perch were piscivorous, feeding mainly on smelt Osmerus eperlanus . In the littoral zone small perch foraged on zooplankton and chironomid larvae and large perch on chironomids and fish (small perch). Small roach fed mainly on bosminids and detritus, while for roach <185 mm macrophytes ( Elodea Canadensis, Lemna trisulca ) were also of importance. Detritus was more common in the food of roach in Laitialanselkä than in Enonselkä. The slower growth rate of roach in Laitialanselkä compared with Enonselkä was probably connected with this. However, considering the latitude of the lake, the growth rate of both roach and perch was relatively fast in both basins. The results indicated that in a large lake both perch and roach are able to utilize effectively the different habitats and diverse food resources. By segregation in food resource utilization they are able to co-exist in large quantities, at the same time maintaining a relatively fast growth rate.  相似文献

Synopsis Most of the lakes in The Netherlands are turbid and without vegetation. This is regarded as the result of increasing eutrophication within the last decades. Under these conditions common bream, roach, and white bream are the most common cyprinids. In six shallow (1–3 m), wind exposed lakes the abundance of common bream and roach was linked to the abundance of pikeperch; bream dominated when pikeperch was abundant, but when the latter species was rare, roach was dominant and the biomass of bream was reduced. The biomass of white bream was always relatively low. In lake Tjeukemeer the distribution of roach < 20 cm fork length (FL) and bream was also related to the distribution of pikeperch. Only roach > 20 cm FL managed to coexist with pikeperch in the open water area, whereas roach < 20 cm was confined to the littoral zone where pikeperch was nearly absent. Bream occurred mainly in the open water and avoided the littoral zone where it competed with roach. White bream occupied an intermediate position, occurring in relatively low density both in the littoral zone and in open water. The importance of predation and competition in determining the distribution and abundance of roach and common bream in the eutrophic lakes of The Netherlands is discussed.  相似文献

The total amylolytic activity and activity of alkaline phosphatase in the intestine mucosa of larvae and fries of roach, blue bream, and perch change both during the process of individual development and during the day. Maximal intensities of juvenile feeding was observed primarily in the morning and evening hours. The pattern of diurnal alkaline phosphatase activity correlates to a greater extent to intensity of juvenile feeding, in comparison to the pattern of total amylolytic activity. In planktivorous blue bream, such regularity is more pronounced than in benthivorous roach. The total amylolytic activity in fries of roach, blue bream and perch correlates to fish type of feeding.  相似文献

1. Diel feeding activity and diet of red roach (Rutilus arcasii) were determined on five occasions (February, April, June, August and November 1985) in a seasonal, fluctuating stream subject to severe summer droughts and cold winter floods. 2. Except in June, the two age groups of the population (1 + and >1+) fed mainly on detritus and showed no significant differences either in their feeding intensity or in the relative contribution of the main diet components (detritus, plants and invertebrates). 3. The size, abundance and availability of drifting invertebrates influenced red roach feeding. When drift was scarce or inaccessible, both age groups fed on detritus, plants, or a combination of the two. These niche shifts were a trophic tactic aimed at maintaining feeding when other, more nutritional and energetically valuable foods were scarce. 4. A comparison with other populations suggested that a detritus-based diet had no major cost in the life history of the red roach. We hypothesize that the highly opportunistic trophic strategy of this Iberian endemic cyprinid is an adaptative response to seasonal Mediterranean streams.  相似文献

Data on feeding of the bream Abramis brama, roach Rutilus rutilus, and white bream Blicca bjoerkna in Chogray Reservoir in 2010 and 2012 are presented. The main diet of bream consists of Chironomidae, and the diet of roach and white bream consists of the bivalve mollusk Dreissena polymorpha.  相似文献

Between 1981–83 the gut contents ofDaphnia galeata, D. cucullata, Eudiaptomus gracilis, andCyclops vicinus were examined with light and scanning electron microscope to obtain information on the feeding of these species in Lake Balaton. The twoDaphnia species feed mainly on abioseston, and it is assumed that their primary nutrient source was organic matter adsorbed onto the surfaces of the abioseston granules plus bacteria and detritus.E. gracilis feeds on algae, showing a preference for green algae and diatoms.C. vicinus is also a prodigious consumer of algae in Lake Balaton, utilizing the whole size spectrum of phytoplankton. Concerning the trophic relationships between phytoplankton and zooplankton in Lake Balaton, that between diatoms and bothE. gracilis andC. vicinus is the most conspicouos. Convincing evidence for an extensive utilization of blue-green algae was not found. Though there is no firm evidence yet, it is likely that theDaphnia are dependent on organic matter adsorbed on the abioseston.  相似文献

In ten 0.1 ha drainable ponds O+ cyprinids were stocked to assess their impact on the aquatic community. Bream and roach were stocked in early June, 1986, and carp in early July, 1986. The ponds were drained mid November, 1986. The relationship between the fish community and its food resource was estimated in terms of production and consumption with use of the data on growth and mortality of the fish. The average gross production of the fish species in the ten ponds (48.4 kg during the experiment) was dominated by the carp (58.5%). A minimum estimate of the food consumption of the O+ cyprinids is 760 kJ.m–2. The average production of bream and roach was much lower than that of carp due to a higher mortality and a more specialized feeding pattern. The gross productions of carp, bream and roach in the ten ponds were not significantly related, although stomach analysis showed diet overlap between the carp and the bream.  相似文献

The diet and growth of two cyprinids, roach Rutilus rutilus and rudd Scardinius erythrophthalmus, in the clay-turbid Kirkkojärvi basin in Lake Hiidenvesi (Finland) were studied. Young R. rutilus fed mainly on detritus, molluscs, chironomids and zooplankton, while older individuals consumed mostly detritus, molluscs and filamentous algae. In the food of S. erythrophthalmus , detritus was less prevalent and animal food and plants contributed to most of the diets. The animal food of S. erythrophthalmus consisted mostly of surface insects. Of the plant food, the macrophytes Potamogeton obtusifolius and Ranunculus circinatus had the highest representation, while the proportion of filamentous algae was low. The growth rate of S. erythrophthalmus was significantly higher than that of R. rutilus . The results suggested that the species composition of vascular macrophytes was not favourable for R. rutilus . Small submerged species suitable for R. rutilus were absent and they fed on filamentous algae and detritus, which resulted in a slow growth rate. The results suggested that in a clay-turbid lake the food spectrum is more suitable for S. erythrophthalmus than for R. rutilus . In such conditions, R. rutilus may have no benefit from its generalistic feeding abilities.  相似文献

Summary The feeding efficiency (the amount of food organisms (chironomids) eaten per unit time and weight raised to the power 0.8) of bream and white bream was determined in relation to the grain size of the substrate, in which the food was presented. Sand was used as substrate with a grain size up to 1500 , divided in eight fractions. The bream used had lengths of 14 and 33 cm and the white bream had a length of 21 cm.The experiments showed quite clearly that the grain size of the substrate influenced the feeding efficiency of all these fishes. An increasing grain size resulted in an decreasing feeding efficiency, because only up to a definite grain size the substrate can be filtered through the gill rakers. If the grain size is larger, the substrate cannot be sieved and is spit out. The size at which this switch occurred was different for all the fishes. For the small bream it was 350 , for the large bream 500 , and for the white bream 600 .Comparing the feeding efficiencies for a grain size which can be sieved by all these fishes, no significant difference was found between large bream and white bream. The small bream, however, was less efficient. Probably this difference is caused by the different sucking capacities of small and large fish. The small bream cannot in one time suck in the chironomids presented at 1 cm depth, while large bream and white bream can. So both grain size and depth at which the food was presented differentially determined the feeding efficiency of these fishes.  相似文献

Intra- and interspecific differences in pigmentation between finfold larvae of the three most abundant cyprinids in Dutch eutrophic waters, bream, white bream and roach, were studied, using laboratory-raised larvae in the length range 8–11 mm. Because the internal pigmentation of the larvae has been used for identification, some attention is paid to the effects of different ways of fixation and preservation on transparency. The size and the shape of the melanophores, as described in the literature, could not be used as identification characters because of too much intraspecific variation and the effects of light conditions at the moment of fixation. Three characters proved to be significant for the identification of the larvae of the three species. Roach can be distinguished from bream and white bream by the pattern of melanophores on the belly. A second character is the pigmentation of the ventral aorta, which is only found in white bream. Lastly bream shows an irregular pattern of melanophores on the dorsal side, in contrast to roach which has a regular pattern.  相似文献

In this paper I investigate the resource partitioning of roach Rutilus rutilus and bleak Alburnus alburnus in two eutrophic lakes in SE Norway. Zooplankton was the preferred food item for both species during summer, whereas blue-green algae dominated the diet in September/October. There was no diet overlap in May, with the roach feeding mainly on detritus and the bleak feeding on surface insects. During summer the diet overlap increased, reaching high values in autumn. Habitat overlap was close to unity in spring and early summer. Coinciding with increasing diet overlap during summer and autumn the overlap in habitat decreased.  相似文献

The fish community in Tjeukemeer was monitored from 1971 to 1988 by trawling, and during the summer of 1988 the distribution of the more abundant species was determined in relation to size and location. Bream, pikeperch and smelt were the most dominant fishes, whereas roach, white bream, perch and ruffe comprised <10% of the total catches. After the termination in 1977 of the intensive gillnet fishery both pikeperch >50 cm and bream >30 cm increased in biomass, but roach >15 cm and perch >15 cm virtually disappeared and pikeperch <50 cm substantially decreased. Only smelt, ruffe, white bream and bream <30 cm hardly changed in biomass. Bream, pikeperch, perch and smelt were restricted to the open water zone, but roach <15 cm and 0 + bream were confined to the littoral zone. White bream and ruffe did not show a distinct habitat preference. Because the recruitment of smelt is largely dependent on immigration from the IJsselmeer, a feed-back between the smelt and pikeperch population is lacking. Because the carrying capacity of the pikeperch population is mainly determined by smelt, the other fish <15 cm are very vulnerable to predation when the smelt population is consumed, before a new year-class of smelt is recruited, or when the smelt fails to recruit. The vulnerability to predation of the different species and their feeding habits are discussed in relation to their distribution.  相似文献
