SUMMARY. 1. Brown trout ( Salmo trutta) life history and habitat use were studied in two Norwegian rivers: the Vosso river system, western Norway, and the Søre Osa, eastern Norway.
2. Age-groups were partly segregated in feeding habitats, the youngest fish living mainly in running water and in the littoral zone of lakes, the older fish also exploiting pelagic waters and deeper epibenthic habitats. In a population with free access to and from the sea, some individuals smoltified and became sea-run migrants, performing yearly migrations to the coastal sea, whereas others stayed as freshwater residents throughout their entire life span.
3. Within local populations, females were larger and less variable in size than males. This was partly because females matured at an older age than males, partly because the sexes tended to exploit feeding habitats with different food and growth Conditions. Within age-groups, females were more pelagic and migrated more than males, whereas males were more confined to running water and epibenthic areas than females. In the pelagic zone, males were more abundant in near-surface water, and females more abundant in deeper areas. When exploiting the same feeding areas, the two sexes grew at the same rate. There therefore appears to be a connection between feeding habitat and the reproductive ecology of brown trout. 相似文献

1. Air temperature will probably have pronounced effects on the composition of plankton communities in northern lake ecosystems, either via indirect effects on the export of essential elements from catchments or through direct effects of water temperature and the ice‐free period on the behaviour of planktonic organisms. 2. We assessed the role of temperature by comparing planktonic communities in 15 lakes along a 6 °C air temperature gradient in subarctic Sweden. 3. We found that the biomass of phytoplankton, bacterioplankton and the total planktonic biomass were positively related to air temperature, probably as a result of climatic controls on the export of nitrogen from the catchment (which affects phytoplankton biomass) and dissolved organic carbon (affecting bacterioplankton biomass). 4. The structure of the zooplankton community, and top down effects on phytoplankton, were apparently not related to temperature but mainly to trophic interactions ultimately dependent on the presence of fish in the lakes. 5. Our results suggest that air temperature regimes and long‐term warming can have strong effects on the planktonic biomass in high latitude lakes. Effects of temperature on the structure of the planktonic community might be less evident unless warming permits the invasion of fish into previous fishless lakes. 相似文献

1. Upstream and downstream migrating anadromous brown trout Salmo trutta were monitored daily in fish traps in the River Imsa in south-western Norway for 24 years, from 1976 to 1999. One-third of the fish descended to sea during spring (February–June) and two-thirds during autumn (September–January).
2. In spring, high water temperature appeared to influence the downstream descent. Large brown trout (> 30 cm, chiefly two or more sea sojourns) descended earlier and appeared less dependent on high water temperature than smaller and younger fish. The spring water flow was generally low and of little importance for the descent.
3. In autumn, the daily number of descending brown trout correlated positively with flow and negatively with water temperature.
4. Brown trout ascended from the sea between April and December, but more than 70% ascended between August and October. The number of ascending trout increased significantly with both decreasing temperature and flow during the autumn. This response to flow appeared to be the result of the autumn discharge which is generally high and most fish ascended at an intermediate flow of 7.5–10 m3 s−1 (which is low for the season).
5. In a river like the Imsa with low spring and high autumn flows, water temperature appears to be the main environmental factor influencing the timing and rate of spring descent, while both water temperature and flow seemed to influence the timing and rate of the autumn descent and ascent. These relationships make sea trout migrations susceptible to variation in climate and human impacts of the flow regime in rivers. 相似文献

Ecological polymorphism in Arctic charr 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Arctic charr, Salvelinus alpinus (L.), commonly exhibits two coexisting morphotypes, dwarf and normal charr, which are characterized by differences in adult body size and colouration. We tested whether or not the morphotypic differences were genetically determined in rearing experiments with offspring of the two morphs and of their crosses. The experiments suggest that this ecological polymorphism in Arctic charr is largely environmentally determined. When reared under similar conditions, offspring of each of the two morphs differed little in size at the same age, and they had the same early developmental rate and maturation pattern. Moreover, the presence of parr marks along the flanks of the fish, one characteristic of dwarf charr, depended on body size and not on parental morph. Genetic differences between the morphs were suggested for growth rate during the second year of life, and for jaw morphology. Comparisons between charr life histories in captivity and in the wild suggest that ecological polymorphism in Arctic charr is chiefly a result of variation in growth conditions between different habitats. 相似文献
