Download or read book Migration of Freshwater Fishes written by Martyn Lucas and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent studies have increasingly demonstrated the widespread existence of spatio-temporal variations in the abundance and distribution of species of freshwater fishes, previously assumed not to move between habitats. These movements are often on a seasonal or ontogenetic basis, for spawning, feeding and refuge, and in many cases are fundamental for the successful completion of lifecycles. This important book provides a single source for a range of previously widely dispersed information on these movements of fish in fresh waters, covering potamodromous fishes as well as the more familiar diadromous species, worldwide. Contents include full descriptions of types of migration and spatial behaviour, the stimulus and capacity for fish to migrate, the effects of climate on patterns of migratory behaviour, a taxonomic analysis (mostly by family) of freshwater fish migration, methods for studying migration, and details of the impacts of man's activities on freshwater fish migration. Migration of Freshwater Fishes provides an excellent and comprehensive reference to which the river manager, biologist or student can now refer to obtain information, advice and current opinion on the migratory behaviour of most taxonomic groups of fishes occurring in fresh water. University libraries and aquatic research stations should also have copies of this essential reference book on their shelves. Well-known international authors. Of great commercial importance to fisheries and professional angling bodies. Draws together much new information in one place. Detailed review of world wide migratory behaviour for most groups of freshwater fishes. Pure and applied relevance, for academics, fisheries scientists, river managers and conservationists. This comprehensive book includes 67 tables and figures and over 1,400 references.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The migrations, distribution, and feeding of American shad, Alosa sapidissima (Wilson), were studied from February 1980 through January 1981 in the Columbia River Estuary, an important rearing zone for young-of-the-year shad. Sampling was performed with purse seine, beach seine, and otter trawl. Adult shad and large numbers of juveniles from the 1979 spawning (age group I) entered the estuary from the ocean in May 1980. Adults continued on their upstream migration while age group I juveniles appeared to congregate in the estuary, joining those (age group I) that had over-wintered there. Many young-of-the-year shad (age group 0) reached the estuary on their seaward migration in September 1980, during which time most of the age group I juveniles migrated back to the ocean. By January 1981, large numbers of young-of-the-year shad migrated to the ocean, although a few remained in the estuary. The stomachs of 26 adult shad and 503 juveniles were analyzed. Adults did not appear to feed during their upstream migration, but juvenile shad fed extensively. Diet varied with season, gear type, and salinity zone. Calanoid copepods were important throughout the year, but Corophium salmonis and Neomysis mercedis were important during fall, winter, and spring. Freshwater prey were consumed during summer and fall. The most important of these were Daphnia spp., Chironomidae larvae and pupae, and Trichoptera adults for shad feeding in shallow water near beaches.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Cont.) Only 6% of spawners originated from rivers other than the York, supporting the hypothesis that most American shad spawn in their natal river. Of remaining spawners, 79% originated from the Mattaponi River and 21% from the Pamunkey River. The results suggested that while most American shad home to their natal river there is less fidelity to individual tributaries, allowing subsidies to subpopulations with persistent recruitment failure. Otolith signatures were also used in mixed-stock analyses of immature migrants along the coast of Maine in the spring and Minas Basin in the summer. Mixed-stock compositions showed remarkably low diversity and were dominated by fish from the Shubenacadie and Hudson rivers, with an increasing proportion of Potomac River fish over time. In contrast to results from adult tagging studies, southern stocks were virtually absent. These data suggest ontogenetic shifts in migratory behavior. The thesis concludes with a report that water contributed 83% of Sr and 98% of Ba in the otoliths of a marine fish.
