Habitat use by the fish assemblages of two chalk streams
Patterns of habitat use by fish assemblages in two chalk streams in southern England were examined to identify species preferences with respect to major habitat gradients. Both study sites, although differing in some physical habitat characteristics, mainly channel width, water temperature and instream cover, could be arranged similarly along a continuum extending from erosional to depositional...
متن کاملEstimation of Fish Biomass Using Environmental DNA
Environmental DNA (eDNA) from aquatic vertebrates has recently been used to estimate the presence of a species. We hypothesized that fish release DNA into the water at a rate commensurate with their biomass. Thus, the concentration of eDNA of a target species may be used to estimate the species biomass. We developed an eDNA method to estimate the biomass of common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) usin...
متن کاملBiomass spectra in benthic fish assemblages in the Benguela System
B~ornass spectra in the different benthic fish assemblages at depths between 100 and 800 m off the coast of Namibia were studied over a p e r ~ o d of 3 yr These assemblages were located in areas spanning active upwelling centres on the shelf and zones of lower productiv~ty on the lower slope. The slopes of the curves for the normallzed size distributions were related to zonal productivity and ...
متن کاملUse of Droplet Digital PCR for Estimation of Fish Abundance and Biomass in Environmental DNA Surveys
An environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis method has been recently developed to estimate the distribution of aquatic animals by quantifying the number of target DNA copies with quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). A new quantitative PCR technology, droplet digital PCR (ddPCR), partitions PCR reactions into thousands of droplets and detects the amplification in each droplet, thereby allowing direct qua...
متن کاملFish assemblages as influenced by environmental factors in Taleghan River (the Caspian Sea basin, Alborz Province, Iran)
The relationship between some habitat factors and fish assemblage was analyzed in the Taleghan River, Alborz Province, Iran. Fish specimens from thirty-three sites were sampled by electrofishing device in October 2014. The habitat parameters, including elevation (m), water depth (cm), river width (m), river slope (%), current velocity (m.s-1), number of large stone (> 15 cm), average stone diam...
