Letter to the Editor regarding "Ovarian fluid plays an essential role in attachment of Eurasian perch, Perca fluviatilis eggs".
Eggs of the Eurasian perch, Perca fluviatilis, are strongly attached to each other to form 0.5-5.5m long and 1-6 cm wide floating jelly strands or ribbons. The processes involved in the initiation of egg attachment were investigated in the present study. Eggs are released together with small amounts of ovarian fluid. When the eggs come in contact with water, a fibrous jelly-like structure is fo...
متن کاملFirst-year overwinter mortality in Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis L.)
The importance of overwinter mortality of 0+ perch (Perm fluviatilis L.) in central European lakes was estimated using a stochastic simulation model. The probability of overwinter mortality of a perch co hort was calculated by using a model developed for yellow perch (P. flavescens Mitchill). Winter duration from a long-term data set and the length of perch at the end of the first year from fi...
متن کاملSperm characteristics in perch Perca fluviatilis L
Sperm production is a crucial factor for the potential reproductive success of males in many species (Nakatsuru & Kramer, 1982). Especially under strong sperm competition, higher sperm numbers in the ejaculates are likely to increase a male’s chance of fertilization (Parker et al., 1996). But sperm production is limited by physiological constraints, e.g. by testis size, which often depends on t...
متن کاملDoes boldness explain vulnerability to angling in Eurasian perch Perca fluviatilis?
Consistent individual differences (CIDs) in behavior are of interest to both basic and applied research, because any selection acting on them could induce evolution of animal behavior. It has been suggested that CIDs in the behavior of fish might explain individual differences in vulnerability to fishing. If so, fishing could impose selection on fish behavior. In this study, we assessed boldnes...
