Spatial distribution of littoral fish species in a large European lake, Lake Constance
The spatial distribution and patterns of habitat use of littoral fish species in Lake Constance were studied using electric fishing and trammel net sampling to assess fish abundance and biomass in three depth strata at six different sampling sites within the littoral zone. Distribution differences among depth strata were found to be often more pronounced than among different sampling sites. Juv...
متن کاملActivity and Diversity of Methanotrophs in a Littoral Wetland of an Eutrophic Boreal Freshwater Lake
Most of methane (CH4) emitted from lakes may be derived from their littoral wetlands. In the surface layers of wetlands, aerobic CH4 oxidizing bacteria, known as methanotrophs, consume a large part of the CH4 produced in deeper anoxic layers, having thus major atmospheric importance. However, the characteristics of the methanotroph community and its capacity to withstand environmental changes i...
متن کاملA comparison of littoral fish diversity and size in Otsego Lake in 1986 and 1998
Fish were collected from four sites on Otsego Lake on 3 and 4 August 98 to describe littoral populations and diversity and to make a comparison with a similar study conducted in 1986. A haul seine was used to catch the fish, which were marked, weighed, measured and released. The Peterson mark-recapture method was used to estimate abundance at the four sites. Margalefs diversity index was used t...
متن کاملInsular lake island biogeography: using lake metrics to predict diversity in littoral zone mollusk communities
Island biogeography theory can be used to explain patterns of species richness on various types of habitat islands, including freshwater lake systems. Mollusk production in these systems also has been linked to various water-chemistry variables, such as pH, alkalinity, hardness, and specific conductance. We examined how mollusk diversity patterns were related to geographical and limnological fa...
متن کاملStudying the spatiotemporal variation of the littoral fish community in a large prealpine lake, using self-organizing mapping
One of the most fundamental feature of freshwater systems is the spatiotemporal structure of their communities. In the present study, we used an artificial neural network model, i.e., self-organizing mapping, together with a likelihood ratio χ2 statistic for proportions to investigate the influence of each factor of a complex sampling scheme (i.e., site, year, month, and time of day) on the lit...
