Catch per unit efforts and impacts of gears on fish abundance in an oxbow lake ecosystem in Eastern India
Background: Oxbow lakes are abundant in indigenous fishes, but they are subject to unsustainable fishing practices, potential overexploitation, and indiscriminate use of fine-meshed fishing gear. To quantify the catch per unit effort (CPUE) and impact of fishing gears on fish abundance, a survey was carried out in an oxbow lake in eastern India. Methods: The gear-wise CPUE for fish caught in...
متن کاملEffect of metalimnetic gradient on phytoplankton and zooplankton (Rotifera, Crustacea) communities in different trophic conditions
Theory predicts and recent study revealed that depth of the thermocline can strongly influence the nutrient availability and composition of plankton communities. We are focused on the effect of metalimnetic gradients on water chemistry and plankton communities in three stratified lakes with different trophic conditions. Vertical changes in water chemistry revealed significant increase of macroe...
متن کاملVertical Distribution of Zooplankton and Copepod Community Structure in the Straits of Malacca
Vertical distribution of zooplankton biomass and abundance, copepod taxonomic composition and species diversity were analyzed at eight stations during an oceanographic expedition along the Straits of Malacca. Samples were collected in vertical hauls (140 μm mesh using 45 cm diameter NORPAC net) from four depth strata. Zooplankton biomass was higher at 10-20 m depth in the central and southern p...
متن کاملVertical distribution of zooplankton in subalpine and alpine lakes: Ultraviolet radiation, fish predation, and the transparency-gradient hypothesis
The transparency-gradient hypothesis argues that ultraviolet radiation (UV) is a primary determinant of the vertical distribution of zooplankton in transparent lakes with fewer fish, while fish predation is the primary driver in less transparent lakes where fish are more abundant. We measured vertical profiles of UV, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR, essentially visible light used as a ...
متن کاملCharacteristics of the zooplankton community in the Okhotsk Sea in autumn: A comparison with the Oyashio region
Based on the vertical stratified zooplankton samples collected during the autumns (September–December) of 1996 to 1998, vertical distribution, biomass, and community structure of zooplankton and calanoid copepods in the southern Okhotsk Sea were evaluated and compared with those of the same period in the Oyashio region. In terms of fauna, zooplankton in the Okhotsk Sea are similar to that in th...
