First-year overwinter mortality in Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis L.)
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 five lakes were used as input data. After 1000 simulation runs, the total extinction of a cohort in the lakes studied was never predicted. Mortality rates of more than 0.5 were only predicted in two of the five lakes, and rates of more than 0.3 in these two lakes were predicted in approximately 10'1'" of all cases. For two consecutive winters differing in duration. the length-frequency distri butions of 0+ perch in the autumn and following spring were compared by a graphical method. No significant size-dependent mortality of smaller individuals could be detected in any of the populations studied. Simu lated spring length-frequencies were derived from observed autumn length distributions by the same model that was used for the stochastic simulation. These simulated and the empirical spring length-frequency distributions

متن کاملOverwinter changes in mass and lipid content of Perca fluviatilis and Gymnocephalus cernuus
The body condition, lipid reserves and mortality of 0 and 1 year-old perch Perca fluviatilis and ruffe Gymnocephalus cernuus, sampled during the winter in Lake Constance, Germany, were compared. Length-frequency analyses did not provide evidence for overwinter mortality in either species. The fresh and dry mass of perch as well as their lipid contents decreased during winter, while ruffe were h...
متن کاملDomestication drive the changes of immune and digestive system of Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis)
Domestication has altered a variety of traits within the Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis), including phenotypic, physiological and behavioral traits of Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis). Little is known, however, about the genetic changes between domesticated and wild Eurasian perch. In this study, we assembled a high-quality de novo reference transcriptome and identified differentially expr...

Competition for food between Eurasian perch(Perca fluviatilis L.) and ruffe(Gymnocephaluscernuus [L.]) over different substrate types
Food consumption by Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis L.) and ruffe (Gymnocephalus cernuus [L.]) was studied in single and mixedspecies treatments in the laboratory, where alternative food resources, chironomids and zooplankton, were offered simultaneously. The effects of structural complexity, which was represented by substrate grain size, and of feeding level on food consumption were analysed...
