ENVIRONMENTAL FLOW ENHANCES NATIVE FISH SPAWNING AND RECRUITMENT IN THE MURRAY RIVER, AUSTRALIAy
Environmental flows aim to mimic components of a river’s natural flow variability, including the magnitude, frequency, timing, duration, rate of change and the predictability of flow events. Aspects of the natural flow regime are thought to be linked to critical components of the life history strategies of many riverine fishes, including spawning and recruitment. In the Murray River, Australia,...

Anzali International Wetland located on the southwestern shore of the Caspian Sea possess a strategic role in establishing the ecological balance between animals and birds owing to its unique features. The wetland acts as a natural reproduction and rehabilitation ground for several groups the Caspian Sea fishes. It also serves as a habitat and spawning ground for the Caspian Sea migratory fish ...
متن کاملFish Larvae and the Management of Regulated Rivers
Alterations to the natural hydrologic regime in regulated rivers can disrupt cues that initiate the maturation and spawning of riverine fish, or they can change the conditions which are suitable for the recruitment of larvae into juvenile populations. Observations of fish larvae have the potential to provide insights into the effects of flow regulation, showing whether it has had a greater impa...
متن کاملManagement adaptation of invertebrate fisheries to an extreme marine heat wave event at a global warming hot spot
An extreme marine heat wave which affected 2000 km of the midwest coast of Australia occurred in the 2010/11 austral summer, with sea-surface temperature (SST) anomalies of 2-5°C above normal climatology. The heat wave was influenced by a strong Leeuwin Current during an extreme La Niña event at a global warming hot spot in the Indian Ocean. This event had a significant effect on the marine eco...
متن کاملSpatially-Resolved Influence of Temperature and Salinity on Stock and Recruitment Variability of Commercially Important Fishes in the North Sea
Understanding of the processes affecting recruitment of commercially important fish species is one of the major challenges in fisheries science. Towards this aim, we investigated the relation between North Sea hydrography (temperature and salinity) and fish stock variables (recruitment, spawning stock biomass and pre-recruitment survival index) for 9 commercially important fishes using spatiall...
