These scenarios are expected to strongly impact temperature-dependent life-history traits of aquatic species, such as the embryonic stage of annual fishes inhabiting temporary freshwater wetlands. Here, we assessed the effects of different incubation temperatures (18, 24, 27 and 30°C) and exposure to heat waves (18–30°C for 6 h) on aspects of the embryonic development: mortality and trajectory (direct development or diapause entry) of two Neotropical species of annual fishes from high- (<i>Austrolebias nubium</i>) and low-altitude (<i>A. cyaneus</i>) areas. Temperatures of 30°C resulted in 100% embryo mortality in both species, and development trajectory differed between species across temperatures. Embryo mortality in the high-altitude species was higher at 27°C, while a higher number of embryos of the low-altitude species entered diapause II at 18°C. Embryo mortality and development trajectory after exposure to heat waves were similar between species. In terms of implications for climate change scenarios, temperatures above 27°C seem critical for the embryo survival of both species studied, although they seem capable to endure short-term events of heat waves. In summary, our results indicate that the persistence of populations of high-altitude annual fish species may be subject to higher threat under warming scenarios, since embryos from this species were more sensitive to increasing temperatures than the low-altitude species.</p>","PeriodicalId":11422,"journal":{"name":"Ecology of Freshwater Fish","volume":"32 4","pages":"864-873"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47223497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The seasonal changes in vertical thermal structure in lakes can affect the distribution of salmonids on seasonal and diel time scales as they search for, consume, and digest prey that also exploits the water column's distribution of food, temperature and light. Our goal was to analyse the vertical distribution of wild, native coastal cutthroat trout (<i>Oncorhynchus clarkii clarkii</i>) in Lake Washington on daily and seasonal time scales. This lake is stratified in the summer and isothermal in winter, allowing us to compare vertical movements between periods with and without thermal structure in water 50 m deep. We predicted that trout would be deeper in the water column during stratified months and shallower during isothermal months, and shallower at night than in the day. Overall, the trout showed these patterns in the depths and temperatures they occupied, tending to be within or below the thermocline in the summer but not in the coolest water available, and closer to the surface when the lake was isothermal. The trout were also closer to the surface at night and deeper during the day. The vertical range of these diel movements shifted with the seasons–deepest in October, as the thermocline deepened and weakened, and shallowest in January when the lake was isothermal. These seasonal and diel vertical distribution patterns by the trout optimise metabolism for growth, and facilitate feeding on planktivorous fishes that also show seasonal and diel vertical distribution changes.</p>","PeriodicalId":11422,"journal":{"name":"Ecology of Freshwater Fish","volume":"32 4","pages":"842-851"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42796314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Young-of-the-year fishes (YOY) must find suitable habitats to settle, feed and survive. However, very few in-depth studies are available about the food preferences of the young fishes during their first growing season. Here, we investigated the composition of planktonic assemblages and the YOY diet of three generalist fish species <i>Alburnus alburnus</i> (Linnaeus, 1758), <i>Squalius cephalus</i> (Linnaeus, 1758) and <i>Pseudorasbora parva</i> (Temminck &amp; Schlegel, 1846) from four floodplain sites of the French Upper Rhône River. More specifically, we studied their temporal and spatial variations in relation to five environmental variables: hydrology, dissolved oxygen, primary production, water temperature and conductivity. Stable flow conditions and the associated temperature and conductivity strongly structured the phytoplankton community in the floodplain channels, whereas water movements within channels and dissolved oxygen concentrations were significantly correlated to the zooplankton composition. A zooplankton density above ≈100 ind L<sup>−1</sup> allowed the initiation of a YOY diet mainly based upon zooplankton for the three fish species. When zooplankton densities were insufficient, all three species used phytoplankton as their main food resource. Finally, the diet overlaps between species, differed significantly between sites.

During daytime, point abundance sampling was applied to catch the fish, and environmental data were recorded at the sampling points (microhabitat features) and along the transects that crossed the sampling points (mesohabitat features). Variance partitioning revealed similar patterns in the size-classified fish data for the two streams. Microhabitat features had a greater explained variance than mesohabitat features. The majority of the mesohabitat influence emerged as variance shared with the microhabitat influence. The pure spatially explained variance proportion was lower than the variance explained purely by the environmental features (meso and micro together), and no temporally explained variance was found. Many species showed body size-related environmental associations. The results suggest that the different-scale habitat features act in a hierarchical way on the within-reach fish distribution. Meso-scale features may determine a great proportion of the micro-scale habitat variability and micro-scale conditions may directly affect how fish select places to stay as a function of both species identity and body size.

Accordingly, we used long-term data series (covering the period between 1980 and 2021) to assess how these changes have affected populations of an ecologically and economically important predatory fish, the pikeperch (<i>Sander lucioperca</i>), in the coastal waters of Finland in the northern Baltic Sea.

In the southern part of the study area (Archipelago Sea), density-dependent factors prevented the development of particularly strong year classes, despite the beneficial conditions of warming seawater and consecutive warm summers. Individual growth has increased in younger age groups, contributing to an upward trend in the spawning population biomass. We also uncovered a declining trend in the total mortality in the southern area, despite increased abundances of cormorants and seals, explained by reduced total fishing mortality.

Disentangling the relative role of density-dependent versus density-independent processes on population dynamics is often made difficult by the inability to control for abiotic or biotic factors, but long-term datasets are invaluable in this pursuit. We used a 14-year dataset from the Logan River, Utah, to assess long-term trends in abundance and evidence of density-dependent and density-independent effects on population dynamics of Paiute sculpin (<i>Cottus beldingii</i>) across six sites. Additionally, we evaluated the feeding ecology of sculpin over 4 years. Sculpin densities generally increased from upstream to downstream, and the annual per capita rate of increase was negatively and significantly correlated with sculpin density at four of six sites. We observed a negative relationship between total gut content and sculpin density but did not observe a negative relationship between relative condition and density. Sculpin displayed a generalist feeding strategy, and interannual differences in diet composition appeared to be influenced by interannual differences in flow, particularly years with higher magnitude flow. The observed spatial patterns in sculpin abundance throughout the watershed matched those of invasive brown trout (<i>Salmo trutta</i>), the top piscivore in the Logan River, and likely represent affinities for the suite of ecological conditions associated with downstream sections of the Logan River.
