Predicting riverine fish production using empirical models and the metabolic theory of ecology
Fish production integrates many different measures of community performance, such as abundance, biomass, growth, and reproduction, into one valuable quantitative metric but requires resource intensive data for empirical estimation. While published empirical models and the metabolic theory of ecology (MTE) represent alternative methods to estimate fish production, few studies have focused on productivity models for stream fish assemblages. The goal of our study was to determine whether existing empirical models and elements of the metabolic theory of ecology can reliably estimate stream fish productivity. We used production estimates from the literature (n = 107) to parameterize models based on the metabolic theory of ecology and new estimates of stream fish production from North America (n = 78) to compare and validate all models. Using major axis regression, we determined that while all models had strongly correlated production estimates relative to the observed values (r2 range: [0.496, 0.815]), not all the models produced accurate estimates. The MTE model with the temperature component had a poorer predictive performance (RMSE = 0.502) relative to models based solely on allometric scaling (RMSE range: [0.299, 0.380]). We conclude that standard production models can generate relative estimates of production using general fish sample data, however, the accuracy and precision of the estimates can vary among the models. Our study highlights the need for productivity estimates for stream fish assemblages from different geographic regions, to test empirical models with novel datasets, and for further investigation of temperature effects on fish productivity.
期刊介绍:
Ecology of Freshwater Fish publishes original contributions on all aspects of fish ecology in freshwater environments, including lakes, reservoirs, rivers, and streams. Manuscripts involving ecologically-oriented studies of behavior, conservation, development, genetics, life history, physiology, and host-parasite interactions are welcomed. Studies involving population ecology and community ecology are also of interest, as are evolutionary approaches including studies of population biology, evolutionary ecology, behavioral ecology, and historical ecology. Papers addressing the life stages of anadromous and catadromous species in estuaries and inshore coastal zones are considered if they contribute to the general understanding of freshwater fish ecology. Theoretical and modeling studies are suitable if they generate testable hypotheses, as are those with implications for fisheries. Manuscripts presenting analyses of published data are considered if they produce novel conclusions or syntheses. The journal publishes articles, fresh perspectives, and reviews and, occasionally, the proceedings of conferences and symposia.
