Abstract:
Measurements of fertilization rates in free-spawning marine invertebrates have shown that reproductive success is related to both behavioural and environmental factors. Water depth has been suggested as being one such factor affecting fertilization success. In experimental spawnings of the sea star Coscinasterias muricata, fertilization rates decreased exponentially with distance from sperm source but were frequently greater than 20% at distances >10 m downstream. Current speed did not have a significant effect on fertilization rate over the range of velocities examined. Fertilization rates

Abstract:
Using individual tags combined with a fish fence operated at the mouth of Smith-Dorrien Creek, the primary spawning habitat for Lower Kananaskis Lake bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus), we approximated a complete census of the spawning population from 1996 to 2000 to assess whether timing of upstream and downstream spawning migrations varied with extrinsic and intrinsic factors. The timing of both upstream and downstream migrations varied with sex, previous spawning experience, density, and temperature. Inferred spawning duration based on the predicted upstream and downstream migration dates

Abstract:
Spawning movements of cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki) were evaluated using radiotelemetry in a montane river and a headwater tributary. The movements of 23 fish were monitored in spring 1991 and 1992. Fish moved upstream and downstream to spawning areas. These movements fell into two distinct patterns: in one, fish emigrated to tributaries and in the other they traveled to main-stem or side-channel spawning grounds. The pre- and post-spawning movements made by fish that spawned in tributaries were longer than those made by fish that spawned in the main-stem or side-channel areas. While s

Abstract:
We present a simulation model in which individual adult migrant American shad ( Alosa sapidissima ) ascend the Connecticut River and spawn, and survivors return to the marine environment. Our approach synthesizes bioenergetics, reproductive biology, and behavior to estimate the effects of migratory distance and delays incurred at dams on spawning success and survival. We quantified both the magnitude of effects and the consequences of uncertainty in the estimates of input variables. Behavior, physiology, and energetics strongly affected both the distribution of spawning effort and survival to

Mobile telemetry and a fixed telemetry system were used to record fish positions and to monitor 23 acoustically tagged individuals (17 females and six males) during the 2001 and 2002 reproductive seasons.

The area is subject to thermal and hydrological alterations due to three large water diversion projects and related auxiliary projects, including a project to heighten the Danjiangkou dam and two small downstream reservoirs.

Immediately after emergence from spawning gravels, fry of stream-type chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) populations from tributaries of the upper Fraser River, British Columbia, distribute themselves downstream from the spawning areas, throughout the natal stream, and into the Fraser River. We tested the hypothesis that this range in dispersal distances is caused by innate differences in nocturnal migratory tendency among individuals. Using an experimental stream channel, we found repeatable differences in downstream movement behaviour among newly emerged chinook fry. Fish that moved d

Abstract Plains stream fishes in North America, including flathead chub Platygobio gracilis, are negatively affected by stream-flow alterations and fragmentation, and limited information on egg type and reproductive strategy hinders their conservation.

Flathead chub eggs are relatively small at 2.3 mm mean diameter, have a greater yolk-to-egg volume ratio and thus

Also, a lack of adaptations to a specific habitat may be what prevents a group of individuals, arriving from an adjacent habitat, to successfully colonize an area where a previous subpopulation has been
