Fish assemblages and habitat ecology of River Pinder in central Himalaya, India
Snow-fed river Pinder -a tributary of river Alaknanda in central Himalaya was explored for fish assemblages and habitat specificity. Altogether 27 fish species were reported from three orders, four families and nine genera. Cypriniformes order was dominating followed by Siluriformes and Salmoniformes. Shannon-Weiner diversity index (3.09 to 4.10) and Simpson index of diversity (0.81 to 0.92) of...

متن کاملFish Habitat Optimization to Prioritize River Restoration Decisions
This paper examines and ranks restoration alternatives for improving fish habitat by evaluating tradeoffs between fish production and restoration costs. Optimization modelling is used to maximize out‐migrating coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) from a natal stream and is applied as a case study in California’s Shasta River. Restoration activities that alter flow and water temperature conditions...
متن کاملModels of Fractal River Basins
Experimental analyses of river networks(1) have shown clear examples of behavior analogous to critical phenomena characterized by the absence of a single well-defined length scale reflected in a power-law behavior of various quantities. A fundamental question that arises from these observations is whether, in analogy with conventional critical phenomena, one may fruitfully classify this behavio...
متن کاملDynamic reorganization of river basins.
River networks evolve as migrating drainage divides reshape river basins and change network topology by capture of river channels. We demonstrate that a characteristic metric of river network geometry gauges the horizontal motion of drainage divides. Assessing this metric throughout a landscape maps the dynamic states of entire river networks, revealing diverse conditions: Drainage divides in t...
