چکیده
Total length (L(T)) (range 24-1000 mm; mean ±S.E. = 170.21 ± 0.36 mm) and mass (W) (range 0.10-9590 g; mean ±S.E. = 76.03 ± 0.87 g) of 36,460 specimens of marble trout Salmo marmoratus were used to compute a standard mass (W(s)) equation for this species by means of the empirical percentile (EmP) method. The EmP W(s) equation calculated was: log(10) W(s) = -5.208 + 3.202 log(10) L(T) - 0.046 (log(10) L(T))(2) (L(T) range 90-570 mm) and it is valid throughout the species' area of distribution across Europe.

Morphological differences in the skin of marble trout Salmo marmoratus and of brown trout Salmo trutta.
Despite being genetically very closely related, the marble trout Salmo marmoratus and the brown trout Salmo trutta exhibit marked phenotypic differences, particularly with regard to skin pigmentation. Histological analysis of skin from the head and gill cover of differently aged individuals of the two species was carried out in order to characterize differences in skin structure. The basic stru...
متن کاملExtreme genetic differentiation among the remnant populations of marble trout (Salmo marmoratus) in Slovenia.
Populations of the marble trout (Salmo marmoratus) have declined critically due to introgression by brown trout (Salmo trutta) strains. In order to define strategies for long-term conservation, we examined the genetic structure of the 8 known pure populations using 15 microsatellite loci. The analyses reveal extraordinarily strong genetic differentiation among populations separated by < 15 km, ...
متن کاملIndividual growth and its implications for the recruitment dynamics of streamdwelling marble trout (Salmo marmoratus)
The role of density-dependent individual growth in the recruitment dynamics of fish populations has rarely been analysed in a quantitative framework. Variations of mean size of juveniles in response to changes in population densities have frequently been observed in salmonids and it has been shown that body-size differences at the juvenile stage can persist through the sub-adult and adult stage...
متن کاملDetection of density-dependent growth at two spatial scales in marble trout (Salmo marmoratus) populations
Density-dependent body growth has often been observed in freshwater salmonid populations. Several studies suggest this compensatory pattern as a potential mechanism of population regulation. The choice of the spatial scale is important for the detection of densitydependent growth, as study areas need to be of the appropriate size to capture the density of conspecifics actually experienced by in...
متن کاملGenetic and life-history consequences of extreme climate events.
Climate change is predicted to increase the frequency and intensity of extreme climate events. Tests on empirical data of theory-based predictions on the consequences of extreme climate events are thus necessary to understand the adaptive potential of species and the overarching risks associated with all aspects of climate change. We tested predictions on the genetic and life-history consequenc...
