چکیده مقاله:

 During the early stages of white fish, survival rate is a very effective parameter on future fry’s sustainability, especially when they are going to be released into the natural habitat for restocking. The aim of this study is to define relationships between morphological and functional traits and the survival rate of the European white fish fry (Coregonus lavaretus) when they were fed with different feeding regimes. One hundred and fifty newly hatched white fish fry stocked into nine rearing cages, under a flow-through rearing system, were distributed randomly in a natural pond, and nourished for twelve weeks with three kinds of food, the rotifer (Brachionus  plicatilis), a compound Salmonidae commercial diet and a mixture of 50% of each , all treated in triplicates. The backward method of regression procedure was used for statistical analysis.  Combinations of independent variables to multiple linear regression models were based on the changes in the R2 statistics and the F-value were produced by adding or deleting an independent variable. The five variable combinations (individual weight, length, total weight gain, total feeding rate, and feed efficiency) predicted the larval survival rate in multiple linear regression models and supported by partial correlation. This study revealed that length and weight bear negative signs whenever they appear in these statistical relations. Also the higher the feeding rate, the survival rate increases accordingly regardless of the treatment effect. Finally, in mixed feed, predicting the survival rate is easier and more practical since the only parameters remaining in the equation are the length and weight of the fry. Perhaps this finding is because of the fact that the co feeding (rotifer and compound) can better satisfy the nutritional needs of these larvae than each feed alone.

Fish length exclusively determines sexual maturation in the European whitefish Coregonus lavaretus species complex.

The probability that a fish matures at a certain age and length (the so-called probabilistic maturation reaction norm, PMRN) was analysed for a European whitefish Coregonus lavaretus species complex population living in the Austrian pre-alpine Lake Irrsee. Fish length was found to be the only relevant determinant of maturation probability, and females matured at slightly smaller sizes than males.

Temporal spawning divergence in European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus)

A critical step in ecological speciation is the development of reproductive isolation. The processes leading up to reproductive isolation are difficult to study since they often occur over very long time periods. Populations of European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) has gone through reticulate divergent evolution in many Scandinavian lakes during the last 10 000 years. Some populations even e...

Parallel and non-parallel morphological divergence among foraging specialists in European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus)

Parallel phenotypic evolution occurs when independent populations evolve similar traits in response to similar selective regimes. However, populations inhabiting similar environments also frequently show some phenotypic differences that result from non-parallel evolution. In this study, we quantified the relative importance of parallel evolution to similar foraging regimes and non-parallel lake...

Oral toxicity of the microcystin-containing cyanobacterium Planktothrix rubescens in European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus).

The microcystin-producing cyanobacterium Planktothrix is one of the most widespread genera amongst toxin producing cyanobacteria in European lakes. In particular, the metalimnic blooms of Planktothrix rubescens have been associated with growing problems in the professional freshwater fishery as a decrease in yearly yields in the important coregonids fishery often coincides with the appearance o...

Phenotype-environment association of the oxygen transport system in trimorphic European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) populations.

Replicated adaptive radiation events, typified by phenotypic divergence across resource axes, provide important insight into the eco-evolutionary dynamics that lead to the formation of new species. Here, we show that in trimorphic adaptive radiations of European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus), divergence of the oxygen transport system has occurred across the pelagic/littoral (shallow)-profunda...
