“…Although such scenarios may not be relevant in the case of winter migrating cyprinids, we still simulated these scenarios, since they occur in other systems. They would, for example, correspond to a summer feeding migration, such as found for roach in Norway (L'Abée‐Lund and Vøllestad 1987) or a short stay in a stopover site as commonly found among migrating birds (Prop et al 2003). The use of the seasonal forcing in the model is adapted to an ecosystem with poikilothermous organisms, but can be changed, relatively easily, to fit ecosystems that include homeothermous animals, e.g.…”

Migration is a widespread phenomenon in many ecosystems. Most often, studies on migration have focused on how migration strategies are dependent on ecological parameters, but little attention has been paid to the top-down effect of migration on ecosystem processes. Cyprinid fish in many European lakes undergo partial migration, where a part of the population leaves the lake and enters streams for the winter. In this study, we model the effect of partial migration by fish on lower trophic levels in a lake ecosystem. Our results suggest that spring phyto-and zooplankton dynamics, including occurrences of clear-water phases, can be related to the timing and magnitude of partial migration of planktivorous fish. From our results we conclude that partial migration can influence the dynamics of lower trophic levels in the ecosystem. Furthermore, we hypothesize that partial migration may affect the stability of alternative stable states and transitions between them.

“…The tendency to return to the same spawning ground is also known for other cyprinids including dace, roach and asp and is characterized by a return migration to natal and hatching areas (reproductive homing)(Mann, 1974; Whelan, 1983; Diamond, 1985; L’Abée‐Lund & Vøllestad, 1985, 1987; Fredrich, 2003). The spawning on different spawning grounds in the course of one spawning period indicates a reduced spawning ground fidelity [Fig.…”

Out of 52 chub Leuciscus cephalus tagged with internal radio‐transmitters, 46 migrated to spawning grounds in the River Spree, Germany. All chub started their first spawning migration on 21–22 May in both years of study, 1995 and 1996. They arrived at three different spawning grounds within a day and left after 1 to 6 days to return to their original sites. On 17 and 18 June 1995 and 1996 chub started their second spawning migration with the same pattern as the first. About 60% of all migrating chub moved between 1 and 13 km upstream to the nearest spawning ground. Some exceptions were observed: a few chub did not use the nearest spawning ground, some chub used different spawning grounds at first and second spawning or moved downstream to a spawning ground. Spawning grounds were characterized by 0·4 m s−1 current velocity, shallow depth (0·1–0·8 m) and a stony bottom, where most eggs adhered.

“…There has been an increase in the number of studies on migratory behaviour of potamodromous, cyprinid fish such as barbel ( Barbus barbus L.) (Baras, 1995, 1996; Lucas and Batley, 1996; Lucas and Frear, 1997), dace ( Leuciscus leuciscus L.) (Clough and Beaumont, 1998; Clough et al., 1999, 2000), chub ( Leuciscus cephalus L.) (Fredrich et al., 2003), roach ( Rutilus rutilus L.) (L'Abée‐Lund and Vøllestad, 1987; Baade and Fredrich, 1998), bream ( Abramis brama L.) (Poddubnyj, 1971; Caffrey et al., 1996) and nase ( Chondrostoma nasus L.) (Huber and Kirchhofer, 1998) in smaller rivers and reservoirs. However, studies on migration in large free‐flowing rivers are rare.…”

Summary The migratory behaviour, habitat use, home range and temporal and spatial variability of migrations of the potamodromous asp (Aspius aspius L.) in the large Elbe River, Germany, were studied in the years 1997–2000. Fifty‐three asp were tagged with surgically implanted radio transmitters and individually hand‐tracked usually once per week for about 1 year; 50% of the asp exclusively inhabited the main channel, 22% moved for short visits into other habitats and 24% changed between winter habitats in a harbour or oxbow and summer habitats in the main channel where they spawned in late March/April. The migratory behaviour of asp was highly variable; 34 asp observed for more than 1 year lived in home ranges of 1 to >100 stream kilometres (skm) mostly near their capture site. Longest observed migration from summer habitat in the Tidal Elbe back to the spawning ground in the Middle Elbe was 166 skm. After the spawning period or the spawning period thereafter, nine of these 34 fish left their home ranges for a long downstream migration without returning during the observation period. From these results we conclude that populations of rheophilic, potamodromous fish use a surprisingly long river section and that weirs have a strong impact on migration patterns and, ultimately, on population dynamics of these species.
