“…We found highly variable social behaviour of our carp population in the wild over the course of a full year. The carp aggregated in somewhat deeper zones in wintertime in agreement with previous natural history knowledge of the species (Armstrong et al, 2016; Bajer et al, 2011; Bauer & Schlott, 2004; Gusar, 1989; Johnsen & Hasler, 1977; Penne & Pierce, 2008; Taylor et al, 2012), however, these zones did not encompass the deepest points of the lake. Previous work in other systems with low resolution telemetry has reported carp were largely sedentary during the wintertime with only localized activity (Bauer & Schlott, 2004; Johnsen & Hasler, 1977; Jurajda et al, 2016; Penne & Pierce, 2008), in stark contrast to the high levels of daytime activity we observed during winter in Kleiner Döllnsee.…”

“…Carp are also known to be a social species, frequently found in groups (Bajer et al, 2011; Johnsen & Hasler, 1977; Osborne, Ling, Hicks, & Tempero, 2009), and can learn by social facilitation (Zion, Barki, Grinshpon, Rosenfeld, & Karplus, 2007). Carp are generally thought to occupy littoral habitats during the spring and summer and move to deeper waters to overwinter in larger groups (Armstrong et al, 2016; Johnsen & Hasler, 1977; Jones & Stuart, 2009; Penne & Pierce, 2008). Carp are also known to show marked diurnal behavioural patterns in the spring and summer months.…”

Animals are expected to adjust their social behaviour to cope with challenges in their environment. Therefore, for fish populations, in temperate regions with seasonal and daily environmental oscillations, characteristic rhythms of social relationships should be pronounced. To date, most research concerning fish social networks and biorhythms has occurred in artificial laboratory environments or over confined temporal scales of days to weeks. By contrast, little is known about the social networks of wild, freely roaming fish, including how seasonal and diurnal rhythms modulate social networks over the course of a full year. The advent of high-resolution acoustic telemetry enables us to quantify detailed social interactions in the wild over time-scales sufficient to examine seasonal rhythms at whole-ecosystems scales. Our objective was to explore the rhythms of social interactions in a social fish population at various time-scales over one full year in the wild by examining high-resolution snapshots of dynamic social network. To that end, we tracked the behaviour of 36 adult common carp, Cyprinus carpio, in a 25 ha lake and constructed temporal social networks among individuals across various time-scales, where social interactions were defined by proximity. We compared the network structure to a temporally shuffled null model to examine the importance of social attraction, and checked for persistent characteristic groups (“friendships”) over time. The clustering within the carp social network tended to be more pronounced during daytime than nighttime throughout the year. Social attraction, particularly during daytime, was a key driver for interactions. Shoaling behavior substantially increased during daytime in the wintertime, whereas in summer carp interacted less frequently, but the interaction duration increased. Characteristic groups were more common in the summer months and during nighttime, where the social memory of carp lasted up to two weeks. We conclude that social relationships of carp change diurnally and seasonally. These patterns were likely driven by predator avoidance, seasonal shifts in lake temperature, visibility, forage availability and the presence of anoxic zones. The techniques we employed can be applied generally to high-resolution biotelemetry data to reveal social structures across other fish species at ecologically realistic scales.
