“…In a study on juvenile fish movement, Pavlov et al (2008) concluded that micro-scale habitat heterogeneity, interacting with individual behavioural variability within fish populations, could affect the proportion of resident to migratory fish in a river. Hence, "rheoreaction", defined as active fish behaviour induced by the current (Pavlov et al 2010), refutes the implementation of passive particles as a proxy for fish larvae (Lechner et al 2014a;Schludermann et al 2012;Stoll and Beeck 2012). As individual-based models (IBM) and correlated random walk models (CRW), introduced by Fraenkel and Gunn (1940), gain acceptance in studies of larval dispersal in oceanic environments by coupling abiotic and biotic factors (Peck and Hufnagl 2012;Miller 2007;Werner et al 2001b), the implementation of larval orientation and navigation behaviour into these models substantially enhances assessment of the spatiotemporal linkages between spawning and nursery areas.…”

Recruitment of Chondrostoma nasus and similar fish species in rivers is related to spatiotemporal linkages between larval hatching and nursery habitats. Active swimming behaviour contradicts the assumption that passive particle tracing models can serve as a proxy for larval dispersal models. A racetrack flume with an inshore area of near-natural slope was created to observe individual larval trajectories. A new three-step, raster-based analysis was developed to distinguish four types of movement patterns: active upstream, active downstream, active-passive, and passive. Both larval developmental stage-specific and release site-specific occurrences of these movement patterns were experimentally found for nine flow velocity classes (≤0.225 m·s −1 ). These currentinduced movement patterns, and evaluated durations within them, were used to develop a biased and correlated random walk model that includes rheoreaction -a key behavioural response of fish to flow within rivers. The study introduces the concept and application of a rheoreaction-based correlated random walk model, which coupled with a 3D hydrodynamic model, allows prediction of the spatiotemporal effects of various river discharges, morphologies, and restoration scenarios on larval fish dispersal.Résumé : Le recrutement de Chondrostoma nasus et d'espèces de poissons semblables dans les rivières est relié à des liens spatiotemporels entre l'éclosion des larves et les habitats d'alevinage. Le comportement de nage active contredit l'hypothèse voulant que les modèles de suivi de particules passives puissent se substituer aux modèles de dispersion des larves. Un canal de nage ovale avec une zone côtière de pente quasi naturelle a été créé pour observer les trajectoires de larves individuelles. Une nouvelle analyse de mappage en trois étapes a été mise au point pour distinguer quatre types de déplacements, à savoir : actif vers l'amont, actif vers l'aval, actif-passif et passif. Des cas de ces types de déplacements tant à l'étape du développement des larves que pour des sites de lâcher précis ont été observés expérimentalement pour neuf catégories de vitesses d'écoulement (≤0,225 m·s -1 ). Ces motifs de déplacement induits par le courant et leurs durées évaluées ont été utilisés pour développer un modèle de parcours aléatoire biaisé et corrélé qui comprend la rhéoréaction, une réaction comportementale clé des poissons à l'écoulement dans les rivières. L'étude introduit le concept et l'application d'un modèle de parcours aléatoire corrélé basé sur la rhéoréaction qui, jumelé à un modèle hydrodynamique en 3D, permet de prédire les effets spatiotemporels de différents débits, morphologies et scénarios de restauration de rivière sur la dispersion des larves de poisson.

“…Rheoreaction as a key behaviour for larval dispersal (Pavlov et al, 2010) was investigated for an integrative restoration project on the river Danube by means of a recently developed and validated RCRW model. Analytical methods for assessing the complex spatio‐temporal processes of numerical larval drift and dispersal were developed and presented.…”

“…Rheoreaction, defined as the fish's behaviour induced by the current (Pavlov, Kostin, Zvezdin, & Ponomareva, 2010), is known to be a driving factor for larval dispersal in rivers. Behavioural aspects of fish larvae were studied recently for riverine (Humphries & King, 2003; Lechner et al, 2014; Schludermann, Tritthart, Humphries, & Keckeis, 2012; Zens, Glas, Tritthart, Habersack, & Keckeis, 2018) and marine YOY species (Leis, 2006; Leis & Carson‐Ewart, 1997), showing that they considerably effect habitat connectivity.…”

Connectivity of nurseries and spawning habitats for young of the year life stage is essential for successful recruitment of fish populations and therefore provides a key indicator for river restoration measures. Models for dispersal offer the potential to draw conclusions regarding restoration scenarios and to fill knowledge gaps about possible implications for fish populations. A newly developed rheoreaction‐based correlated random walk model (RCRW), in combination with a three‐dimensional numerical model and a non‐steady‐state particle tracing model, was applied for nase carp larvae (Chondrostoma nasus) before and after a restoration project on the river Danube, Austria. Spatio‐temporal patterns of dispersal of virtual larvae, attached with rheoreactive behaviour, were analysed within both scenarios. In comparison to the heavily modified river reach, the restored reach enabled a greater amount of upstream movement from the release site and showed a generally higher variability of spatio‐temporal distribution patterns. In contrast, estimated total settlement of rheoreactive larvae was substantially higher for the situation prior to the restoration measure. By comparing model results with a previously field experiment it was found that model simulations including rheoreaction as a single behaviour for navigation could not explain the whole pattern of larval dispersal. Therefore it is highly recommended for future studies to develop larval dispersal models by considering other factors (i.e., behaviour, bio‐energetics and environmental factors) of existing and future individual‐based models, which could serve as a tool to analyse the effect of restoration measures for recruitment of riverine fish populations.

“…This nonrandom movement of lake and stream stickleback may be due to differences in the swimming behaviour of individuals in flowing water ('rheotactic response'). Rheotaxis can be positive (swimming upcurrent or seeking current) or negative (swimming down-current or seeking still water) (Lyon, 1904;Arnold, 1974;Montgomery et al, 1997;Pavlov et al, 2010). Examining the same lake-stream pair that showed biased dispersal, Jiang et al (2015) demonstrated that lake stickleback are more likely to move down-current (negative rheotaxis) compared to stream fish.…”

Sensory trait variation contributes to biased dispersal of threespine stickleback in flowing water

Gene flow is widely thought to homogenize spatially separate populations, eroding effects of divergent selection. The resulting theory of 'migration-selection balance' is predicated on a common assumption that all genotypes are equally prone to dispersal. If instead certain genotypes are disproportionately likely to disperse, then migration can actually promote population divergence. For example, previous work has shown that threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) differ in their propensity to move up- or downstream ('rheotactic response'), which may facilitate genetic divergence between adjoining lake and stream populations of stickleback. Here, we demonstrate that intraspecific variation in a sensory system (superficial neuromast lines) contributes to this variation in swimming behaviour in stickleback. First, we show that intact neuromasts are necessary for a typical rheotactic response. Next, we showed that there is heritable variation in the number of neuromasts and that stickleback with more neuromasts are more likely to move downstream. Variation in pectoral fin shape contributes to additional variation in rheotactic response. These results illustrate how within-population quantitative variation in sensory and locomotor traits can influence dispersal behaviour, thereby biasing dispersal between habitats and favouring population divergence.
