“…For the larvae, the optimum temperature lies between 15°C (Kamler et al, 1998;Penáz, 1974ain Schiemer et al, 2003 on the Danube) and 25°C (Keckeis et al, 2001;Schiemer et al, 2004). The maximum tolerated is on the order of 28°C (Penáz, 1974ain Schiemer et al, 2003 on the Danube; Schiemer et al, 2003;Spurny et al, 2004 in Wolnicki andGorni, 1994), a datum found in two articles (Wolnicki and Gorni, 1994;Schiemer et al, 2003). The larvae also appears to tolerate temperatures up to 10°C (Schiemer et al, 2004).…”

“…Herzig and Winkler (1986) established an equation linking the period of incubation (D in days, 50% of hatches) to temperature (T in°C): D = 1258/(T -2.62) 1.994 or, 23.1 days at 10°C and 5.8 days at 17°C, the range of validity of the equation. For the larvae, the optimum temperature lies between 15°C (Kamler et al, 1998;Penáz, 1974ain Schiemer et al, 2003 on the Danube) and 25°C (Keckeis et al, 2001;Schiemer et al, 2004).

“…In view of fishing results on the Rhône, Ginot et al (1996) establish optimum temperatures for nase juveniles between 7°C and 27°C. It seems more realistic to put these temperatures within a more limited range, comparable to that for the embryo, between 15°C and 25°C (Kamler et al, 1998;Penáz, 1974bin Schiemer et al, 2003Teletchea et al, 2009b). Bruslé and Quignard (2001) are the only authors to define thermal tolerance thresholds for the adult: they consider that the range of temperatures within which the adult feeds is between 4°C and 24°C.…”

The effects of industrial cooling water on fish communities were widely debated at the end of the seventies, when large thermal power plants were being developed. This led to numerous research programs on thermal tolerance in fish. The recent warming climatic period and especially the 2003 heat wave have brought thermal biology back to center stage. The work presented here has consisted in analyzing historical and contemporary literature to update basic knowledge on thermal tolerances of 19 riverine fish species. These data were then validated and completed by European fish specialists. We finally proposed a synthesis, based on more than 300 references, which details thermal tolerances for the entire life cycle: reproduction, embryonic, larval, juvenile and adult life stages. This updated material is of great importance to an understanding of the trends observed in fish communities or for forecasting future behavior in climate change scenarios. RÉSUMÉSynthèse des tolérances thermiques des espèces de poissons communes des rivières et fleuves de plaine de l'ouest européen L'effet de l'élévation de température des cours d'eau a été largement débattu à la fin des années 70 qui ont connu le développement des centrales thermiques de grande puissance. Ces études ont généré alors de nombreux programmes de recherche sur la tolérance thermique des poissons, dont les résultats sont parfois oubliés ou difficiles à rassembler. Le réchauffement climatique actuel et en particulier l'épisode caniculaire de 2003 a mis de nouveau ce thème sur le devant de la scène. Le travail de synthèse présenté a consisté à analyser des données historiques et contemporaines de la littérature, afin de mettre à jour les connaissances de base sur les tolérances thermiques de 19 espèces de poissons d'eau douce. Cette synthèse a ensuite été validée et complétée par des spécialistes européens. Elle s'est appuyée sur plus de 300 références qui détaillent les tolérances thermiques de chacun des stades du cycle de vie des espèces étudiées : reproduction et stades embryonnaire, larvaire, juvénile et adulte. Cette mise à jour est essentielle pour comprendre les tendances d'évolution déjà constatées des communautés de poissons et prévoir les futures évolutions en fonction de différents scénarios de changement climatique.

“…It is therefore implausible that invasive cyprinids are the cause for the differences in DD between the shores. Gravel bars are generally considered as most suitable for the early life stages of most riverine (rheophilic) species (Schiemer & Spindler, 1989;Schiemer et al, 2002). As an example, it was shown for the rheophilic nase carp Chondrostoma nasus, as an indicator species for riverine fishes, that nearnatural shores provide substantially more suitable larval habitats than stabilized shores (Lechner et al, 2013).…”

The drift of early life stages of Percidae and Gobiidae (Pisces: Teleostei) in a free-flowing section of the Austrian Danube

The drift of early development stages is an essential element of dispersal in many fish species. It is caused by a multitude of factors and is thus highly specific for each taxon and developmental stage. In this paper, we examined the drift of free embryos, larvae, and juveniles of percids and gobiids in a freeflowing stretch of the Austrian Danube. We assessed the drift density (DD) at different distances from the shore, described seasonal and diel patterns, and how size of drifting fish changed throughout the season. The seasonal patterns as well as the DDs were highly specific for each genus, while the diel patterns and changes in size of drifting fishes differed primarily at family level. In addition, we compared two opposed shorelines-a near-natural gravel bar and a rip-rap stabilized shore. The shores differed significantly and on both shores the DD of gobies was higher compared to percids. Among the Gobiidae, the invasive Neogobius species clearly dominated (99% of total gobiid catch) over the native tubenose goby Proterorhinus semilunaris. Percid DD was substantially higher on the near-natural shore, with Zingel and Sander as the most abundant genera.

“…Current velocity is a major factor for the distribution of fish larvae in rivers. Highest abundances of young fish typically occur in low-flowing inshore areas that offer average flow velocities lower than their maximal sustainable swimming performance (Schiemer et al 2002). In this study, we cover flow conditions under, near, and over this critical flow velocity (v crit ).…”

Abstract:The dispersal of fish larvae in rivers might result from water movement but also from larval behaviour. Although potentially crucial for dispersion, knowledge of the role of behaviour is still fragmentary. This study intends to contribute to the question of how riverine fish larvae drift or move. All dispersal-relevant movement patterns of larvae of a characteristic rheophilic species were analyzed based on the parameters (i) swimming activity, (ii) direction of movement, and (iii) the orientation towards the current vector. Experiments were conducted in a novel flume mesocosm at three different flow scenarios covering the current velocity range of natural habitats. Mean current velocities in these scenarios were under, near, and over the "critical current velocity", above which fish larvae are not able to constantly hold their position in the water column. Three consecutive larval stages were tested to account for possible ontogenetic shifts in movement behaviour, both during the day and at night. Our results strongly suggest that the assumption of mainly passively drifting larvae has to be refused; in total, 92.6% of all observed movement events were characterized by swimming activity and directed orientation, whereas only 7.4% could be assigned to passive drift. During downstream movement, a significant portion of movement events (57.1%) was attributed to larvae that orientated in an upstream direction and performed active swimming movements.Résumé : La dispersion des larves de poisson dans les rivières peut être le résultat du mouvement de l'eau, mais également du comportement des larves. Les connaissances sur le rôle du comportement demeurent fragmentaires, malgré l'importance potentiellement cruciale de ce dernier pour la dispersion. L'étude s'intéresse à savoir comment les larves de poissons de rivière dérivent ou se déplacent. Tous les motifs de déplacement pertinents pour la dispersion des larves d'une espèce rhéophile caractéristique ont été analysés en fonction des paramètres suivants : (i) l'activité natatoire, (ii) la direction des déplacements et (iii) l'orientation par rapport au vecteur de courant. Des expériences ont été menées dans un mésocosme en canal novateur pour trois scénarios d'écoulement différents couvrant la fourchette de vitesses du courant dans les habitats naturels. Les vitesses moyennes du courant dans ces scénarios étaient inférieures, semblables ou supérieures à la « vitesse critique du courant » au-delà de laquelle les larves de poisson ne peuvent maintenir constamment leur position dans la colonne d'eau. Trois étapes larvaires consécutives ont été étudiées pour tenir compte de possibles changements ontogéniques du comportement de déplacement, tant durant le jour que la nuit. Nos résultats donnent fortement à penser que l'hypothèse des larves dérivant principalement de manière passive doit être rejetée; au total, 92,6 % de tous les évènements de déplacement observés étaient caractérisés par une activité natatoire et une orientation dirigée, alors que seuls 7,4 % de ces...
