Seasonal and Spatial Dynamics of Gas Ebullition in a Temperate Water-Storage Reservoir

Gas ebullition of river impoundments plays an increasingly significant role, particularly in transporting methane CH4 from their sediments to the...

Optimal gillnet sampling design for the estimation of fish community indicators in heterogeneous freshwater ecosystems

Monitoring of biota in heterogeneous ecosystems requires sampling in different habitats and across environmental gradients. The resulting...

Fish community response to the longitudinal environmental gradient in Czech deep-valley reservoirs: Implications for ecological monitoring and management

Ecological quality assessment of non-natural water bodies is, in contrast to natural systems, less developed and requires determining biological...

Pelagic occurrence and diet of invasive round goby Neogobius melanostomus (Actinopterygii, Gobiidae) juveniles in deep well-mixed European reservoirs

Round goby is generally accepted to be a typical benthic dwelling fish species both in its native and invasive ranges. Nevertheless, mid-water night...

Fish behaviour in response to a midwater trawl footrope in temperate reservoirs

This study addresses fish behaviour at the mouth of a midwater trawl in two temperate reservoirs. Fish distribution and behaviour were monitored...

Species-specific gradients of juvenile fish density and size in pelagic areas of temperate reservoirs

Data from nine reservoirs in the Czech Republic were used to investigate density and size distribution patterns for dominant fish species of the...

Patterns in diel habitat use of fish covering the littoral and pelagic zones in a reservoir

We investigated diel habitat use of fish covering the littoral and pelagic zones of the Římov Reservoir (Czech Republic) and analyzed the influence...

Chaos and stability of age-0 fish assemblages in a temperate deep reservoir: unpredictable success and stable habitat use

Large year-to-year variability in different fish species recruitment has been confirmed by previous studies while diurnal patterns of occupation in...

To migrate, or not to migrate: partial diel horizontal migration of fish in a temperate freshwater reservoir

The diel horizontal migration (DHM) of fish between the inshore and offshore zones of the Římov Reservoir (Czech Republic, deep, stratified,...

A simple method to correct the results of acoustic surveys for fish hidden in the dead zone

In lentic freshwater systems, vertical acoustics may underestimate fish abundance in the acoustic dead zone where fish detection capability is...

The size selectivity of the main body of a sampling pelagic pair trawl in freshwater reservoirs during the night

The aim of this study was to test the selectivity of a trawl main body, especially for small fish, during night sampling. The tested trawl had a mesh...

The influence of diel period on fish assemblage in the unstructured littoral of reservoirs

Diel changes in littoral fish assemblage were studied in four reservoirs in the Czech Republic (Central Europe). The sampling was performed by beach...

Hydroacoustic estimates of fish stocks in temperate reservoirs: day or night surveys?

Day and night acoustic surveys were used to compare fish stock estimates at eight European reservoirs and one flooded mining pit. During both...

Long-term development of fish populations in the Rimov Reservoir

The inshore fish community of the Římov Reservoir in the Czech Republic was evaluated over 21 years using shore seining at night. The development...

Dependence of beach seine net efficiency on net length and diel period

The aim of this study was to quantify the efficiency of different lengths of beach seine nets for each diel period in freshwater reservoirs. Only...

The effect of depth, distance from dam and habitat on spatial distribution of fish in an artificial reservoir

Spatial distribution of the fish community in the deep canyon-shaped Římov Reservoir, Czech Republic, was studied using overnight gillnetting...

Distribution patterns of fishes in a canyon-shaped reservoir

In August 2004 and 2005, an extensive study of the fish community was carried out in the largest water supply reservoir in the Czech Republic and...
