    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; burbot; climate change; cortisol; diel behaviour; gene expression; HPI axis; light; mRNA; piscivorous; poikilotherm; predator; salmonid; stream; stress; temperature; thermal; winter behaviour; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : Temperature has major effects on the performance of poikilotherms. In encounters with predators, low winter temperatures constrain predator detection and escape capabilities in prey fishes. READ MORE

  4. 2. Fine stream wood : effects on drift and brown trout (Salmo trutta) growth and behaviour

    Author : Åsa Enefalk; Eva Bergman; Anders Nilsson; Stanley Gregory; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; stream fish; wood; salmonid; trout; aquatic invertebrates; behaviour; sheltering; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : Stream ecosystems and their riparian zones have previously been regarded as two different ecosystems, linked through numerous reciprocal subsidies. Today, ecologists agree that the stream and the riparian zone should be regarded as one system, the stream-riparian ecosystem, which is characterised largely by the subsidies between land and water.

  5. 3. Re-establishment of connectivity for fish populations in regulated rivers

    Author : Olle Calles; Larry Greenberg; Lars Nyberg; David Scruton; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Attraction efficiency; Connectivity; Flow regime; Hyporheic water quality; Nature-like fishway; Passage efficiency; Regulated river; Remedial measures; Salmo trutta; Biology; Biologi; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : The hydropower industry has altered connectivity in many rivers during the last century. Many fish species depend on both an intact longitudinal connectivity to be able to migrate between spawning, feeding and winter habitats, and vertical connectivity for development and survival of incubating embryos and larvae in the gravel.
