Abstract

Invasive gobies can have severe detrimental effects on local fish communities, however, direct methods for population control are often insufficient (i.e. fishing) or not feasible (i.e. poisoning). Indirect methods, such as habitat modifications in the course of restoration programs, appear promising but are poorly studied. In this study, we investigate the effects of different restoration measures on the abundance and occurrence of non-native gobies in the main stem of a free-flowing section of the Danube and attempt to disentangle these measures from general large-scale trends by applying a Before-After-Control-Impact design. We found three invasive goby species (racer, bighead, and round goby) in the sampling area, partly with very high abundances. Four to six years after the installation, the measures had negative (riprap removal), neutral (side arm reconnection), or positive (groyne field adaptations) effects on goby abundances. We conclude that the impact of the measures depends on the type of intervention, is species-specific, and is largely related to substrate composition. Independent from the effect of the measures, abundances of bighead and round goby dropped in the project and reference sections after the pre-survey. This general decline probably indicates a stabilization phase of the goby populations on a lower level, but may also be influenced by a major flood event. Nevertheless, our results indicate a high potential of shoreline modifications for invasive species control, calling for considering and incorporating them in river restoration programs.

水利工程恢复措施对大河中侵入性虾虎的影响(奥地利多瑙河)

摘要

侵袭性虾虎鱼可能会对当地鱼类群落造成严重的不利影响,但是,直接控制种群的方法往往是不充分的(即捕鱼)或不可行的(即中毒)。间接方法,例如在恢复计划过程中对栖息地进行改造,似乎很有希望,但研究却很少。在这项研究中,我们调查了不同的恢复措施对多瑙河自由流段主干中非天然虎虾的数量和发生的影响,并试图通过应用一种方法将这些措施与一般的大规模趋势区分开。前后控制影响设计。我们在采样区域中发现了三种侵入性虾虎鱼种类(种族,head鱼和圆形虾虎鱼),部分丰度很高。安装后四到六年,这些措施产生了负面影响(去除了废料),对虾虎鱼丰度有中性(侧臂重新连接)或正(丁炔场适应)影响。我们得出结论,这些措施的影响取决于干预的类型,是特定于物种的,并且在很大程度上与基质成分有关。不受措施影响的影响,预调查后,项目和参考部分的big鱼和round鱼的数量下降。总体下降可能表明虾虎鱼种群处于稳定阶段,但也可能受到重大洪水事件的影响。然而,我们的结果表明,对入侵物种进行控制的海岸线改造潜力很大,因此需要考虑并将其纳入河流恢复计划中。我们得出结论,这些措施的影响取决于干预的类型,是特定于物种的,并且在很大程度上与基质成分有关。不受措施影响的影响,预调查后,项目和参考部分的big鱼和round鱼的数量下降。总体下降可能表明虾虎鱼种群处于稳定阶段,但也可能受到重大洪水事件的影响。然而,我们的结果表明,对入侵物种进行控制的海岸线改造潜力很大,因此需要考虑并将其纳入河流恢复计划中。我们得出结论,这些措施的影响取决于干预的类型,是特定于物种的,并且在很大程度上与基质成分有关。不受措施影响的影响,预调查后,项目和参考部分的big鱼和round鱼的数量下降。总体下降可能表明虾虎鱼种群处于稳定阶段,但也可能受到重大洪水事件的影响。然而,我们的结果表明,对入侵物种进行控制的海岸线改造潜力很大,因此需要考虑并将其纳入河流恢复计划中。在进行预调查之后,项目和参考部分的of鱼和and鱼的数量下降了。总体下降可能表明虾虎鱼种群处于稳定阶段,但也可能受到重大洪水事件的影响。然而,我们的结果表明,对入侵物种进行控制的海岸线改造潜力很大,因此需要考虑并将其纳入河流恢复计划中。在进行预调查之后,项目和参考部分的of鱼和and鱼的数量下降了。总体下降可能表明虾虎鱼种群处于稳定阶段,但也可能受到重大洪水事件的影响。然而,我们的结果表明,对入侵物种进行控制的海岸线改造潜力很大,因此需要考虑并将其纳入河流恢复计划中。
