Alteration of flow regimes by anthropogenic activities is one of the primary environmental problems in riverine systems. Understanding how hydrologic conditions can affect ontogenetic habitat shifts of imperiled fishes is important in order to develop conservation and management strategies for each life-history stage. We examined relationships between the abundance of young-of-the-year (YOY) Rio Grande Blue Sucker and various abiotic variables in the Trans-Pecos region of the Rio Grande in Texas, USA. We used open N-mixture modeling to better understand the factors affecting ontogenetic habitat shifts of the imperiled aridland river fish. In addition, we examined differences in Rio Grande Blue Sucker total length among three mesohabitat types (pool, riffle, and run). The results of open N-mixture modeling suggested that as pool area increased, the abundance of YOY Rio Grande Blue Sucker increased. Total length of YOY Rio Grande Blue Sucker also significantly differed among the three mesohabitat types. The total lengths of YOY Rio Grande Blue Sucker in pool habitats were lower than in other mesohabitats, suggesting that YOY Rio Grande Blue Sucker undergo ontogenetic habitat shifts into greater current velocity habitats as they grow. The habitat associations we documented support the growing body of research emphasizing the importance of maintaining sufficient and appropriately timed flows to avoid prolonged low flows that limit habitat availability for native fish species during sensitive life stages in the Rio Grande and other aridland rivers.

在格兰德河大弯地区使用年幼的里奥格兰德蓝吸盘的中生境使用的个体发生变化

人为活动改变水流状态是河流系统中的主要环境问题之一。了解水文条件如何影响濒危鱼类的个体发生栖息地变化对于制定每个生命史阶段的保护和管理策略很重要。我们研究了美国德克萨斯州里奥格兰德的跨佩科斯地区​​的年青 (YOY) 里奥格兰德蓝吸盘的丰度与各种非生物变量之间的关系。我们使用开放的 N 混合物模型来更好地了解影响濒危干旱河鱼个体发生栖息地变化的因素。此外,我们还研究了三种中生境类型(游泳池、浅滩和跑步)之间里奥格兰德蓝吸盘总长度的差异。开放 N 混合物模型的结果表明,随着池面积的增加,YOY Rio Grande Blue Sucker 的丰度增加。YOY Rio Grande Blue Sucker 的总长度在三种中生境类型之间也存在显着差异。YOY Rio Grande Blue Sucker 在水池栖息地的总长度低于其他中生境,这表明 YOY Rio Grande Blue Sucker 随着它们的生长经历个体发育栖息地转变为更大的电流速度栖息地。我们记录的栖息地协会支持越来越多的研究,强调保持充足和适当定时的流量的重要性,以避免长时间的低流量限制了格兰德河和其他干旱河流的敏感生命阶段本地鱼类物种的栖息地可用性。YOY Rio Grande Blue Sucker 的总长度在三种中生境类型之间也存在显着差异。YOY Rio Grande Blue Sucker 在水池栖息地的总长度低于其他中生境,这表明 YOY Rio Grande Blue Sucker 随着它们的生长经历个体发育栖息地转变为更大的电流速度栖息地。我们记录的栖息地协会支持越来越多的研究,强调保持充足和适当定时的流量的重要性,以避免长时间的低流量限制了格兰德河和其他干旱河流的敏感生命阶段本地鱼类物种的栖息地可用性。YOY Rio Grande Blue Sucker 的总长度在三种中生境类型之间也存在显着差异。YOY Rio Grande Blue Sucker 在水池栖息地的总长度低于其他中生境,这表明 YOY Rio Grande Blue Sucker 随着它们的生长经历个体发育栖息地转变为更大的电流速度栖息地。我们记录的栖息地协会支持越来越多的研究,强调保持充足和适当定时的流量的重要性,以避免长时间的低流量限制了格兰德河和其他干旱河流的敏感生命阶段本地鱼类物种的栖息地可用性。表明 YOY Rio Grande Blue Sucker 随着它们的生长经历个体发育栖息地转变为更大的当前速度栖息地。我们记录的栖息地协会支持越来越多的研究,强调保持充足和适当定时的流量的重要性,以避免长时间的低流量限制了格兰德河和其他干旱河流的敏感生命阶段本地鱼类物种的栖息地可用性。表明 YOY Rio Grande Blue Sucker 随着它们的生长经历个体发育栖息地转变为更大的当前速度栖息地。我们记录的栖息地协会支持越来越多的研究,强调保持充足和适当定时的流量的重要性,以避免长时间的低流量限制了格兰德河和其他干旱河流的敏感生命阶段本地鱼类物种的栖息地可用性。
