Abstract

The seasonal dynamics of the motivational component of rheoreaction (ratio of rheoreaction types) has been studied in roach Rutilus rutilus L. inhabiting the Rybinsk Reservoir, Russia. The circular hydrodynamic tank with limnozone is used. The change in the ratio of rheoreaction types in nonmigratory mature roach may adequately reflect its behavior in the reservoir. The fish sex, stage of gonad maturation, and water temperature had a weak effect on the rheoreaction types and stability of their manifestation.

Notes

  1. Fishway is a direct-flow hydrodynamic installation that allows determining three rheoreaction types: PTR, NTR, and CTR (Pavlov et al., 2010).
