Ripe females of whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) of Lake Constance were caught at spawning time on their known spawning sites. Fish were examined for their size, gill-raker number, and for their egg dry weight. On the basis of their spawning sites as well as on correlation between body weight and egg weight, fish were allocated at one of the two sympatric populations: nearshore spawning Gangfisch or pelagic spawning Blaufelchen. The two fish samples were examined electrophoretically for the enzyme products of 37 genetic loci. Blaufelchen and Gangfisch were genetically identical (Nei's unbiased genetic distance D = 0.000) when all fish samples were included into the analysis. However, some genetic differentiation (D = 0.001) was evident after excluding the fish whose data points on body weight versus egg weight overlapped. Additional enzyme systems or some other genetic methodology should be used to provide more information on the genetic status of the two whitefish forms in Lake Constance.Contribution No. 8 in the Program of Joint Investigation of Holarctic Fishes among the Russia, Canada, Finland, and Poland  相似文献

Recent growth of 14 fish taxa of Lake Constance has been studied. In the mesotrophic basin summer-pelagic species opposite to the others appear to grow faster now than during earlier oligotrophic status. From trends of growth, feeding and yield (table) it is concluded that eutrophication has favoured planktivores.—In the eutrophic lower basin only coregonids grow slower than in the mesotrophic part of the lake. Factors that have caused growth differences are thought to be food density and water temperature (through changed fish distribution and different shape of basin).  相似文献

Eggs of Coregonus albula were incubated at temperatures of 1.1, 2.0, 4.9, 6.6, 8.4 and 9.9 °C. The successful hatching is optimum with 61 % at 4.9 °C; incubation time and period of hatching decrease significantly with rising temperature. The length of eleutheroembryos decreases with rising temperature, the yolk sac volume increases. Between the incubation time till hatching and the body length a significantly positive regression exists in the range of 4.9… 8.4 °C, for the yolk sac volume the regression is negative, it is significant in the range of 2.9… 6.6 °C; at the same time a negative regression exists between the yolk sac volume and the body length. Thus, low temperatures cause a delay of hatching, higher temperatures accelerate hatching and at the same time result in a reduced utilization of the yolk reserves. Besides these influences of temperature on the rate of ontogenetic processes, some autoecological consequences of the influence of temperature result, which have to be taken into account in further investigations.  相似文献

Previous genetic studies on perch (Perca fluviatilis L.) in northern and southern regions of Europe have shown low heterozygosity. No such investigation has been conducted in the central part of Europe. The genetic variability ofP. fluviatilis in four Swiss lakes (Lake Constance, Lake Zürich, Lake Geneva and Lake Maggiore) was investigated. These four lakes belong to three different drainage systems (Rhine, Rhone and Po) without connections. A total of 136 fish were analysed electrophoretically. Only one locus (SOD *) was highly polymorphic in Lake Constance among the 27 loci studied. The expected heterozygosities for each population and for the total population were higher than in the previous studies but low (H S= 0.38–2.7%;H T=1.22%) and Nei's genetic distances were small (0.000–0.003). However, the jack-knifed mean of the Wright'sF STwas calculated as 0.142, which indicates modest genetic differentiation among the perch populations in Switzerland, due to the differentiated population in Lake Constance.  相似文献

Formation of Brominated Disinfection By-products after Chlorination of Water from Lake Constance Depending on Treatment Steps and Bromide Concentration The formation of halogenated disinfection by-products (DNP) (trihalomethanes (THM), haloacetic acids (HES), haloacetonitriles (HAN), haloketones (HKE) and chloropicrin (TCNM)) was studied after chlorination (0.5 mg/L) of raw water and drinking water from Lake Constance. The objectives of this study were to investigate the effect of bromide ion on the distribution of DNP-species resulting from chlorination and to draw up a bromide mass-balance. The treatment of water from Lake Constance with ozone decreased the formation of DNP about 35% and of total organic halogens (AOX) about 45%. This decline in DNP-formation is mainly due to the formation of chloroform, dichloro- and trichloroacetic acid. Though there is only a small amount of bromide (6.2 μg/L) in water from Lake Constance, about 32% of THM, 16% of HES, and 30% of HAN contained bromine after chlorination of treated water. The addition of bromide ion (up to 1 mg/L) shifted the DNP-composition to more brominated species. The distribution of the DNP-species depends on the initial molar bromide-to-chlorine ratio. A mathematic model showed the same pattern of DNP-species depending on the initial molar bromide-to-chlorine ratio that was observed experimentally in microstrained raw water and drinking water from Lake Constance. After chlorination of microstrained raw water, 27% of the bromide were incorporated in known DNP, 34% in unknown substances, and about 39% of bromide were not converted to organic bromine. After chlorination of treated water, only 16% of the bromide were incorporated in unknown substances, whereas 34% were found in known DNP. About 50% were found as bromide again. After addition of bromide (up to 25 μg/L) to ozonated and treated water from Lake Constance, between 60 and 72% of the bromide that had reacted after chlorination were found in analyzed low-molecular DNP.  相似文献

The case history of whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) of Lake Constance is re-interpreted. From a comparison of time series it is concluded that-contrary to the former view-major changes in the biology of whitefish of Lake Constance are interpretable in terms other than eutrophication. Whitefish appears to be a poor indicator of changes in the trophic state of a lake.  相似文献

Concomitant with the increased eutrophication observed during the last 20 years in Lake of Constance, also an increase of saprobity was expected. To prove this, viable counts of zymogenic heterotrophic bacteria (TVC) as well as of fecal indicators were determined in vertical profiles during the cycle of a year and compared with concomitant concentrations of dissolved organic matter (DOM). There was an inverse relationship between DOM and epilimnetic peaks of TVC, but also between DOM and viable counts of Cytophagaceae, which were most abundant at low water temperatures. The average epilimnetic TVC-values exceeded comparable 20 years old data by a factor of 10. On the other hand, fecal Coli and Streptococci, by accumulating in the bottom water, showed mostly a distribution which was reverse to earlier findings of this group and recent distribution patterns of TVC as well. Altogether, the results support the view that the abundance of zymogenic bacteria in Lake of Constance is mainly controlled by its epilimnetic primary production of degradable organic matter.  相似文献

Influence of water temperature on embryonic and larval development of bream (Abramis brama L.) was stdied. Eggs of bream were incubated at eight constant water temperatures between 13.2 and 26.8°C. The temperature of 21.1°C gave highest hatching success, with no abnormalities in the eleutheroembryos and lowest mortality observed between eyed egg stage and the time of hatching. Developmental rate increased with increasing temperature. Duration of embryonic development (y; hours) decreased with increasing incubation temperature (x; °C) according to the formula: y=910.1−65.88 x+1.318 x2. Larvae were reared at eight constant temperatures ranging from 13.5 to 34.0°C. The instantaneous growth rate in wet weight increased with increasing test temperature from 13.5 to 29.9°C, and then decreased at higher temperatures. Individual growth of fish and biomass production rate were highest at 27.9°C. This temperature is considered optimal when food availability and photoperiod are no limiting factors.  相似文献

In eutrophic Lake Alpnach, several forms of whitefish (Coregonus spp.) are found which show different growth rates. In recent years, immature whitefish of the fastgrowing form (local name: ‘Felchen’, here called ‘Grossfelchen’) have been caught in the nets used for fishing the slowgrowing form (local name: ‘Albeli’, here called ‘Kleinfelchen’). The aim of this study was to identify the different forms of coregonids and to determine their growth rate, age of first maturation, and relative frequency in the catch with gill nets of different mesh sizes. While the separation of the different forms on the basis of meristic characters proved unsatisfactory, the growth during the first year of life was found best suited for this purpose. For the whitefish fishery in Lake Alpnach, the fastgrowing form is regarded as the most important one. Due to eutrophication, the whitefish now show a considerably faster growth than about 40 years ago. In addition, they mature at a younger age than before. The consequences of these findings for the management of the whitefish stocks in Lake Alpnach are discussed.   相似文献

Depth variable vertical eddy diffusion coefficients for heat (K z) were calculated from continuously measured temperature profiles in Überlinger See (western part of Lake Constance). The temperatures were averaged over vertical intervals of 10 m yielding 14 discrete values (maximum depth of Überlinger See: 147 m). A linear fit from 10 June to 29 September 1987 was used to smooth the significant temperature fluctuations caused by internal seiches of Lake Constance.Assuming horizontal homogeneity for the smoothed data the Gradient-Flux-Method was applied to compute vertical diffusion coefficientsK z at different depths using the depth variable volumes and surfaces of the 14 layers. The resulting mean diffusion coefficients for the period from June to September are 0.04 cm2/s near the thermocline and up to 0.8 cm2/s in deeper strata (accuracy: ± 50%). It is shown that horizontal mixing between Überlinger See and Obersee (main lake) alters the computation ofK z by less than 50%.A relationship betweenK z and stability (Brunt-Väisälä) frequencyN is found which corresponds well to the theory of internal wave induced turbulence.Combining the diffusion coefficients with measured phosphorus profiles, a phosphorus flux from the hypolimnion to the epilimnion of (0.7 ± 0.4) mg P m–2 d–1 was calculated, corresponding to about 20% of the average external loading per area of Lake Constance in 1986.  相似文献

Summary The new results described in the foregoing work were obtained by the smearing technique from the egg material of gwyniads (coregonids) coming from the Lake of Zurich and from the Lake of Constance (near Ermatingen). The results of these experiments deviate from those obtained up to now. Thus an entire series of different chromosome numbers was discovered, as a rule, in one and the same embryo. In the majority of cases, these numbers do not have a definite relation to one another. This fact excludes an endomitotic polyploidization. However, if we consider only those numbers which come up frequently we can place them in series as multiples of 7 or 12. A dispersion around certain numbers is due to the phenomenon of non-disjunction. The number 84 appears most frequently. A set of this number does not show groups of 4—contrary to the experiments ofSvaerdson andKupka. However, groups of 4 can be proven with some certainty on an analysed plate with 146 chromosomes. Consequently, there exists polyploidization through endomitoses in numbers exceeding at least 84. Differences in the phases of the successive stages of mitosis as well as tripolar anaphases give indications to a certain mechanism of nucleus decrease, particularly, since in both phenomena the numbers of chromosomes involved can also be found as total chromosome number in smaller nuclei. Today it is impossible to determine a definite chromosome number as being haploidic forCoregonus lavaretus L. (Steinmann) since no special experiments have been performed up to now. However, since the number 84 appears most frequently, a certain preeminence can probably be given to it. It appears that the mentioned deviations from the theoretical normal case are not abnormalities but should be considered as being normal in the development ofCoregonus lavaretus L. (Steinmann).

Mature coregonids of Lake Mondsee were caught during spawning time on three known spawning sites. The aim of the study was to reveal whether the three stocks are reproductively isolated, and in consequence to decide whether they should be managed as separate stocks or as one panmictic population.Fish were examined morphologically and their tissue samples were examined electrophoretically for the enzyme products of 37 genetic loci.The gill-raker numbers (28–40) and electrophoretic alleles were typical for European whitefish,Coregonus lavaretus. No genetic differentiation (Nei's genetic distance D = 0.000) was found between the three samples studied. The genetic characteristics of the Lake Mondsee whitefish population, based on pooled genetic data, was compared to several other European whitefish populations. The average heterozygosity (6.5%) was high as usually in whitefish; genetic distances between the Lake Mondsee and three other European whitefish populations were within the range reported for the geographically distant populations of the species. Management implications of the results are briefly discussed.Contribution No. 21 in the Program of Joint Investigation of Holarctic Fishes among Russia, Canada, Finland, and Poland  相似文献

On the basis of different sets of aerial photos the dynamics of the reed bed areas of Lake Constance were investigated in relation to the dynamics of the water levels. The objectives of the study were to quantify the changes of reed areas due to different flood events in the last decades and their recovery in the time periods between these events. The results should given information of the relevance of water level variations on reed bed dynamics and the regeneration times of reed beds after extreme disturbance events.Following the extreme flood at Lake Constance in 1999 the reed belts of Lake Constance lost approximately 30 ha (24%) of the lakeside reed beds. The loss is comparable to the situation in the late 1960s, when approximately 40 ha died back due to the extreme flood in 1965 and the high spring water levels in the subsequent years. In the time period between the extreme floods of 1965 and 1999, the reed areas expanded to nearly 85% of the area before 1965. The expansion rates increased with increasing distance to the flood event of 1965. Especially in periods with series of years of low spring water level the expansion rates were high.The damage degrees of the reed areas in the years 2000 and 2002 showed a clear relation to the elevation (i.e. average water level) of the stands. The damage degree increased with decreasing elevation. Furthermore the regeneration process of severely damaged stands was related to the elevation level of the stands. Whereas stands at high elevation regenerate fast, those at low elevation died off completely in the years after the extreme flood. This supports the hypothesis that the water level flutuations play a major role in the reed dynamics of Lake Constance.As a consequence of the climate change an increase in the frequency of high spring water levels is expected. Thus, it seems unlikely that reed stands will ever expand again to the same area as before 1965.  相似文献

The Ponto-Caspian mysid Limnomysis benedeni was first recorded in Lake Constance in summer 2006, and a stable population developed at the site of discovery. Although this mysid is common in the Rhine and Danube rivers, little is known about its ecology and impact in systems of invasion. We investigated the autecology of L. benedeni in habitat-choice and food experiments. In the habitat-choice experiments, highly structured habitats, i.e., stones covered with zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha), macrophytes, and especially stonewort, were strongly preferred. In food experiments, L. benedeni fed mostly on food sources with a small particle size, e.g., biofilm on leaf litter, biodeposited material of zebra mussels, epilithon, and phytoplankton. We also compared the L. benedeni population data from Lake Constance with that from rivers. In Lake Constance, female L. benedeni were nearly 30% larger and carried more than three times more eggs in spring (9.4±0.6 mm and 28.4±5.7 eggs) than in summer (6.7±0.8 mm and 8.7±2.9 eggs). The mysids present in spring might be the generation that over-wintered; in summer, this generation was probably replaced by a new generation of smaller individuals. The large brood size and the detritivorous feeding strategy might allow L. benedeni to colonize Lake Constance rapidly.  相似文献

The chloride concentration in Lake Constance, by volume the second largest lake in Europe, has increased by a factor of 2.4 during the past 40 years. Based on a chloride budget for the year 2006, we estimated total chloride imports to the catchment at 101 kt year−1. Road deicing salts contributed 52%, waste water 23%, farming 11%, soil weathering 9%, precipitation and solid waste incineration 3% to this import. River monitoring programs in Switzerland, Germany, and Austria in 2006 traced an average total chloride export from the catchment into Lake Constance of almost 70 kt and an export from the lake of 56 kt. About one-third of this load to the lake originated from the Alpine Rhine catchment (Switzerland), and about 60% from various smaller tributaries in Austria and Germany. The average annual import of chloride to Lake Constance for the years 1995–2007 was 60 kt, the export almost 57 kt. This budget is in good agreement with the observed increase in the chloride content of the lake and thus confirms the appropriateness and quality of the long-term monitoring program conducted by Swiss, German and Austrian laboratories. For the year 2006, we estimated that about 65% of the chloride spread onto roads for deicing and manure on cultivated land reached the lake within the year of their application. The missing 35% remained transiently in the soil and groundwater of the catchment.  相似文献

The Deschampsietum rhenanae is an endemic and endangered lakeshore community growing in the upper littoral of Lake Constance, the occurrence of which has been reduced dramatically during the last 100 years. The existence of this community depends on the seasonal water level changes of the unregulated, prealpine Lake Constance. Long-term monitoring indicates that the typical species of the Deschampsietum rhenanae and their competitors may be strongly affected by extreme water levels. An earlier onset of the water level increase in spring could potentially pose a threat to the Deschampsietum rhenanae, especially if the water level rises before seed ripening in the Deschampsietum rhenanae.  相似文献

Oxygen uptake rates by the sediment have been determined in a natural stratified sediment-water system from Lake Constance (Obersee, max. depth). After oxic preconditioning of the system the uptake rates ranged between 855 and 1,062 mg·m?2·d?1; after anoxic preconditioning of the system they ranged between 3,405 and 3,794 mg·m?2·d?1. These data, and the electron activity buffer capacity and oxygen consumption intensity as found in Lake Constance profundal water, show that the oxic-anoxic transition will happen here at the earliest after 142 days (about 4.5 months) of total oxygen isolation. Reoxygenation requires at least 3.7 times higher O2 input than supposed for a ‘normal’ winter circulation in Obersee.  相似文献

Calcite precipitation is a phenomenon occuring in most hardwater lakes world-wide. On May 5th, 1990, a whiting in Lake Constance was observed by LANDSAT for the first time. Physical, chemical and biological ground data sets prove that the observed structures are caused by calcite precipitation. This satellite observation provides information about the patchiness of calcite crystals suspended in the surface water of the lake western basin.  相似文献

Diel vertical distribution of strictly pelagic juvenile (23–47 mm total length) maraena whitefish Coregonus maraena (Bloch, 1779) was repeatedly investigated in spring primarily using hydroacoustics in the artificial post-mining Most Lake in the Czech Republic. At the same time, an ichthyoplankton trawl was used to identify acoustical targets. During the day, fish performed extensive shoaling behaviour in depths between 2 and approximately 40 m and were not accessible for trawling. By evening, with decreasing light intensity, shoals started to disintegrate and at night fish were relatively homogeneously distributed in the water column from the surface down to a depth of 40 m. Juvenile maraena whitefish could be caught by trawl as the only fish species at night. Shoaling behaviour started again approximately 1.5 h before sunrise. The data showed steep decreases in fish density between the two surveys in spring which indicates significant mortality of early juvenile coregonids as a result of poor availability of zooplankton in a highly oligotrophic post-mining lake.  相似文献

We present results of various circulation scenarios for the wind-induced three-dimensional currents in Lake Constance, obtained with the aid of a semi-spectral semi-implicit finite difference code developed in Haidvogel et al. and Wang and Hutter. Internal Kelvin and Poincaré-type oscillations are demonstrated in the numerical results, whose periods depend upon the stratification and the geometry of the basin and agree well with measured data. By solving the eigenvalue problem of the linearized shallow water equations in the two-layered stratified Lake Constance, the interpretation of the oscillations as Kelvin and Poincaré-type waves is corroborated.  相似文献
