Abstract:
Measurements of fertilization rates in free-spawning marine invertebrates have shown that reproductive success is related to both behavioural and environmental factors. Water depth has been suggested as being one such factor affecting fertilization success. In experimental spawnings of the sea star Coscinasterias muricata, fertilization rates decreased exponentially with distance from sperm source but were frequently greater than 20% at distances >10 m downstream. Current speed did not have a significant effect on fertilization rate over the range of velocities examined. Fertilization rates

Using individual tags combined with a fish fence operated at the mouth of Smith-Dorrien Creek, the primary spawning habitat for Lower Kananaskis Lake bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus), we approximated a complete census of the spawning population from 1996 to 2000 to assess whether timing of upstream and downstream spawning migrations varied with extrinsic and intrinsic factors. The timing of both upstream and downstream migrations varied with sex, previous spawning experience, density, and temperature.

Spawning movements of cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki) were evaluated using radiotelemetry in a montane river and a headwater tributary. The movements of 23 fish were monitored in spring 1991 and 1992. Fish moved upstream and downstream to spawning areas. These movements fell into two distinct patterns: in one, fish emigrated to tributaries and in the other they traveled to main-stem or side-channel spawning grounds. The pre- and post-spawning movements made by fish that spawned in tributaries were longer than those made by fish that spawned in the main-stem or side-channel areas. While s

A mechanistic temperature-dependent model for preemergent growth coupled with spawning and river temperature data is used to evaluate early life history strategies for chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in the Methow River, Washington, U.S.A.

The model suggests that progeny of August-spawning chinook in upper river habitats emerge at button-up (no visible yolk sac) over a wide range of days in the early spring.

Abstract:
Timing of spawning and hatching of shortnose sturgeon, Acipenser brevirostrum , in the Saint John River, New Brunswick, Canada, was estimated using inverse prediction. We examined egg incubation periods at 5, 9, and 13 °C to back-calculate spawning dates. No larvae hatched at 5 °C. At 9 and 13 °C, hatching began after 18 and 8 days post fertilization, respectively. Lengths of yolk-sac larvae reared in the laboratory at 13–21 °C were used to develop a temperature-mediated Gompertz growth model. The inverted Gompertz model, predicting larval age from larval size and water temperature, was applie

Abstract:
From 1979 to 1982,188 chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) were tagged with radio transmitters to locate spawning areas in the glacial Kenai River, southcentral Alaska. Results confirmed that an early run entered the river in May and June and spawned in tributaries, and a late run entered the river from late June through August and spawned in the main stem. Spawning peaked during August in tributaries influenced by lakes, but during July in other tributaries. Lakes may have increased fall and winter temperatures of downstream waters, enabling successful reproduction for later spawning fis

All stocks had a similar time of downstream migration of the fry.

It is shown that the strongest deviations are caused by precipitation in the year of spawning and in the year of downstream migration of juvenile fish. The second most influential factor is the pre-winter air temperature in the year of spawning. These both factors are positively correlated with the magnitude of deviations.

Tupong (Pseudaphritis urvillii) are diadromous fishes found in freshwater and estuarine regions of south-eastern Australia.

We applied acoustic telemetry to test this hypothesis. We tagged 55 female tupong in two river systems in Victoria, Australia, and tracked movements for 4- to 6-m
