“…The periods of incubation given by Ogle (1998), Bruslé and Quignard (2001) and Teletchea et al (2009b) are consistent: 10 days at 12.5°C, 8 days at 14.5°C and between 5 and 12 days at 10-15°C respectively. Fairchild and McCormick (1996), on the other hand, found much longer incubation periods for the ruffe: 9, 14 and 26 days at 11°C, 16°C and 21°C respectively.…”

“…The optimum range retained here is between 15°C and 25°C (the maximum optimum temperature retained for the juvenile), with a maximum of 31°C (Alabaster, 1964). Reproduction occurs for ruffe between 6°C and 18°C (Kolomin, 1977;Ogle, 1998;Keith and Allardi, 2001). The University of Minnesota website states that spermatogenesis occurs between 2°C and 18°C (Butskaya, 1985).…”

The effects of industrial cooling water on fish communities were widely debated at the end of the seventies, when large thermal power plants were being developed. This led to numerous research programs on thermal tolerance in fish. The recent warming climatic period and especially the 2003 heat wave have brought thermal biology back to center stage. The work presented here has consisted in analyzing historical and contemporary literature to update basic knowledge on thermal tolerances of 19 riverine fish species. These data were then validated and completed by European fish specialists. We finally proposed a synthesis, based on more than 300 references, which details thermal tolerances for the entire life cycle: reproduction, embryonic, larval, juvenile and adult life stages. This updated material is of great importance to an understanding of the trends observed in fish communities or for forecasting future behavior in climate change scenarios. RÉSUMÉSynthèse des tolérances thermiques des espèces de poissons communes des rivières et fleuves de plaine de l'ouest européen L'effet de l'élévation de température des cours d'eau a été largement débattu à la fin des années 70 qui ont connu le développement des centrales thermiques de grande puissance. Ces études ont généré alors de nombreux programmes de recherche sur la tolérance thermique des poissons, dont les résultats sont parfois oubliés ou difficiles à rassembler. Le réchauffement climatique actuel et en particulier l'épisode caniculaire de 2003 a mis de nouveau ce thème sur le devant de la scène. Le travail de synthèse présenté a consisté à analyser des données historiques et contemporaines de la littérature, afin de mettre à jour les connaissances de base sur les tolérances thermiques de 19 espèces de poissons d'eau douce. Cette synthèse a ensuite été validée et complétée par des spécialistes européens. Elle s'est appuyée sur plus de 300 références qui détaillent les tolérances thermiques de chacun des stades du cycle de vie des espèces étudiées : reproduction et stades embryonnaire, larvaire, juvénile et adulte. Cette mise à jour est essentielle pour comprendre les tendances d'évolution déjà constatées des communautés de poissons et prévoir les futures évolutions en fonction de différents scénarios de changement climatique.

“…Its native distribution range is in temperate zones of Europe and Northern Asia, but it has been introduced into the Great Lakes in North America and some European lakes where ruffe naturally did not exist (Simon and Vondruska 1991;Pratt et al 1992;Winfield et al 1996;Ogle 1998). Ruffe is a typical batch spawner (usually up to three batches during one spawning season) with high total fecundity (Neja 1988;Ogle 1998;Saat et al 2003;Lorenzoni et al 2009). It can tolerate a wide range of environmental and ecological factors.…”

Variations in egg characteristics of ruffe Gymnocephalus cernua inhabiting brackish and freshwater environments

et al. 2015

Egg characteristics of teleost fishes are affected by various abiotic and biotic factors. In order to reproduce successfully, freshwater fishes inhabiting brackish environments must alter their reproductive characteristics, including egg properties, to increased osmotic pressure. Ruffe Gymnocephalus cernua was used as a model species to compare egg characteristics between fish populations inhabiting brackish and freshwater environments. Fish from the brackish environment had larger eggs with higher energy content than the individuals originating from freshwater. In freshwater, eggs from the first batch were larger than from the second. Female size correlated positively with egg size in the brackish water population. In freshwater, this correlation was evident only with eggs from the first batch. Only a weak positive correlation was found between fish condition and egg size in females from the brackish water population. Egg size variation did not differ between sites, nor was it correlated with mean egg size or any other maternal traits within populations. These results indicate significant modifications in reproductive strategies between brackish and freshwater ruffe populations. Additionally, results show that at least in freshwater, the first batch of eggs is of the highest quality and therefore more important for reproduction.

Creating wetland islands to enhance shoreline habitat for fish recruitment in a modified shallow lake

Soft shoreline engineering is increasingly used to combine shoreline fortification with the enhancement of biodiversity and biological production of land–water transitions. From 2016 to 2021, the large‐scale ecosystem restoration project Marker Wadden has created new multiple wetland islands from local sediments in the highly modified Lake Markermeer, the Netherlands. Instead of replacing steep rip‐rap shorelines with soft shorelines, new islands with soft land–water transitions were engineered to offset the marked declines in bird and fish populations in this Natura 2000 area, protected under the European Union Birds and Habitats Directives. This new approach was evaluated by assessing the added value of the newly created wetland islands with soft shorelines to the existing steep rip‐rap fortified shores of the lake, for the enhancement of fish spawning and nursery habitat. Young‐of‐the‐year fish densities at the Marker Wadden islands were highest in sheltered bays and wetlands with nutrient‐rich silt sediments, and lowest at wind‐exposed sandy beaches. Both newly engineered soft shorelines and existing rip‐rap shorelines contributed to habitat diversity, although fish densities declined considerably with increasing exposure to wind‐induced wave power. Building soft shorelines as a new archipelago instead of replacing existing shoreline habitats increased the total length of the land–water transitions in the lake. The 800 ha Marker Wadden archipelago covers only 1% of the 70,000 ha lake surface area, but provides a 16% increase in shoreline habitat and a fivefold increase in soft shoreline for the lake. We conclude that designing wetland islands as a means of lake restoration can contribute effectively to sheltered habitat enhancement for fish spawning and nurseries, and thereby to the potential conservation of fish communities. The approach of building islands achieves this without compromising the complementary functionality of the original, more mature, shorelines of the lake.
