Temperatur- och flödespåverkan på aspens (Leuciscus aspius) lekvandring i Fyrisån och Örsundaån, UpplandSvensson, Rebecka January 2019 (has links)
Interconnected freshwater habitats are essential for many fish populations, which allow fish to migrate between areas to fulfil their life-cycle and maximize their fitness. Currently, such populations are negatively affected by human habitat exploitation. As a result, the biodiversity in freshwater ecosystems is decreasing. In this study, I use data from surveys of two Asp (Leuciscus aspius) populations in Uppland to see how a representation of day length, water temperature and water current influence their spawning migrations. I also determine the difference in timing of migration between males and females, and if the individual body size matters. I found that day length, water temperature and water current affect the migratory behavior of Asp. I also found a significant difference in migratory timing between males and females, where males on average arrive 5-6 days earlier than females to spawning areas.
