Journal ArticleDOI
The Danube so colourful: a potpourri of plastic litter outnumbers fish larvae in Europe's second largest river.
Aaron Lechner,Hubert Keckeis,Franz Lumesberger-Loisl,Bernhard Zens,Reinhard Krusch,Michael Tritthart,Martin Glas,Elisabeth Schludermann +7 more
TL;DR: A two year survey using stationary driftnets detected mean plastic abundance and mass in the Austrian Danube to be higher than those of drifting larval fish and industrial raw material accounted for substantial parts of the plastic debris.
Journal ArticleDOI
Movement patterns and rheoreaction of larvae of a fluvial specialist (nase, Chondrostoma nasus): the role of active versus passive components of behaviour in dispersal1
TL;DR: All dispersal-relevant movement patterns of larvae of a characteristic rheophilic species were analyzed and three consecutive larval stages were tested to account for possible ontogenetic shifts in movement behaviour, both during the day and at night.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling the dispersal of riverine fish larvae: from a raster-based analysis of movement patterns within a racetrack flume to a rheoreaction-based correlated random walk (RCRW) model approach1
Martin Glas,Michael Tritthart,Bernhard Zens,Hubert Keckeis,Aaron Lechner,Timothy Kaminskas,Helmut Habersack +6 more
TL;DR: A biased and correlated random walk model is developed that includes rheoreaction — a key behavioural response of fish to flow within rivers that contradicts the assumption that passive particle tracing models can serve as a proxy for larval dispersal models.
