Effects of macroalgal exudates and oxygen deficiency on survival and behaviour of fish larvae
چکیده انگلیسی
Filamentous algae may create anoxic, i.e. oxygen free, conditions during night and fish larvae that commonly spend their first months in the littoral may therefore be subject to anoxia. We conducted two different experiments; firstly, we measured behaviour of pike larvae (Esox lucius L.), such as frequency of prey attacks and time in vegetation, in the presence of a chemical predator cue and oxygen deficiency. In the second experimental set-up, pike larval survival was monitored in water with added macro-algal exudates (excreted from Pilayella littoralis) and a low oxygen level (3 mg l− 1). Our results showed that oxygen concentration and the chemical predator signal, caused by three-spined sticklebacks, had strong significant effects on the larval prey attacks. The prey attacks were strongly reduced at 3 mg oxygen l− 1. However, survival of the larvae was not affected by low oxygen and macro-algal exudates. Pike larvae are very tolerant to hypoxia and exudates excreted by the littoral vegetation, whereas prey attacks are strongly decreased in hypoxia when a predator is around. This may have negative consequences for pike larval growth and recruitment in eutrophicated environments.
