摘要

Abstract

Spatial distribution and abundance of small fishes were studied in autumn 2007 in the Xiaosihai Lake

a shallow lake along the middle reach of the Changjiang (Yangtze) River. Based on the plant cover

the lake was divided into three major habitats: Myriophyllum spicatum habitat (MS habitat)

Trapa bispinosa habitat (TB habitat)

and non-vegetation habitat (NV habitat). A modified pop-net was used for quantitative sampling of small fishes in the three habitats

and the Zippin’s removal method was used for estimating densities of the small fishes. A total of 13 species belonging to 5 families were collected

with 11 species in MS habitat

7 species in TB habitat

and 5 species in NV habitat. Habitat type had significant effect on the spatial distribution of small fishes. The Shannon-Wiener diversity index in the MS

TB and NV habitats were 1.28

0.56 and 0.54

respectively. The total density and biomass of small fishes were significantly higher in the MS habitat (13.68 ind/m2 and 4.44 g/m2) than in the TB habitat (1.41 ind/m2 and 0.54 g/m2) and the NV habitat (1.08 ind/m2 and 0.40 g/m2)

and were not significantly different between the TB habitat and the NV habitat. Water depth had no significant effect on spatial distribution of the small fishes. It was suggested that vegetation type played an important role in habitat selectivity of small fishes

and the presence of submersed vegetation should be of significance in the conservation of small fish diversity.
