    River restoration concepts — goals and perspectives (1995)

    Notes: Abstract An analysis of restoration projects carried out both in Austria and abroad shows that most projects are limited to design measures within the river bed with the general intention to increase habitat diversity. The various measures are not based on the type-specific characteristics of the river and thus there is a danger of creating uniform restoration stretches, independent of the specific landscape area, river morphology, discharge regime or site specific biocoenoses. Such proceeding lacks in considering a comprehensive improvement of ecological functioning of the whole river-system. To meet those demands a type-specific guiding view (‘Leitbild’) has to be developed based on the pristine river conditions. The comparison of the river pattern including the characteristic features of its unmodified state with the actual situation leads to a comprehensive set of measures. The essential goals of such management-concepts are the integrity of the river habitat, self-regulation and self-regeneration, the preservation of intact resources, as well as the possibility to experience the uniqueness, diversity and beauty of natural river landscapes.

    The effects of recreated instream and ecotone structures on the fish fauna of an epipotamal river (1995)
    Springer

    ISSN: 1573-5117
    Keywords: river restoration ; instream structures ; land/water ecotone ; fish fauna

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Investigations of fifteen sections of seven Austrian epipotamal (barbel region) streams between 1981 and 1984 demonstrate the impact of instream river bed structures on fish communities. Reduced spatial heterogeneity due to river straightening resulted in decreasing species number, diversity, stock density and biomass. Reincreased variability of the river bed in the frame of a subsequent restructuring project improved all community-specific values significantly within a 3-year investigation period (1988–1990). Besides the regained habitat variability in form of riffle pool sequences and other instream structures, the newly created riparian zones obviously provided important niches, e.g. as refuge areas during flooding and as nursery grounds for fish fry. The positive effects of the recreated land/water ecotone are discussed with respect to river restoration projects.

    Fundamentals of fish ecological integrity and their relation to the extended serial discontinuity concept (2000)
    Springer
    Hydrobiologia 422-423 (2000), S. 85-97 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-5117
    Keywords: ecological integrity ; running waters ; fish ecology ; extended serial discontinuity concept ; connectivity

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Current ecological theories and concepts describe running waters as four-dimensional systems, their longitudinal, lateral and vertical linkages, interactions and exchange processes varying over time and over different scales. According to Ward & Stanford's (1983) extended serial discontinuity concept (ESDC), along a three-reach river, model the relative strength of the longitudinal pathways is highest in the constrained headwaters, vertical interactions reach their maximum in the braided middle course and lateral connectivity plays the major role in alluvial floodplain rivers. The present paper examines the general tenets of the ESDC from a fundamental fish ecology perspective. Specifically, it focuses on the degree to which the spatial/temporal connectivity requirements of fish communities or key fish species along a schematic longitudinal river course are compatible with the underlying principles of the ESDC and whether these requirements provide basic criteria for assessing the ecological integrity of running waters. From the fish ecological perspective, the examples provided here demonstrate a principle agreement with the concept of the four-dimensional nature of running waters, whose key functional and structural elements are spatial/temporal fluvial dynamics, disturbances, connectivity, succession and ecotones. Fish are particularly useful indicators of the temporally variable connectivities on the full range of scales at the three spatial dimensions. As far as the habitat requirements of typical species/developmental stages are concerned, two major modifications of the ESDC are needed. In constrained headwaters, in addition to longitudinal connectivity, the crucial importance of the vertical pathway river/bed sediments for reproduction must be emphasized. Also, in addition to lateral connectivity, longitudinal connectivity remains a vital basis for potamal fish communities in alluvial braided and meandering zones.

    The efficiency of a nature-like bypass channel for pike-perch (Stizostedion lucioperca) in the Marchfeldkanalsystem (1998)

    Notes: Abstract This radio telemetry study is part of a large interdisciplinary research program on the colonisation and development of the Marchfeldkanal(MFK)-system, a man made channel. The immigration of fishes into the MFK is dependent on the effectiveness of fish bypass channels at several weirs. To investigate the efficiency of the lower most fishway we estimated the population densities along the MFK-system and below the weirs using electrofishing. In addition, the movements of 15 radio-tagged pike-perch at the fishway were observed. Although more than 57000 fishes of 35 species passed the bypass channel, pike-perch (Stizostedion lucioperca) were under-represented in the fishway traps compared to their occurrence in the channel. The average daily movement of radio-tagged pike-perch was 108 m (range 6–333 m) and the maximum observed daily movement was 1050 m. The entrance to the bypass channel (280 m below the weir, and 100 m above the release site) was approached a number of times by 6 tagged fish, though none of them entered the bypass channel during the period of tracking. We conclude that although pike-perch migrate actively they do not utilise the bypass channel as much as most fish species of the MFK. Therefore the weir still represents a bottleneck for the immigration of pike-perch into the MFK.
