Dynamique de la population de Truite commune (Salmo trutta) d'un ruisseau breton (France): les géniteurs sédentaires

Population dynamics of brown trout (Salmo trutta) in a breton stream (France) : The non-migrant spawners.The biological factors of the population dynamic of brown trout in a tributary of the Scorff river, havebeen studied during 4 years . The characteristics of the spawners, present in the stream before the spawningmigration from the main river, are described . These spawners were born in the stream and stayed there duringtheir entire life-span . Among mature fish the sex ratio was always in favour of males . During the third andthe fourth years of life, annual mortality rate was 70% for males and 50% for females . 1+ spawners werethese which had the best 0+ growth rate. A majority of males first matured at 1 + years of age . On an average,1 + females were responsible for 25 016 of the total reproductive potential . The number of 3 + and4+ females seemed to depend on the fishing effort .Population dynamics of brown trout (Salmo trutta) in a breton stream (France): The non-migrant spawners.
