Abstract:

In order to clarify the current status of juvenile fish resources in Tangjiazhou spawning ground in the lower reaches of Qiantang River, the juvenile fish resources in Tangjiazhou spawning ground were monitored from April to June, 2022. The species composition, ecological type, temporal variation of abundance and community characteristics of the juvenile fish resources were analyzed, and the relationship between the community characteristics and main environmental factors was analyzed, to provide data support for the protection and utilization of fish resources in Qiantang River. A total of 1 191 juvenile fishes were collected and identified, belonging to 2 orders, 2 families, 17 species, of which there were 5 dominant species and 1 common species. During the survey period, the daily abundance of juvenile fish ranged from 0 to 0.255 3 m-3, and the average daily abundance was 0.041 4 m-3. Most of the juvenile fishes were omnivorous (82.4% of the total species), produced sticky eggs (47.1% of the total species), lived in the bottom layer (53.0% of the total species). The results of redundancy analysis showed that the number of juvenile fishes was significantly (P<0.05) correlated with water temperature, yet had no significant correlation with discharge and transparency.

Key words: Qiantang River, juvenile fish, spawning ground, environmental factor
