For fish, swimming behavior is fundamental for every part of a fish post-hatch life, influencing predator-prey interactions, movement ecology, and habitat choice. Here, we study the effects of PIT-tagging on survival and a range of swimming behaviors for South European nase (Protochondrostoma genei) and brook barbel (Barbus caninus), two small-sized, stream-dwelling cypriniforms native to the Italian peninsula. Effects on volitional swimming activity (sustained swimming) and maximum swimming speed (escape response; burst swimming) were tested in arena trials. Tagging effects on the prolonged swimming performance were tested in South European nase in an increasing velocity time-to-fatigue test, while a barrier passage test was designed to further investigate tagging effects in brook barbel. Both species displayed very high survival (95-100%), with no difference between tagged and control fish. No fish lost a tag during the 64 days of the study, and no tagging effect on swimming activity, prolonged swimming performance, barrier passage rate, or escape response was detected. Our results indicate that PIT-telemetry is a suitable tool to study the tested fish species.

Nonetheless, their effects are usually disregarded in fishway engineering and management. This study aims to evaluate the volitional swimming capacity of the northern straight mouth nase (Pseudochondrostoma duriense), considering the possible effects of water temperature, flow velocity and body size. For this, the maximum distance, swim speed and fatigue time (FT) were studied in an outdoor open-channel flume in the Duero River (Burgos, Spain) against three nominal velocities (1.5, 2.5 and 3 m s(-1)) and temperatures (5.5, 13.5 and 18.5 degrees C), also including the changes between swimming modes (prolonged and sprint). Results showed that a nase of 20.8 cm mean fork length can develop a median swim speed that exceeds 20.7 BL s(-1) (4.31 m s(-1)) during a median time of 3.4 s in sprint mode, or 12.2 BL s(-1 )(2.55 m s(-1)) for 23.7 s in prolonged mode under the warmest scenario. During prolonged swimming mode, fish were able to reach further distances in warmer water conditions for all situations, due to a greater swimming speed and FT, whereas during sprint mode, warmer conditions increased the swim speed maintaining the FT. In conclusion, the studied temperature range and flow velocity range influence fish swimming performance, endurance and distance travelled, although with some differences depending on the swimming mode. The provided information goes a step forward in the definition of real fish swimming capacities, and in turn, will contribute to establish clear passage criteria for thermo-velocity barriers, allowing the calculation of the proportion of fish able to pass a barrier under different working scenarios, as well designing of the optimized solutions to improve the fish passage through river barriers.

Laboratory experiments rested two possible hypotheses: The decrease of avoidance behavior is the result of (a) change in the size ratio of larvae/model, or (b) experience with larval siblings. Larval paradise fish did not show greater avoidance of larger larger models or models with larger eyespots. However, if isolated for 3 days, the antipredator behavior of 25-day-old larvae became similar to younger ones. In further experiments, we raised the larvae in a larger holding tank in order to decrease the rate of encounters among conspecifics. In line with our assumptions, these larvae also showed enhanced avoidance toward a model predator. In sum, our experiments revealed that the continuous exposure to conspecific larvae was the main cause for the reduced antipredator behavior toward models. To account for our results, we suggest that larvae of nonschooling paradise fish habituate to the continuous presence of larval conspecifics and as a result, they show decreased avoidance to the model predator. We hypothesize that this habituation process might not work in other fish species that show early schooling behavior in their development. In other words, they would not generalize the experience of conspecifics to potential predators. (C) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The behaviour of 15, 20 and 25 day old larvae was observed both in the presence and absence of the chemical stimuli and in the presence or absence of a predator model. Larvae decreased their swimming activity to a similar level both in the absence and in the presence of the model if they swam in water conditioned with chemical stimulus of the snakehead (Chana striata), a sympatric predator, or the crucian carp (Carassius carassius), a sympatric benthic feeder. Moreover, if the model was present larval paradise fish showed more fleeing and backing in the water conditioned by the sympatric snakehead and pike (Esox lucius) in comparison to water of allopatric predators and the sympatric crucian carp. Fleeing and backing increased with age in the case of snakehead stimulus. We conclude that larval paradise fish are capable of discriminating between waters conditioned by sympatric and allopatric fish in the presence of a simple predator model and this ability develops with age even without experience. The results support the hypothesis that larval fish rely more on non-specific avoidance of potential predators at the beginning of their development but their ability of discrimination emerges in parallel with the improvement of the motor skills that enable them to actively avoid and escape from predators.

The results showed that the ability to recognize eyespots appears in larvae between 15 and 20 days old. At the same time, two horizontally placed eyespots produced the most pronounced effect on the behaviour of the larvae. Testing different inbred strains revealed that the ontogeny of antipredator behaviour is also under broad genetic control, as the response to a model predator was strong in one strain but weak in another. The results suggest that the recognition of eyespots coincides with larvae becoming more conspicuous to predators by the appearance of pigmentation and increasing level of swimming activity (exploration).
