Abstract
The drift of embryonic and larval fishes in the main channel of the Upper Rhone River, France, was monitored continuousty over a 48-h period in mid-July 1985. The relative abundances of 8 species of fry did not change; the free embryos and larvae of L. gibbosus end the larvae of Gobio gobio were dominant. Fry were more abundant in near-bottom samples during the day and more abundant in surface samples at night. Changes in L. gibbosus density corresponded to changes in light intensity.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
