Rudd (Scardinius Erythrophthalmus) Introduced to the Iberian Peninsula: Feeding Ecology in Lake Banyoles
Hydrobiologia 436: 159–164, 2000. 159 © 2000 Kluwer Academic Publishers. Printed in the Netherlands. Rudd (Scardinius erythrophthalmus) introduced to the Iberian peninsula: feeding ecology in Lake Banyoles Emili Garc´ıa-Berthou & Ramon Moreno-Amich Departament de Ci`encies Ambientals & Institut d’Ecologia Aqu`atica, Universitat de Girona, E-17071 Girona, Catalonia, Spain Phone: +34 972 418 467. Fax: +34 972 418 150. E-mail: [email protected] Received in revised form 10 March 2000; accepted 20 June 2000 Key words: cyprinid fish, rudd, Scardinius erythrophthalmus, food, diet Abstract The first data on the ecology of rudd (Scardinius erythrophthalmus) introduced to the Iberian peninsula are presen- ted. The habitat and diet variation of rudd were studied in Lake Banyoles (Spain), an oligotrophic karstic lake dominated by exotic fish species. Rudd were strictly littoral and the diet was based on detritus and plant material. The most important animal prey were the cladocerans Daphnia longispina and Scapholeberis rammneri, amphi- pods and several late stages of nematoceran dipterans. Rudd were more zooplanktivorous in spring and autumn and less in summer. There was also a size-dependent diet shift, from microcrustaceans to macroinvertebrates. The diet of rudd was also distinguished by the importance of plant material and various small neustonic invertebrates, particularly S. rammneri and late stages of nematocerans, showing a strong resource partitioning with other fish species. The degree of herbivory in Lake Banyoles was lower than usual. Introduction or early 20th and since the 1980s are expanding their distribution (Burkhead & Williams, 1991), though Rudd (Scardinius erythrophthalmus) are medium- their interactions with native species remain unknown sized cyprinid fish native to freshwaters of Europe and (Easton et al., 1993). -

Identification key for Austrian freshwater fishes This identification key should only be used for fishes from Austrian freshwaters. This key will possibly not work for fishes from other European countries. Nobody is perfect – schon gar nicht ein Bestimmungsschlüssel. Ein Bestimmungsschlüssel baut auf charakteristischen Merkmalen auf, er vereinfacht und kann keinen Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit erheben. Auch dieser Bestimmungsschlüssel ist nur ein Versuch ein komplexes System in einen übersichtliche Form zu bringen. Die Natur sieht aber oft anders aus. Die Bandbreite an Merkmalen ist bei vielen Arten groß. Manche Populationen sind an unterschiedliche Umweltbedingungen angepasst und bilden unterscheidbare ökologische Formen. Andere Populationen sind isoliert und einige davon sind systematisch noch ungenügend erforscht. Möglicherweise taucht ja in Österreich noch die eine oder andere neue Art auf.

BOSTON: WRIGHT & POTTER, STATE PRINTERS, 19 Province Street. 1 8 73. CmnmomDcaltl) of itlassadjiisctts. Boston, Mass., June 4, 1873. To the Hon. George B. Loring, President of the Senate. Sir .-—The Trustees of the Museum of Comparative Zoology have the honor to present to the Legislature the Annual Report of the Director, for the past year, marked [A]. The paper marked [B] contains a list of the Trustees, offi- cers and committees for 1873. Respectfully submitted, for the Trustees, MARTIN BRIMMER, Secretary. 4 COMPARATIVE ZO-OLOGY. [June, [A.] REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE MUSEUM OE COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY, For the Year 1872. It gives me the greatest pleasure to state that my absence, though extended to nearly a year, has not in the slightest degree interfered with the progress of the Museum. Mr. Cary, the Superintendent, has directed the business of our Institution with so much ability, forethought and diligence, anticipating and providing for the needs of each working department, that there have been no unnecessary delays or interruptions. His special Report contains the details of his administration. The scientific officers of the Museum have shown the utmost zeal and fidelity, carrying on the work of the separate laboratories so efficiently that I can truly say the results of the year have far exceeded my most sanguine expectations. There is one inference to be drawn from this statement which is of great importance, though few perhaps can value it as highly as Ido myself.
