Factors affecting the species composition of fish communities inhabiting sections of the rivers Morava, Dyje, Odra and Lužnice and their adjacent floodplains
Lusk, Stanislav ; Lusková, Věra ; Lojkásek, B. ; Hartvich, P.
The species composition of fish communities was studied in sections of the rivers Morava and Dyje (Black S. basin), Odra (Baltic S.), Lužnice (North S.) with floodplains. The following factors appear to determine the species composition of the ichthyofaunae inhabiting the hydrological regions: Sea basin, location of the section in the longitudinal profile of a stream, absence of migration barriers, presence of fishponds, fishery management. As regards the origin of a community, the pertinence to a basin is of greatest importance and migration from the lower sections. As regards the species richness of ichthyofauna, the region of confluence of the rivers Morava and Dyje is the richest of the whole Czech Republic - 38 native species, 9 of which occur only in that region, 7 alien species was recorded in that region. The region of the Odra R. was found to harbour 29 native and 4 non-native species; that of the Lužnice R., 25 native and 5 non-native fish species and 1 lamprey species .
