    Local factors affecting winter habitat use of non-native rainbow trout in a boreal stream in northern Japan

    Despite its potential use for population control, the winter ecology of nonnative fishes is still poorly understood due to the difficulty of conducting field surveys. In this study, we investigated the winter ...

    Mass immigration of juvenile fishes into a small, once-dried tributary demonstrates the importance of remnant tributaries as wintering habitats

    The winter ecology of stream fishes is still poorly understood, especially in non-salmonid species. A small tributary (<4 m in width, <1 km in length) of the Otofuke River (central Hokkaido, northern Japan) de...

    Hybridization between native white-spotted charr and nonnative brook trout in the upper Sorachi River, Hokkaido, Japan

    Invasion status and impacts of nonnative brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) in a Hokkaido stream were investigated with field surveys and genetic analyses. Nonnative brook trout was detected in nine (41 %) of th...

    Does the Refuge Availability Influence the Spawning Behavior of Mature Male Parr in Salmonids? A Test in the Miyabe Charr

    In many salmon and charr, both 'migratory males' and 'precocious males' are maintained as alternative life-histories within a population. During breeding, precocious males gather around the mating pair of migr...
