Connections between microhabitat factors and dimensions of brown trout (Salmo trutta) redds

2017

This study is part of a process of habitat restoration and management of Finnish and Swedish rivers. This study was conducted to analyse detailed and generalised data regarding microhabitat factors and dimensions of spawning redd of brown trout (salmo trutta). The objectives of this study were to analyse connections between redd dimensions, connections between redd length and microhabitat factors and to analyse the variability of redd length and microhabitat factors among catchments in order to understand spawning habitat selectivity of brown trout (salmo trutta). The study shows that the redd dimensions are positively and strongly correlated. Redd length is weakly correlated to microhabita…
