| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aims to evaluate the effects on instream obstructions on populations of ecologically-vulnerable benthic fishes (e.g., freshwater sculpins) with low mobility based on ecological and conservation genetic approaches, and to propose river management implications to consider their ecological features. Results of mark-and-recapture surveys revealed that a weir with 80 cm height prevented individual sculpins to ascend weir. Genetic population structure analysis, based on 15 microsatellite DNA markers, indicated a presence of wear, but statistically significant genetic population structure along a stream course. To conserve spatial connectivity along a stream course for such ecologically-vulnerable benthic fishes, setting a ramp to mitigate the height of instream obstructions, setting simple fishways to assist individual fish passing by instream obstructions, and enrichment of instream habitat quality divided by instream obstructions, are considered as valid management implications.
