| Research Abstract |
In order to obtain the basic information to apply the IFIM/PHABSIM into Japanese streams, (1) literature surveys on fish habitat in Japanese streams, (2) field surveys on fish habitat in some streams, (3) development of habitat suitability curves based on literature and field data, (4) evaluation of the suitability curves by the one-way chi-square test, (5) field experiment on the downstream migration process of the alevin of Ayu, and (6) field survey on fish over-wintering place in a long-term changed stream have been carried out. The results are summarized as follows :
(1) Only a few literatures for Japanese fishes are available to apply directly to PHABSIM,except on spawning stage. (2) the combination of literature-based suitability curve and PHABSIM can well explain the observed distribution of some fish. (3) the downstream migration process can be treated mainly as a dispersion of suspended solids. (4) the mid-to large-sized fish seems to prefer the historically steady pools where riprap-like micro habitat is installed.
