Dear Colleagues,
Having received no answer about the following message, I send it once again and for all.
We are testing models simulating fish population dynamics according to demographic strategies (age-dependant fecundity, survival rates and dispersion). We are using theoretical values approximating brown trout and grayling strategies, short living species in the temperate zone. However, we would be happy to get support from actual field data. We would need (aged) size-class structures of salmonid species in several sections (main channel and tributaries) from a same system, if possible in relation with stream order, and, always if possible, before and after river network partitionning by dam. An interesting data set might be a single species in three sections (upstream and downstream from a dam, and in a tributary upstream) providing six histograms: three before and three after partitionning. More complex data would be of interest. Other riverine short living species, either salmonid or not, might be used provided that their biology is well documented. Such kind of data often stays in grey litterature, but already published ones would be appreciated, of course.
With many thanks for any help,
Henri,
