Abstract
During watershed colonisation by catadromous species, two main phases have been identified: tidal estuary crossing and non-tidal river colonisation. Fishes use selective tidal-stream transport (STST) during the first phase of this colonisation, and counter-current swimming during the second phase. Therefore, catadromous species have to achieve a behavioural shift, from STST to constant counter-current swimming. This has not yet been observed, and the location and period of this shift is still unknown. Our experimental protocol aimed to mimic the spatial progression of crossing the tidal limit within a 3-week experiment. Two catadromous fishes, thinlip mullets and European eels, were initially subjected to current reversal every 6.2 h during the first week. A gradual tidal distortion was performed during the second week, and fishes were submitted to a unidirectional water current during the third week. Our results reveal that all catadromous species use STST as far as possible within the tidal limit. At this point, in this experimental study, no young-of-the-year (YOY) fishes shifted from STST to constant counter-current swimming. This confirms that the behavioural shift occurs later, and that the second part of the upstream migration, counter-current progression, is performed by larger, older fishes and not YOY fishes.
