Fish Population in Tributaries of Tepla Vltava River

Monitoring of fish populations in tributaries of Tepla Vltava River was performed in 2010. This survey was held in pre-selected localities. The aim was to detect the status of local ichthyofauna in terms of biodiversity, equitability, abundance, dominance and size variation. The results can be used for comparison with future researches at these localities. To catching fish was used the electrofishing. Each section was 200 m long and the electrofishing crew went upstream in entire width of the flow. Caught fish were determined, measured and carefully returned back to the stream. Based on acquired information was evaluated the status of fish populations. All together we have caught 7 fish species and 1 cyclostomes species ? brook lamprey. In terms of dominance took the first place brook trout (average 79 %) followed by the bullhead (12.9 %). Other protected and endangered species were: brook lamprey, fathead minnow and burbot. In terms of biodiversity was on the first place Olšinka (1.07), lowest biodiversity was on the brooks Jedlový, Houženský and Kubohuťský stream, the value of biodiversity was here 0. Highest equitability was calculated on the middle section of the Kaplický stream (0.95). The worst stream was the Jedlový stream. On 200 m long section of this stream occured only 9 pieces of brook trout
