D. Pont et al., LIFE-HISTORY TRAITS OF THE FISH FAUNA OF FRENCH RIVERS - FIRST RESULTS, Bulletin francais de la peche et de la pisciculture, (337-9), 1995, pp. 113-119
Five life-history traits of 34 freshwater fish species widely distribu
ted within the French rivers are examined. Our results are in good agr
eement with the classification of WINEMILLER and ROSE (1992) between e
quilibrium, periodic and opportunistic strategies. Most French fishes
must be considered as periodic strategists.
