Effects of environmental parameters on the distribution of bullhead <em>Cottus gobio</em> with particular consideration of the effects of obstructions (Publications)
parameter that correlated with the density of this species was dissolved organic carbon. 4. Obstructions with a height of 18-20 cm were impassable for upstream movement of bullhead and thus acted as migration [...] of bullhead in the whole river system was determined and all obstructions with a height of at least 10 cm were investigated. In two sites, the total population density of bullhead older than 0 + was assessed [...] ns. For restoration of rivers. it is recommended that any human-made...
