摘要
During 1978-1989, the egg-masses deposited by females along isobathic transects at a number of sites in Lochaber Lake, Nova Scotia, were counted. During 1984-1987, egg-masses were removed from one of the sites in the lake during the spawning seasons. There was a statistically significant reduction in the proportion of egg-masses deposited within the boundaries of the site from which the egg-masses were removed. Analysis strongly suggests that the model of perch spawning behaviour which assumes that any perch selects a spawning site independently of its natal site may be rejected. This result provides additional support for the hypothesis that yellow perch exhibit demic behaviour. -from Authors
