the one year old pike
(einsömmerige Hechte) still
need brood care (Brutpflege)
and should only be stocked
together with older pike
(mehrsömmerige Hechte)
the pike (Hechte) should be
stocked individually and
distributed across the water

they are the preferred locations
of fish (bevorzugte Standplätze)
they are avoided by fish (von
Fischen gemieden)
86
3.096
A
A structurally diverse running water
(strukturreiches Fließgewässer)
provides a habitat
(Lebensraum) for many fish
and small animal species at a
high population density (bei
hoher Individuendichte)
has the same ecological value as
a canal with a concrete bed
(Fließkanal mit betonierter
Sohle)
should be redesigned to
make it monotonous
(monoton umgestaltet) and
thus more suitable for a
larger variety of fish and
small animal species (vieler
Fisch- und Kleintierarten)
3.097

natural river banks
(natürliche
Uferbeschaffenheit)
3.099
A

embankments (Uferbegradigung /
Längsverbau) affect the fish population
in a running water?
as the habitat becomes more
monotonous, there is usually
a reduction in the variety of
fish species and a reduction
in the fish population
(Verringerung der Fischarten
und der Anzahl der
Individuen)
it has no effect on the fish
population (keinen Einfluss)
as the habitat becomes more
structurally diverse
(strukturreich), there is an
increase in the variety and
numbers of rare fish species
(seltene Fischarten in großer
Anzahl)
3.100
B
How may transverse structures, such as
weirs (Querbauwerke, z.B. Wehre)
affect the fish population in a running
water?
they have no effect on the
fish population (keinen
Einfluss)
they isolate the fish population
and prevent spawning
migrations (verhindern die

they make spawning
migrations easier (fördern
Laichwanderungen)
87
3.101
C
What is the effect of weirs (Wehre)
when they are located at short
distances from each other in a running
water?
they make it easier for fish to
migrate to their spawning
grounds (Möglichkeit der
Laichwanderungen)
because of the longer retention
period (Verweildauer), the
water quality improves
(Verbesserung der
Wasserqualität)
they reduce the flow velocity
(verlangsamen die
Fließgeschwindigkeit), the
bottom of the water body
becomes muddy and gravel
spawning grounds
(Kieslaichplätze) are lost
3.102
B

dam regulation in running waters
(staugeregelten Fließgewässer) have on
plant and animal life?
a limited food supply
(geringes Nahrungsangebot)
a frequent change in water
levels (Änderung des
Wasserstandes)
a cooling of the water in
winter (Abkühlung im Winter)
3.103
A
A hydropeaking power plant
(Wasserkraftwerk im Schwellbetrieb)
is harmful, as - amongst
other things - the spawning
pits near the river banks dry
out (Laichgruben der Fische
im Uferbereich trocken
fallen)
has no effect on fish and fish
food organisms (Fischnährtiere)
is beneficial, as the fish can
rest during the storage
periods (Stauphasen)
3.104
B
How is the fish fauna affected by the
increase in temperature that results
from the discharge of cooling water by
industrial plants and power stations
(Kühlwassereinleitung aus
Industrieanlagen und Heizkraftwerken)?
it is not affected, as the
spawning season of the
typical fish species (Laichzeit
gewässertypischer
Fischarten) does not depend
on the water temperature
the development of cold-loving
fish may be harmed
(kälteliebender Fischarten
schädigen)
the development of heatloving fish may be harmed
(wärmeliebender Fischarten
schädigen)
88
3.105
A
How are migratory fish species
(Wanderfischarten) affected by the
dams of water power plants (Stauwehre
von Wasserkraftanlagen)?
negatively, as they usually
make the running water less
passable (Durchgängigkeit
des Fließgewässers
verschlechtern)
not noticeably affected
(unbedeutend)
positively, as valuable
habitats (wertvolle
Lebensräume) may develop
in the sections immediately
upstream and downstream
from the barrage (im Oberund Unterwasser von
Staustufen)
3.106
B
What is described by the fishery term
“passability” (Durchgängigkeit) of

Wehre)
river bank reinforcement
(Uferblocksteine)
3.108
B

(Wiederherstellung der
Durchgängigkeit) in running waters
usually results in:
an increase in plant cover
(Verbesserung des
Pflanzenbewuchses)

of the fish fauna (Verbesserung
der Lebensraumbedingungen)
no improvements from a
fisheries point of view (keine
Verbesserung)
3.109
A
What are fish ladders (Fischtreppen) or
fishways (Fischpässe)?

angler access to angling sites
(Angelplätzen)
preferred routes for fish
migration in unregulated
running waters
(Fischwanderungen in
unverbauten Fließgewässern)
89
3.110
C
What measures should be taken at
hydroelectric power plants
(Wasserkraftwerken) with regard to fish
biology?
no special measures are
necessary, as water power is
an environmentally friendly
technology
(umweltfreundliche
Technologie)
the plant operator should
regularly remove all fish from
the water body before
damming the water (vor dem
Stau abfischen)
safety guards should be put
in front of the turbine inlet
(Schutzvorrichtungen vor
dem Turbineneinlass) to
prevent fish from entering
3.111
C
Why should running waters be passable
(durchgängig) from the point of view of
fish biology?
because it increases the
distribution of the beaver
(Verbreitungsgebiet des
Bibers)
because canoeists (Kanufahrer)
are asking for it
because many fish species
migrate upstream or
downstream to their
spawning grounds
(Laichgebieten)
3.112
A
What should be taken into
consideration, from the point of view of
fish biology, when small ditches are
dredged regularly (ditch cleaning)
(Grabenräumung)?
they should not be dredged
in their entire length
(entlandet werden), as
islands remaining in the
watercourse encourage the
recolonization of small
animals and small fish
species (Wiederbesiedlung
mit Kleintieren und
Kleinfischarten)
they should be dredged as fast
as possible in their entire length
(in ihrer gesamte Länge
entlandet werden), as this is the
only efficient way
they should not be dredged,
pipes should be layed instead
(generell verohrt werden)
3.113
B
Fisheries require the passability of
running waters (Durchgängigkeit von
Fließgewässern), because
nutrients and pollutants
(Nähr- und Giftstoffe) are
dispatched faster and more
effectively
without it there is a depletion in
biodiversity (Verarmung der
Artenvielfalt)
otherwise leisure craft
(Sportbootverkehr) are
impeded
90
3.114
B
Measures which restore water bodies
to their intact natural state
(renaturation) (Renaturierung) mainly
aim to
facilitate water body
management
(Bewirtschaftung des
Gewässers)
protect the species
(Artenschutz) and maintain
species diversity (Artenvielfalt)
increase recreational use
(Freizeitnutzung)
3.115
A
Do structural elements which are
artificially introduced into a water body
to encourage spawning (Laichhilfen)
have a positive effect?
yes, if the water body is
(Strukturarmut) and there
are not enough natural
spawning grounds (Mangel
an natürlichen Laichplätzen)
no, they rot and contaminate
the water body with putrefiable
substances (fäulnisfähigen
Stoffen)
no, they are never accepted
by the fish (nicht
angenommen)
3.116
B
Which of the following is a suitable
renaturation measure in running waters
(Renaturierung von Fließgewässern)?
the construction of a
transverse structure
(Querbauwerk) to raise the
water level

Artenreichtum)
a paved river bed
(Sohlpflasterung) that allows
current-loving fish to migrate
3.117
C

be seen as positive from the point of
habitat, as well as a breeding
ground for many species of
view of fish biology?
fish and small animals
(Fortpflanzungs- und
Aufwuchsareal für viele
Fisch- und Kleintierarten)
no, because this is where fish
are most easily caught by fish
eating birds (fischfressende
Vögel)

fish like to spend the winter
(überwintern)
A
The structure of a regulated running
water (ausgebautes Fließgewässer) is to
be improved with a scattering of large

around the stones and this
results in a varied bottom
substrate (vielfältige
Sortierung des
Bodensubstrats)
the stones can be used as
stepping stones by anglers
(dienen als Tritt)
there is no benefit, as the
stones get in the way of
migrating fish (wanderaktive
