A proximate cue for oviposition site choice in the bitterling (Rhodeus sericeus).
Original language description
We investigated two possible proximate cues used for oviposition site choice by females of the bitterling (Rhodeus sericeus), a freshwater fish that spawns on the gills of live unionid mussels. The two cues were the flow velocity and/or oxygen content ofwater emerging from the exhalant siphon of a mussel. Field observations showed that female bitterling always inspected the exhalant siphons of mussels before they spawned in them. Siphon inspection was not always a prelude to spawning and it may serve as a means of assessing mussel quality. Female skimming behaviour, swimming over a mussel without spawning, may also be used to assess mussel quality, although the mechanism for this is unclear.
