dc.description.abstract | Nest site selection by male fathead minnows was examined by placing artificial nest sites of three sizes at three depths and on two sides of a pond. Structure size and side of the pond were important predictors of structure use as nests. Northern nest sites were used more than southern sites; structures of 100 and 200 cm2 were used more than those of 50 cm2. There was no differential use of structures between 0.25 and 1 m. Finally, other site preferences and alternative mating strategies are implicated. Understanding nest site selection may be important to optimize breeding of commercially important or biologically interesting species. | en_US |
