The effect of water level changes on the density of newly hatched European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus (L.)) larvae in unregulated and regulated lakes
, , and
There was no association between water level variables and the density of newly hatched whitefish larvae or egg survival. Neither was the average larval density in the regulated lakes generally lower than that in the non-regulated lake. Thus, moderate water level regulation does not drive whitefish population dynamics directly by negatively affecting the life stage from spawning to hatching.
