1 Fishes in the Campus of the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague Lukáš Kalous, Miloslav Petrtýl, Jiří Patoka & Kateřina Rylková Czech University of Life Sciences, Faculty of Agrobiology, Food and Natural Resources, Department of Zoology and Fisheries, Praha 6 - Suchdol, Czech Republic; kalous@af.czu.cz Abstract We present the checklist of fish taxa in the campus of the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague based on the surveys from the period The checklist includes 10 taxa (genus, species) and the current status of found fish in the Czech Republic. Key words: Actinopterygii, fish introduction, human impact, faunistics 1. Introduction The Czech University of Life Sciences Prague is known for its garden like campus. It is situated about 6 km in a beeline north from the historical center of Prague. The campus includes also two small artifitial rectangular reservoirs (Fig. 2a, b). These two small reservoirs attract the attention of many people and they are also suspected to be recipients of various fish species. Introduced fishes are of human origin and they are most likely released by students or staff of the university. Since the campus is open for public it is also visited by many people from surrounding residential areas, especialy parents with small children for whom the feeding of fish is a great attraction. Here we present the list of species cought in two reservoirs during Material and Methods Description of locality Reservoir one is situated in front of the Faculty of Agrobiology, Food and Natural Resources under deciduous trees. The reservoir is equipped with the fountain sculpture in the shape plowed furrow in the middle of water surface. (Fig 2a). The total water area covers about 90 m 2 (6.9 m x 13.0 m) with the maximum depth reaching 80 cm. Reservoir two is situated in front of the Faculty of Engineering and serves also as fire tank (Fig. 2b). The area of water surface is 540 m 2 (30.0 m x 18.0 m) with the maximum depth of 2.5m. 199

Source Přispěvatelé OpenStreetMap Collecting methods Fish samples were collected once by the seine net 10 m long and 3 m high with the mesh size of 2 mm. The three subsequently made hauls in each reservoir took place in June Two persons operated the net from the banks of the reservoirs by guide robes. Further, the hand lift net of an area 1m 2, mesh size of 5 mm was employed irregulary through the time period. Collected individuals were identified directly after catching using the determination characteristics given in Baruš & Oliva (1995) and Kottelat & Freyhof (2007). The conservation status for the Czech Republic of each species was determined following Lusk et al. (2004). Fishes were released back into water after identification. 200

(2004) 4. Conclusions and discussion Although our contribution can be understood somewhat grotesquely, it brings some important information. Firstly, there must be a strong compulsion among people to release live fish to any possible waterbody they meet. Even, we could consider people visiting the university campus as educated ones. Secondly, when the waterbody is more close to the ordinary occurrence of a potential releaser, and more people (potential releasers) roam nearby, the more probable is that uncontrolled release of fish will be realised This is in agreemnet with the work of Copp et al. (2004). Moreover, from all ten species found in the campus reservoirs five of them (half) were non-native and the second half was classified as least concern in regards to their vulnerability. We assume that such finding shows that non-native fish and the more common native ones have either higher probability to be released, or to survive in the new man made environment. Although the abundance of fish is usually higher then a natural food capacity of the artificial waterbodies, the survival of fish is secured by people that provide feeding to fish for their own amusement. Our study is a negligible contribution to fish faunistics but brings alarming evidence of the human uncontrolled fish stocking to waterbodies in densly inhabited areas. 202
