RESUMO

The environmental and ecological issues in the flow-reduced river reach are very serious and are receiving increasingly attention. In this study, we investigate the temporal and spatial changes in Delta 13C and Delta 15N of Periphyton and isotopic relationship between Periphyton and the endangered fish [Ayu, Plecoglossus altivelis] in a flow-reduced river reach in Japan. Much of the spatial and temporal variation in Delta 13C of endangered fish was explained by variation in Periphyton, indicating a strong link between primary production and higher order consumers. The Periphyton Delta 13C was correlated with current velocity while it was not correlated with the Periphyton biomass [Chl. a]. Spatially, the relatively high Delta 13C and Delta 15N of Periphyton in the lower sites of the flow-reduced river reach might be due to high level of anthropogenically derived N and C introduced from the surrounding agricultural activities and human settings. The trophic position of the endangered fish in was estimated to be 1.5-2.2[1.8 +/- 0.3], which agrees with the previous stomach content analysis suggesting that the ayu mainly feed on Periphyton
