Mann, R. H. K. (1996). Environmental requirements of European non-salmonid fish in rivers. Hydrobiologia. 323:223-235.
There is much evidence to show that the bottlenecks to recruitment in many non- salmonid fish populations relate principally to spawning success and to the growth and survival rates of newly-hatched larvae (Mills & Mann, 1985). This review deals with these parts of the life-cycle, together with the habitat requirements of adult fishes and the wider aspects of fish community structure. The review concentrates on the most common European species, especially those that are of commercial or angling importance (Table 1). However, data on habitat requirements are available for only some of these 32 species.
