Reproduction & Recovery - Energetics Iteroparity & Semelparity

  • Iteroparity- (perennial) reproduces

more than once.

  • Semelparity- (annual) reproduces only
  • nce.

Crespi, B.J. and R. Teo. 2002. Comparative phylogenetic analysis

  • f the evolution of semelparity and life history in salmonid fishes.

Evolution 56(5). 1008-1020.

  • Which strategy evolved first?
  • Lower degree of repeat breeding linked

to higher reproductive investment.

  • Tradeoff between high juvenile survival

and adult survival…at least in salmonids.

Energy & Reproduction

  • Evolution of diadromy (anadromy,

catadromy, amphidromy)

  • Energy investment
  • Lifetime reproductive fitness

Anadromous vs. Resident

  • Why do you think some salmonid

populations have both anadromous & resident individuals within the same population?

populations have both anadromous & resident individuals within the same population?

“All juveniles do not grow & accumulate [energy] equally in freshwater due to differences in genetics & environment.” “Get a fish fat enough and it won’t move because the need has been quelled. In contrast, a hungry fish will move as far as necessary to get fat.” J.R. McMillan

Costs of Reproduction

  • Gonadal maturation
  • It costs more to build eggs than sperm
  • Migration
  • Fasting
  • Competition
  • Guarding

Post-spawning

  • Semelparity = no recovery
  • Iteroparity = energy replacement via

feeding

  • Gonadal recrudescence (renewed

activity)

Rideout, R.M., and Tomkiewicz. 2011. Skipped spawning in fishes: More common than you might think. Marine and Coastal Fisheries Dynamics, Management, and Ecosystem Science 3:176-189.

  • Consecutive (annual) vs. skipped spawning

Reasons for skip spawning:

  • 1. Sterility
  • 2. Intersex (when it is not supposed to be)
  • 3. Disease, parasites, etc.
  • 4. Physiologically & energetically not ready

Skipped Spawning & Population Dynamics

  • Not accounting for skipped spawners

could result in a overestimation of annual production (4 - 41%).

  • Adjusting the SSB for skipped spawners

in Atlantic cod did not improve the stock- recruitment relationship.

  • Why?

Physiology of Spawning & Recovery in Snake River Steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Steelhead

  • Anadromous
  • Iteroparous
  • Degree of iteroparity

is highly variable (<1.0% to >70%)

  • In Snake River <2.0%

Steelhead Kelt Research

  • Conservation tool
  • Increase gene flow
  • Reconditioning
  • Historically low?

Energy Use & Recovery

Goal: Evaluate how much energy & what type of energy is used during reproduction.

  • Where is the bulk of energy used?
  • How much energy remains?
  • What is the physiological capacity for

recovery?

Reproduction vs Feeding

  • Many species, not just migratory fish reduce

feeding at the time of reproduction

  • Steelhead studies showed GI stasis and lack of

structure for absorption at the time of maturity.
