We examined the effects of woody debris on the growth and behaviour of brown trout (Salmo trutta) in experimental stream channels. Two types of habitat were used in the study: a complex habitat created by placing woody debris on a gravel bed and a uniform habitat consisting of a gravel bed only. The experiment was run both outdoors with wild fish that fed on natural invertebrate drift and indoors with hatchery fish that were fed artificial food. In both treatments most of the fish lost mass. In all trials, however, the fish in the woody debris channel lost less mass than the fish in the control channel. Study of the fishes' behaviour revealed less swimming activity, less aggression, and less feeding activity in the woody debris channel than in the control channel. The results of this study indicate that the presence of woody debris decreases intraspecific competition through visual isolation, allowing fish to reduce aggressive interactions and energy expenditure.

Resistance of erythrocytes from Brown trout (Salmo trutta m. trutta L.) affected by ulcerative dermal necrosis syndrome In the present work we evaluated the effect of ulcerative dermal necrosis (UDN) syndrome on resistance of erythrocytes to haemolytic agents and lipid peroxidation level in the blood from brown trout (Salmo trutta m. trutta L.). Results showed that lipid peroxidation increased in erythrocytes, as evidenced by high thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) levels. Compared to control group, the resistance of erythrocytes to haemolytic agents was significantly lower in UDN-positive fish. Besides, UDN increased the percent of hemolysated erythrocytes subjected to the hydrochloric acid, urea and hydrogen peroxide. Results showed that UDN led to an oxidative stress in erythrocytes able to induce enhanced lipid peroxidation level, as suggested by TBARS level and decrease of erythrocytes resistance to haemolytic agents.
