Mesohabitat Spawning Preference of the Anadromous Twaite Shad (Alosa fallax, Lacépède 1803) in the Tagliamento River (Italy)

Ecohydrology, Volume 18, Issue 1, January‐February 2025.
ABSTRACT Alosa fallax (Lacépède, 1803) is an anadromous fish which utilizes European rivers for spawning. As many anadromous species, Twaite shad populations are declining due to river damming and hydromorphological alterations, which impact their spawning sites. In this study, we developed mesohabitat suitability criteria for the spawning period of A.

We show that the space of Euclid's parameters for Pythagorean triples is endowed with a natural symplectic structure and that it emerges as a spinor space of the Clifford algebra $\mathbb{R}_{2,1}$, whose minimal version may be conceptualized as a 4 ...
