摘要： Results from previous research suggested that geomorphic characteristics may be important controlling factors among other microhabitat variables for spawning fish. We investigated the bedform morphology of seven spawning areas (five historic and two present spawning areas) of Chinese sturgeon (Acipenser sinensis) by analysis of relief maps of the riverbed and by field surveys. We conclude that the topographic characteristics of the spawning areas include rocky or gravelly substrate river bend, large variations in water depth and river width and a slope with moderate length and slope. The turning structure and the adverse slope may be the most important topographic characteristics for the spawning areas. Combined with the reproductive occurrence of the fish in these spawning areas, we tentatively propose a bedform morphology hypothesis for the spawning areas. We consider that a spawning area of A. sinensis should consist of three functional areas: Mating area (M), Dispersal area (D) and Incubation area (I). M, D and I are distributed along the water current and their bedform characteristics are clearly different. M is the place for mature fish to mate and spawn. It is usually below a riffle with rolling terrain. D is the place for fertilizing and dispersing fertilized eggs. It is usually in a river bend with sharp variations in terrain, such as deep pools or steep slopes. I is the place for dispersal of fertilized eggs. It is usually in long point bars or broad shallow areas with rocky substrate. This hypothesis could serve as a guideline for improving the present spawning areas or constructing new spawning areas, so as to rehabilitate the wild stock of the sturgeon.
