CONT

... backwaters that contained higher proportions of large substrates(e. g. gravel and cobble) were most often lotic channels during periods of high flow prior to being sampled as a backwater. Conversely, backwaters containing a high proportion of fine substrates(e. g. silt and sand) were generally lentic throughout the study.

[...] le chenal est une zone de profondeur constante où le courant est modéré à lent. On subdivise les chenaux en deux sous-catégories, le chenal lotique et [le] chenal lentique en fonction de la vitesse du courant, soit entre 20 et 30 cm/s pour le chenal lentique et entre 31 et 50 cm/s pour le chenal lotique.

[The] midwater species... frequents backwaters and pools that are protected from strong currents, similar to conditions found in the lentic channel. Spawning in Oklahoma occurs during late spring to August... and in Missouri from April to early June over sluggish riffles... The lentic channel is not the ghost shiner's primary breeding habitat, but the ghost shiner's use of this habitat is consistent with its usual ecological niche...

Certaines espèces de poissons par exemple ne vont se développer que dans un seul type de faciès (ainsi la perche fluviatile, poisson pélagique qui affectionne les zones profondes à courant lent, se cantonnera aux faciès mouilles ou chenaux lentiques). D'autres vont avoir besoin de deux ou trois types de faciès différents dans leur territoire (c'est le cas du barbeau fluviatile qui se déplace au cours de la journée entre les faciès plats et radiers où il se nourrit, et les faciès mouilles ou chenaux lentiques où il se repose).
