Abstract
We propose a new evaluation procedure of fish habitats by considering the environmental preference with four behavioral modes (feeding, resting, hiding, spawning) and considering the fish home range. The procedure is applied to Furukou River, Yamaguchi Pref., in which restoration work is going on. The calculated fish distribution by this procedure successfully reproduces the observed fish distribution, whereas a method without behavioral modes fails to reproduce it. By using this procedure, we can evaluate the importance of the combination of pools and rapids, which we could not evaluate properly before.
