Novel operational index reveals rapid recovery of genetic connectivity in freshwater fish species after riverine restoration

چکیده
Hyperfragmentation of rivers by anthropogenic barriers is a major threat to biodiversity. Restoration policies are being adopted worldwide mitigate these impacts, particularly those on fish connectivity. We assessed the utility novel genetic index fragmentation, FINDEX, monitoring real-time responses two genera restoration operations at 11 weirs in France. The FINDEX outperformed traditional tools, detecting more efficiently, and thereby improving estimates recovery connectivity following restoration. Most had significant impacts before restoration, especially highest steepest ones. actions systematically improved connectivity, sometimes completely just few months, with an overall halving fragmentation levels. Our study demonstrates that current recovering practitioners may benefit from as new operational tool assess barrier strength for nonmigratory organisms plan monitor riverine

متن کاملSpecies identification reveals mislabeling of important fish products in Iran by DNA barcoding
This study reports on the molecular identification of fish species from processed products which had a priori been classified as belonging to 5 important species in Iran for human consumption. DNA barcoding using direct sequencing of an approximately 650bp of mitochondrial Cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene revealed incorrect labeling of Narrow-barred Spanish mackerel samples. High occurre...

متن کاملBehavioural thermoregulation in two freshwater fish species.
In the presence of a vertical thermal gradient, juvenile three-spined sticklebacks Gasterosteus aculeatus and minnows Phoxinus phoxinus positioned themselves higher in the water column compared with adult conspecifics. This result was consistent regardless of whether age cohorts were tested separately or together. Furthermore, juveniles but not adult fishes positioned themselves higher in water...

Parasitic diseases are harmful and limiting factors in breeding and rearing ornamental fish industry. In this study, 400 apparently healthy ornamental fishes from five species (each species 80 specimens) including: Goldfish (Carassius auratus), guppy (Poecilia reticulate), angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare), discus (Symphsodon discus) and sailfin molli...
