چکیده مقاله:

Classification trees (J48) were induced to predict the habitat requirements of tench (Tinca tinca). 306 datasets were used for the given fish during 8 years in the river basins in Flanders (Belgium). The input variables consisted of the structural-habitat (width, depth, gradient slope and distance from the source) and physic chemical (pH, dissolved oxygen, water temperature and electric conductivity), and the output ones were the abundance and presence/absence of tench. To find the best performance model, a three-fold cross validation was applied on the entire dataset. In order to evaluate the model stability, the dataset were remixed in 5 times, obtaining in total 15 different model training and validation events. The effect of pruning on the reliability and model complexity was tested in each subset. The performance evaluation was based on a combination of the number of Correctly Classified Instances (CCI) and Kappa statistic. The results showed that the predictive performance evaluation was suitable, confirming the reliability of classification trees methods. The overall average of CCI and Kappa for the prediction of tench was obtained 75.8% and 0.53. When analyzing the ecological relevance of classification trees, it seemed that the structural-habitat variables were important predictors compared to physic chemical variables.

Experimental lead nitrate poisoning: microscopic and ultrastructural study of the gills of tench (Tinca tinca, L.).

A microscopic, ultrastructural, and morphometric study was made of the gills of tench (Tinca tinca, L.) subjected to acute experimental lead nitrate poisoning. Twenty-one adult tench were subjected to poisoning and a further 22 were used as controls. Lesions were characterized by the appearance of edema and epithelial hyperplasia and necrosis, both in cells forming part of the filtration barrie...

Fatty acid composition of tench (Tinca tinca L., 1758): A seasonal differentiation

Seasonal variations of proximate compositions and fatty acids of tench (Tinca tinca) captured from Seyhan Dam Lake were investigated. The results showed that seasonal fatty acid compositions of tench fillets in July, August and November ranged from 29.59% to 33.71% for saturated fatty acids (SFA), from 20.50% to 21.69% for monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and from 26.50% to 41.85% for polyun...

Eurasian tench (Tinca tinca): the next Great Lakes invader

A globally invasive fish, Eurasian tench (Tinca tinca) is spreading through the St. Lawrence River and poses an imminent invasion threat to the Great Lakes. Following its illegal release into a tributary of the St. Lawrence River in 1991, tench has spread throughout the river’s main stem over the past decade, and its abundance in commercial fishing bycatch in the river has grown exponentially. ...

Concentrations of Al, B, Ba, Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb and Sr were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) in the Ligula intestinalis plerocercoid (L., 1758), its host tissues (Tinca tinca L., 1758), sediment and water from Beyşehir Lake. Al, Ba, Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb and Sr were highest in sediment, while B was the highest in liver. Al in Ligula intestinalis plerocercoid w...
