In natural European waters, the congeneric monogeneans Gyrodactylus derjavini Mikailov, 1975 and G. salaris Malmberg, 1957 are primarily found on brown trout Salmo trutta L. and Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L., respectively. Interestingly, rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum), originating from North America, is as susceptible as brown trout to G. derjavini. However, the mechanisms involv...

Trout fishing means raising fish in water whose temperature does not exceed +18°C under completely or partially artificial conditions. Today, several belonging to the salmon family are bred cold fisheries world. These river trout (Rainbow - Oncorhynchus mykiss ), brook (Brown Salmo trutta and brown (Brook Salvelinus fontinalis ). Currently, breeding dominates global production. Its cultivation ...

The Caspian trout is an endangered and quite vulnerable fish, considered for a natural protection program in the southern area of the Caspian Sea. Copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO-NPs) are toxic substances, which induce oxidative stress, not to mention other pathophysiological states. The toxicity of nanoparticles on fish needs more characterization for short- and long-term effects.  Thus, the p...

—We assessed habitat availability and habitat use by subadult cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarki and brown trout Salmo trutta during a four-stage flow manipulation in the Shoshone River, Wyoming, to determine how the physical characteristics of a medium-size river and the habitat use and movement patterns of subadult trout change in response to declining discharge. Discharge was reduced from 2...

1. Native parasite acquisition provides introduced species with the potential to modify native host-parasite dynamics by acting as parasite reservoirs (with the 'spillback' of infection increasing the parasite burdens of native hosts) or sinks (with the 'dilution' of infection decreasing the parasite burdens of native hosts) of infection. 2. In New Zealand, negative correlations between the pre...

Blood is a site of physiological transport for a great variety of molecules, including xenobiotics. Blood cells in aquatic vertebrates, such as fish, are directly exposed to aquatic pollution. P-gp are ubiquitous "membrane detoxification proteins" implicated in the cellular efflux of various xenobiotics, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which may be pollutants. The existence of ...

The diel partitioning of juvenile brown trout Salmo trutta foraging behaviour is controlled by a number of factors including predation risk, competition, temperature and food availability. The present study uses PIT-tagging and visual observation to asses the use of shelter and foraging behaviour of Danish wild juvenile brown trout (13.5–15.6 cm). The experiment was conducted in a fluvarium and...

Freshwater fish populations often exist in systems characterized by novel ecological processes resulting from human alteration. Salmonid embedded within coldwater sections of warmwater rivers are spatially constrained habitat availability. Tailwater contend with fluctuating river discharges and density-dependent associated stocking exploitation. sustained through versus natural reproduction may...

Caspian trout (Salmo trutta caspius Kessler, 1877) is an endemic migratory subspecies in the Caspian Sea, possessing ecologic-economic and biodiversity greatly value. Among habitat factors, temperature and its possible effects on the Caspian trout genome were considered in this research. During Embryonic developmental stages (fertilization–hatching), genomic alterations of single cells were ass...
