Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been monitored in perch (Perca fluviatilis), pike (Esox lucius), and Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) in reference lakes since the late 1960s. Temporal trends and spatial patterns are currently monitored in nine and 32 lakes, respectively. Overall, PCB concentrations are decreasing. However, this is not consistent for all congeners across all lakes and spec...

The habitat selected by northern pike, Esox lucius, a solitary top aquatic predator, was evaluated using radio location and ultrasonic telemetry. These predators moved extensively throughout the lake and exhibited a distinct preference for shallow vegetated areas close to shore. Selection of habitat was significantly influenced by meteorological factors. On windy days pike chose habitats which ...

During the last decades, non-native predatory fish species have been largely introduced in European lakes and rivers, calling for detailed information on the trophic ecology of co-existing native and non-native predators. The present study describes the trophic ecology of the introduced pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) in two southwestern French rivers, using stable isotope analysis. Pikeperch cou...

In welcher Form das modern anmutende Konzept der individuellen Selbstbestimmung bereits in Antike Betrachtung fand, wird an Apuleius’ Roman Metamorphosen untersucht.

Abstract Public green spaces are very important in the urban structure, both on environmental and social level. Renovation may be necessary, but process must involve complexity. The objective of this research is to define main criteria a successful renovation process, using two case studies - Lucius-Burckhardt-Platz Kassel, Germany, ‘Parku i lodrave’ city Peja, Kosovo, where recent intervention...

Abstract The aim of this research is to compare the average individual weight four most important fish species in fisheries ( Cyprinus carpio, Silurus glanis, Esox lucius and Sander lucioperca ), caught by angling different parts Sava River catchment Croatia. Significant differences were expressed between counties along catchment, with smallest specimens (p˂0.05) Vukovar-Sirmium county. Artisan...
