The feeding habits of the peacock wrasse, Symphodus (Crenilabrus) tinca (Linnaeus, 1758), from the southern coast of Tunisia were investigated with respect to fish size and season. Stomach contents of 1334 specimens, 8.1-23.1 cm total length, were analyzed. Of the total, 1166 were empty (87.4%). This percentage varied over the year, with a maximum during the spawning period (MayJuly) and minimu...

The aim of this work was to present a preliminary knowledge of the parasitic copepods of marine fish of Turkey. In this study, four parasitic crustaceans were reported from five different fish species found in Turkish seas: Lepeophtheirus europaensis (Zeddam, Berrebi, Renaud, Raibaut & Gabrion, 1988) was found on the gills of the European flounder, Platichtys flesus (Linnaeus, 1758 (Pleuronecti...

In his influential Account of the English Colony in New South Wales (1804:354), the deputy judge-advocate David Collins (1756-1810) dismissed claims by an 'eminent divine, that no country has yet been discovered where some trace of religion was not to be found' and pronounced the Aborigines of Port Jackson free of any trace of a religious state or knowledge: 'It is certain, that they do not wor...

In this study we examine differences in the occurrence of life history stages of the destructive fish ectoparasite Argulus foliaceus (L., 1758) on eight fish species (stickleback, rudd, roach, gudgeon, bream, tench, crucian carp and common carp) sampled from a mixed-species recreational fishing lake on nine occasions during late spring and summer. Total numbers ofA. foliaceus, as well as the nu...

The influence of hypoxia upon the heart rate and the rate and amplitude of breathing in the tench has been reported by Randall & Shelton (1963). Satchell (1961) demonstrated that dogfish respond to anoxia by decreasing heart rate, temporarily increasing dorsal aortic blood pressure and increasing the mean and pulse pressure in the ventral aorta. These fish were restrained and anaesthetized. In ...
