The population biomass, fishing mortality dynamics and reference points of the rational exploitation Black-Azov sea shad during period 2004-2020 were evaluated using JABBA surplus production model in “catch-only” version. IUU estimation preliminary parametrization by CMSY was performed to improve assessment accuracy. According output, stock biomass interval 1315-1341 t, range 0,03-0,38. During ...

—The physiological responses of juvenile American shad Alosa sapidissima were evaluated during the period of downstream migration in freshwater (FW) and after seawater (SW) acclimation associated with postmigration. Fish were subjected to a standardized, acute handling and confinement stress (3 h). Changes in plasma cortisol, plasma chloride, and hematocrit were monitored for 24 h. Basal levels...

Post-Soviet legal governance regime of Caspian Sea e the largest inland body of water on earth e remains a source of conflict among the five coastal states of Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Turkmenistan. Although different division methods have been suggested for sharing the sea and its valuable resources, the actual gain of the countries is unclear as the proposed methods focus eith...

Numerous studies throughout North America allege deleterious associations among invasive Asian Carp and native fishes; however, no empirical evidence on a system-wide scale exists. We used Mississippi River Basin fish community data collected by the Long Term Resource Monitoring program and the Missouri Department of Conservation to evaluate possible interaction between Asian Carp and native fi...

INTRODUCTION The sturgeons of the Caspian Sea are considered highly valuable species. The Caspian Sea has traditionally been regarded as the sea of sturgeon since it produces more than 90 percent of the world’s caviar. Despite a remarkable decline of sturgeon numbers over recent years, the Caspian Sea still continues to be of considerable importance in sturgeon fisheries. In 1997, the global la...

Abstract The timing of entry into freshwater by mature anadromous fishes is an important component their migration phenology. In iteroparous species, identifying the cues that influence freshwater, and annual variability in these timings, assessing extent individual repeatability. Here, passive acoustic telemetry tracked 71 twaite shad Alosa fallax (‘shad’) returning to River Severn’s upper est...

We studied the trophic structure of western Wadden Sea fish community through stable isotope analysis (δ 13 C and δ 15 N) 1658 samples from 57 species collected between 2012 2016. Stable values differed but did not vary years or seasons, only for some with size. were different immigrating (spring) emigrating (autumn) fish, suggesting a similar niche various in coastal zone inside Sea. For major...

A novel, Gram-positive, rod-shaped, motile, endospore-forming, halophilic bacterial strain, J18(T), was isolated from a traditional salt-fermented seafood made of gizzard shad in Korea. Colonies were convex, cream-coloured and 1.0-2.0 mm in diameter after incubation for 3 days on marine agar. Growth occurred at pH 7.0-11.0 (optimum, pH 10.0), at 4-40 °C (optimum, 37 °C) and in the presence of 0...

Hilsa shad (Tenualosa ilisha) is an anadromous species which has reproductive migration from the Persian Gulf to the river. Morphological properties and histological changes in oocyte of Hilsa shad in two different environments (salt water and fresh water in Khuzestan province) were studied with respect to its reproductive cycle. Twenty fish samples with average weight of 830.75±3.25 ...

Over the past five decades, a reproductive failure related to thiamine deficiency, referred to as thiamine deficiency complex (TDC), has been observed in valuable salmonine fishes in the Great Lakes and Finger Lakes in North America and the Baltic Sea in Europe. The cause of TDC has been linked to the consumption of clupeid fish, which contain high levels of a thiamine-destroying enzyme called ...
