The fish species Symphodus bailloni (Valenciennes, 1839) reported in the present study were collected between June 2010 and June 2011 from the western Black Sea coasts which were previously not recorded from the Black Sea coast of Turkey. A total of 717 specimens of S. bailloni were measured, ranging between 8.9 and 15.4 cm TL. Morphometrics, meristics, and diagnostic characteristics of the spe...

An experimental study for the evaluation of Listeria monocytogenes inactivation during a hot smoking process in tench was performed using Listeria innocua strains. Furthermore, the survival of L. monocytogenes in smoked tench was determined after post-processing in contaminated samples, evaluating the growth potential during storage. L innocua was not detected after the smoking process. In the ...

In this study, fish species diversity and protection criteria, habitat evaluation, threat elements of the ichthyofauna Devrez Stream were examined monthly between April 2020 March 2021. Eight taxa (7 natives, 1 non-native) belonging to four families (Cyprinidae, Gobionidae, Leuciscidae, Gobiidae) identified. Chondrostoma angorense Elvira, 1987 (endemic) from mentioned was reported for first tim...

The assessment of the genetic structuring of biodiversity is crucial for management and conservation. For species with large effective population sizes a low number of markers may fail to identify population structure. A solution of this shortcoming can be high-throughput sequencing that allows genotyping thousands of markers on a genome-wide approach while facilitating the detection of genetic...

The Early Pleistocene site of Pietrafitta (central Italy) produced a rich vertebrate assemblage from the Late Villafranchian Land Mammal Age (late MN18). Geological and paleobotanical data indicate lacustrine environment, surrounded by humid deciduous broadleaved forest with temperate climate. consists at least 40 taxa including actinopterygians, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals. Here, we c...
