This study aimed to compare the contamination levels of various organohalogenated compounds in two migratory fish species in the Vilaine River in western France. Organochlorinated pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dioxins (polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/dibenzofurans (PCDDs/Fs)), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) were analyzed in two diadromous species from the Vilaine e...

The spatial and temporal variations of finfish bycatch assemblage cutlassfish trawl were compared in two fishing areas (Hormozgan and Bushehr). Data were collected on board of commercial vessels in the fishing grounds of Trichiurus lepturus in Bushehr and Hormozgan marine waters between early May 2010 to late November, 2010. There was a significant difference in the bycatch assemblages bet...

The importance of conservation aquatic biodiversity on sustainable fisheries is gradually being recognized by more and people. Positive results have been reported from establishing marine protected areas (MPAs) as well freshwater reserves (Koning & McIntyre, 2021; Lenihan et al., 2021). Conservation animals plants not yet fully addressed in a way that will protect genetic resources for aquacult...

A northern snakehead Channa argus population was documented within a 23km reach of the tidal freshwater Potomac River and associated tributaries in 2004 when 20 snakeheads were collected with several gears including hook-and-line and electrofishing. An additional 271 snakeheads were collected in 2005 primarily with various electrofishing gears. Boat electrofishing mean catch rate increased from...
