Effects of initial size on the growth and survival of a freshwater fish, Chondrostoma nasus, were tested in a field survey, where individually tagged larvae were introduced into a potential nursery habitat. Characteristics of individual daily growth trajectories were utilized as a basis to explain growth, as well as survival patterns, in relation to ontogeny. Initial size only affected growth r...

Two cyprinid species, Parachondrostoma toxostoma, an endemic threatened species, and Chondrostoma nasus, an invasive species, live in sympatry in southern France and form two sympatric zones where the presence of intergeneric hybrids is reported. To estimate the potential threat to endemic species linked to the introduction of invasive species, we focused on the DAB genes (functional MHC IIB ge...

This paper considers the length–weight relationship of six out of eight most commonly found fish species inhabiting the Vardar River biotope, the largest riverine system in the central part of the Balkan Peninsula: Alburnoides bipunctatus (Bloch, 1782); Alburnus alburnus (Linnaeus, 1758), Barbus macedonicus Karaman, 1928; Barbus peloponnesius Valenciennes, 1842; Chondrostoma vardarense Karaman,...

—Fish larvae were sampled at multiple fixed sites from late winter to early summer over 6 years (1990–1995) in the southern Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta. A total of 394,797 fish larvae representing 15 species or taxonomic groups was collected. The assemblage was numerically dominated by three species that represented 98% of the total catch: alien shimofuri goby Tridentiger bifasciatus (71%), th...

Understanding the impact of non-native species on native species is a major challenge in molecular ecology, particularly for genetically compatible fish species. Invasions are generally difficult to study because their effects may be confused with those of environmental or human disturbances. Colonized ecosystems are differently impacted by human activities, resulting in diverse responses and i...

Fatty acid composition of fish is one of the key factors for the evaluation of fish nutritional value and it could be different based on fish species, habitat, nutrition and etc. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the fatty acid composition of five commercially important freshwater fish from the fish market. Studied fish were as follows: Barbell, Luciobarbus pectoralis (Heckel, 1843),...

Navratil S.: Parasitoses in the Fry of Selected Freshwater Fish Species under the Conditions of Stripping and Rearing. Acta vet. Bmo. 60. 1991: 357-366. During the period from 1984 to 1989. the problem of parasitic invasion into the artificially reproduced and reared fry of the freshwater fish species (Barbus barbus, Chondrostoma nasus. Leuciscus cephalus, Aspius aspius) wereinvestigated at a s...

The Sacramento splittail (Pogonichthys macrolepidotus) is a minnow endemic to the highly modified San Francisco Estuary of California, USA and its associated rivers and tributaries. This species is composed of two genetically distinct populations, which, according to field observations and otolith strontium signatures, show largely allopatric distribution patterns as recently hatched juveniles....
