Variation and shift in the seasonal pattern of the hydro-climatic factors is probably because of climate related changes. Rainfall, river inflow, snowmelt, and consequent fluctuation in water level are the hydro-climatic factors that influence the inland fisheries production worldwide. Increase in rainfall and water level favours the reproduction, recruitment and immigration of fish in the inla...

The net transport through the Seto Inland Sea, associated with the inflow of the Kuroshio Current from the Pacific Ocean, is the focus of this study. Direct measurement of the net transport was successfully accomplished during February–November 2012 using reciprocal sound transmissions in the Akinada Sea, the western part of the inland sea, while accurate transport was estimated only from mid-A...

in this study, the systematic position of acanthalburnus microlepis from kura and aras basins is clarified and some notes on the taxonomy of the acanthobrama species distributed in turkey are given. based on the morphological and osteological analyses, a high similarity between a. microlepis and acanthobrama members is found. some taxonomic information yielded from the examination of recent col...

In 13 villages in the savannah zone and 21 villages in the forest zone of Côte d'Ivoire, the biting density of the principal malaria vector, Anopheles gambiae, was studied as a function of rice cultivation in the inland valleys in a 2-km radius around each village. In the savannah villages, during the main season cropping period, surface water on rice-cultivated and to a lesser extent on uncult...

[1] The topography of inland deltas is influenced by the water‐sediment balance in distributary channels and local evaporation and seepage rates. In this letter a reduced complexity model is applied to simulate inland delta formation, and results are compared with the Okavango Delta, Botswana and with a laboratory experiment. We show that water loss in inland deltas produces fundamentally diffe...

The aim of this study was to evaluate intravenous anaesthesia with alfaxalone for tracheal tube insertion in three species of agamid lizards. Alfaxalone, at a dose rate of 5 mg/kg, was administered intravenously to 80 inland bearded dragons (Pogona vitticeps), 10 Rankin’s dragons (Pogona henrylawsoni) and 10 Chinese water dragons (Physignathus cocincinus) following 24 h of fasting. The righting...

Inland lakes play important roles in water and greenhouse gas cycling in the environment. This study aims to test the performance of a flux-gradient system for simultaneous measurement of the fluxes of water vapor, CO2, and CH4 at a lake-air interface. The concentration gradients over the water surface were measured with an analyzer based on the wavelength-scanned cavity ring-down spectroscopy ...

Atmospheric correction of remotely sensed imagery of inland water bodies is essential to interpret water-leaving radiance signals and for the accurate retrieval of water quality variables. Atmospheric correction is particularly challenging over inhomogeneous water bodies surrounded by comparatively bright land surface. We present results of AisaFENIX airborne hyperspectral imagery collected ove...

Ammonia oxidation is the first step in nitrification and was thought to be performed solely by specialized bacteria. The discovery of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) changed this view. We examined the large scale and spatio-temporal occurrence, abundance and role of AOA throughout Chinese inland waters (n = 28). Molecular survey showed that AOA was ubiquitous in inland waters. The existence of ...
