schismatogobius deraniyagalai is recorded from the seethanathi river of karnataka state in the southern part of india. previous records of these species were from the streams in kerala of india and from freshwater habitats of sri lanka. herein we report the occurrence of this species in seethanathi river showing its distribution extended further north along the west coast of peninsular india.

An invasive benthivorous fish, the Eurasian round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) is abundant throughout the lower Great Lakes – St. Lawrence River system. We examined the round goby’s potential to alter benthic communities on cobble substrates in the upper St. Lawrence River. During the summers of 2008 and 2009, macroinvertebrates and benthic algae were sampled across sites with varying goby den...

In the present study, the cestoid Pterobothrium crassicolle Diesing, 1850 (Trypanorhyncha), was observed parasitizing specimens of the violet goby (Gobioides broussonnetii Lacepède, 1800) collected from the estuary of the Paracauarí River on Marajó Island in the north of the Brazilian state of Pará, between January 2009 and December 2010. Tissue samples were analyzed, which led to identificatio...

Abstract Migration barriers being selective for invasive species could protect pristine upstream areas. We designed and tested a prototype protective barrier in vertical slot fish pass. Based on the individuals’ swimming responses to flow field, we assumed this would block ascension of round goby, but allow comparable native (gudgeon bullhead) ascend. The was three steps: description, quantific...

Coral reef lagoons and back reef areas are composed more of sand than hard reef habitat. They support a diverse mix of fishes, including species restricted to sandy habitats and those dependent on both hard and soft substrata. However the resident assemblages associated with sand and the factors affecting their distribution and abundance are poorly understood. Here we examine spatial co-variati...

This paper divulges the different meanings of seemingly meaningless surrealist Haruki Murakami's “Confessions a Shinagawa Monkey” (2020). The decision to use an anthropomorphic protagonist in narrative is crucial and loaded with symbolism. It can be interpreted as account workplace abuse, racism discrimination or story about identity conflict, monkey body representing otherness. illuminates con...

Marine fish species such as grey wrasse Symphodus cinereus, common sole Solea solea, knout goby Mesogobius batrachocephalus and rusty blenny Parablennius sanguinolentus were studied for their parasitic isopods on the Sinop coast of Black Sea. Two cymothoid (Nerocila bivittata Nerocila orbignyi) identified. was found body surface fins wrasse, sole, goby, N. orbignyi dorsal fin blenny. The preval...
