The impacts of aquatic invasive species vary from the population to ecosystem level most strikingly through modifications native communities, often leading a decline in species. A primary impact mechanism is competitive displacement by resource partitioning. However, trophic interactions between and occupying same habitat remain poorly understood, particularly at early stages invasion. This stu...

Life history plasticity can be a strong predictor of the establishment and invasion success introduced fishes. Here, life-history traits four P. parva populations in adjacent ponds Southern England were measured throughout 2013 to determine timing length their reproductive season extent trait plasticity. The relative abundance (as catch per unit effort) was similar, with low variability relatin...

Global climate change continues to impact fish habitat quality and biodiversity, especially in regard the dynamics of invasive non-native species. Using individual aquaria an open channel flume, this study evaluated effects water temperature, flow velocity turbulence interactions on swimming performance two lentic, UK, pumpkinseed ( Lepomis gibbosus ) topmouth gudgeon Pseudorasbora parva ). Bur...

Abstract Topmouth gudgeon is a freshwater fish species native to East Asia. Nowadays, P. parva spread throughout Europe which of concern because besides being considered one the worst aquatic Invasive Alien Species (IAS) in it also known vector Spherotecum destruens , rosette-like parasite lethal other species. The present study describes development and validation new species-specific assay ba...

The introduction of non-native fish species is known to have adverse effects on aquatic ecosystems, but their effect plateau lakes not well studied. In this study, we examined the Japanese smelt (Hypomesus nipponensis) invasion assemblage in Lake Erhai, a subtropical lake southwestern China. Through cluster analysis and non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS), found significant shift: popula...

The infection status of Clonorchis sinensis metacercariae (CsMc) was examined in freshwater fish from a highly prevalent site, Wicheon (a branch of Nakdong-gang), which is located in Gunwi-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, the Republic of Korea. Total 1,162 fish in 32 species were examined by the artificial digestion method through 6 years. CsMc were detected in 720 (67.5%) out of 1,067 fish (26 spp.) and...

An environment intensively studied from many perspectives, through the efforts of an interdisciplinary team of biologists, ecologists, geneticists, chemists, pedologists, etc. is Moara Domnească agroecosystem. Located in the North-East of Bucharest, the Moara Domnească Lake is used for irrigation of the neighbouring agricultural areas and also for pisciculture (Stavrescu-Bedivan et al., 2011). ...
