Intensive agriculture increasingly depends on chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Considerable amounts of these substances persist in the soil and, then, they reach surface water bodies, favouring eutrophication phenomenon or adversely affecting aquatic life. The existence and evolution of aquatic organisms decisively depend on the environment they live in water. This paper presents the result...

The ichthyological biodiversity of Polish lakes is poorly understood, even in not used for fishing and those under strict protection. With this mind, the aim study was to conduct a comprehensive survey several Wolin National Park (Poland). conducted Domysławskie Gardno anthropogenic Stara Kredownia reservoir. Each exercise using benthic nets over 12 h period. fish caught were measured weighed, ...

The chromosomal spread and karyotype of Bleak (Alburnus alburnus) from Anzali lagoon were identified using tissue squashing techniques with injection of 0.5ml/100g body weight of 0.01% Colchicines solution in fish fingerlings. Kidney and gill tissues were then extracted and chopped in KCl 0.045M for 20 min and fixed in Carnoy solution in 3 stages. The chromosomal spreads were stained in 20% Gim...

Hybrid Megalobrama amblycephala × Culter alburnus represents a population newly formed by interspecific crossing between two different genera. Here we assessed the expression pattern of mRNA and small RNA in newly formed F1, F2 and their progenitors. Large amounts of nonadditively expressed protein-coding genes showed parental expression level dominance (ELD). Interestingly, the ELD pattern cou...

The wetlands and wetland macrophytes play crucial role in the ecosystem with direct as well indirect benefits of uncountable value. A study was undertaken to document angiospermic Pune district, Maharashtra state, India. Results revealed that, there are 11 categories district including seven natural four man- made. These harbour 457 angiosperms belonging 72 families. Of these, taxa, 204 taxa un...

The species composition of the ichthyofauna Samara River under influence man-made factors in Novomoskovsk district Dnipropetrovsk region is presented. environmental problem characterized, and on revealed. was analyzed based literature data, field ichthyological studies were also conducted to determine River. results technogenic modern realities have been obtained are summarized relation ichthyo...

In this study, cytogenetic properties of A. escherichii were investigated using standard Giemsa staining, C-banding, and Ag-NOR staining techniques. The karyotype Sakarya bleak, the diploid chromosome number was 2n = 50, consists six pairs metacentric, 12 submetacentric, seven acrocentric autosomes (NF=86). No morphologically distinguishable heteromorphic sex chromosomes detected in karyotype. ...
