In a mesocosm study, somatic and otolith growth of common dace (Leuciscus leuciscus) and bream (Abramis brama) differing in body size and body shape were studied in a wave and a no-wave control regime. A low-intensity wave treatment, causing hydrodynamic stress comparable to that resulting from distant ship traffic or moderate wind, caused significant changes in somatic growth and otolith daily...

The following caryophyllidean tapeworms were found in freshwater fishes from Japan (species reported from Japan for the first time marked with an asterisk): family Caryophyllaeidae: Paracaryophyllaeus gotoi (Motomura, 1927) from Misgurnus anguillicaudatus (Cantor); Archigetes sieboldi Leuckart, 1878 from Pseudorasbora parva (Temminck et Schlegel) and Sarcocheilichthys variegatus microoculus Mor...

The impact of storage on the chemical composition wet salted Mugil cephalus, Chonas chonas and Gerres oyena from Port Sudan. Red Sea coast was studied. Regression analysis showed significant correlation (p

Integrodifference (IDE) models can be used to determine the critical domain size required for persistence of populations with distinct dispersal and growth phases. Using this modelling framework, we develop a novel spatially implicit approximation to the proportion of individuals lost to unfavourable habitat outside of a finite domain of favourable habitat, which consistently outperforms the mo...

Using an (AG)13 enriched genomic library of Mugil cephalus, 12 polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized in a test population; the number of alleles ranged from 2 to 11. The observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.2593 to 0.8966 and from 0.3047 to 0.8454, respectively. Two loci deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium; linkage disequilibrium among the 12 loci ...
