On the natural history of an introduced population of guppies (Poecilia reticulata Peters, 1859) in Germany
Artificially heated water bodies represent unusual habitats in temperate regions and form a refuge for exceptional fish communities. The Gillbach, a tributary of the river Erft in Germany, receives thermally polluted cooling water from a power plant. Here, we present data on the composition of the fish community in the Gillbach and found a high abundance of invasive species from all over the wo...
متن کاملAcute toxicity of alpha-cypermethrin to guppy (Poecilia reticulata, Pallas, 1859).
Alpha-cypermethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide used to control pests in domestic, industrial and agricultural situations. Adult male guppy fish (Poecilia reticulata standard test species) were selected for the bioassay experiments. The experiments were performed in four series and the 96-h LC50 value was determined for guppies. The acute toxicity experiments were carried out by static...
متن کاملA Comparative Study on the Toxicity of a Synthetic Pyrethroid, Deltamethrin and a Neem Based Pesticide, Azadirachtin to Poecilia reticulata Peters 1859 (Cyprinodontiformes: Poeciliidae)
Increased use of chemical pesticide results in the excess inflow of toxic chemicals, mainly into the aquatic ecosystem (Baskaran et al., 1989; Kalavathy et al., 2001). The aquatic flora and fauna are affected by the toxic substances which eventually enter in to their systems or bring about external damages (Pant and Singh, 1983; Hodson, 1988; Johal and Dua, 1995). Several species of fish are su...
متن کاملSocial networks in the guppy (Poecilia reticulata).
Social network theory is used to elicit details of the social structure of a population of free-ranging guppies, Poecilia reticulata. They were found to have a complex and highly structured social network, which exhibited characteristics consistent with the 'small world' phenomenon. Stable partner associations between individuals were observed, a finding that fulfils the basic prerequisite for ...
متن کاملProtective role of Spirulina feed in a freshwater fish (Poecilia reticulata Peters) exposed to an azo dye-methyl red.
Acute toxicity of an azo dye-methyl red (5-40 ppm) was examined under starving conditions, on two groups of Poecilia reticulata--a freshwater fish, fed on different diets prior to their exposure to dye. Besides natural feed, fish of group-1 also received Spirulina feed for one month (feed population), whereas those of group-2 received only natural feed (non-feed population). The mortality data ...
