Studying diet of Iranian goby (Ponticola iranicus) in the rivers of Anzali Wetland basin
Iranian goby is an endemic fish that was described in 2015 from rivers of the Guilan province. This fish exists upstream and mid-stream of rivers and it is observed lowly in downstream and rarely in estuaries of rivers. This study has been done in 4 important rivers of Anzali Wetland (Chafrud, Khalkaee, Siahdarvishan and Pasikhan) and the main purposes were determination of diet spectrum and fo...
متن کاملOrganochlorine pollution in tropical rivers (Guadeloupe): role of ecological factors in food web bioaccumulation.
Concentrations of organochlorine pesticides and stable isotope ratios of nitrogen and carbon were measured in a tropical freshwater ecosystem to evaluate the contamination level of biota and examine the bioaccumulation patterns of pollutants through the food web. Chemical analyses showed a general and heavy contamination of the entire food web. They revealed the strong accumulation of pollutant...
متن کاملEffects of seasonality and fish movement on tropical river food webs
Tropical rivers and their associated floodplain habitats are dynamic habitat mosaics to which fishes are challenged to respond in an adaptive manner. Migratory fishes create linkages among food webs that are partitioned along a nested hierarchy of spatial scales. Such linkages are examined across a hierarchy of spatio-temporal scales, ranging from small streams to entire drainage basins, for ri...
متن کاملParasitofauna study of the brown trout, Salmo trutta (Pisces, Teleostei) from Corsica (Mediterranean island) rivers.
Corsica is a Mediterranean island characterised by a great number of rivers. Salmonides are the main fishes which populate these rivers. Very appreciated by fishermen, Salmonides are represented by three species in the insular hydrographical network, among which an autochthonous species, the brown trout (Salmo trutta). In the present work, we have analysed the parasitofauna of this species. Acc...
متن کاملRemote-Sensing Hydraulic Characterization of Channel Habitat Units in a Tropical Montane River: Bladen River, Belize
The physical characteristics of river systems exert significant control on the habitat for aquatic species, including the distribution of in-stream channel habitat units. Most previous studies on channel habitat units have focused on midlatitude rivers, which differ in several substantive ways from tropical rivers. Field delineation of channel habitat units is especially challenging in tropical...
