Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is a very rare benign cartilaginous tumor representing less than 0.5% of all bone tumors while also being the rarest cartilaginous bone tumor. Common locations of occurrence include the metaphysical region of the proximal tibia and distal femur. We report a case of a 10-year-old female affected by a CMF of the left lower tibia. The radiological features demonstrated ...

Migration pattern of third-stage Anguillicola crassus larvae, and pathogenesis of the lesions induced by third-stage larvae, was investigated in European eel Anguilla anguilla L. Young elvers ( l g) were fed infected Paracyclops fimbriatus (Copepoda). Eel samples were collected and examined histologically at varying intervals during the 6 mo post-infection period. Third-stage larvae (L-111) mig...

Anthropogenic (man-made) noise, a global pollutant of international concern, is known to affect the physiology and behaviour of a range of organisms. However, experimental studies have tended to focus on trait means; intra-population variation in responses are likely, but have rarely been explored. Here we use established experimental methods to demonstrate a condition-dependent effect of addit...

Catadromous fish species are very important organisms for their ecological, economical, and cultural value. For its complex life catadromous result in worldwide decline since the beginning of 20th century. Among most iconic species, European eel Anguilla anguilla L. 1758 has aroused considerable interest ancient times. Because, to date, many aspects cycle remain relatively unknown, implement ou...

The influence of environmental factors (mainly the river flow) on the year-to-year variability of European eel Anguilla anguilla fluvial recruitment in a small coastal catchment, the Frémur River (north-west France) was examined. A comprehensive survey of catches from fixed traps at two weirs located at 4.5 km (Pont es Omnes Dam) and 6.0 km (Bois Joli Dam) above the river mouth was carried out ...
