The Zenne River in Brussels (Belgium) and effluents of the two wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) of Brussels were chosen to assess the impact of disturbance on bacterial community composition (BCC) of an urban river. Organic matters, nutrients load and oxygen concentration fluctuated highly along the river and over time because of WWTPs discharge. Tag pyrosequencing of bacterial 16S rRNA gene...

Proliferative kidney disease (PKD) is an emerging disease threatening wild salmonid populations. In temperature-controlled aquaria, PKD can cause mortality rates of up to 85% in rainbow trout. So far, no data about PKD-related mortality in wild brown trout Salmo trutta fario are available. The aim of this study was to investigate mortality rates and pathology in brown trout kept in a cage withi...

holocene in southwest khuzestan is represented by a fluvio-tidal succession termed thebahmanshir series which consists of two clayey layers separated by silty sand to silt beds. this paperdescribes the geotechnical properties of the clayey layers that have wide exposure in the lowlands of thepersian gulf coast. studied layers are generally clay sized and consist of a lesser percentage of clay m...

The river-resident Salmo salar ("småblank") has been isolated from other Atlantic salmon populations for 9,500 years in upper River Namsen, Norway. This is the only European Atlantic salmon population accomplishing its entire life cycle in a river. Hydropower development during the last six decades has introduced movement barriers and changed more than 50% of the river habitat to lentic conditi...

Campylobacter jejuni was isolated from diarrheic people, river water (Oldman River watershed), wastewater, and drinking over a 1-year period in southwestern Alberta (2008–2009). High rates of campylobacteriosis were observed during the study (≥115 cases/100 K). Infections occurred throughout year, with peaks late summer early autumn. Most infections people living Lethbridge. not municipal water...

in recent years, the water quality of karun river, iran, has been affected by different pollutant loads such as agricultural drainages, municipal and industrial wastewaters.water quality index (wqi) and gis as an efficient tool can be used to provide necessary support for decisions of the management actions in this river and also capability of time series models can be beneficial for forecastin...

A survey of the macrozoobenthos communities in Maritsa River (South Bulgaria) was carried out summer 2021. Benthic samples were collected and physicochemical parameters (water temperature, pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen nutrients) measured at 15 sites located on main river its tributary system. The studied belonged to different types characterised diversity ecological conditions—from unaffe...

BACKGROUND Migrations allow animals to find food resources, rearing habitats, or mates, but often impose considerable predation risk. Several behavioural strategies may reduce this risk, including faster travel speed and taking routes with shorter total distance. Descriptions of the natural range of variation in migration strategies among individuals and populations is necessary before the ecol...
