Understanding the fish community structure and spatial distribution characteristics is essential for appropriate reservoir fishery management, especially in early impoundment stage of reservoir, which could help obtaining basic data performing artificial adjustments to biological communities. On basis this concept, we conducted a survey at newly constructed southwest China by using combination ...

Invasive species management can benefit from predictive models that incorporate spatially explicit demographics and dispersal to guide resource allocation decisions. We used invasive bigheaded carps (Hypophthalmichthys spp.) in the Illinois River, USA as a case study create model evaluate of future efforts. Specifically, we compared additional harvest (e.g. near invasion front vs. source popula...

The 24 hour activity patterns of three non-native gobiids (round goby Neogobius melanostomus, Western tubenose goby Proterorhinus semilunaris and bighead goby Ponticola kessleri) were assessed over 46 consecutive months between 2011 and 2014 from their occurrence in the cooling water intake of a nuclear power plant on the River Rhine, Germany. In total, 117717 gobiids were identified and classi...
