Management of non-native fish species is informed by monitoring their temporal and spatial distribution. There are few published analyses of temporal patterns of established non-native fish species. The objective of this study was to examine the utility of the American Fisheries Society’s (AFS) lists of fish names for quantifying trends in the number of established non-native fishes as a first ...

The Middle Pleistocene was a period of dynamic changes in Europe. During MIS 11, number modern mammal taxa appeared and environmental conditions remained warm favourable for relatively long time. Medzhybizh 1 locality Ukraine dated to this very comprises alluvial deposits with rich animal remains, which allow not only reconstruct the fauna composition, but also highlight that dominated at local...

ABSTRACT This research was aimed to explore the helminth parasitic diseases in Schizothorax plagiostomus (the snow trout) from river Swat and Panjkora, Pakistan. Collection of 360 fish specimens have done lower, middle upper reaches both rivers through gill nets, cast dragon nets hooks. All samples were examined University Malakand, Zoology Department for parasites during months January 2015 De...

Great Lakes coastal wetlands (GLCW) have been severely degraded by anthropogenic activity over the last several decades despite their critical role in fish production. Many species use wetland habitats for spawning, feeding, shelter, and nurseries throughout year. The goal of our study was to compare GLCW community composition spring, summer, fall months investigate how water quality relates di...

myxosporeans are best known for the diseases they cause in commercially important fish species. identification of myxosporeans at the species-level is mainly based on conventional methods. the 18s rrna gene sequence of morphologically identified myxobolus orissae infecting the gill lamellae of mrigal carp cirrhinus mrigala was characterized in the present study. the plasmodia of m. orissae were...

BACKGROUNDS: Gyrodactylus is a small monogenean ectoparasite that lives on the skin and fins of most of the world's fish species. Gyrodactylus appears to be one of the most prevalent parasites found in ornamental fish, especially in Cyprinids. Goldfish (Carassius auratus) are a popular ornamental fish that are highly contaminated by Gyrodcatylus. OBJECTIVES: The present study is aimed to identi...
