The aim of the present study was to determine and compare the seasonal changes in the proximate composition, fatty acids profile and fat soluble vitamins content in spring and autumn goby (Neogobius melanostomus) caught from the Bulgarian Black Sea waters. The proximate composition (moisture, protein and total lipid) has been determined according to AOAC (1990).  Analysis of fatty acid methyl e...

Aim The few fish species able to reproduce across wide osmotic ranges either plastically acclimate sperm performance to, or are locally adapted different salinities. invasive round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) is spreading in Eurasia and the Americas, into both fresh brackish water. We aim understand if reproduction salinities affected by an ability acclimate. Location Brackish freshwater syst...

A mortality event primarily affecting freshwater drum Aplodinotus grunniens was noted during April and May 2005 in the Bay of Quinte, Lake Ontario, Canada. A conservative estimate of the number of dead drum was approximately 100 metric tonnes. Large numbers of dead round goby Neogobius melanostomus were also seen, as well as a few muskellunge Esox masquinongy. In the drum, there was a consisten...

Molecular-based monitoring relying on environmental DNA (eDNA) detection became routinely used around the world in last few years, especially aquatic environments. The large potential and increasing applications of this technique calls for technical improvements to optimize reliability these surveys. An important aspect eDNA workflow is appropriate preservation samples taken field, as it can si...
