This study was carried out to determine the fish fauna of Kuzgun Dam Lake dranaige. Eight (Barbus lacerta, Capoeta damascina, Alburnus sellal, Alburnoides velioglui, Squalius semae, Oxynoemacheilus araxensis, O. bergianus and Salmo euphrataeus) species belonging 4 families (Cyprinidae, Leuciscidae, Nemachelidae Salmonidae) were determined.

This study is focused on developing an integrated optimization-simulation model to develop the operation policies for a multi-purpose reservoir. Objective function of the optimization model is considered to be a linear function of reliability, resiliency, and vulnerability of river-reservoir systems. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used to solve the optimization model in which the coefficients of the...

background: rivers and streams are important sources of surface waters. water quality of these resources depends on many factors including hydrologic, physicochemical and biological factors. these resources are important in terms of social, economic and political development.. zayanderood river is the only river in central basin of iran that has permanent fresh water. this river has an importan...

The construction of large dams has been shown to increase the prevalence and intensity of human schistosomiasis. However, until now no study had been carried out to assess the impact of such a project in Côte d'Ivoire. For Kossou and Taabo, two large dams which became operational in the 1970s, baseline data are available on schistosomiasis prevalence in the surrounding area before dam construct...

Abstract Human-induced water level fluctuations (WLFs) are among the major pressures threatening lake ecosystems. Their effect on meiobenthic species of littoral zone has been poorly investigated. In this study, we aimed at assessing effects human-induced WLFs composition and functionality benthic copepod assemblages Lake Maggiore, Italy Switzerland. From 1942 to present, Maggiore regulated thr...

Riparian habitat makes up a small fraction of the landscape but provides important stopover habitat for migratory birds. Hydroelectric dam operations cause fluctuations in water levels that can change the amount or quality of riparian habitat, which in turn might affect potential fattening rates of migrant birds. Here we used plasma metabolite analysis to estimate variation in fattening rate in...

The aim of the present study was shedding light on disease factors underlying mortality event among common carps inhabiting Hirfanlı Dam Lake in Türkiye spring year 2021. For this purpose various parasitological, bacteriological and virological research techniques were employed. Five parasite genera, Dactylogyrus spp., Myxobolus Eimeria Trichodina Diplostomum spp. isolated from 13 carps. opport...
