Fish passes facilitate fish movement in fragmented river systems, yet they can also provide important habitat functions. This study investigated the community composition of different constructed types (fluvial habitats, floodplain ponds) within relation to characteristics order deduce recommendations for fish-friendly designs such structures. structures differed significantly from those main r...

The schizothoracine fishes, members of the Teleost order Cypriniformes, are one of the most diverse group of cyprinids in the QinghaieTibetan Plateau and surrounding regions. However, taxonomy and phylogeny of these species remain unclear. In this study, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome of Schizopygopsis malacanthus. We also used the newly obtained sequence, together with 31 publ...

Length-weight relationships (LWRs) are useful for calculating weight based on measurements of length. Here we provide LWRs 17 species fish from the rivers Vltava and Elbe in Czech Republic, Central Europe. The samples were collected by electrofishing May 2016 to August 2019. There far fewer riverine than lotic fish. All significant with r2 values ranging 0.99 European barbel (Barbus barbus) 0.9...

Circoviruses are present worldwide in birds and pigs but their occurrence in fish has not yet been reported. Recently, increased mortality was observed in barbel fry (Barbus barbus) in Hungary. This paper reports the detection of previously unknown circular viral DNA genomes in barbels by the use of a circovirus-specific wide-range nested PCR. The analysis of two complete genomes (Barbel circov...
