A new approach for the synthesis of Prussian blue nanoparticles using the cationic surfactant Cetyl Pyridinium Chloride (CPC) as capping agent has been developed in the present work. Powder X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, UV–vis absorption spectra, and IR spectroscopy were employed to characterize the product. The TEM image showed that the Prussian blue nanoparticles with d...

This study aimed to disclose the spatial variability in lagenar otolith (asteriscus) dimensions-total length relationships generated for four Prussian carp, Carassius gibelio (Bloch, 1782) populations (Altınkaya Dam Lake, Bafra Fish Lakes, Lake Ladik and Simenit) Samsun Province, Türkiye. Relationship between weight of fish was also described each population. Samples were obtained from commerci...

Fish, being an important consumer in aquatic ecosystems, plays a significant role by affecting the key processes of ecosystems. Omnivorous fish consume variety food both from pelagic and benthic habitats may directly or indirectly affect plankton community as well lake trophic state. We conducted 72-day outdoor experiment mesocosms with without Prussian carp (Carassius auratus) to evaluate effe...

Prussian Blue (ferric hexacyanoferrate (II)), discovered accidentally in 1706 in Berlin by Johann Jacob Diesbach (1) and Johann Konrad Dippel (2), remains an intensively investigated material. Currently, more than 200 scientific publications with Prussian Blue as a research subject are published annually. Johann Leonhard Frisch (see below) and Diesbach produced Prussian Blue in the years follow...

Invasive alien species (IAS) are species whose introduction or spread outside their native range threatens biological diversity, ecosystem functioning, economy, and/or public health. The recent European Union (EU) regulation on the management of IAS emphasizes the need for a consistent approach to alien species assessment that will underpin international measures for the early identification of...
