The large-scale hybridization of fishes the subfamily Leuciscinae in subordinate systems Dnipro River basin is presented by data on two pairs species, roach Rutilus rutilus × bream Abramis brama, and bleak Alburnus alburnus rudd Scardinius erythrophthalmus. occurrence F1 hybrids are confirmed with allozyme spectra morphological characters series samples. A complete morphometric analysis charact...

Wild roach (Rutilus rutilus) inhabiting UK rivers contaminated with estrogenic effluents from wastewater treatment works show altered sexual development, including intersex, and this can impact negatively on their reproductive capabilities. The molecular events underlying these disruptions in gender assignment, however, are still poorly understood. In this study, two isoforms of aromatase (cyp1...

We studied the association between environmental stress and epidermal papillomatosis of roach Rutilus rutilus L. in Finnish waters using a 'matched pairs' design. Populations impacted by industrial and/or sewage effluents were compared to reference populations from pristine sites. We examined both the prevalence (proportion of diseased fish) and intensity (number of scales covered by tumors) of...

Historically, ecological engineered solutions for fish passage across anthropogenic barriers in rivers has mainly focused on facilitating upstream long-migrating diadromous fish, such as salmonids. More recently, have shifted their focus to a more holistic perspective, allowing species with different swimming capacity, both and downstream. This experiment investigated whether the addition of co...

support vector machine (svm) was used to analyze the occurrence of roach in flemish stream basins (belgium). several habitat and physico?chemical variables were used as inputs for the model development. the biotic variable merely consisted of abundance data which was used for predicting presence/absence of roach. genetic algorithm (ga) was combined with svm in order to select the most important...
