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...

Fieldwork was conducted in 1998 and 1999 in the Okavango River and Delta and a total of 275 fishes representing 31 species were examined for the presence of myxosporean parasites. A total of seven myxosporeans of the genus Myxobolus Bütschli, 1882 were found infecting the fishes. Two new species namely Myxobolus etsatsaensis sp. n. from Barbus thamalakanensis Fowler, 1935 and M. paludinosus sp....

This study was performed to determine infection and pathologies of the parasites (Myxobolus cyprini Lamproglena pulchella) on three different fish species (Barbus lacerta, Capoeta trutta umbla) caught in Wildlife. The for this were transported laboratory accordance with ethical rules investigated parasites. According results, two parasite identified. Myxobolus found soft tissue pectoral fins as...
