The perchlorate anion--an oxidizer found in rockets, missiles, some ammunition, flares, airbags, and fireworks--occurs as a contaminant in ground and surface water in many parts of the United States. Its toxic effects include inhibition of thyroid hormone synthesis. To investigate its chronic toxicity, mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki) adults and fry were exposed to aqueous sodium perchlorate a...

A poor start in life owing to a restricted diet can have readily detectable detrimental consequences for many adult life-history traits. However, some costs such as smaller adult body size are potentially eliminated when individuals modify their development. For example, male mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki) that have reduced early food intake undergo compensatory growth and delay maturation s...

The purpose of this study is to create awareness about the species mosquito fishes (Gambusia holbrooki Girard, 1859) both vectors and ways introduction new aquatic habitats. Because creates risks, especially for circumstance native endemic fish fauna, studies stories are quite important prevent risk. In current report, mosquitofishes which known as a highly invasive were found in crop content h...

A fundamental goal of community ecology is to understand species–habitat relationships and how they shape metacommunity structure. Recent advances in occupancy modeling enable habitat be assessed for both common rare species within metacommunities using multi-species models (MSOM). These account imperfect detection offer considerable advantages over other analytical tools commonly used analyses...

This study was carried out in the inland waters of Muğla Basin between 2018-2019. As a result field studies and literature, it determined that there were 36 species fish belonging to 17 families (Anguillidae, Atherinidae, Cobitidae, Leuciscidae, Cyprinidae, Gobionidae, Nemacheilidae, Aphaniidae, Poeciliidae, Blenniidae, Centrarchidae, Cichlidae, Gobiidae, Moronidae, Mugilidae, Salmonidae, Silur...
