The main objective of this study was to collect new data on the occurrence, levels of priority and emerging organic compounds in freshwater fish sampled in the Rhone River. The 34 studied contaminants included alkylphenols, bisphenol A, polybromodiphenylethers (PBDE), perfluorinated compounds, hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCD), hexachlorobenzene and hexachlorobutadiene (HCBD).

Knight et al. (2013a) clarified the identity of Barbus mussullah Sykes, the type species of Hypselobarbus Bleeker, showing it to represent a lineage clearly distinct from Tor Gray (type species Tor hamiltonii Gray (= Cyprinus tor Hamilton)). They showed the two species to be distinguished by a suite of characters, with Hypselobarbus lacking the distinctive median fleshy lobe of the lower lip (p...

This study assessed the distribution of heavy metals in gills, kidney, and liver, correlated with severity histopathological changes, three fish species different feeding habitats (Barbus barbus, Squalius cephalus, Chondrostoma nasus) from Cri?ul Negru river, Romania. The levels copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn) tissues were measured by atomic absorption spectrophot...
