We studied the effects of boating and navigation activities on the recruitment of coastal fish in the Stockholm archipelago in the NW Baltic proper. The impacts were quantified by sampling metamorphosed young-of-the-year (Y-O-Y) fish in inlets adjacent to i) routes for medium-sized passenger ferries; ii) berths (small marinas) with small boats; and iii) references. Species with high preference ...

Total length, body mass and gut content mass of young-of-the-year (YOY) perch Perca fluviatilis, dace Leuciscus leuciscus and bleak Alburnus alburnus were recorded over the summer of 2006 at three littoral sites at Upper Lake Constance. In P. fluviatilis and L. leuciscus, gut content mass correlated positively with wave-induced energy flux (E(F)) of the respective site and sampling day, while n...

Alburnus sava, new species, is described from the Kolpa River. The Kolpa is a tributary of the Sava, a major tributary of the Danube River, in the Black Sea basin. Alburnus sava is distinguished from its congeners in the Danube drainage, A. mento and A. sarmaticus, by having 23-27, usually 24-26, gill rakers; the ventral keel usually completely covered by scales (scaleless part maximum 15% of t...

The morphometric, meristic and phenotypical characters of the members of the genus Alburnus from the Adriatic Basin were analyzed on specimens from 11 localities, representing eight watersheds. The number of gill rakers, the number of lateral line scales, the number of branched anal fi n rays and the coverage of the ventral keel by scales have the greatest signifi cance in differentiating betwe...

During a survey of myxosporean parasites of cyprinid fish in Hungary, infections caused by unknown Myxobolus spp. were found in the internal organs of rudd, Scardinius erythrophthalmus, and bleak, Alburnus alburnus. Small plasmodia developed in blood vessels of the kidney, liver, testes and intestinal wall. The parasites were studied on the basis of spore morphology and by histological and mole...

NIKOLOV, B. and D. BOYADZIEVA – DOICHINOVA, 2010. Parameters of the red blood cell count in three species of carp fishes. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 16: 307-310 The study was conducted under laboratory conditions during the years 2007-2008. We examined 11 parameters of the red blood cell count in three carp species: Carassius gibelio (L.), Alburnus alburnus (L.) and Scardinius erythrophthalmus (L.)....

This paper considers the length–weight relationship of six out of eight most commonly found fish species inhabiting the Vardar River biotope, the largest riverine system in the central part of the Balkan Peninsula: Alburnoides bipunctatus (Bloch, 1782); Alburnus alburnus (Linnaeus, 1758), Barbus macedonicus Karaman, 1928; Barbus peloponnesius Valenciennes, 1842; Chondrostoma vardarense Karaman,...

the chromosomal spread and karyotype of bleak (alburnus alburnus) from anzali lagoon were identified using tissue squashing techniques with injection of 0.5ml/100g body weight of 0.01% colchicines solution in fish fingerlings. kidney and gill tissues were then extracted and chopped in kcl 0.045m for 20 min and fixed in carnoy solution in 3 stages. the chromosomal spreads were stained in 20% gim...
