AbstractThe morphological and biological characteristics of the striped seabream Lithognathus mormyrus of the Black Sea were investigated. The conclusion about the naturalization of this species in the Black Sea as a result of the natural process of mediterranization was made on the basis of numerous finds of adult individuals and juveniles of this...
This paper presents integrated research on ecosystems of small lakes experiencing the direct impact of a copper-nickel ore processing plant, the &ldquo / Kolskaya GMK&rdquo / (MS KGMK), near the town of Monchegorsk Kola Peninsula, Russia. An integrated research method with the analysis of both abiotic and biotic components of aquatic ecosystems was...

AbstractThe study has been focused on the population composition dynamics and trophic relationships of Simocephalus vetulus (O.F. Müller, 1776) in the absence of the food stress of ichthyofauna in flow-through ecosystems in Patriarshie Prudy pond. The role of S. vetulus species in the plant-eating zooplankton, the suppression of blooming, and the p...

Abstract—Spatial and temporal changes in the species composition and structure of the fish community in one of the typical small rivers of Crimea have been evaluated. It is noted that the economic activity and changes in the water regime, which are mainly due to anthropogenic factors, have led to a more than fivefold increase in the number of fish ...
Most of the biodiversity studies in the South European Atlantic Shelf ecoregion are limited to shallow subtidal or intertidal habitats, while deeper reef habitats, also of relevant ecological importance, are particularly understudied. Macroalgal communities, associated fauna, and sea surface temperature were studied in deep reefs (25&ndash / 30 m) ...
ABSTRACT When a river is dammed, impacts differ according to distance from the dam under consideration, and sites closer to the dam are more affected than distant ones. Damming a river changes the flow and landscape characteristics, which, in turn, change the hydrological, limnological and ecological dynamics, such as biological production, species...
Increased connectivity between coastal lagoons and the sea is expected to entail a greater proportion of marine species in the former. Chetumal Bay, estuary of the Hondo river into the Caribbean, had a limited access to the sea until the opening of the Zaragoza Canal. We sought changes in the fish community from 1999&ndash / 2001 (just after an exp...

Redang Islands Marine Park consists of nine islands in the state of Terengganu, Malaysia. Redang Island is one of the largest off the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, which is famous for its crystal-clear waters and white sandy beaches. The ichthyofauna of the Redang archipelago was surveyed by underwater visual observations between August 2016 a...

This article is based on a literature review and attempts to highlight the harmful effects of forest soil erosion on aquatic ecosystems with particular emphasis on ichthyofauna. We focus on the phenomena of excessive soil erosion caused by forest management practices and forest roads, subsequent sediment runoff as well as silting of watercourses an...

AbstractThe materials of long-term studies (1996–2017) on the fish fauna in the basin of the Maly Patok River, which is the key river in the watershed of European and Siberian rivers and the boundary between the Subpolar and Northern Urals areas, have been generalized. The local ichthyofauna consists of 11 species, including anadromous (Atlantic sa...
