Exceptions are species included in the Fisheries Act. This allows the stocking of a number of exotic fish species, without analysing their potential risks in relation to biodiversity or genetic pollution. Therefore the Bureau for Risk Assessment & Research Programming (Bureau Risicobeoordeling & Onderzoeksprogrammering, BuRO) of the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (Nederlandse Voedsel- en Warenautoriteit, NVWA) commissioned a risk analysis for the exotic fish species included in the Fisheries Act. The risk analyses was carried out by a project group formed from the following partners: Stichting RAVON / Nederlands Expertise Centrum Exoten (NEC-E) Ing. M.E. Schiphouwer MSc Ir. J. Kranenbarg Drs. R. Zollinger Radboud University Nijmegen / NEC-E J. Matthews MSc Dr. R.S.E.W. Leuven Dr. H.J.R. Lenders Dr. G. van der Velde Natuurbalans-Limes Divergens / NEC-E N. van Kessel MSc Ir. B.H.J.M.

Rietveld-Piepers (BuRO) for the supervision that was provided for this risk analysis and her valuable contribution to the risk classification workshop process. Furthermore we would like to thank Dr. H. Verreycken (INBO, Belgium) and Drs. F. Spikmans (RAVON/NEC-E) for their contribution to the risk classification workshop. We would like to thank Drs. P. Frigge (RAVON/NEC-E) for the database analyses. For providing photographs of different species we are grateful to Ing. P. Beelen (Sportvisserij Nederland), Ing. A. de Bruin (Stichting RAVON/Blikonderwater.nl), J. Herder MSc (Stichting RAVON/Digitalnature.org), Drs. F. Spikmans (RAVON) and Dr. I.J. Winfield (Centre for Ecology & Hydrology). 1 2 SUMMARY This report describes a risk analysis of exotic fish species which are included in the Dutch Fisheries Act and their hybrids. A literature research and database analysis provided information that is contained in the following sections: a species description; risk analysis; risk classification and management options. The risk analysis was carried out for the following species and a single hybrid: Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus); asp (Leuciscus aspius); common carp (Cyprinus carpio); eastern mudminnow (Umbra pygmaea); grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella); hybrid ‘cross carp’ (Cyprinus carpio X Carassius spp.); pike-perch (Sander lucioperca); Prussian carp (Carassius gibelio) and vendace (Coregonus albula). Although, even though the sea trout (Salmo trutta trutta) was present in the initial selection of exotic species, it was decided by expert consensus to treat it as a native species. Therefore, a risk assessment was not carried out in this case. Of the analysed species, asp, common carp, pike-perch and Prussian carp have the highest invasiveness based on dispersion and reproduction potential. As a result of their relatively long invasion history, these species already occur widely. Also grass carp, a species with a medium invasiveness due to its inability to reproduce, occurs widely as a result of intensive stocking and dispersion. The eastern mudminnow has a relatively long introduction history but a lower invasiveness, it therefore occurs in a restricted range only. The stocked hybrid ‘cross carp’ is probably able to reproduce, but it’s invasiveness is unknown. It currently occurs in isolated populations.

Since the work of J.J. Heckel (1846-1849), the number of valid species has increased significantly and the systematic status of many of the species has changed, and reorganization and updating of the published information has become essential. Here we take the opportunity to provide a new and updated checklist of freshwater fishes of Iran based on literature and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history and new fish collections. This article lists 288 species in 107 genera, 28 families, 22 orders and 3 classes reported from different Iranian basins. However, presence of 23 reported species in Iranian waters needs confirmation by specimens.

Since then, it has been caught during the periodical (three times per year) monitoring only sporadically. Conversely, in October and November 2012 R. cf. belingi was recorded frequently along an y60-km lowermost stretch of the Nida River. The abundance of this fish gradually increased downstream. This paper provides details of that phenomenon and discusses it in the context of the currently known distribution of this species.

The list consists of 33 taxons, with current nomenclature and position in a collection. Historical as- pects have been discussed, in order to provide a depth to the process of collection dissapearance dur- ing more than one century of Romanian zoological research. Natural calamities, wars and the evictions of the museum’s buildings that followed, and sometimes the neglection of the collections following the decease of their founder, are the major problems that contributed gradually to the transformation of the taxon/specimen into a historical landmark and not as an accessible object of further taxonomical inquiry. Keywords Grigore Antipa, museum, type collection, type specimens, new taxa, natural history, zoological col- lections. Introduction This paper is dedicated to 150 year anniversary of Grigore Antipa’s birth, the great Romanian scientist and the founding father of the modern Romanian zoology.

M. Soes, P. J. Spaans and P.Veenvliet With 2 figures Keywords: Romanogobio, Pisces, Waal, Rhine, The Netherlands, first record Schlagwörter: Romanogobio, Pisces, Waal, Rhein, Niederlande, Erstfund The whitefin gudgeon Romanogobia belingi (Lukasch, 1933) is recorded for he first time from The Netherlands 1 Introduction In the past years the fish fauna of the Dutch rivers belonging to the River Rhine system has been altered significantly. Species introduced to the Rhine system, such as Vimba (Vimba vimba), Asp (Aspius aspius) and Danube bream (Abramis sapa) are nowadays found in the Dutch waters (De Nie, 1996; Frey­ hof, et al., 2000; Van Emmerik, 2003). One Danubian species, the Tubenose goby (Proterorhinus marmoratus), invaded the River Rhine system via the Main-Danube-Canal and made it up to the Netherlands (Winter, 2002). Several other species of gobies are thought to follow (Freyhof, 2003). Already in 1998, Freyhof reported on another species in the River Rhine, which could be expected to occur in the Netherlands. This species, the White­ fin gudgeon (Romanogobio belingi (Lukasch, 1933), was found to be common and widespread in German parts of the River Rhine.

  • Coregonus Maraena) Ecological Risk Screening Summary
    Maraena Whitefish (Coregonus maraena) Ecological Risk Screening Summary U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, April 2011 Revised, September 2014 and June 2017 Web Version, 09/14/2017 Image: E. Östman. Public domain. Available: http://eol.org/data_objects/26779416. (June 2017). 1 Native Range, and Status in the United States Native Range From Froese and Pauly (2017): “Europe: In the Baltic Sea: Swedish coast (including Bothnian Gulf, not in Gotland); in southern Baltic, extending from the Schlei to Gulf of Finland. Southeast North Sea Basin: Ems, Weser and Elbe drainages 1 and small rivers of Schleswig-Holstein and Denmark. Landlocked in several lakes in Poland, Sweden, and Russia.” Status in the United States From Neilson (2017): “Failed introduction.” “A shipment of 409 individuals from Lake Miedwie (formerly Madue Lake), Poland was stocked in Garnder Lake, Michigan in 1877 (Baird 1879; Todd 1983).” Means of Introductions in the United States From Neilson (2017): “Coregonus maraena, along with other species of Coregonus, was intentionally stocked as a food fish by the U.S. Fish Commission (Todd 1983). According to Baird (1879), 1,000 eggs of C. maraena were shipped from Poland to Michigan in 1877 and hatched in captivity at the State Hatching House in Detroit. A total of 409 of the young fish were stocked in Gardner Lake (Baird 1879; Todd 1983). Baird (1879) considered the stocking an experimental introduction of a European food fish.” Remarks From Neilson (2017): “There is much confusion regarding the identity of whitefish imported from Germany in the late 1800s by the U.S. Fish Commission, primarily due to the uncertain taxonomy and systematics of Coregonus (Kottelat and Freyhof 2007).
