Non-Native Fish Species in Slovak Waters Biologia 65/6: 1057—1063, 2010 Section Zoology DOI: 10.2478/s11756-010-0114-7 Non-native fish species in Slovak waters: origins and present status Ján Koščo1,LenkaKošuthová2 , Peter Košuth2 & Ladislav Pekárik3 1Faculty of Human and Natural Sciences, University of Prešov, 17. novembra 1,SK-08116 Prešov, Slovakia; e-mail: [email protected] 2Institute of Breeding and Diseases of Game and Fish, University of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy, Komenského 73, SK-04181 Košice, Slovakia 3Institute of Zoology, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Dúbravská cesta 9,SK-84506 Bratislava, Slovakia Abstract: Freshwater fishes recorded in the territory of Slovakia include 95 fish species. As many as one third of these are allochthonous fish species belonging to 14 families, among which several have not occurred in Slovakia recently. Historically, there were three main periods of introduction: the first is the beginning of the 20th century, the second includes two decades between 1955 and 1975 and the third period is from the year 1990 up to the present time. The origins of the exotic species seen in Slovakia are the four continents – Africa (3), North America (7), Central America (3), and Asia (13) and ten of them are from different regions in Europe. The purpose of intentional introductions of non-native species was to occupy vacant ecological niches in the ecosystems reshaped by human activities, fish stocking, angling or fish farming. Some of these species spread from their original ranges or they penetrated spontaneously from the adjacent countries via the river network system. At the present time, 76 fish species in total form populations in Slovakia. There are 54 autochthonous and 22 allochthonous species, 14 of them are exotic fishes. The invasive characters in 13 fish species were considered, the recent native/total fish ratio is 0.71.

  • Cyprinus Rubrofuscus) Produced from Native and Cryopreserved Sperm Using Microsatellite Loci Uliana S
    A comparative analysis of Amur carp (Cyprinus rubrofuscus) produced from native and cryopreserved sperm using microsatellite loci Uliana S. Kuts, Serhii I. Тarasjuk, Ihor I. Hrytsyniak, Olga V. Zaloilo, Hanna A. Kurynenko Institute of Fisheries of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine, 03164, Kyiv, 135, Ukraine. Corresponding author: U. S. Kuts, [email protected] Abstract. The aim of the work was to conduct a comparative analysis of Amur carp (Cyprinus rubrofuscus) produced from fresh and defrosted sperm, which was cryopreserved for 24 years, based on the polymorphism of microsatellite loci and to study the heterogeneity of these groups. The genetic structure of carp produced from the defrosted sperm represented a range of amplicons of local stocks. Specific alleles occurred at MFW 6 and MFW 31 loci, which were not observed in the local carp group. This indicates a higher level of polymorphism, which was also confirmed by the higher Shannon biodiversity index at these loci (I = 1.727 in the cryo-carp group vs I = 1.383 in the local carp group). The mean number of alleles per locus (Na) and the effective number of alleles per locus (Ne) was higher in the cryo-carp group (Na = 7.25 and Ne = 5.2) compared to the local carp group (Na = 5.75 and Ne = 3.9). The genetic variability was distributed by 7.7% (Fst = 0.077) between the studied carp groups. The microsatellite markers used were found to be highly informative (average PIC = 0.678), and therefore effective for further use in monitoring the changes in the gene pool of cyprinids under the effect of cryopreservation.

Schyzocotyle acheilognathi has been reported from eastern coastal areas of Australia, but has not been previously reported in Western Australia (WA). Methods During a control program for invasive freshwater shes in south-western WA, a region with a unique and highly endangered freshwater sh fauna, tapeworms identied as S. acheilognathi from their distinctive scolex morphology were found at a prevalence of 3.3% in goldsh (Carassius auratus), 37.0% in koi carp (Cyprinus carpio haematopterus), and 65.0% in eastern mosquitosh (Gambusia holbrooki). For molecular conrmation, the 18S rRNA gene was targeted at hypervariable region V4 using conventional PCR and Sanger sequencing.

  • Predicting the Distribution of the Chinese Mystery Snail, Cipangopaludina Chinensis, a Potentially Invasive, Non-Indigenous Species, in Atlantic Canada
    Predicting the distribution of the Chinese mystery snail, Cipangopaludina chinensis, a potentially invasive, non-indigenous species, in Atlantic Canada By: Sarah Kingsbury This thesis is submitted to Saint Mary’s University, Halifax, Nova Scotia in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Masters of Applied Science in Applied Sciences.

Currently, little is known about C. chinensis in North America. My thesis objectives were to: (1) synthesize relevant literature and confirm whether C. chinensis should be considered invasive in North America, (2) determine the known species occurrence in continental North America highlighting reporting gaps, and (3) create a species distribution model for C. chinensis in the Maritimes. The literature review indicated that C. chinensis should be considered invasive in North America. The largest number of reported occurrences were in southern Ontario and northern US along the Great Lakes with the lowest in the Maritimes, the Prairies, Quebec, and near Lake Superior. Finally, a random forest model was developed to predict C. chinensis distribution in Nova Scotia, with highest probable occurrence in the Halifax-area, the New Brunswick-Nova Scotia border, and Cape Breton.
