Zabývá se především jejich předpokládanou parazitofaunou a obsahuje přehled 221 druhů mnohobuněčných cizopasníků zaznamenaných na modelových hostitelských druzích ryb střední Evropy, jejichž parazitofauna je poměrně kvalitně prozkoumána. Část této bakalářské práce se zabývá také základní terminologii doporučené ke studiu společenstev cizopasníků, včetně metod používaných k parazitologické pitvě, izolaci, fixaci a následných laboratorních postupů. Abstract The aim of this thesis is to work up a literature review related to metazoan parasites of endemic freshwater fish species of Leuciscinae and Barbinae occurring in Southern Europe, focused on Greek territory. The thesis presents an overview of 140 representatives of selected groups of fish, of which 47 are found in Greece. It deals mainly with their expected parasitofauna and provides an overview of 221 species of metazoan parasites recorded from model fish hosts in Central Europe, whose parasitofauna is relatively well understood. Part of this thesis also deals with the basic terminology recommended for parasite communities study including methods used to parasitological dissection, isolation, fixation and further laboratory processes. 6 Poděkování Mé poděkování patří především mému vedoucímu doc.

Úvod Evropa patří mezi oblasti světa s velice dobře prostudovanou parazitofaunou sladkovodních a mořských ryb. Česká republika je v tomto kontextu zemí se značně dlouhou rybníkářskou a rybářskou tradicí a podobně jako řada dalších zemí střední a východní Evropy disponuje dostatkem poměrně kvalitních informací o druhovém složení, výskytu, biologii, ekologii, jakož i patogenitě velkého počtu cizopasníků představujících často původce velmi významných onemocnění ryb v nejrůznějších typech rybochovných zařízení (ERGENS & LOM 1970). Určitou výjimku zde představují země jižní a jihovýchodní Evropy, kde byli cizopasníci ryb doposud studováni pouze sporadicky, úroveň jejich poznání je zde tedy spíše velmi malá. Jednou z těchto zemí je Řecko, ze kterého pochází zatím jen zcela ojedinělé informace o parazitech sladkovodních ryb. Tato země, podobně jako některé další jihoevropské státy, je však zcela unikátní výskytem řady endemických druhů sladkovodních ryb. O parazitofauně těchto ryb neexistují v současné době praktický žádné údaje a tato okolnost z nich činí mimořádně zajímavý objekt studia. Pracovní skupina parazitologie Ústavu botaniky a zoologie Přírodovědecké fakulty Masarykovy univerzity v Brně je jednou ze skupin v České republice, kde je ichtyoparazitologie úspěšně rozvíjena a těší se značnému zájmu studentů a doktorandů. Tato skupina je nositelem celé řady projektů, které jí dovolují studovat cizopasníky ryb nejen v Evropě, ale i na některých dalších kontinentech. Výzkum cizopasníků endemických sladkovodních ryb jižní Evropy (Řecka) je tedy plně v souladu s vědecko-výzkumným zaměřením této skupiny a lze očekávat získání velkého počtu zcela originálních poznatků. Bakalářská práce tedy bude součástí komplexního výzkumu parazitů sladkovodních ryb v Evropě, který bude finančně zajištován z projektu Centra Excellence ECIP – Evropské centrum ichtyoparazitologie podporované Grantovou agenturou České republiky. Cíle této bakalářské práce jsou tyto: 1. Seznámit se se základní ichtyoparazitologickou literaturou vztahující se k danému tématu a vypracovat přehled o fauně endemických druhů ryb 9 (Leuciscinae, Barbinae) a o jejich předpokládané parazitofauně v zájmové geografické oblasti. 2. Seznámit se ze základní literaturou týkající se studia složení a struktury společenstev cizopasníků a s příslušnou terminologií. 3. Osvojit si potřebné metody ichtyoparazitologické pitvy sloužící k izolaci, sběru, fixaci cizopasníků a následného morfometrického studia a determinace cizopasníků. 10 2. Ichtyologická charakteristika jižní Evropy Zájmová geografická oblast se nachází v nejjižnější části evropského kontinentu a zahrnuje tyto státy: Španělsko, Portugalsko, Francii, Itálii, Slovinsko, Chorvatsko, Bosnu a Hercegovinu, Černou Horu, Albánii, Makedonii, Bulharsko a Řecko, s tím, že tato práce je zaměřena především na ichtyofaunu Balkánského poloostrova, především na území Řecka. Z hlediska vnitrozemních tekoucích vod a jejich zaústění do moře spadá sledované území převážně do podoblasti středomořské (HANEL & ANDRESKA 2013). Ta se v porovnání se zbytkem Evropy vyznačuje nízkou druhovou bohatostí sladkovodních druhů ryb (ECONOMOU et al. 2007; KOTTELAT & FREYHOF 2007). (Obr. 1) Obr. 1: Druhová bohatost sladkovodních ryb v Evropě, získaná překrytím oblastí výskytu 525 druhů sladkovodních ryb (KOTTELAT & FREYHOF 2007). Takové oblasti jsou však unikátní vysokou druhovou bohatostí endemických druhů sladkovodních ryb (BIANCO 1995; CRIVELLI 1995; ECONOMOU et al. 2007; KOTTELAT & FREYHOF 2007; ESSL et al. 2013). Endemický druh je druh, jehož vznik a rozšíření jsou vázány pouze na určité omezené území a nikde jinde se přirozeně nevyskytuje. Na jihu Řecka a kolem východního pobřeží Jaderského moře 11 se nachází jedna z nejvyšších koncentrací endemických sladkovodních druhů ryb (ZARDOYA & DOADRIO 1999; KOTTELAT & FREYHOF 2007). Podle BOBORI & ECONOMIDIS 2007 je v Řecku nejméně 89 původních

In Croatian watercourses, three members of the genus Barbus are found, B. balcanicus, B. barbus and B. plebejus, each occupying a specific ecological niche. This study examined cytochrome b (cyt b), a common genetic marker used to describe the structure and origin of fish populations to perform a phylogenetic reconstruction of the Danube barbel. Two methods of phylogenetic inference were used: maximum parsimony (MP) and maximum likelihood (ML), which yielded well supported trees of similar topology. The Median joining network (MJ) was generated and corroborated to show the divergence of three lineages of Barbus balcanicus on the Balkan Peninsula: Croatian, Serbian and Macedonian lineages that separated at the beginning of the Pleistocene.

The natural environment, with its flora and fauna, has been subjected to a strong, direct or indirect, anthropogenic impact. In consequence, the total population of wild animals has been considerably reduced, despite efforts to compensate for these errors and expand the scope of animal legal protection to include endangered species. Many animal populations on the verge of extinction have been saved. These actions are ongoing and embrace endangered species as well as those which may be threatened with extinction in the near future as a result of climate change. The changes affect economically valuable species and those of low value, whose populations are still relatively strong and stable. Pre-emptive protective actions and developing methods for the reproduction and rearing of rare species may ensure their survival when the ecological balance is upset. The blue bream is one such species which should be protected while there is still time. Abstract: The blue bream Ballerus ballerus (L.) is one of two species of the Ballerus genus occurring in Citation: Piech, P.; Kujawa, R. Europe. The biotechnology for its reproduction under controlled conditions needs to be developed to Artificial Reproduction of Blue Bream conserve its local populations.

They are involved in economic activities and represent an important part of a country’s raw material potential. Many other organisms are also subject to rational use and protection. They can be associated with true resource species through interspecifi c relationships. The Caspian and Aral Seas are continental water bodies, giant saline lakes. Both categories of species are represented in the benthic and pelagic communities of the Caspian and Aral Seas and are involved in human economic activities.

Read Full License Page 1/19 Abstract After the construction of the Volga Hydroelectric Station and other dams, migration routes of the Caspian lamprey were obstructed. The ecological niches vacated by this species attracted another lamprey of the genus Lampetra to the Upper Volga, which probably came from the Baltic Sea via the system of shipways developed in the 18 th and 19 th centuries. Based on collected samples and observations from sites in the Upper Volga basin, we provide diagnostic characters of adults, and information on spawning behavior. Silver coloration of Lampetra uviatilis was noted for the rst time and a new size-related subsample of “large” specimens was delimited, in addition to the previously described “dwarf”, “small” and “common” adult resident sizes categories. The three water systems: the Vyshnii Volochek, the Tikhvin and the Mariinskaya, are possible invasion pathways, based on the migration capabilities of the lampreys. Dispersal and colonization of the Caspian basin was likely a combination of upstream and downstreams migrations.

The annual reproductive cycle of rudd, Scardinius erythrophthalmus (Cyprinidae) from the lower Oder River and Lake D¹bie, (NW Poland). Folia Biologica (Kraków) 68: 23-33. The rudd is a common freshwater species of the European ichthyofauna, however, this species’ sexual cycle has not yet been described based on the histological analysis of its gonads. The aim of this study was to analyze the annual gonad development cycle of rudd from the watercourses of north-western Poland. Adult individuals aged 2+ to 13+, of both sexes were caught in the Oder River and Lake D¹bie. A standard paraffin technique and six-stage scales were used to assess the development of gonad maturity in both sexes. Rudd gonads developed similarly in the Oder River and Lake D¹bie. Eggs were deposited in batches from the beginning of May to the half of June. Females deposited at least two batches of eggs. In the majority of females collected from these sites, the gonads developed asynchronously throughout the year. Rudd males attained reproductive readiness in the same period as the females, but retained gametes in their gonads for a month longer than the females.
