Fish) of the Helford Estuary
HELFORD RIVER SURVEY A survey of the Pisces (Fish) of the Helford Estuary A Report to the Helford Voluntary Marine Conservation Area Group funded by the World Wide Fund for Nature U.K. and English Nature P A Gainey 1999 1 Summary The Helford Voluntary Marine Conservation Area (hereafter HVMCA) was designated in 1987 and since that time a series of surveys have been carried out to examine the flora and fauna present. In this study no less that eighty species of fish have been identified within the confines of the HVMCA. Many of the more common fish were found to be present in large numbers. Several species have been designated as nationally scarce whilst others are nationally rare and receive protection at varying levels. The estuary is obviously an important nursery for several species which are of economic importance. A full list of the fish species present and the protection some of them receive is given in the Appendices Nine species of fish have been recorded as new to the HVMCA.

First Record of Shanny Lipophrys Pholis (Blenniidae) in Germany
Bulletin of Fish Biology Volume 19 30.04.2021 111-116 First record of shanny Lipophrys pholis (Blenniidae) in Germany Erstnachweis des Schans Lipophrys pholis (Blenniidae) für Deutschland Heiko Brunken & René Sonntag Hochschule Bremen, Fakultät 5 Natur und Technik, Neustadtswall 30, D-28199 Bremen, Germany, [email protected], [email protected] Summary: In 2016 and 2017, adult and juvenile specimens of Lipophrys pholis (family Blenniidae) were re- corded in rocky tidepools of Helgoland as a fi rst record for Germany. The species, which is more common in south-western areas of the North Sea, shows tendencies to spread into the German Bight, which can be interpreted as an indication of a climate-induced range expansion. Key words: Lipophrys pholis, fi rst record, Helgoland (Germany) Zusammenfassung: Im Felswatt von Helgoland wurden in den Jahren 2016 und 2017 adulte und juvenile Exemplare des Schans (Schleimlerche) Lipophrys pholis (Familie Blenniidae) als Erstnachweis für Deutschland in steinigen Gezeitentümpeln nachgewiesen. Die eher in südwestlichen Bereichen der Nordsee verbreitete Art zeigt Ausbreitungstendenzen in die Deutsche Bucht, was als Hinweis auf eine klimabedingte Arealer- weiterung gedeutet werden kann.

Case study: habitat 1160 ‘Large, shallow inlets and bays’ Kryteria oceny stanu ochrony siedlisk morskich na przykładzie siedliska 1160 ‘Duże płytkie zatoki’ Authors’ Contribution: EF E A – Study Design Monika Michałek , Lidia Kruk - Dowgiałło B – Data Collection C – Statistical Analysis D – Data Interpretation Maritime Institute in Gdańsk, Długi Targ 41/42, 0-830 Gdańsk E – Manuscript Preparation F – Literature Search G – Funds Collection Article history: Received: 30.10.2015 Accepted: 20.11.2015 Published: 31.03.2016 Abstract: Planning effective conservation measures in relation to particular habitats and species, which are the subjects of protection, require, above all, assessing their conservation status and identifying factors that have influenced this state. Although the scope of monitoring and the number of investigated species and habitats from Annex I, II, IV and V of the Habi- tats Directive is gradually increasing, no formal assessment of 1160 habitat has been performed so far. Methodological guide- lines don’t include any assumptions to investigation and valuation of this habitat. In Europe the habitat 1160 is protected in 462 Natura 2000 sites. Due to its significant structural and functional diversity in particular European countries, there is a necessity of working out specific site indices for the state assessment. The aim of this work was the review of methods used in the ‘Large, shallow inlets and bays’ state assessment in selected Euro- pean countries and presentation the assumptions for the assessment in Polish special area of conservation: PLH220032 Puck Bay and Hel Peninsula. -
Bacterioflora of Digestive Tract of Fishes in Vitro Žuvų
ISSN 1392-2130. VETERINARIJA IR ZOOTECHNIKA (Vet Med Zoot). T. 56 (78). 2011 BACTERIOFLORA OF DIGESTIVE TRACT OF FISHES IN VITRO Janina Šyvokienė, Svajūnas Stankus, Laura Andreikėnaitė Institute of Ecology of Nature Research Centre, Akademijos str. 2, LT-08412 Vilnius, Lithuania Tel. +370 5 2729241, fax +370 5 2729352, e-mail: [email protected] Summary. Microbiological method was used to assess peculiarities of abundance of autochthonous and petroleum hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria (HDB) in the digestive tract of fish of different trophic groups and the proportion of HDB in the total heterotrophic bacteria (THB). The number and dynamics of petroleum hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria in the digestive tract of fish was registered in different seasons of the year. Regularities of abundance of petroleum hy- drocarbon-degrading bacteria in freshwater and marine fish species were pointed out. The bacteriocenoses of the diges- tive tract of investigated fish were found to be dominated by the total heterotrophic bacteria. The variability of abun- dance and dynamics of autochthonous and alochthonous bacterioflora of the digestive tract of fish from the Baltic Sea and the Curonian Lagoon was due to fish species, nutrition habits and intensity, and season of the year. The lowest amount of bacteria of investigated functional groups was observed in early spring, and the highest in summer, during intensive fish feeding. The total heterotrophic bacteria in bacteriocenoses of the digestive tract of river perch and gud- geon from the Curonian Lagoon varied from 10-7 to 10-8 g-1 of intestine content. A similar tendency was observed in fish from the Baltic Sea; however, summer counts of THB in fish from the sea were considerably lower than in fish from the Curonian Lagoon. -

An Aquaculture Perspective
biology Review Salmonid Antibacterial Immunity: An Aquaculture Perspective Shawna L. Semple and Brian Dixon * Department of Biology, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON N2L 3G1, Canada; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-519-888-4567 Received: 23 September 2020; Accepted: 8 October 2020; Published: 11 October 2020 Simple Summary: Capture fisheries are reaching their limit, so the increasing demand for fish protein can only be met through aquaculture. One attractive sector within this industry is the culture of salmonids, which are a) uniquely under pressure due to overfishing and b) the most valuable finfish per unit of weight. The culture of these animals is threatened by many diseases, some caused by bacteria, which can result in large financial losses for fish farmers. Unfortunately, the current methods for the control of aquatic bacterial diseases are either unsustainable (antibiotics) or not very effective (vaccines). This is primarily due to a lack of knowledge surrounding the successful immune function of fish. To improve vaccine design and other methods of control, a deeper understanding of fish immunology is essential. This review highlights the current understanding of fish antibacterial immunity in the context of salmonid culture. Additionally, the successes and shortcomings of current methods used to combat bacterial diseases in salmonid aquaculture will be addressed. Improving our understanding of the salmonid immune system will help to reduce aquaculture losses in the future. Abstract: The aquaculture industry is continuously threatened by infectious diseases, including those of bacterial origin. Regardless of the disease burden, aquaculture is already the main method for producing fish protein, having displaced capture fisheries. -
APPENDIX 1 Classified List of Fishes Mentioned in the Text, with Scientific and Common Names
APPENDIX 1 Classified list of fishes mentioned in the text, with scientific and common names. ___________________________________________________________ Scientific names and classification are from Nelson (1994). Families are listed in the same order as in Nelson (1994), with species names following in alphabetical order. The common names of British fishes mostly follow Wheeler (1978). Common names of foreign fishes are taken from Froese & Pauly (2002). Species in square brackets are referred to in the text but are not found in British waters. Fishes restricted to fresh water are shown in bold type. Fishes ranging from fresh water through brackish water to the sea are underlined; this category includes diadromous fishes that regularly migrate between marine and freshwater environments, spawning either in the sea (catadromous fishes) or in fresh water (anadromous fishes). Not indicated are marine or freshwater fishes that occasionally venture into brackish water.
