Age Structure of the Endemic Fish Phoxinellus Pseudalepidotus (Cyprinidae) from Mostarsko Blato (Neretva River Basin, Bosnia and Herzegovina)

Fish sampling was carried out in 2009 by gill nets and „krtol“, traditional hunting tool in the area of Mostarsko Blato (Neretva River Basin, Bosnia and Herzegovina). In order to analyze age structure of the population, 70 units of various age categories were taken. Length range of all analyzed units was from 2,7 to 11,5 cm. By reading otoliths, a total of four age classes was established: 0+, 1+, 2+ and 3+. The largest part of the sample consisted of 2- year-old units (40%). There were 28,6% of 1-year-old units, 27,1% of 3-year-old units, and 4,3% of 4-year- old units. The mean estimated total length (TL) of 1-year-old P. pseudalepidotus was 4 cm; 2-year-old, 6,7 cm; 3-year-old, 9,15 cm; 4-year-old, 11,05 cm. -
Genetic Structure of the Vairone Telestes Souffia in the Eastern Part

Results emphasize the critically endangered status of this freshwater fish in the upper Rhine River system. © 2010 The Authors Journal compilation © 2010 The Fisheries Society of the British Isles Key words: bottleneck; conservation; Cyprinidae; freshwater fish; microsatellites; population genetics. Climatic oscillations during the Quaternary had an important effect on the actual distribution and the genetic structure of many freshwater fish species, especially in previously glaciated areas due to founder events (Bernatchez, 2001; Ramstad et al., 2004). In addition to natural events, human interactions (such as fisheries, habitat fragmentation and pollution) have imprinted the population genetic structure of many fish species in the recent past (Laroche & Durand, 2004). Combining population genetic data with geographical information, life-history traits of a species and data on past events such as climatic fluctuations or human interference can provide important insights into the factors that shaped the structure of populations, the evolutionary history of a species and its conservation status. -
