  • Length-Weight Relationship of Ten Species of Leuciscinae Sub-Family (Cyprinidae) from Iranian Inland Waters
    Int Aquat Res (2020) 12:133–136 https://doi.org/10.22034/IAR(20).2020.1891648.1004 SHORT COMMUNICATION Length-weight relationship of ten species of Leuciscinae sub-family (Cyprinidae) from Iranian inland waters Soheil Eagderi . Atta Mouludi-Saleh . Erdogan Çiçek Received: 23 January 2020 / Accepted: 16 April 2020 / Published online: 16 May 2020 © The Author(s) 2020 Abstract In this study, the length-weight relationships (LWRs) were estimated for 697 specimens belonging to ten species of Leuciscinae subfamily, viz. Squalius berak, S. namak, S. turcicus, Acanthobrama marmid, A. microlepis, Chondrostoma esmaeilii, Leuciscus latus, Alburnus doriae, Leucaspius delineates and Blicca bjoerkna from Iranian inland waters, including the Persian Gulf, Caspian Sea, Namak Lake, Dasht-e Kavir, Hari River and Isfahan basins. Total length and total weight of the examined specimens ranged 3.8-27.8 cm and 0.59-247 g, respectively. Fishes were collected using electrofishing device between July 2010 and August 2017. This study represents the first reports of LWRs data for A. doriae, C. esmaeilii, L. latus and L. delineates. The length-weight parameter b found to be 2.75 (A. microlepis) - 3.44 (B. bjoerkna) with regression coefficients (r2) ranging 0.87 to 0.99 for the studied fishes. The student’s t-test showed all studied species have a positive allometric growth pattern except A. doriae (isometric) and A. microlepis (negative allometric). Keywords LWRs . Leuciscinae . Chondrostoma esmaeilii .

    Shelf life extension of Atlantic pomfret (Brama brama) fillets by packaging under a vacuum-skin system LIPID DETERIORATION DURING CHILLED STORAGE OF ATLANTIC POMFRET (Brama brama) Francisco Pérez-Alonso1, Cristina Arias2 and Santiago P. Aubourg1,* 1 Instituto de Investigaciones Marinas (CSIC) c/ Eduardo Cabello, 6 36208-VIGO (Spain) 2 Departmento de Parasitología Universidad de Vigo As Lagoas-Marcosende 36200-VIGO (Spain) * Correspondent: e-mail: [email protected] Fax number: +34 986 292762 Phone number: +34 986 231930 Running Title: Lipid deterioration in chilled pomfret Key Words: Atlantic pomfret, chilling, muscle zones, lipid damage, amine formation SUMMARY Lipid damage produced during Atlantic pomfret (Brama brama) chilled storage (up to 19 days) was studied. For it, free fatty acid (FFA) and conjugated diene (CD) formation, peroxide value (PV), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and fluorescent compounds formation were measured in two different white muscle zones (dorsal and ventral). Comparison with volatile amine formation (total volatile base-nitrogen, TVB- N; trimethylamine-nitrogen, TMA-N) was carried out. A gradual lipid hydrolysis was observed in both zones along the whole experiment. CD and peroxides formation was important during the experiment; peroxides showed the highest value at day 15 in both zones, that was followed by a peroxide breakdown at day 19. Interaction of oxidized lipids with nucleophilic compounds present in the fish muscle led to a gradual fluorescence development during the storage time in both zones. Mean values of the lipid content showed to be higher in the ventral zone than in the dorsal one, although significant differences could not be detected (p<0.05).

The sampling was done in Mare Lake, Cluj County. The investigations took into account the incidence and infestation levels of fish with Posthodiplostomum cuticola metacercaria. The study results show an incidence of parasitosis of 80.60% for rudd, 75.00%aga for roach and 25.05% for silver bream. Regarding the intensity of infestation (low, medium and high), low levels of infestation are predominant (rudd 72%; roach 83.30%; silver bream 66.60%). The preferred body area for metacercaria (in descending order) are as follows: for rudd 90.00% on the body, 86.00 on the fins and caudal peduncle, and 28.80% on the head; for roach– - 50.00% on the body, 66.00% on the– fins and caudal peduncle, and 33.00% on the head; for silver bream 100.00% on the body, 33.00%– on the fins and caudal peduncle, and 33.00% on the head.

However, the ecological factors promoting hybrid establishment remain poorly understood. Through the application of a multidisciplinary approach integrating genetics, morphometry, life- history, and trophic ecology, we studied the hybrids of roach (Rutilus rutilus L.) and bream (Abramis brama L.), and their parental species inhabiting an Irish lake. The roach ¥ bream hybrid exhibited a body shape intermediate of that of the parental species. Diet analyses depicted the hybrid as a generalist, feeding on all prey items consumed by either parental species. Stable isotope data confirm the trophic niche breadth of hybrids. A significant correlation between body shape and diet was detected, suggesting that the intermediate phenotype of hybrids might play a role in their feeding abilities, resulting in the utilization of a broader trophic spectrum than the parental species.

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.

This key will possibly not work for fishes from other European countries. Nobody is perfect – schon gar nicht ein Bestimmungsschlüssel. Ein Bestimmungsschlüssel baut auf charakteristischen Merkmalen auf, er vereinfacht und kann keinen Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit erheben. Auch dieser Bestimmungsschlüssel ist nur ein Versuch ein komplexes System in einen übersichtliche Form zu bringen. Die Natur sieht aber oft anders aus. Die Bandbreite an Merkmalen ist bei vielen Arten groß. Manche Populationen sind an unterschiedliche Umweltbedingungen angepasst und bilden unterscheidbare ökologische Formen. Andere Populationen sind isoliert und einige davon sind systematisch noch ungenügend erforscht. Möglicherweise taucht ja in Österreich noch die eine oder andere neue Art auf.

Acta univ. agric. et silvic. Mendel. Brun., 2012, LX, No. 6, pp. 357–366 Food composition of common bream (Abramis brama, L.) was studied in the shallow, meso–eutrophic, Hamry reservoir (Czech Republic). Fish were sampled during the daytime in the pre-spawning period (April), the post-spawning (June), summer (July) and autumn (October) in 2011. The bream sampled comprised two main size groups: small, 124–186 mm; and large, 210–315 mm standard length. Twenty specimens of each size group (except April – 40 large fi sh) were taken for analysis on each sampling occasion. Food composition was evaluated using gravimetric methods. Over the whole season, detritus and aquatic vegetation were the dominant dietary items taken. During summer, the diet of large bream comprised mainly aquatic vegetation. Benthic macroinvertebrates and zooplankton formed a minor part of bream diet over the whole season. Specifi c food habits of bream could be explained by specifi c conditions within the reservoir and available food resources. diet, Abramis brama, impoundment, biomanipulation Common bream (Abramis brama, Linnaeus, 1758) deep valley reservoir at Římov were Daphnia is a fi sh species that o en forms a substantial part of and Diaphanosoma.
