Most cyprinid fishes are opportunistic feeders, although most species prefer a certain habitat and certain food types (Lammens and Hoogenboezem 1991, Sibbing 1991). The research in this thesis is part of a major research line of the section Functional Morphology (Department of Experimental Animal Morphology and Cell Biology). This research line studies the relations between the structural design of the feeding apparatus of cyprinids, their effectiveness of food-intake and -processing (functional morphology) and their ecological niche (ecomorphology). A fish design which is optimal for proces­ sing all available food types probably does not exist, since an optimal design for the exploitation of one food type is likely to impose limitations on the exploitation of other food types (functional demands are often incompatible). A detailed comparative study of relevant morphological and kinematical parameters may therefore reveal structural adaptations (or limitations) for the utilization of particular food types. In general, structural or mechanical models are used to study the adaptations of the feeding appara­ tus for a particular food type. These models reflect the ideas of the researcher about the function of (parts of) the feeding apparatus. Such models should have a limited set of morphological and kinematical parameters which determine the effectiveness of the utilization of specific food types. When the model parameters of a fish species are known, it should be possible to decide whether the model applies to that species. If it does, the model parameters of the fish can be used to predict its feeding effectiveness for the particular food type. Ideally, the optimal design and movement pattern of a fish for a specific food type can be determined by varying the value of the model parameters until an optimum in effectiveness is found. An important question in ecomorphological studies is whether morphological adaptations are the cause or the result of the ecological niche of the fish under study. The answer to that question depends on the timescale : individual life span or geological time span. The former line of thought (adaptation as a cause) is useful to explain the structure of an existing ecosystem, whereas the latter is better suited to explain the evolution of species. Alexander (1988) stressed the importance of combining these two views. It is important to realize that morphology and ecology are strongly intertwined. The ecologist Schoener wrote (1982): "if morphological adaptations constitute a genetic memory of such competition, they will more accurately reflect its ecological impor­ tance". Somewhat cynically, the drastic disturbance of the biotic and abiotic conditions

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.

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.

The experimental fish were obtained in natural condition from Vistula River, located within Toruń, near wastewater treatment plant. The study involved 60 individuals of freshwater fish caught in autumn. Analyses were carried out on 10 individuals of common bream, 20 white bream and 30 individuals of common bleak. The muscles samples for analyses were taken from the large side muscle of fish body above the lateral line. There were chosen for analyses individuals with similar biometric measurements. Due to a relatively low amounts of meat obtained from white bream and common bleak, the material from individuals of similar body length was combined (about 2-3 pieces).

Gagarina, 72, 49010 Dnipro, Ukraine; e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] This paper describes spawning events of the white bream Blicca bjoerkna (Linnaeus, 1758 )in astronomical and biological time depending on seasonal patterns of climatic conditions. The research was conducted in the "Dnipro-Orilskiy" Nature Reserve (Ukraine) during the years 1997–2015 in four habitat types. The timing of the spawning event (start, end) was evaluated using astronomical time (number of days from January 1 each year), with correction for the lunar and the semilunar cycle, and using biological time (number of days from the end of spawning in the previous year to the beginning and end of spawning in the current year). The spawning phenology of the white bream was found to be dependent on the dynamics of weather conditions over time. Patterns of varying climatic regimes which are expressed by means of multivariate principal component are the most informative predictors of the spawning events. Evaluation of occurrence of spawning events in astronomic or biological time gives somewhat different models of the impact of climate regimes.

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.
