SEC 5-25T (Rev. 6/78) 2 Mediterranean and Adriatic species. On the basis of a number of characters the forms of the first species are isolated into the "4eak" group, and the sea trout, the Lake Sevan trout and the Mediterranean species similar to it - into the utitutte group (Savvaitova et al., 1973). Information on the development of the Atlantic salmon is to be found in many papers, although there are few special studies (Battle, 1944; Evropeitseva, 1960). There are data on the embry- ogenesis of the Baltic sub-species (Vernidub and Yandovskaya, 1955). The development of the sea trout has not been studied in detail. On the other hand, the development of the Lake Sevan trout has been quite fully described (Leshchinskaya, 1953). In the present article, a comparative study is made of the Caspian salmon and the Atlantic salmon (Smirnov, 1955), and also of the Ladoga salmon, the Sevan trouts and the rainbow trout (Ryzhkov, 1976). We studied developing eggs obtained during the period 1975- 1978. We collected eggs of the sea trout S. trtutta m. Zactl3t ,Li, inhabiting the lakes on Velikii Island which is in Kandalaksha Inlet of the White Sea, and of the diadromous sea trout and Atlantic salmon of the Nil l ma River (in the same region). Eggs of Atlantic salmon were also obtained from the collection points of the Umba fish hatchery and the Kola River, and eggs of the Baltic salmon - from collection points on the Daugava River. Eggs of two races of the Sevan trout (gegarkuni and the summer race) were taken at the "Lichka" fish hatchery in the Mortuninsk district of the Armenian SSR. 1 1 Valuable help in the collection and delivery of eggs was given by co-workers in the Department of Ichthyology at Moscow University V.V. Zuevskii, M.A. Bek and A.V. Borisov, the director of the Umba fish hatchery V.N. Shilov, the Head of the Production Dept., of the United Fishing Industry of Armenia E.A. Tigranyan, and the director of the "Lichke" fish hatchery M.M. Asatyan. To all these individuals I am deeply grateful. 3 Eggs of not less than 3 females of each population were studied. The study of embryogenesis was made after the transfer 675 of eggs that had already begun to develop, at the White Sea bio- logical station of Moscow University and in the Department of Ichthyology of the Faculty of Biology at Moscow University. The eggs of each form were divided into 2 - 4 series which were then incubated at various temperatures in a Kanid'ev and Grachev apparatus, in a specially manufactured device with closed water circulation, and in cuvettes in which the water was changed every day. In this way, an attempt was made to establish opti- mal conditions for each species. Development was studied in live subjects and entailed the use of a vertical chamber, which made it possible to examine the eggs from the side (Chernyaev, 1962). Numerical data were derived from measuring 20 eggs or 10 fry or larvae of each series. The diameter of the yolk was mea- sured as the half sum of the horizontal and vertical diameters of the membraneless egg being examined in the vertical chamber. For the size of the periviterine space, its width at the animal pole of the egg was taken. The relative size of the perivitel- line space was defined as the ratio of its absolute size to the diameter of the yolk. The diameter of the blastodisc was mea- sured in the 128 blastomeres stage. The stages of hatching were portrayed according to the state of the embryos at the time of mass hatching. In accordance with the theory of stage differentiation ela- borated by Vasnetsov (1953), we distinguish the following stages in the development to the fry period of salmons of genus SaZmo: I - swelling of the eggs, appearance of the perivitelline space and the formation of the blastodisc; II - cleavage; III - blas- tulation (from the beginning of flattening of the blastodisc to the occurrence of asymmetry in its structure); IV - gastrulation; V - organogenesis (from the establishment of the optic vesicles); VI - beginning of mobility of the embryo and of pulsation of the heart; VII - beginning of erythrocytic embryonic blood circula- tion; VIII - hepaticovitelline circulation and preparation for hatching (in this stage the yolk is supplied with blood only from the vena hepatica viteLeinae); Ix - endogenous feeding of the free-moving embryo; X - mixed feeding. Fig. 1. Stages in the development of the Atlantic salmon: a - emergence of 5 somites in the body (epiboly 2/3 complete, pbs - periblastic sinus); b - completion of vascularisation of the yolk, substantial reduction of the right blood vessel in the yolk (direction of the blood flow indicated by arrows); c - hatching stage; d - beginning of transition to the mixed feeding stage.

    Recycled Fish Sculpture Name:__________ Fish: are a paraphyletic group of organisms that consist of all gill-bearing aquatic vertebrate animals that lack limbs with digits. At 32,000 species, fish exhibit greater species diversity than any other group of vertebrates. Sculpture: is three-dimensional artwork created by shaping or combining hard materials—typically stone such as marble—or metal, glass, or wood. Softer ("plastic") materials can also be used, such as clay, textiles, plastics, polymers and softer metals. They may be assembled such as by welding or gluing or by firing, molded or cast. Researched Photo Source: Alaskan Rainbow STEP ONE: CHOOSE one fish from the attached Fish Names list. Trout STEP TWO: RESEARCH on-line and complete the attached K/U Fish Research Sheet. STEP THREE: DRAW 3 conceptual sketches with colour pencil crayons of possible visual images that represent your researched fish. STEP FOUR: Once your fish designs are approved by the teacher, DRAW a representational outline of your fish on the 18 x24 and then add VALUE and COLOUR .

Wasserwirtschaft, download unter www.zobodat.at Wissenschaft Österreichs Fischerei Jahrgang 55/2002 Seite 16–21 Zur aktuellen Situation des Sewan-Sees und seiner einzigartigen Forellen (Salmo trutta L.) JOHANNES SCHÖFFMANN Lastenstraße 25, A-9300 St. Veit/Glan 1. Abstract Present status of Lake Sevan and its unique trouts The Lake Sevan trout, classified conventionally as Salmo ischchan, is endemic to Lake Sevan and its tributaries in the Little Caucasus of Armenia. The water level of Lake Sevan dropped about 20 m between 1949 and 1996 on account of unsustainable water use.Two of the five ecological forms of Sevan trout, the winter bakhtak and the bodzhak, have virtually disappeared due to loss of their spawning places in the lake. The alabalakh, a riverine form, is verging on extinction as a result of poaching, irrigation, and pollution of the lake’s tributaries. The remaining two forms, gegarkuni and summer bakhtak, are highly endangered by the ecological consequences of the declining lake level, eutrophication, overfishing, and introduction of competing fish species as well as by damming, pollution, and water use in the affluents where the trout used to spawn. The most striking feature in all five forms of Sevan trout are the big rounded or irregular shaped spots on the sides of the body, on the dorsal fin, and, in some cases, on the pectoral. This characteristic spotting pattern distinguishes them significally from trouts inhabiting other streams of the Araks basin, supporting the theory of isolated evolution of Sevan trout.

Circular No. 65 9^ RUSSIAN-ENGLISH GLOSSARY OF NAMES OF AQUATIC ORGANISMS AND OTHER BIOLOGICAL AND RELATED TERMS ^5, Compiled by W. E. Ricker Fisheries Research Board of Canada Nanaimo, B.C. August, 1962 FOREWORD This short Russian-English glossary is meant to be of assistance in translating scientific articles in the fields of aquatic biology and the study of fishes and fisheries. j^ Definitions have been obtained from a variety of sources. For the names of fishes, the text volume of "Commercial Fishes of the USSR" provided English equivalents of many Russian names. Others were found in Berg's "Freshwater Fishes", and in works by Nikolsky (1954), Galkin (1958), Borisov and Ovsiannikov (1958), Martinsen (1959), and others. The kinds of fishes most emphasized are the larger species, especially those which are of importance as food fishes in the USSR, hence likely to be encountered in routine translating. However, names of a number of important commercial species in other parts of the world have been taken from Martinsen's list. For species for which no recognized English name was discovered, I have usually given either a transliteration or a translation of the Russian name; these are put in quotation marks to distinguish them from recognized English names.

All species in the family Salmonidae are listed as injurious species under 18 U.S.C. 42 (a) due to the risk of carrying certain pathogens, thus prohibiting their importation unless imported live with a health certification or are dead and eviscerated (USFWS 1967). From Arizona Office of the Secretary of State (2013): “I. Fish listed below are considered restricted wildlife: […] 34. All species of the family Salmonidae. Common names include: trout and salmon.” 1 Means of Introductions in the United States No records of Salmo ischchan in the wild in the United States were found. Remarks From Freyhof (2019): “It is important to note that there is some taxonomic uncertainty associated with Salmo taxa. Collectively, all nine proposed taxa identified by the IUCN SSC Salmon Specialist Group (SSG) as uncertain—Salmo tigridis, S. platycephalus, S. ischchan, S. abanticus, S. labecula, S. chilo, S. opimus, S. rizeensis, and S. coruhensis—could be considered to fall within what some authors have referred to as the Salmo trutta species complex.

  • Trout and Char of Central and Southern Europe and Northern Africa
    12 Trout and Char of Central and Southern Europe and Northern Africa Javier Lobón-Cerviá, Manu Esteve, Patrick Berrebi, Antonino Duchi, Massimo Lorenzoni, Kyle A. Young Introduction !e area of central and southern Europe, the Mediterranean, and North Africa spans a wide range of climates from dry deserts to wet forests and temperate maritime to high alpine. !e geologic diversity, glacial history, and long human history of the region have interacted with broad climatic gradients to shape the historical and cur- rent phylogeography of the region’s native trout and char. !e current distributions and abundances of native species are determined in large part by their fundamental niches (i.e., clean, cold water with high dissolved oxygen). Brown Trout Salmo trutta are relatively common and widespread in the northern and mountainous areas of the region but occur in isolated headwater populations in the warmer southern areas of the region. !ese southern areas provided glacial refugia for salmonids and today har- bor much of the region’s phylogenetic diversity. Despite relatively narrow ecologi- cal requirements in terms of water quality, native and invasive trout and char occur throughout the region’s rivers, lakes, estuaries, and coastal waters. Despite having only a single widely recognized native trout species, the region’s range of environments has produced a remarkable diversity of life histories ranging from dwarf, stunted, short and long-lived, small- and large-sized, stream-resident, lake-resident, fluvial potamo- dromous, adfluvial potamodromous, and anadromous (see Chapter 7). Only one trout and one char are native to the region, Brown Trout and Alpine Char Salvelinus umbla.

  • The State of Population of the Brown Trout in Rivers of Armenia
    World Journal of Fish and Marine Sciences 7 (2): 123-128, 2015 ISSN 2078-4589 © IDOSI Publications, 2015 DOI: 10.5829/idosi.wjfms.2015.7.2.93152 The State of Population of the Brown Trout in Rivers of Armenia K. Aghababyan and G. Khanamirian American University of Armenia, 40 Baghramian 0019 Yerevan, Armenia Abstract: This study is aimed at studying the state of population of the brown trout (Salmo trutta m. fario) in the rivers of Armenia and includes collection of data on the species abundance, water quality, conditions of food supply and habitats, their degradation and major factors of human impact. Monitoring of population of brown trout was carried out in seven provinces of Armenia, on 20 rivers and their tributaries, in the period from 1992 to 2010. In addition, the local people were interviewed for clarification of the applicable fishing practices in the settlements adjacent to the area of field work (23 villages). Summarizing the data for the entire study period, we observed extensive decline in populations of brown trout, but the most dramatic and significant reduction of that happened between 1994 and 1997. Analysis of physical-chemical parameters of water, assessment of degradation of habitats and food supply in 20 surveyed rivers, showed that 18 of them completely satisfy the requirements of the species to habitats. Whereas, the results of the surveys of the local population revealed widespread and long-term practice of prohibited methods of fishing that are most likely the main reason for the recorded population decline. Revision of the conservation status of the species, changes in legislation in terms of administrative and criminal consequences for the practice of prohibited methods and introduction of significant penalties for unauthorized capture and later initiation of reintroduction of the species appear to be the most effective measures for the restoration and management of populations of brown trout in Armenia.

  • Introduced and Invasive Fish Species
    INTRODUCED AND INVASIVE FISH SPECIES Key words: Invasion, Exotic species, Native species Fig – 14.1 INTRODUCTION "Invasive species" is a phrase with several definitions. The first definition expresses the phrase in terms of non-indigenous species (e.g. plants or animals) that adversely affect the habitats they invade economically, environmentally or ecologically. It has been used in this sense by government organizations as well as conservation groups such as the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature). The second definition broadens the boundaries to include both native and non-native species that heavily colonize a particular habitat. The third definition is an expansion of the first and defines an invasive species as a widespread non-indigenous species.This last definition is arguably too broad as not all non- indigenous species necessarily have an adverse effect on their adopted environment. An example of this broader use would include the claim that the common goldfish (Carassius auratus) is invasive. Although it is common outside its range globally, it almost never appears in harmful densities. Conditions that lead to invasion: Scientists propose several mechanisms to explain invasive species, including species-based mechanisms and ecosystem-based mechanisms. It is most likely a combination of several mechanisms that cause an invasive situation to occur, since most introduced plants and animals do not become invasive. Species-based mechanisms: Species-based characteristics focus on competition. While all species compete to survive, invasive species appear to have specific traits or combinations of specific traits that allow them to outcompete native species. Sometimes they just have the ability to grow and reproduce more rapidly than native species; other times it's more complex, involving a multiplex of traits and interactions.
