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. Histopathological sections were taken from musculocutaneous tissue extracted from the dorsal –area of fish which was parasitized with cystic metacercariae. -

The past decade have seen a resurgence of interests in research relating to this public health issue, however there is still a lot to be done. Social Model: Not many models have been explored in Western Siberia to deal with the opisthorchiasis epidemic when compared to the different models that have been used for other regions affected by similar disease. Life Cycle: The complex life cycle of Opisthorchis felineus prevalent among the aboriginal population of the Western Siberian because of their habit of eating raw or undercooked fresh has humans and other feline species as definitive host and is really Diagnosis and Treatment: Diagnosis involve the use of stool microscopy, other methods such as mAb ELISA, LAMP and so on water fish (Cyprinidae) which are intermediate host of the parasite. -

Recent work on fish environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding shows that aquatic diversity can be captured fast, reliably, and non-invasively at moderate costs. Because water in a catchment flows to the lowest point in the landscape, often a stream, it can col- lect traces of terrestrial species via surface or subsurface runoff along its way or when specimens come into direct contact with water (e.g., when drinking). Thus, fish eDNA metabarcoding data can provide information on fish but also on other vertebrate species that live in riparian habitats. This additional data may offer a much more comprehensive approach for assessing vertebrate diversity at no additional costs. Studies on how the sampling strategy affects species detection especially of stream-associated communities, however, are scarce. We therefore performed an analysis on the effects of biological replication on both fish as well as (semi-)terrestrial species detection. -

M. Soes, P. J. Spaans and P.Veenvliet With 2 figures Keywords: Romanogobio, Pisces, Waal, Rhine, The Netherlands, first record Schlagwörter: Romanogobio, Pisces, Waal, Rhein, Niederlande, Erstfund The whitefin gudgeon Romanogobia belingi (Lukasch, 1933) is recorded for he first time from The Netherlands 1 Introduction In the past years the fish fauna of the Dutch rivers belonging to the River Rhine system has been altered significantly. Species introduced to the Rhine system, such as Vimba (Vimba vimba), Asp (Aspius aspius) and Danube bream (Abramis sapa) are nowadays found in the Dutch waters (De Nie, 1996; Frey hof, et al., 2000; Van Emmerik, 2003). One Danubian species, the Tubenose goby (Proterorhinus marmoratus), invaded the River Rhine system via the Main-Danube-Canal and made it up to the Netherlands (Winter, 2002). Several other species of gobies are thought to follow (Freyhof, 2003). Already in 1998, Freyhof reported on another species in the River Rhine, which could be expected to occur in the Netherlands. This species, the White fin gudgeon (Romanogobio belingi (Lukasch, 1933), was found to be common and widespread in German parts of the River Rhine. -

Resolving Cypriniformes Relationships Using an Anchored Enrichment Approach Carla C
Stout et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology (2016) 16:244 DOI 10.1186/s12862-016-0819-5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Resolving Cypriniformes relationships using an anchored enrichment approach Carla C. Stout1*†, Milton Tan1†, Alan R. Lemmon2, Emily Moriarty Lemmon3 and Jonathan W. Armbruster1 Abstract Background: Cypriniformes (minnows, carps, loaches, and suckers) is the largest group of freshwater fishes in the world (~4300 described species). Despite much attention, previous attempts to elucidate relationships using molecular and morphological characters have been incongruent. In this study we present the first phylogenomic analysis using anchored hybrid enrichment for 172 taxa to represent the order (plus three out-group taxa), which is the largest dataset for the order to date (219 loci, 315,288 bp, average locus length of 1011 bp). Results: Concatenation analysis establishes a robust tree with 97 % of nodes at 100 % bootstrap support. Species tree analysis was highly congruent with the concatenation analysis with only two major differences: monophyly of Cobitoidei and placement of Danionidae. Conclusions: Most major clades obtained in prior molecular studies were validated as monophyletic, and we provide robust resolution for the relationships among these clades for the first time. These relationships can be used as a framework for addressing a variety of evolutionary questions (e.g. phylogeography, polyploidization, diversification, trait evolution, comparative genomics) for which Cypriniformes is ideally suited.

Turk J Zool 2011; 35(1): 87-96 © TÜBİTAK Research Article doi:10.3906/zoo-0901-16 Growth, the length-weight relationship, and reproduction in vimba (Vimba vimba L. 1758) sampled from an oligo-mesotrophic lake in northwest Anatolia (Turkey) Hacer OKGERMAN1,*, Mahmut ELP2, Cumhur H. YARDIMCI1 1İstanbul University, Fisheries Faculty, Freshwater Biology Department, İstanbul - TURKEY 2Yüzüncü Yıl University, Agriculture Faculty, Van - TURKEY Received: 13.01.2009 Abstract: The growth parameters and reproduction period in vimba (Vimba vimba L. 1758) sampled from Sapanca Lake were determined monthly between September 2003 and July 2004. The 335 vimba specimens caught ranged in age from 2+ to 6+ years, and the majority of the samples consisted of individuals of the 4+-year-old age group. The length-weight relationship was estimated to be W = 0.0084 FL3.1797±0.0035 for males (r2 = 0.94, P < 0.05) and W = 0.0089 FL3.1572±0.0033 for females (r2 = 0.93, P < 0.05). Regression coefficients for sex were significant (t-test, P < 0.05). The slope (b) significantly differed (ANCOVA, P < 0.05) between months. The fact that the b values for male and female vimba specimens differed from 3.0 indicates that there was positive allometric growth. The von Bertalanffy equation was determined using Lt = 28.940 (1-exp {-0.123[t+2.193]}), ∅’: 2.030, (r = 0.999) for males and Lt = 24.708 [1-exp {-0.205[t+1.464]}), ∅’: 2.097, (r = 0.999) for females. The sex ratio was 1:1.86 (χ2; P < 0.05). The spawning period of vimba began at the end of April and continued until the beginning of July; the water temperature during this period was between 14.8 and 25.9 °C. -
