Newsletter 3 of March 20, 2014 Progetto LIFE11/NAT/IT/188 CON.FLU.PO Newsletter 3 of March 20, 2014 Text and images can be used by quoting the source, author, Project Life Nature Life11NAT / IT / 188 "Restoring connectivity in the Po river basin opening migratory route for Adriatic sturgeon * and 10 fish species in Annex II" and support European Commission. In the previous newsletter, we gave information about the preliminary draft that is centred on the reconnection of the Po river corridor. The barrier of the hydroelectric plant of Isola Serafini has interrupted until now the river continuity about 300 Km from the sea. Enel Green Power SpA, authority and operator of the Isola Serafini dam, is also the Life project co-financier and in particular, it helps the de-fragmentation work of the barrier. The first aim of the project is restoring the Po River continuity by re-opening this ecological corridor which will have positive effects for some migratory species endangered and protected by the EU such as sturgeon, eel, shad, mullet, who need to complete their life cycle passing from soft water to salted ones and vice versa. Thanks to project official website the Preliminary draft was shared not only among the partner of the CON.FLU.PO project and their staff, but also among the stakeholders. In drawing up the final draft, we have considered all the provisions, indications and suggestions received by the technical departments. However, the final design has maintained the general characteristics already defined in the preliminary one. The fish pass to successive basins has a "Y" shape and allows the passage of the fish fauna in both directions. It also restores completely the Po river continuity. The common stretch upstream the Serafini dam presents a structure for monitoring and capture of fish in transit. This structure is highlighted in the yellow circle in the follow picture as well as his rendering. Picture 1: placement for Fish Passage at Isola Serafini; in yellow monitoring and capture structures; in blue the water flow. Through two large windows, you can observe, in presence of an optimum in water clarity, different fish species in transit. In order to have an idea about the functionality of the fish pass, specific cameras will save this transit automatically. In the same area will be built a structure for capture and selection, composed by four large cages organized in variable mesh-nets. They will allow not only the capture of the species in transit in the two different branches but also a specific selection. In fact, any invasive species, such as Wels Catfish will be taken, while others, e.g. specimens of sturgeon, will be marked and released immediately in order to collect important data on their movements. In addition to the benefits listed above, we recall the support provided by these facilities to educational activities developed under the project, including a multimedia classroom. From the common part of the fish pass upstream the dam, the two branches of the structure divide themselves and the left one (Picture 1) acts as a link with the natural branch of the river (Picture 2). Picture 2: stretch that connects the upstream flow with natural branch of the PO River, downstream of Isola Serafini The other branch, the right one (Picture1), acts as a link with the artificial branch (Picture 3). Picture 3: stretch that connects the upstream flow with artificial branch of the PO River, downstream of Isola Serafini. It is interesting to remember that every following basins of the fish pass, has a minimum length of 4.75 meters and a minimum width of 2.80 meters. These dimensions were chosen in order to allow the transit of sturgeon, which can reach to 1.5 / 2 meters in length and which was used as target species for this project. Realized Conference Services for the fish pass The fish pass of Isola Serafini is, without doubt, a work of extreme value and its realization does not end with just the design phase, but is bound by law to a series of technical and institutional steps. In this complex process, the Conference of Services performs a key role. Infact, it is call, lawfully, not only in order to collect suggestions for improving the work but also in order to obtain the agreement by the Institutional Authority. The AIPo (Interregional Agency for the Po River) is the managing authority of the entire procedure. It has, infact, the role of supervising the technical planning of the reconnection of the Po river corridor. AIPo called, on the 6th of March, at the Parma headquarters, 17 managing institution in order to express opinion about the final plan. During the opening session, the designers have presented to the participants the final plan emphasizing its importance in the process of Po basin de-fragmentation, as well as explaining the technical aspects of the whole project realization. After a deep analysis, the work realization has not only an ecological value but also different and relevant technical and legal interests involved; AIPo has incorporated the suggestions of the present Institutional bodies. It was therefore expressed a favourable opinion about the acts concerning the procedure for approval of the project. Designers will complete the executive draft on 30th April 2014. .

Update on the implementation of past recommendations/action items Spring 2015 – Recommendation: isac recommends that the nisc member agencies develop the early detection and rapid response framework and emergency funding plan called for in the Council on Climate Preparedness and Resilience and Natural Resources Working Group’s Priority Agenda: Enhancing the Climate Resilience of America’s Natural Resourc- es (October 2014); and, that they seek the involvement and advice of non-federal stakeholders, subject matter experts, tribal, state, and local government representatives who will be critical partners in the successful implementation of this framework and fund. In February, the Administration released the interdepartmental report, Safeguarding America’s Lands and Waters from Invasive Species: A National Framework for Early Detection and Rapid Response (https://www.doi.gov/ppa/reports-and-statistics). The nisc Management Plan, released in July, incorporates recommendations in the report as action items. This includes un- dertaking a series of scientific, technical, and institutional assessments to determine the capacities and resources necessary to establish a national edrr program. The nisc Secretariat is facilitating these assessments which are in progress. Additional action items within the nisc Management Plan related to the edrr Framework include: Establish Terms of Reference for and institute a National edrr Task Force within the nisc structure that will guide implementation of the edrr Framework; Produce an implementation plan for a nation-wide program for edrr; Assess investments, resource needs, and opportunities to leverage additional resources; Conduct cost-benefit analyses of edrr programs for potential invasive species; and Promote pilot projects across a variety of U.S.

One of the few locations with naturally occurring wels catfish in Sweden is Lake Båven, situated about an hour and a half south of Stockholm, in the county of Södermanland. Due to declines of the Swedish catfish populations, which are mostly a result of human impacts such as the destruction of spawning habitats, conservational actions are now needed in purpose to secure the future of the species in Sweden.

Compiling different bibliographical sources, a total of 732 taxa of specific and subspecific order remained. It is about the six large vertebrate classes of Romanian fauna. The first class (Cyclostomata) is represented by only four species, and Pisces (here considered super-class) – by 184 taxa. The rest of 544 taxa belong to Tetrapoda super-class which includes the other four vertebrate classes: Amphibia (20 taxa); Reptilia (31); Aves (382) and Mammalia (110 taxa). Résumé. Cette contribution à la systématique des vertébrés de Roumanie s’adresse à tous ceux qui sont intéressés par la zoologie en général et par la classification de ce groupe en spécial. Elle représente le début d’une thème de confrontation des opinions des spécialistes du domaine, ayant pour but final d’offrir aux élèves, aux étudiants, aux professeurs de biologie ainsi qu’à tous ceux intéressés, une synthèse actualisée de la classification des vertébrés de Roumanie. En compilant différentes sources bibliographiques, on a retenu un total de plus de 732 taxons d’ordre spécifique et sous-spécifique. Il s’agît des six grandes classes de vertébrés. La première classe (Cyclostomata) est représentée dans la faune de Roumanie par quatre espèces, tandis que Pisces (considérée ici au niveau de surclasse) l’est par 184 taxons. Le reste de 544 taxons font partie d’une autre surclasse (Tetrapoda) qui réunit les autres quatre classes de vertébrés: Amphibia (20 taxons); Reptilia (31); Aves (382) et Mammalia (110 taxons).

  • Five Species of Sturgeons Under the Endangered Species Act
    This document is scheduled to be published in the Federal Register on 10/31/2013 and available online at http://federalregister.gov/a/2013-25358, and on FDsys.gov Billing Code 3510-22-P DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 50 CFR Part 224 [Docket No. 120705210-3872-02] RIN 0648-XC101 Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; 12-Month Finding and Proposed Endangered Listing of Five Species of Sturgeons under the Endangered Species Act AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce. ACTION: Proposed rule; 12-month petition finding; request for comments. SUMMARY: We, NMFS, have completed comprehensive status reviews under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of five species of foreign sturgeons in response to a petition. We have determined, based on the best scientific and commercial data available and after taking into account efforts being made to protect the species, that Acipenser naccarii (Adriatic sturgeon), and A. sturio (European sturgeon) in Western Europe, A. sinensis (Chinese sturgeon) in the Yangtze River basin, and A. mikadoi (Sakhalin sturgeon) and Huso dauricus (Kaluga sturgeon) in the Amur River Basin/Sea of Japan/Sea of Okhotsk region, meet the definition of endangered species. We are not proposing to designate critical habitat because the geographical areas occupied by these species are entirely outside U.S. jurisdiction and we have not identified any unoccupied areas that are currently essential to the conservation of any of these species. We are soliciting information that may be relevant to these listing and critical habitat determinations, 1 especially on the status and conservation of these species.

  • A Set of Synopses of Works Which Are Planned to Report at the KINR Annual Conference-2020
    A set of Synopses of works which are planned to report at the KINR Annual conference-2020 PLASMA PHENOMENA CONNECTED WITH THE TRANSFER OF ENERGY AND MOMENTUM BY EIGENMODES A. V. Tykhyy Institute for Nuclear Research, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kyiv, Ukraine The phenomenon of SC of energy and momentum is a factor that can affect plasma performance in toroidal devices. It is associated with energetic ions produced by NBI, ICRH, and fusion reactions; but it can occur also in a Maxwellian plasma, being caused by suprathermal ions with energies exceeding the thermal energy by a few times. The latter is true, at least, for stellarators where Alfvén eigenmodes can be destabilized by the ion temperature gradient due to non- axisymmetric resonances. In the steady state, the mode energy flux is directed from the unstable region to the region where damping dominates, i.e., either outwards or inwards. However, when the drive exceeds the damping, so that the mode amplitude grows, the picture of the mode fluxes is more complicated, and both outward and inward wave energy / momentum fluxes in different plasma regions during the same instability may occur. Since SC transfers energy and momentum, it may affect plasma energy confinement (deteriorating or improving it), plasma rotation and concomitant frequency Doppler shift, the heating of the electron and ion components, and features of the eigenmodes themselves. In general, SC plays a considerable role when, first, the region driving the instability is well separated from the damping region Sketch of spatial channeling and, second, the mode amplitudes are not very small.
