First Finding of Species Alburnus Arborella (Bonaparte, 1841) Syn Journal of Survey in Fisheries Sciences 6(2) 79-92 2020 First finding of species Alburnus arborella (Bonaparte, 1841) syn. Alburnus alborella (De Filippi, 1844)(Actinoptery GII: Cyprinidae, Alburninae) in Buško Lake Ţujo Zekić D.1*; Riđanović S.1; Spasojević P.1 Received: May 2019 Accepted: December2019 Abstract In this paper we present data about first findings of species Alburnus arborella(Bonaparte, 1841) syn. Alburnus alborella (De Filippi, 1844) (Actinoptery GII: Cyprinidae, Alburninae) in Buško Lake (Municipality Livno).In this report twenty – four specimens were cought during research period in two seasons in 2018. More specifically, trips to the catchment areas were made in spring-summer season from 12.06.2018 to 18.07.2018. and 22.11.2018.Determination of individuals was made on the basis of analysis of individual morphometric and meristic characterswith the exact length and weight of the individuals.This is the first finding of this species probably brought and introduced by fishermen.The findings of this species in Bosnia and Herzegovina have so far been confirmed in the Neretva watercourse and in the Ričica river in the Republic of Croatia.

  • The Diet of Otters (Lutra Lutra) on the Agri River System, One of the Most Important Presence Sites in Italy: a Molecular Approach
    The diet of otters (Lutra lutra) on the Agri river system, one of the most important presence sites in Italy: a molecular approach Maria Buglione1, Simona Petrelli1, Claudia Troiano2, Tommaso Notomista1, Eleonora Rivieccio1 and Domenico Fulgione1 1 Department of Biology, University of Naples Federico II, Naples, Italy, Italy 2 Department of Humanities, University of Naples Federico II, Naples, Italy, Italy ABSTRACT Background. The Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) underwent a strong decline in large areas of the Central-Western part of its distribution range, during the second half of the twentieth century. In Italy, only residual fragmented nuclei survive in the Central- Southern part of the peninsula. Nowadays, the otter is one of the most endangered mammals in Italy, and increasing the knowledge about the ecology of this species is a key step in defining fitting management strategies. Here we provide information about the diet of otter on the Agri river system, one of the most important presence sites in Italy, to understand both the species' food requirements and the impact on fish communities. Methods. DNA metabarcoding and High Throughput Sequencing were used on DNA extracted from spraints. We amplified DNA with a primer set for vertebrates, focusing efforts on the bulk of the otter's diet (fishes and amphibians). Results. Our findings showed that the diet of the otter was dominated by cyprinids (97.77%, and 99.14% of fishes), while amphibians represented 0.85% of the sequences analyzed. Results are in general accordance with previous studies based on morpho- logical characterization; however, molecular analyses allow the resolving of some Submitted 26 March 2020 morphological uncertainties.

The morphometric, meristic and phenotypical characters of the members of the genus Alburnus from the Adriatic Basin were analyzed on specimens from 11 localities, representing eight watersheds. The number of gill rakers, the number of lateral line scales, the number of branched anal fi n rays and the coverage of the ventral keel by scales have the greatest signifi cance in differentiating between species. Signifi cant morphological differences exist between the Alburnus population from Lake Lugano (type locality for Alborella maxima Fatio, 1882) and all the remaining investigated populations.

  • Aggiornamento Sistematico Dei Pesci D' Acqua Dolce
    It.J.Fresh.Ichthyol. Italian Journal of Freshwater Ichthyology, 2014 vol. 1 2014(1) : 133-162. Atti XIII Congresso Nazionale Associazione Italiana Ittiologi Acque Dolci – Sansepolcro (Ar) AGGIORNAMENTO SISTEMATICO DEI PESCI D’ ACQUA DOLCE AUTOCTONI ITALIANI: PROPOSTA DI UN WORKSHOP PIER GIORGIO BIANCO Dipartimento delle Scienze Biologiche, Sezione Zoologica, Via Mezzocannone, 8, Università Napoli Riassunto Dalla monografia di Gandolfi et al. (1991) sui pesci d’acqua dolce italiani, tuttora in uso dalla maggior parte degli ittiologi e con l’avvento, a partire soprattutto dagli anni novanta, delle moderne indagini biomolecolari, e delle ipotesi biogeografiche sulla origini degli endemismi peri-mediterranei, molti aspetti tassonomici riguardanti le specie europee sono cambiati. Una sintesi di tutte queste novità è riportata nel recente manuale dei pesci d’acqua dolce europei di Kottelat & Freyhof (2007), dove vengono elencate circa 108 specie per l’Italia di cui 51 autoctone, 43 introdotte e 14 di origini marine o occasionali. Per quanto riguarda le autoctone, tra le 51 riportate circa 15 hanno subito cambiamento di specie, ovvero, riconosciute come endemismi italiani piuttosto che specie d’oltralpe. La precedente confusione, purtroppo ha portato in Italia molti esotici congenerici molto competitivi ai danni degli autoctoni. Alcune novità tassonomiche proposte sono da rivedere come la riabilitazione della specie Squalius albus del Trasimeno, praticamente fatta a tavolino, ignorando che la fauna di questo lago deriva dal Tevere (terra tipica di Squalius squalus, ovvero la specie di cavedano data per endemica in Italia). Molti generi sono cambiati come ad esempio Chondrostoma ora scomposto in 6 generi. La riabilitazione e la descrizione di altri generi e specie devono essere riviste.

It was originally described in the genus Pseudophoxinus as (Pseudophoxinus persidis) and then Petroleuciscus (as Petroleuciscus persidis). In this study, we examined phylogenetic relationships of the Iranian Persian chub with other relatives in the family Cyprinidae based on the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene to estimate the phylogenetic (and taxonomic) position of the species. Our molecular phylogenies show that new fish sequences from the drainages in southern Iran are clustered with sequences of the genus Acanthobrama from GenBank while the sequences from two other genera (Pseudophoxinus and Petroleuciscus) are in distinct clade. Therefore, we conclude that the populations of Persian Chub in drainages of southern Iran (i.e., Kol, Kor, Maharlu and Persis) belong to the genus Acanthobrama and species Acanthobrama persidis. The predicted geographic distributions for the species showed a large area of suitable climate for A. persidis across south and west of Iran especially in the Kor River basin. Some other parts in the Persis and Tigris are also might have been suitable habitats for this cyprinid species showing possible dispersal route of Acanthobrama from Tigris to the Persis, Kor and Kol basins.

We used an exploited farmland in northern Italy, where many exotics are Fish community present, as a test case for identifying restoration measures based on an ecosystem approach. In particular, we Ecosystem engineering species focused on red swap crayfish for its ecosystem engineering capabilities, and examined the factors affecting its Hydraulic management invasion success in order to attempt the definition of management strategies. We used multivariate and re- gression analysis to evaluate the relationships between the red swamp crayfish, water quality, macrophytes abundance, watercourse hydraulics and the fish community. All analyses indicated that red swamp crayfish was less likely to establish in large, deeper and fast flowing waterways, especially when these are deprived of ve- getation and less eutrophicated.

The study includes four populations of the alborella and 14 populations of the vulturino. A total of 57 haplotypes were identified; these could not be sorted into two reciprocally monophyletic clusters. Multiple phylogenetic methods and nested clade phylogeographical analysis consistently retrieved three well-supported clades, two of which contained both Northern and Southern Italian haplotypes. A third clade is limited to southern Italy. This clade is tentatively assigned to the vul- turino. The placement in the same clade of northern and southern Italian haplotypes is explained in light of the introductions of fishes operated from northern to central and southern Italy. The origin of the vulturino dates back to the last two million years.
