Habitat, benthic macroinvertebrates and pumpkinseed were quantified in Bullaque (regulated flow, affected by agricultural activities) and Estena (natural conditions) rivers, from May to September of 2005 and 2006. Significant differences were found in the limnological characteristics between the two rivers. Spatial and temporal Key words: invasive species; feeding tactics; prey variations in diet composition were likely related to opportunistic feeding selection; freshwater fishes and high foraging plasticity.

Lost River and shortnose suckers are federally listed endangered species (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1988). The four Klamath Basin suckers are similar in overall body shape, but highly variable, and are distinguished by feeding-related structures, adult habitat and geography. The two Catostomus species have large lips, widely-spaced gillrakers, and are primarily river dwellers with C. snyderi mostly found in the upper basin and C. rimiculus in the lower basin and adjacent Rogue River. Deltistes luxatus has smaller lips, short "deltoid" Catostomus-like gillrakers, and is primariliy a lake dweller.

  • Biological and Biomechanical Principles of the Controlling
    Available online at www.worldscientificnews.com WSN 99 (2018) 71-83 EISSN 2392-2192 Biological and biomechanical principles of the controlling molluscs Melanoides tuberculata (Müller 1774) and Tarebia granifera (Lamarck, 1822) in reservoirs of strategic importance Marenkov Oleh*, Batalov Kyrylo, Kriachek Olena Department of General Biology and Water Bioresources, Oles Honchar Dnipro National University, P.M.B. 49050, Dnipro, Ukraine *E-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT The article presents the results of complex laboratory investigations on the biological and biomechanical ways of control of Melanoides tuberculata (Müller 1774) and Tarebia granifera (Lamarck, 1822) molluscs in simulated conditions close to the conditions of the cooling pond of the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant. It was determined that molluscs have naturalized in the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant cooling pond, quickly increased their number and created a threat to hydraulic structures. Taking into account biological features of Thiaridae mollusks and technical and ecological features of Zaporizhia NPP, we carried out a series of experiments using biological control measures (the use of predatory species of hydrobionts) and mechanical means for controlling mollusks. Representatives of different taxons of the Animalia Kingdom were selected as predatory species of hydrobionts, which potentially can consume gastropods: Mollusca, Crustaceans and Fish. It has been found experimentally that the use of marbled crayfish Procambarus virginalis (Lyko, 2017), pumpkinseed Lepomis gibbosus (Linnaeus, 1758) and Botia lohachata Chaudhuri, 1912 has not given positive results in the development of measures to control the number of molluscs. Positive results were obtained in a series of experiments with predatory mollusc assassin snail Clea helena (von dem Busch, 1847), but it was noted that in the presence of more accessible feeds, assassin snail Clea helena (von dem Busch, 1847) consumes smaller quantities of Thiaridae mollusks.

  • Evaluation of Three Types of Artificial Habitats for Fishes in a Freshwater Pond in Maine, Usa
    BULLETIN Or MARINE SCIENCE. 55(2-3): 1149-1159. 1994 EVALUATION OF THREE TYPES OF ARTIFICIAL HABITATS FOR FISHES IN A FRESHWATER POND IN MAINE, USA John R. Moring and Peter H. Nicholson ABSTRACT Three types of artificial structures (brush bundles, cinder blocks, tire bundles) were studied along transects in Lac D'or, a boreal, freshwater pond in central Maine. Observations were made of 1,397 adult and juvenile fishes by means of 18 dives during the day and 6 dives during the night in 1990. Cover attracted the five species of fishes in the pond (pumpkinseed, Lepomis gibbosus; chain pickerel, Esox niger; brown bullhead, Ameiurus nebu/osus; common shiner, Luxi/us comutus; and golden shiner, Notemigonus crysoleucas). Numbers of fishes were significantly higher in areas with artificial cover (70% of fishes, average counts pcr transcct), or in areas with natural weed beds (29%) than in areas without cover «1%). Pumpkinseeds were distributed about equally in areas with tire bundles (38%), cinder blocks (34%), and brush bundles (28%), whereas golden and common shiners were attracted pri- marily to brush bundles (62%). Numbers of fishes associated with artificial habitat werc significantly higher at night. Common and golden shiners occupied locations on the periphery of structures, whereas pumpkinseeds frequently inhabited recesses of cinder blocks and brush bundles. Associations with artificial habitat decreascd rapidly in Octobcr when water tcm- perature declined to below 12°C, By early November, as water temperatures decreased to 7°C, fishes moved to the bottom, away from cover, and markedly reduced their movements. Artificial habitats were re-examined in June 1991 following winter ice cover.
