In particolare, P. Magrini e A. De Giovanni per la determinazione di alcune specie, A. Loni per l’analisi statistica, P. Giannotti per le foto, S. D’Amato per l’impostazione della veste grafica, M. Mazzoncini e M. Ginanni per l’ospitalità all’interno del CIRAA “E. Avanzi” e per la pubblicazione del lavoro. PREFAZIONE Questo contributo costituisce una parte di un dottorato di ricerca realizzato all’interno del C.I.R.A.A. “E. Avanzi”. Il tema trattato non è di per sé nuovo, dato che ampissima è la letteratura scientifica che descrive l’utilizzo dei Carabidi come bioindicatori, ma originale è l’inserimento di questa valutazione all’interno di una prova molto più ampia di confronto tra metodi di coltivazione diversi, biologico e tradizionale (MASCOT). In questa sperimentazione, per svariati anni, sono stati seguiti protocolli di coltivazione controllati e, fatto interessante, i terreni a confronto sono contigui, in modo da minimizzare l’influenza di ubicazioni diverse, come spesso avviene in analoghi lavori. -
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.

Length-Weight Relationship of Ohrid Trout, Salmo Letnica (Karaman, 1924), Inhabiting Transboundary Ohrid Lake (Albania-Macedonia)
ISSN(Online): 2319-8753 ISSN (Print): 2347-6710 International Journal of Innovative Research in Science, Engineering and Technology (An ISO 3297: 2007 Certified Organization) Vol. 4, Issue 6, June 2015 Length-Weight Relationship of Ohrid Trout, Salmo letnica (Karaman, 1924), Inhabiting Transboundary Ohrid Lake (Albania-Macedonia) Viola Prifti1 PhD Student, Department of Biochemistry – Agriculture, Faculty of Agriculture, University “F. Noli”, Korҫa, Albania1 ABSTRACT: Length-weight and total length- standard length, relationships were derived for Ohrid trout, Salmo letnica (Karaman), inhabiting the ancient Ohrid Lake, at the transboundary area shared between Albania and Macedonia. Sampling was done between January–December of 2014 using different approaches including fishing gears and direct sampling at the hatcheries in two localities, Lin and Zagorҫan. The relationships between lengths were all significantly linear (r2 from 0.975 to 0.855) and there are significant differences of r2 at the localities Zagorҫan to Hudënisht. The Ohrid trout through different authors has been considered like polymorph species regarding the taxonomical and ecological features: Salmo letnica typicus, Salmo letnica balcanicus, Salmo letnica lumi and Salmo letnica aestivalis. According many authors four forms of Ohrid trout can be distinguished with different place, time and substrate for spawning. This species, in the conditions that are present in the lake, reaches weight of 1 kg in the seventh year of its life with an average total body length of 420-460 mm, while the maturity among males occurs in the 4th year and 5th for the females. Further to that the length-weight approach was developed to see different patterns in different supposed localities. -
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. -

Anthropogenic Influence and Conservation Status of Autochthonous Fish Fauna from Lake Ohrid
Anthropogenic Influence and Conservation Status of Autochthonous Fish Fauna from Lake Ohrid Trajce Talevski, Hydrobiological Institute, Naum Ohridski, 50, 6000 Ohrid, R.Macedonia, email: [email protected] Dragana Milosevic, Department of biology, Faculty of Science and Mathematics, University of Montenegro, Podgorica. Montenegro email: [email protected] Aleksandra Talevska, Faculty of Science and Mathematics, Institute for biology, University St. Kiril and Metodij, Skopje, R.Macedonia email: [email protected] Abstract Lake Ohrid is transboundary lake between R.Macedonia and R.Albania. It is the deepest lake of the Balkan, with a maximum depth of 297 and a mean depth of 155 m. Lake Ohrid is special as such, by far the most spectacular quality is its impressive endemism from cyprinid and salmonid fish. This paper is result of long-term researches of ichthyofauna from Lake Ohrid. The materials for researches were collected by day and nighttime’s experimental fishing with various fishing gill net. Conservation status of autochthonous fish fauna from Lake Ohrid was determinate according to IUCN (2001) and Kotellat and Freyhof (2007). Key words: anthropogenic influence, autochthonous fish fauna, conservation status, Lake Ohrid Intoduction IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (also known as the IUCN Red List or Red Data List), founded in 1948, is the world's most comprehensive inventory of the global conservation status of plant and animal species. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) is the world's main authority on the conservation status of species. The IUCN Red List is set upon precise criteria to evaluate the extinction risk of thousands of species and subspecies. -
