First Record of a Coregonid Fish Species, Coregenus Albula (Linnaeus, 1758) (Salmoniformes: Salmonidae) in Aktaş Lake Shared Between Turkey and Georgia
J. Black Sea/Mediterranean Environment Vol. 25, No. 3: 325-332 (2019) SHORT COMMUNICATION First record of a coregonid fish species, Coregenus albula (Linnaeus, 1758) (Salmoniformes: Salmonidae) in Aktaş Lake shared between Turkey and Georgia Sedat V. Yerli Department of Biology, Hacettepe University, SAL, Beytepe, Ankara, TURKEY Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The genus Coregenus (Salmoniformes: Salmonidae) was recently considered not to be represented in Turkey. European cisco or vendace, Coregonus albula (Linnaeus, 1758) was reported for the first time for Turkey in this article with fifteen samples in Aktaş Lake, Ardahan. This species should be added to the checklist of Turkish fish fauna. Turkish name is proposed as “Akbalık” for this species. Keywords: Coregonus albula, first record, Aktaş Lake, Kartsakhi, alkaline lake, Georgia, Turkey Received: 30.10.2019, Accepted: 26.11.2019 Vendace or European cisco Coregonus albula (Linnaeus, 1758) is a native species for northern Europe. Berg (1948) reported the distribution of this species its morphological measurements in the former USSR and adjacent countries. Froese and Pauly (2019) summarized the natural distribution of vendace as Baltic basin, several lakes of upper Volga drainage; some lakes of White Sea basin and North Sea basin east of Elbe drainage; anadromous in Gulf of Finland and marine in northernmost freshened part of Gulf of Bothnia between Finland and Sweden; in Lake Inari, northern Finland; lower Rhine (now extirpated). The vendace was introduced, intentionally in some countries in Europe and United States of America. Vendace was introduced in 1959, 1982-1987 in the Irtysh River Basin and in 1960-61 in Lake Balkhash in Kazakhstan (Mitrofanov and Petr 1999). -

The Canadian Arctic Expedition 1913 – 18 and Early Advances in Arctic Vertebrate Zoology Kamal Khidas1
ARCTIC VOL. 68, NO. 3 (SEPTEMBER 2015) P. 283 – 292 http://dx.doi.org/10.14430/arctic4505 The Canadian Arctic Expedition 1913 – 18 and Early Advances in Arctic Vertebrate Zoology Kamal Khidas1 (Received 4 April 2014; accepted in revised form 5 November 2014) ABSTRACT. A century ago, an international team of scientists sailed under the Canadian flag to the western Canadian Arctic, via the Bering Strait, to achieve the goals of the Canadian Arctic Expedition of 1913 – 18. This major expedition was a milestone in the history of Canada. The scientists explored a vast, unknown sea and land area that extended from the Alaskan northern coast to Bathurst Inlet in Canada, and from Meighen Island to approximately 160 – 200 km inland from the continental coasts. This area had never been explored by an expedition before, and many parts of it had never been visited (except, presumably, by Inuit and their ancestors). The expedition resulted in a remarkable harvest of terrestrial and marine plants and animals, and associated data. The scientists furthered geographic and scientific knowledge of the Arctic and published 74 reports in various scientific fields, yet none of these addressed vertebrate zoology. The present report attempts to make up for this deficiency. Overall, the CAE collected and preserved 2084 vertebrate specimens and inventoried 139 species, which together fairly depicted the Arctic vertebrate community. Almost all specimens are preserved at the Canadian Museum of Nature. They significantly supplemented the rather meagre vertebrate collections of the Museum of those times and have since prompted the continuing development of these collections.

Weiterhin versichere ich, die aus benutzten Quellen wörtlich oder inhaltlich entnommenen Stellen als solche kenntlich gemacht zu haben. Lara Ibrahim Aachen, am 18 März 2015 Zusammenfassung Die Zulassung von Pflanzenschutzmitteln in der Europäischen Gemeinschaft verlangt unter anderem eine Abschätzung des Risikos für Organismen in der Umwelt, die nicht Ziel der Anwendung sind. Unvertretbare Auswirkungen auf den Naturhalt sollen vermieden werden. Die ökologische Risikoanalyse stellt die dafür benötigten Informationen durch eine Abschätzung der Exposition der Organismen und der sich daraus ergebenden Effekte bereit. Die Effektabschätzung beruht dabei hauptsächlich auf standardisierten ökotoxikologischen Tests im Labor mit wenigen, oft nicht einheimischen Stellvertreterarten. In diesen Tests werden z. B. Effekte auf das Überleben, das Wachstum und/oder die Reproduktion von Fischen bei verschiedenen Konzentrationen der Testsubstanz gemessen und Endpunkte wie die LC50 (Lethal Concentrations for 50%) oder eine NOEC (No Observed Effect Concentration, z. B. für Wachstum oder Reproduktionsparameter) abgeleitet. Für Fische und Wirbeltiere im Allgemeinen beziehen sich die spezifischen Schutzziele auf das Überleben von Individuen und die Abundanz und Biomasse von Populationen. -

Spawning Distribution of Bering Ciscoes in the Yukon River
Transactions of the American Fisheries Society 144:292–299, 2015 American Fisheries Society 2015 ISSN: 0002-8487 print / 1548-8659 online DOI: 10.1080/00028487.2014.988881 ARTICLE Spawning Distribution of Bering Ciscoes in the Yukon River Randy J. Brown* and David W. Daum1 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 101 12th Avenue, Room 110, Fairbanks, Alaska 99701, USA Abstract Bering Ciscoes Coregonus laurettae are anadromous salmonids with known spawning populations only in the Yukon, Kuskokwim, and Susitna rivers in Alaska. A commercial fishery for the species was recently initiated at the mouth of the Yukon River, inspiring a series of research projects to enhance our understanding of the exploited population. This study was designed to delineate the geographic spawning distribution of Bering Ciscoes in the Yukon River. One hundred radio transmitters per year in 2012 and 2013 were deployed in prespawning Bering Ciscoes at a site located 1,176 km upstream from the sea. A total of 160 fish survived fish wheel capture and tagging, avoided harvest and predation after tagging, and continued migrating upstream to their spawning destinations. Approximately 79% migrated to spawn in the upper Yukon Flats, upstream from the mouth of the Porcupine River, and 21% migrated to spawn in the lower Yukon Flats. Locating the Bering Cisco spawning area, which is almost entirely encompassed by the Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge, enhances our ability to protect it from anthropogenic disturbance and enables future biological research on the spawning population. Conservation of migratory fish in large rivers requires an removing gravel from fish spawning habitats has been shown understanding of habitat use across a species’ range and the to reduce spawning success (Fudge and Bodaly 1984; Meng ability to manage anthropogenic impacts to essential habitats and Muller€ 1988), which could jeopardize the viability of such as migration routes and spawning areas (Gross 1987; affected populations. -

ICES C.H. 1986/G:58 Ref. Pelagic Fish Committee FISH COHHUNITIES OF THE NORWEGIAN OEEPS: SPEelES COHPOSITION ANO OISTRIBUTIONAl PATTERNS. by Odd Aksel Bergstad Department of fisheries biology. University of Bergen. Norway. \ P.O.Bo~ 1839. N-5011 Bergen-Nordnes / ABSTRACT Preliminary results from studies of the fishes inhabiting the Norwegian Oeeps and bordering slopes are presented. including accounts of species composition and distributional patterns. The Norwegian Oeeps proper is a nursery and feeding area for a number of species. mainly species which are abundant along the upper continental slopes of the North Atlantic and the deep fjord environments. The more abundant include the greater argentine. Argentina silus. blue whiting. Hicromesistius poutassou. and in the Skagerrak. roundnose grenadier. Coryphaenoides rupestris. Above the 200m isobath the species composition resembles the one found in adjacent coastal areas or on the North Sea plateau. The more abundant demersal species are Norway pout. Trisopterus esmarkii. saithe, Pollachius virens, and haddock, Helanogrammus aeglefinus. Data from hydroacoustic surveys and bottom trawl surveys suggest pronounced seasonal changes in distributional patterns of some species, notably the greater argentine and blue whiting. • INTRODUCTIOH The Norwegian Deeps, with depths in the range 275-700 m, represents a major topographical feature of the comparatively shallow and even North Sea (Fig.1). As such, it has a pronounced influence on watermass distributions and current patterns in the eastern Horth Sea, the Skagerrak and in the Norwegian Coastal waters (Furnes et al. 1986). From fishery data and a few regional studies it is known that the Horwegian Deeps is inhabited by a .fish fauna differing rather markedly from the one found in the bordering shallow waters (Hjort and Ruud 1938; Sahrhage 1964, Aker et Al.
