Freshwaters provide vital services for humanity but increasing pressures, from a multitude of sources (e.g. climate change, invasive species, pollution, loss and fragmentation of habitat, overexploitation), threaten the future availability of those services, including basic commodities as the availability of drinking water. The XVIth AIL Congress will hopefully provide the opportunity to address those outstanding questions, and discuss the most up to date fundamental and applied knowledge on freshwater biology, ecology and environmental management. The beautiful historical city of Guimarães, where the Portuguese nation was established in the early XII century, has a unique medieval city centre classified as World Heritage by UNESCO. Additionally, Guimarães hosts many cultural events, as it is the European Capital of Culture in 2012. On the behalf of the organizing committee, we wish you a very fruitful and pleasant meeting.

The present study assessed fish passage performance of a potamodromous cyprinid, the Iberian barbel (Luciobarbus bocagei), in an experimental full-scale vertical slot fishway during spring (reproductive season) and early-autumn (non-reproductive season). Results revealed that no significant differences were detected on passage performance metrics, except for entry efficiency. However, differences between seasons were noted in the plasma lactate concentration (higher in early-autumn), used as a proxy for muscular fatigue after the fishway navigation. This suggests that, for potamodromous cyprinids, the evaluation of passage performance in fishways does not need to be restricted to the reproductive season and can be extended to early-autumn, when movements associated with shifts in home range may occur.

  • Comparison of the Myxobolus Fauna of Common Barbel from Hungary and Iberian Barbel from Portugal

In Hungary, we recorded 5 known Myxobolus species (M. branchialis, M. caudatus, M. musculi, M. squamae, and M. tauricus) and described M. branchilateralis sp. n. In Portugal we recorded 6 Myxobolus species (M. branchialis, M. branchilateralis sp. n., M. cutanei, M. musculi, M. pfeifferi, and M. tauricus). Species found in the 2 habitats had similar spore morphology and only slight differences were observed in spore shape or measurements. All species showed a spe- cific tissue tropism and had a definite site selection. M. branchialis was recorded from the lamellae of the gills, large plasmodia of M. branchilateralis sp. n. developed at both sides of hemibranchia, M. squamae infected the scales, plasmodia of M. caudatus infected the scales and the fins, and M. tauricus were found in the fins and pin bones. In the muscle, 3 species, M. musculi, M. pfeifferi and M. tauricus were found; however they were found in distinct locations.

Rapid increases in flow velocity result in fish avoiding unstable habitats and seeking refuge to reduce energy expenditure. To understand fish movements and the habitat use of native Iberian cyprinids in a high-gradient peaking river, 77 individuals were PIT tagged downstream of Bragado SHP in the North of Portugal. Tagged fish species included Pseudochondrostoma duriense and Squalius carolitertii. Fish positions were recorded manually on two different occasions: during hydropeaking events (HP) and without hydropeaking events (NHP). From the 77 tagged fish, we were able to record habitat use for 33 individuals (20 P. duriense and 13 S.

Executive Summary Aim Environmental assessment of hydropower facilities commonly includes means of fish assem- blage impact metrics, as e.g. injuries or mortality. However, this hardly allows for conclusion at the population or community level. To overcome this significant knowledge gap and to enable more efficient assessments, this task aimed in developing a fish species classification system according to their species-specific sensitivity against mortality. As one result, most sensitive fish species were identified as suitable candidates for in depth population effects and impact studies. Another objective was providing the biological and autecological baseline for developing a fish population hazard index for the European fish fauna. Methods The literature has been extensively reviewed and analysed for life history traits of fish providing resilience against and recovery from natural disturbances. The concept behind is that species used to cope with high natural mortality have evolved buffer mechanisms against, which might also foster recovery from human induced disturbances.

Origen y evolución L. bocagei pertenece a un grupo de especies relacionadas con especies del norte de África (Doadrio, 1990); estas afinidades parecen deberse al aislamiento de la Península Ibérica del resto de Europa desde el Oligoceno-Mioceno (Machordom et al., 1995). El aislamiento y evolución de las especies del género Luciobarbus habría tenido lugar durante la formación en el Plioceno-Pleistoceno de las cuencas hidrográficas actuales (Doadrio et al., 2002). L. bocagei y L. comizo se habrían diferenciado del resto de especies ibéricas del género en el Messiniense-Plioceno Inferior, hace unos 3,7-6,9 millones de años (Mesquita et al., 2007). Identificación Se diferencia de otros Luciobarbus por tener el último radio de la aleta dorsal con denticulaciones, que en los adultos ocupan menos de la mitad inferior; aleta dorsal de perfil recto o algo cóncavo; pedúnculo caudal estrecho (Doadrio et al., 2011).

Hybridization may drive speciation and erode species, especially when intrageneric sympatric species are involved. Five sympatric Luciobarbus species—Luciobarbus sclateri (Günther, 1868), Luciobarbus comizo (Steindachner, 1864), Luciobarbus microcephalus (Almaça, 1967), Luciobarbus guiraonis (Steindachner, 1866), and Luciobarbus steindachneri (Almaça, 1967)—are commonly identified in field surveys by diagnostic morphological characters. Assuming that i) in loco identification is subjective and observer-dependent, ii) there is previous evidence of interspecific hybridization, and iii) the technical reports usually do not include molecular analyses, our main goal was to assess the concordance between in loco species identification based on phenotypic characters with identifications based on morphometric indices, mtDNA only, and a combination of mito-nuclear markers.

The aim of this study is to provide new records of P. marinus feeding on host species and to review the available information in this regard to better know the ecology and distribution of sea lamprey during this stage. Thus, new records of P. marinus individuals or wounds on 23 species of fishes and cetaceans are provided. Nineteen of these species were described for the first time as hosts of P. marinus. As a result, an updated list of 54 host species is provided.
