Abstract:
... A full sequence of TaHSP70 (heat shock protein 70 of Tanichthys albonubes) was amplified which was 2398bp, including an open reading frame (ORF) of 1392bp encoding a polypeptide of 643 amino acids with all three HSP70 family signatures and cytosolic motif of EEVD. Genomic DNA structure analysis revealed that the TaHSP70 gene contained one intron in 5′UTR. BLAST analysis revealed that the TaHSP70 g ...

Abstract:
... Stock-density indices are standardized methods for analyzing length-frequency data that quantify the length structure of a fish population into length categories that are of interest to recreational anglers. We adapted North American relative stock density (RSD) and proportional stock density (PSD) indices to four Italian endemic or native cyprinid species by means of two methods. In accordance wi ...

In this study, we have cloned the full-length cDNA sequence for AgRP in a cyprinid fish (Schizothorax prenanti). The AgRP gene, encoding 126-amino acids, was strongly expressed in the brain. The AgRP gene was detected in embryos at developmental stages. Further, its mRNA was d ...

Abstract:
... Neosalanx taihuensis is an important zooplanktivorous commercial fish that has been widely introduced into Chinese freshwaters. Introduction of this species has induced decline and even extinction of native fish species in some waters. In this study, impacts of N. taihuensis introduction on growth and reproductive characteristics of an indigenous zooplanktivorous fish Hemiculter leucisculus were i ...

Abstract:
... Until 1960s, vimba was found abundantly in Polish rivers and was an important species for the fishing industry. Overfishing, water pollution and dam constructions brought most of the vimba populations close to extinction. We analyzed the genetic variability of several remnant vimba populations in the Vistula and Oder river basins. The 305-bp fragment encompassing the 5′-end of the mtDNA control re ...

Abstract:
... Mediterranean climates with their pattern of seasonal rainfall and predictable annual flooding produce a wide variety of seasonally inundated aquatic habitats. Many studies have shown the benefits of these temporary habitats, such as floodplains, for the early life stages of fishes but little work has examined the use of seasonal streams or the differences in the abundance and distribution of nati ...

This study tested the hypothesis that growth increments in larval largemouth yellowfish Labeobarbus kimberleyensis and smallmouth yellowfish L. aeneus from the Orange–Vaal river system, South Africa, are deposited daily. The periodicity of increment formation was determined by regular sampling and counting of increments deposited in the otoliths collected from a total of 52 smallmouth and 41 large ...

However, in spite of such efforts, effective measures to conserve the river ecosystem or post-evaluation of restoration projects remain insufficient due to a lack of environmental indicators. In many European countries and the United States, a number of biological indicators have been develo ...

Abstract:
... Many water bodies throughout North America have experienced shoreline development such as armoring with bulkheads or riprap to reduce erosion and protect property. Although research has addressed the influence of such development in systems containing vegetation, systems that experience water-level fluctuations, and thus have limited vegetation, have received little attention. Here we quantify the ...
