Abstract:
... Changes to the natural character of European streams as a result of human activities was followed by the dramatic decrease of nase (Chondrostoma nasus, Cyprinidae) populations. Techniques of induced spawning would help culturists to increase hatchery production and supplement insufficient natural reproduction. Spawning experiments showed that the mean ovulation index (weight of stripped egg mass x ...

Abstract:
... The experiment was conducted to optimize a procedure of gynogenesis induction in Puntius sarana by suppressing meiotic cell division in fertilized eggs. Gynogenesis was induced by fertilizing normal eggs with genetically inactivated sperm followed by heat shocking. The sperm were inactivated by exposing them to a UV dose of 250 mu W cm- 2 for 2 min at a concentration of 1 x 10(8) sperm/ml. Seven d ...

Abstract:
... Recent studies have detected estrogenic compounds in surface waters in North America and Europe. Furthermore, the presence of estrogenic compounds in surface waters has been attributed, in some cases, to the discharge of wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent. The primary objective of the current study was to determine if WWTP effluent contributes estrogens to the surface waters of Nebraska. A ...

Abstract:
... Mating systems evolve with sexual size dimorphism (SSD) in many animals. Mating systems with males larger than females occur when males compete for female access or guard territories, while mating systems with group mating tend to occur in species where females are the same size or larger than males. In addition to variation in SSD with mating system, sperm competition varies among mating systems ...
