Subject:
Barbus barbus; Bayesian theory; age structure; dynamic models; fish; habitats; juveniles; population dynamics; riparian areas; rivers; uncertainty
Abstract:
... Restoration of spawning and juvenile habitats is often used to restore fish abundances in rivers, although often with unclear results. To study the effects of habitat limitations on the common barbel (Barbus barbus), a riverine litophilic cyprinid fish, an age-structured population model was developed. Using a Bayesian modeling approach, spawning and fry (0+ juvenile) habitat availability was inte ...

Abstract:
... Fertilization is one of the most important procedures in artificial reproduction and it directly affects the reproduction outcome. When there is optimization of fertilization, there can be a positive effect on subsequent reproductive processes and economic aspects of aquaculture. This study was conducted to determine time for which oocytes and sperm of barbel Barbus barbus retain fertilization cap ...

Abstract:
... During their life cycle, fish carry out distinct movements within rivers and migrate upstream and downstream to reproduce, to feed, and to shelter in refuge habitats. During downstream movements, they can incur severe injuries that may be lethal directly or indirectly over time when passing through hydropower plants or when being entrained at other water intakes. Horizontal bar rack bypass systems ...

Whilst the underlying genetic mechanisms are increasingly understood, the ecological consequences of introgression are relatively less studied, despite their utility for increasing knowledge on how invasion impacts can manifest. Here, the eco ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Recently, human intervention enabled the introduction of Barbus barbus from the Rhône River basin into the Barbus meridionalis habitats of the Argens River. After an introduction event, parasite loss and lower infection can be expected in non-native hosts in contrast to native species. Still, native species might be endangered by hybridization with the incomer and the introduction of n ...

However, taxonomy and phylogeny of these species remain unclear. In this study, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome of Schizopygopsis malacanthus. We also used the newly obtained sequence, together with 31 publish ...

Abstract:
... The crossing of freshwater ecosystem boundaries by marine‐derived nutrients (MDN) is usually associated with migratory salmonid fishes returning to natal rivers. An alternative source of MDN in fresh waters is the widespread use of pelletised marine fishmeal (“pellets”) by freshwater anglers as they target large‐bodied cyprinid fishes, such as European barbel Barbus barbus. Here, the trophic conse ...

... BACKGROUND: Stable isotope analysis of carbon and nitrogen can deliver insights into trophic interactions between organisms. While many studies on free-living organisms are available, the number of those focusing on trophic interactions between hosts and their associated parasites still remains scarce. In some cases information about taxa (e.g. acanthocephalans) is completely missing. Additionally ...

However, similar to free-living bioindicators, a seasonal variation in metal concentrations in parasites might occur. Accordingly, the influence of seasonality has to be elucidated if parasites should be applied as sentinels ...
