Abstract:
... The parasite fauna of alien fish species living in the new habitats has rarely been investigated and there is still poor information about this topic. This research not only provides a thorough list of parasite taxa found in non-indigenous fish species in Turkey, but it highlights the risk of infection for both native and alien ichthyofauna. With respect of native range, exotic fishes imported int ...

Disease and parasites are often unintended hitchhikers during translocations. Conservation managers have begun considering the health, disease risk and parasite loads of their species post‐translocation, but not often during the translocation itself. When parasites and ...

Abstract:

We have hypothesized that the abundance of foods derived from fish farming activities alters the interspecific relationships of wild fish. To test this, we evaluated the diet composition, trophic niche breadth, and trop ...
