ABSTRACT Standardised terminology in science is important for clarity of interpretation and communication. In invasion – a dynamic rapidly evolving discipline the proliferation technical has lacked standardised framework its development. The result convoluted inconsistent usage terminology, with various discrepancies descriptions damage interventions. A therefore needed clear, universally applicable, consistent to promote more effective communication across researchers, stakeholders,...
Invasive alien species (IAS) are a significant and growing problem worldwide. In Europe, some aspects of IAS have been addressed through existing legal instruments, but these far from sufficient to tackle the comprehensively. The FINS II Conference considered relevance Top 20 issues (Top 10 threats opportunities) for Europe determined at 1st Freshwater Invasiveness – Networking Strategy (FINS I) conference held in Ireland 2013. Using similar format sequential group voting, FINS I (lack...
Abstract Fish introductions, particularly in areas of high biological diversity and endemism, represent a major threat for biodiversity. In the Balkan Peninsula, 60 fish species have been introduced to date, which 36 become naturalized inland waters. Since Balkans are one world's 35 biodiversity hot spots, this large presence alien poses serious stability freshwater ecosystems survival native ichthyofauna aquatic general. The motivation historical timeline, varies among states. Despite...
Abstract The Fish Invasiveness Screening Kit ( FISK ) version 2 was used to assess the invasiveness potential of 40 introduced and translocated freshwater fish species Croatia Slovenia. Based on a priori classification invasiveness, receiver operating characteristic analysis scores from two independent assessors resulted in statistically significant calibration threshold 11.75. This indicated that able discriminate reliably between non‐native likely pose high risk being invasive those medium...
Geometric morphometry is effective in distinguishing bivalve species and populations, including the economically environmentally important Mediterranean mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis. Although widely distributed, shell shape variation M. galloprovincialis along eastern Adriatic Sea has been infrequently studied. Farming practices environmental conditions may affect development of shape, as reported genus from numerous locations globally. Building on earlier genetic analyses mussels...
At the beginning of 20th century, middle section Sava River in Croatia was unaffected by major human activities and rich ichthyofauna. The important for commercial recreational fishing local population, which still remains today. However, 1920s mining industry established Slovenia, emitted carbon dust into River. same time, construction embankments to mitigate flooding started section. Furthermore, 1980s, Krško nuclear power plant (NPP), 2010s, hydropower (HPP) were built Slovenia. These...
Distributions, population densities, invasive potentials and adverse impacts of Ponto-Caspian gobies on native fauna in the Sava River basin remain unknown, whereby 23 locations were sampled during a three-year period (2011–2013). Among five goby species previously reported Croatia, only Neogobius fluviatilis (291), melanostomus (177) Ponticola kessleri (21) specimens collected. Proterorhinus semilunaris Babka gymnotrachelus not found. N. was dominant among at majority almost omnipresent...
In this study we have performed a comprehensive genotoxicological survey along the 900 rkm of Sava River. total, 12 sites were chosen in compliance with goals GLOBAQUA project dealing effects multiple stressors on biodiversity and functioning aquatic ecosystems. The genotoxic potential was assessed using complex battery bioassays prokaryotes eukaryotes (freshwater fish). Battery comprised evaluation mutagenicity by SOS/umuC test Salmonella typhimurium TA1535/pSK1002. level DNA damage as...
The number of New Zealand’s freshwater fish listed as threatened has increased since 1992 when the first Zealand threat classification system list was compiled. In this study, temporal and land cover-related trends were analysed for data on distribution, comprising more than 20000 records 47 years from January 1970 to 2017 Freshwater Fish Database. analysis included individual species abundance distribution trends, well an index community integrity, namely Index Biotic Integrity (IBI). Of 25...
Human-induced biological introductions pose a major threat to global biodiversity, and this is especially frequent in the eastern Mediterranean region, which globally important biodiversity hotspot area of high conservation value. To predict at level introduced species region might become invasive under current projected climate conditions, 232 non-native aquatic organisms were screened using Aquatic Species Invasiveness Screening Kit. Based on receiver operative characteristic curve...
Sampling was undertaken, with the same fishing gear and along Sava River, from its source to confluence, in September 2014 2015. In total, 44 fish species were identified, of which 37 native 7 alien. Fish samples revealed independence terms both composition their abundance under different hydrological conditions. During flooding high water levels 2014, pelagic sampled greater proportion than at lower 2015 when benthic more abundant. The flood wave accompanied by catch common carp, Cyprinus...
