Abstract Although numerous pumping stations (PS) have been used by water managers for applications on rivers, canals and other bodies, their impact fish populations is poorly understood. This study investigates European eel, Anguilla anguilla (L.), mortality after natural downstream passage through a propeller pump two Archimedes screw pumps at PSs lowland in Belgium. Fyke nets were mounted permanently the outflow of during silver eel migration periods. Based condition injuries, maximum...
Abstract The large‐scale movement behavior of European catfish ( Silurus glanis L.) remains poorly understood, despite it being a species interest for conservation management. We report the patterns 13 native individual catfish, recorded using acoustic telemetry over 160‐km estuarine habitat free migration barriers in Scheldt River basin (Belgium). results show that can travel vast distances 10 km with seasonal pattern fish moving largest summer. wels is often considered relatively sedentary...

Red Lists are used to assess the extinction risk of species. Regional IUCN criteria were applied categorise 42 indigenous freshwater fish species in Flanders into List categories. As such, three assessed as Regionally Extinct, eight Critically Endangered, two Endangered and Vulnerable. A further five considered Near Threatened, 15 Least Concern one is Data Deficient. Five disappeared from Extinct category compared with previous (1988) a consequence improved water quality estuaries...
ABSTRACT For many years, navigable lowland rivers have been embanked artificially or suffered from substantial shipping wave action, leading to habitat degradation. Recently, riparian habitats were restored by creating foreshores and spawning grounds in the river Yser, a Flanders, Belgium. The aim of this paper was evaluate role these for nursery juvenile fish. To cover wide range anthropogenic disruption, four mesohabitat types selected compared, ranging semi‐natural over artificial...

In Belgium, a voluntary code of conduct intended to prevent introduction invasive plants through the horticultural trade has been implemented since 2009. European Regulation 1143/2014 that imposes legal bans on number plant taxa entered into force in 2015. However, studies regarding presence Belgian remained scarce. 2016–2017 and 2020, we surveyed total 11 garden centres specialized water gardening compiled list 285 aquatic were being traded. four Consensus List species one Communication...
In this paper we report the first Belgian records of invasive Chinese mystery snail Bellamya chinensis. A walkover-survey along Laak, a small lowland river, yielded total 20 live B. The presence both juvenile and adult individuals, with shell height ranging from 16.6 to 47.5 mm, indicates that species is firmly established. most probable source introduction nearby garden center specializes in ornamental fish plants for ponds.

On 27 April 2016, a dead narwhal (Monodon monoceros) was found on the bank of River Scheldt, Belgium.It first record this high Arctic cetacean in Belgium, and one most southerly records ever Europe.Due to decomposition carcass, results autopsy remained inconclusive, but it is likely that animal had died due long process starvation.In stomach, large number litter items were which probably ingested during dying.We further provide information sighting live prior stranding present an overview...
We present the first Belgian records of potentially invasive alien crayfish Procambarus acutus species complex, including confirmed record P. acutus.The complex was observed at four different sites in three provinces north country.Only one site presence a form I male specimen made identification to level possible, based on gonopod morphology.The other observations are considered as belonging complex.Procambarus is fifth known Belgium.In Europe, it previously only an established from...
