Effects of contrasting omnivorous fish on submerged macrophyte biomass in temperate lakes: a mesocosm experiment [PDF]
1.Freshwater fish can affect aquatic vegetation directly by consuming macrophytes or indirectly by changing water quality. However, most fish in the temperate climate zone have an omnivorous diet.

Freshwater ecosystems are confronted with the effects of climate change. One of the major changes is an increased concentration of aquatic carbon. Macrophytes are important in the aquatic carbon cycle and play as primary producers a crucial role in ...

Abstract Introduction Over 44% of European lakes fail to meet ecological quality standards, prompting substantial investment in lake restoration to achieve good ecological status. Unfortunately, effects are often short‐lived due to persistent internal phosphorus (P) loading and strong cyprinid‐driven bottom‐up control, which limits water quality ...

Invader-dominated systems of exotic species frequently damage native communities, mainly because there is a shift in the competition-facilitation balance, and competition intensifies in communities structured by facilitation.

The cost of aquafeed continues to constrain aquaculture production amidst the availability of locally available ingredients for feed formulation and technological opportunities. Information dissemination and innovative rethinking on the utilization of local opportunities and youthful labor may spur the growth of the sector, thus improving fish protein.

Can sacrificial feeding areas protect aquatic plants from herbivore grazing? Using behavioural ecology to inform wildlife management [PDF]
Effective wildlife management is needed for conservation, economic and human well-being objectives. However, traditional population control methods are frequently ineffective, unpopular with stakeholders, may affect non-target species, and can be both ...

Macrophyte dynamics in rivers are expressed through spatiotemporal gradients that reflect the functioning of freshwater ecosystems. In Mediterranean rivers, characterized by irregular low-flow periods and sudden floods, these gradients strongly influence

Downstream Effects of a Hydroelectric Reservoir on Aquatic Plant Assemblages
Macrophytes were studied downstream of the Rophémel hydroelectric dam on the River Rance (Côtes d’Armor Department, western France) to assess the effects of hydroelectric functioning on river macrophyte communities. We studied ten representative sections

Freshwater Biodiversity Research in Brazil: Trends from a Systematic Review and Topic Modeling
ABSTRACT Brazil is a megadiverse country that hosts six major biomes and a vast freshwater network. Despite this richness, research on freshwater biodiversity has been heterogeneous across regions, communities, and time, leaving significant knowledge gaps.

Long-term variations in fish assemblage, macrophyte community, and water quality in Lake Rotoroa (Hamilton Lake) [PDF]
Lake Rotoroa (37º48’S, 175º16’E) is a small, shallow, polymictic lake located on the western side of Hamilton City. The lake covers an area of 0.54 km2 with a mean depth of 2.4 m, catchment and riparian margins have been significantly modified into a ...
