The stone loach (Barbatula barbatula) occurs in three main areas in Sweden. In the north, it is found in Lapland in the River Torneälven. In the south, it is found in Skåne. There are also two populations near the cities of Stockholm and Nyköping. New data suggest that these two populations originate from fish that were kept in ponds. In the 1740s King Frederick I is said to have released stone loaches from German sources in Lake Mälaren, but this cannot explain its occurrence in Igelbäcken near Stockholm. There is also reason to believe that it was kept in ponds at the royal castle Ulriksdal in the mid-eighteenth century. The fish was possibly imported from the king's native Germany, to be eaten as a delicacy. However, historical records tell of pond-keeping of stone loach by the Royal court in the Stockholm area during the 1680s.

AbstractThe seasonal cycle of the cestode Proteocephalus sagittus (Cestoda: Proteocephalidae) was studied for the first time in the stone loach Barbatula barbatula from the Haná River, Czech Republic. A total of 180 loaches were examined monthly from January to December 2001. The parasite occurred in loaches throughout the year but infection parameters differed significantly among seasons, with the highest values of prevalence and abundance from the late winter to the early summer. Parasite recruitment took place in the winter and early spring and the worms sexually matured in the late spring and early summer. In contrast to P. torulosus, the gravid worms of which laid eggs only at the end of the spring/beginning of the summer, gravid worms of P. sagittus were also found, although in low numbers, in the autumn and early winter. The rate of infection of loach with P. sagittus was neither dependent on the sex nor on the size of its fish host.

Each period of childhood is characterized by its own peculiarities of growth and development, the degree of morphological and functional maturity of individual organs and systems, the specifics of physiological and metabolic processes. Rational feeding and nutrition play a significant role in a child’s health. The authors presented modern approaches to the complementary food for children, its timing, taking into account the child’s readiness to receive new food, the composition of the dish, feeding technique, the formation of proper eating habits and behavior. The literature actively discusses the problem of the formation of taste preferences at early age; thisisthe period for the first acquaintance with varioustastes. The article demonstratesthe advantages of using products of industrial production. It is particularly important to overcome the negative attitude to new products – it determinesthe attention of the specialists to the problem of the introduction of complementary foods.Conflict of interest: The authors of this article confirmed the lack of conflict of interest and financial support, which should be reported.
