Purpose. To study ichthyocenoses, species composition and the current state of fish populations in water bodies of the Western Polissya of Ukraine by focusing on their changes under the effect of invasive fish species. Methodology. Ichthyological studies were carried out in natural and artificial water bodies for various purposes in the Western Polissya of Ukraine during 2007-2017. In particular, fish surveys were carried out using beach seins and gill nets with different mesh sizes in the karst lakes Svityaz and Pischane from the Shatskiy National Nature Park, channel lakes Lyubyaz and Nobel from the Pripyat River basin, right-bank tributaries of the Pripyat Rivers including Styr and Goryn Rivers, Khrinnitske reservoir from the Styr River basin, fish ponds of Bochanitsa village and Progress LLC (Goryn River basin). The material for the study were both the populations of native and invasive fish species. Findings. The results of our own studies and data of other authors highlighted the issue of the spread of invasive fish species in water bodies of the river-lake network of Western Polissya of Ukraine, presented the diagrams of the distribution of these fish in different water bodies of different origins of the above-mentioned region. Originality. The greatest threat to the abundance of aboriginal fish species in this region was found to be self-reproducing populations of the brown bullhead (Ictalurus nebulosus), Amur sleeper (Percсottus glenіi), stone moroko or topmouth gudgeon (Pseudorasbora parva), three-spined (Gasterosteus aculeatus) and nine-spined (Punguitius punguitius) sticklebacks. In particular, the composition of their gut content during the spawning period included 95% of eggs of fish species, which spawned in spring, as shown in the diagrams presented in this paper. Practical Value. The proposed measures to be carried out at the national and regional levels will help prevent the ingress of new invasions and mitigate the impact of the existing ones on the ichthyocenoses of the reservoirs of Western Polissya of Ukraine. Key words: ichthyocenoses, invasive fish species, aboriginal ichthyofauna, Western Polissya.

Based on the results of comprehensive fisheries research, a brief description of the ecosystem of the lake of the Shaturskaya group operated in the mode of the cooling reservoir of the Shaturskaya GRES is given. The features of the thermal regime of the Shatursky lakes in the zone of the circulating flow of cooled waters are considered. A brief description of the species composition and quantitative indicators of the development of phytoplankton, zooplankton and macrozoobenthos communities is given. The structure of fish catches in the lakes depending on the fishing gear used is considered according to the data of accounting surveys with set nets and fry drag. The process of formation of the ichthyofauna of Shatursky lakes, characteristic of natural and man-made ecosystems of reservoirs-coolers of energy facilities, is shown. The occurrence of native and invasive fish species in catches is described, and the mechanism of seasonal migration of fish depending on the temperature and oxygen regimes of the Shatursky lakes is considered.

All classes of extant vertebrates have lithophagic species. The debate about why animals eat stones has quietly raged for over a century. Except for a documented physiological need in a few Recent bird and fish species, few can agree why they are ingested, but they have figured in scientific literature since the 1600s. Gastroliths have been used as stratigraphic indicators for geologists. They have been used as clues to biomechanics and feeding behavior for biologists. The presence of gastroliths in primitive archosauromorphs dates to the Jurassic mesosuchia and can be traced to Recent euschia. Gastroliths found in sauropodomorphs and ornithischians have been alleged to indicate higher levels of metabolic processes. Two large groups of sauropterygians, the younginoids and the plesiosaurs are rarely found without a clutch of stones with their skeletons. Gastroliths have been discovered in Permian and Triassic amphibians, Miocene and Recent pinnipeds, and many Recent reptiles. The presence of gastroliths in a fossil specimen is an important indicator of ontogenetic and phylogenetic characteristics that should be considered in tandem with the associated osteological material.

Arunachal Pradesh being rich in fishery resources biophysically, the status of the fish diversity is not known from all the water bodies. A case study was undertaken in the river Siyom (28°11′25′′-28°10′52′′N and 94°45′17′′-97°47′51′′E) of West Siang district, Arunachal Pradesh from 2002 to 2004 with the fragmentary work till 2007. For the purpose, sampling of fish was done from the river time to time using local contraption along with modern nets. A total of 44 species of fishes belongs to 9 families were identified. Fishes of family Cyprinidae were found to be dominant followed by Balitoridae. Some of the fish species were found very rare in the river, which may be due to various anthropogenic factors. Therefore, in addition to social restriction on community fishing some awareness measures need to be taken to prevent the destructive fishing activities in the river.DOI: 10.3126/on.v8i1.4324

The present paper attempts to report a total of 118 fish species spread over 11 orders, 26 families and 64 genera inhabited indifferent water bodies viz, rivers, reservoirs, streams, ponds, lakes, canals, ditches, paddy fields of Morang district, collected during a one-year survey. The order Cypriniformes is the richest one among 11 orders that comprises 59 species followed by Siluriformes having 31 and Perciformes with 19 representatives, respectively. Orders Anguilliformes, Osteoglossiformes, Beloniformes, Cyprinodontiformes, Synbranchiformes and Tetraodontiformes have only one representative. Olyra longicaudata is the new report from Morang district and the second report from Nepal. Besides this, other hill-stream fishes viz., Pseudecheneis sulcatus, Schizothorax plagiostomus, Schistura savona and Neolissochilus hexagonolepis recorded during the survey, also have not been previously reported from this district.
