Anostomidae is one of the most diverse families within the order Characiformes and is widely distributed across the river basins of the Neotropical region. Anostomids are known to host a rich diversity of metazoan parasites, including ectoparasites,...
Freshwater ecosystems play an important role in human survival, ecosystem functioning, and biodiversity conservation, yet industrialisation and urbanisation dump over 80% of untreated sewage into them. This inadequate wastewater management leads to e...
Raphidiopsis raciborskii (formerly Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii) is a bloom-forming cyanobacterium that employs the production of toxins and other secondary metabolites as a competitive and allelopathic strategy. This study evaluated the effects of...
Pollution from solid waste results mainly from improper disposal and inadequate waste management, causing environmental degradation and risks to human health. This study characterized solid waste pollution along the left bank of the Amazon River with...
Urban river degradation demands remediation strategies that are both environmentally sustainable and technically feasible. This study evaluated the performance of Floating Treatment Wetlands (FTWs) vegetated with Chrysopogon zizanioides (vetiver) and...
Floods are natural disasters that cause significant socioeconomic and environmental losses in both urban and rural areas. Within the framework of spatial planning, precautionary measures against flood hazards can be developed using analytical approac...
The designation of 2026 as the World Economic Forum’s Year of Water underscores the growing recognition of freshwater systems as critical to climate resilience, biodiversity conservation, and socio-economic stability. Coinciding with this globa...
Determining hematological values is essential to provide baseline health and condition data. We evaluated the hematological parameters of free-living individuals of Caiman crocodilus and Melanosuchus niger from the middle Negro River region of Brazil...
Melanoides tuberculata is one of the world’s main invasive snail species; therefore, mapping its occurrence is essential for predicting its dispersion patterns and proposing control measures. This study aimed to map the occurrence of M. tubercu...
Three ageing reservoirs in Ekiti State, Nigeria (Ureje constructed in 1958, Egbe in 1982, and Ero in 1989), were comparatively assessed to evaluate fish assemblages and their conservation relevance. Despite the absence of formal fisheries governance,...
The ecological status of lakes based on ichthyofauna, as defined by the Water Framework Directive, is assessed using intercalibrated methods. However, the methods adopted (in Poland, the Lake Fish Index LFI-EN method, based on results of one-off fish...
