The European perch L. serves as a host of different endohelminths of Trematoda, Cestoda, Nematoda, and Acanthocephala. Its natural range covers freshwater basins throughout much of Europe, including the Danube. Since information about endohelminths of European perch from this international river basin has been rather sporadic, the parasitological examinations of 700 perch from the central region of the Danube river basin in Slovakia were performed in October 2017 and April 2018. The larval stages of (Cestoda) were found in cysts located in the perch liver and adults of (Cestoda) were isolated from the intestine. The larval stages of sp. (Nematoda) and metacercariae of (Trematoda), both potential causative agents of fish-borne zoonoses, were found in the musculature. Spatial and seasonal differences in the occurrence of currently detected helminths were discussed with data on biological and environmental conditions of particular sampling site.

This study was performed to evaluate the occurrence of perfluorinated substances (PFAS) in European perch (Perca fluviatilis) samples from Latvian freshwater bodies. Twenty-nine samples of perch tissue homogenates were analyzed on the content of PFAS representing different sampling sites to cover all territory of Latvia evenly. The total PFAS concentrations (∑) ranged from 0.

Aquaculture in rural areas, carried out in accordance with current EU requirements, aims to contribute significantly to the conservation of the biodiversity of aquatic resources, the protection of which is a prerequisite for sustainable economic and social development. The objective of this study was to present the conceptual and technical framework and to analyze the costs and profitability of producing the consumer-attractive Eurasian perch ( L.) based on the untapped potential of hatchery infrastructure and dedicated earthen ponds for common carp ( L.

Polyethylene microplastics (PE MPs) have sparked widespread concern about their possible health implications because of their abundance, pervasiveness in the environment and in our daily life. Multiple investigations have shown that a high dosage of PE MPs may adversely impact gastrointestinal health. In tandem with the rising prevalence of Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in recent decades, global plastic manufacturing has risen to more than 300 million tons per year, resulting in a build-up of plastic by-products such as PE MPs in our surroundings.

Background: Fish is considered an important food because it includes main nutrients (proteins, fats, and ash) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals). The assessment of fish nutritional content data may offer crucial recommendations regarding freshwater fish consumption and preserving human well-being.
Aim: Evaluate the safety and quality properties of Nasser Lake fish, Aswan, Egypt.
