The present studies describe Chromosomal aberration effects of electrofishing, which were evaluated on poecilia latipinna, located in Shat Al-Arab river in Al-garmma city (south of Iraq). The electrofishing derive used in work is simulated to that used in the commercial fishing. The apparatus generates voltage ranged from 40 to 280 volts. Nine bearers of poecilia latipinna sailfin molly fish in chromosomal analysis were divided into three treatments. The first were a control, the fishes of the second were exposed to 110 volts (10 seconds), and final groups were exposed to 110 volts (15 seconds). Mitotic index of the electrofishing with a control for each group decreased with increasing exposed time in somatic cell kidney tissue of poecilia latipinna. The chromosome aberration analysis revealed a significant increase in the most frequent aberration per 150 metaphase in analyzed groups (1.33 in T1 groups, 39.33 in T2 groups) was chromosome break, fragment, range chromosome, Sticky chromosome mean, were higher in comparison to non exposed electrical shock fishing groups (control groups T1). At the same time, it showed a higher positive correlation of total chromosome aberration frequencies between T1 and T2 groups, while, all fishes died in T3 groups. According to our results, we represented the first record in Iraq.

The Muller-Lyer illusion is a well-known distortion illusion that occurs when the spatial arrangement of inducers(i.e.,inwards-or outwards-pointing arrowheads)influences a line's perceived relative length.To date,this illusion has been reported in several animal species but only in 1 teleost fish(i.e.,redtail splitfins Xenotoca eiseni),although teleost fish represent approximately 50%of vertebrate diversity.We investigated the perception of this illusion in another teleost fish:guppies poecilia reticulata,a species that diverged from the redtail splitfin 65 million years ago.The guppies were trained to select the longer between 2 lines;after meeting the learning criterion,illusory trials were presented.Control trials were also arranged to exclude the possibility that their choices were based on potential spatial biases that relate to the illusory pattern.The guppies'overall performance indicated that they were susceptible to the Muller-Lyer illusion,perceiving the line with the inwards-pointing arrowheads as longer.The performance in the control trials excluded the possibility that the subjects used the physical differences between the 2 figures as the discriminative cue in the illusory trials.Our study suggests that sensibility to the Muller-Lyer illusion could be widespread across teleost fish and reinforces the idea that the perceptual mechanisms underlying size estimation might be similar across vertebrates.

Behavioral flexibility provides an individual with the ability to adapt its behavior in response to environmental changes. Studies on mammals, birds, and teleosts indicate greater behavioral flexibility in females. Conversely, males appear to exhibit greater behavioral persistenee. We, therefore, investigated sex differences in behavioral flexibility in 2 closely related molly species (poecilia latipinna, P. mexicana) and their more distant relative, the guppy P. reticulata by comparing male and female individuals in a serial, visual reversal learning task. Fish were first trained in color discrimination, which was quickly learned by all females (guppies and mollies) and all molly males alike. Despite continued training over more than 72 sessions, male guppies did not learn the general test procedure and were, therefore, excluded from further testing. Once the reward contingency was reversed serially, molly males of both species performed considerably better by inhibiting their previous response and reached the learning criterion sign讦icantly faster than their respective con specific females. Moreover, Atlantic molly males clearly outperformed all other individuals (males and females) and some of them even reached the level of 1-trial learning. Thus, the apparently un iversal pattern of higher female behavioral flexibility seems to be in verted in the 2 examined molly species, although the evolutionary account of this pattern remains highly speculative. These findings were complemented by the observed lower neophobia of female sailfin mollies compared with their male con specifics. This sex differe nee was not observed in Atlantic mollies that were observed to be sigrdficantly less distressed in a novel situation than their consexuals. Hypothetically, sex differences in behavioral flexibility can possibly be explained in terms of the different roles that males and females play in mating competition, mate choice, and reproduction or, more gen erally, in complex social in teractio ns. Each of these characteristics

A major advantage of animal aggregations concerns cooperative antipredator strategies.Schooling behavior emerges earlier in many fish species,especially in those cannibalizing their offspring.Experience is fundamental for developing schooling behavior.However,the cognitive ability of naive newborn fish to aggregate remains unclear.Herein,poecilia reticulata,was selected as model organism to investigate how combinations of biomimetic robotic agents and adult conspecific olfactory cues affect collective responses in newborns.The role of white and brown backgrounds in evoking aggregations was also assessed.Olfactory cues were sufficient for triggering aggregations in P.reticulata newborns,although robotic agents had a higher influence on the group coalescence.The combination of robotic agents and olfactory cues increased schooling behavior duration.Notably,schooling was longer in the escape compartment when robotic agents were presented,except for the combination of the male-mimicking robotic fish plus adult guppy olfactory cues,with longer schooling behavior in the exploring compartment.Regardless of the tested cues,newborn fish aggregated preferentially on the brown areas of the arena.Overall,this research provides novel insights on the early collective cognitive ability of newborn fish,paving the way to the use of biomimetic robots in behavioral ecology experiments,as substitutes for real predators.

外来入侵物种正在日益取代本地物种,尤其是在人为转化或污染的栖息地中。这为我们提供了使用入侵物种作为生物污染评估指标的可能性。然而,对于相同的焦点物种,综合生物学评估还依赖于多种方法的应用来量化它们对污染的生理或细胞遗传学反应。当物种被限制在受污染或未受污染的地点时,这是具有挑战性的。本研究利用一小组新热带胎生鱼类（胎鳉科）对水质进行综合生物学评估。通过比较巴西城市乌贝兰迪亚城市及郊区受到工业和生活废水不同程度污染的河流,证明了这个科的两个成员可以作为评估水污染水平的指标。在严重污染的地方,Phalloceros caudimacula tus似乎已被入侵孔雀鱼（poecilia reticulata）所取代。尽管如此,本研究证明这两种物种都可以用于评估重金属（铅,铜和铬）的生物积累性。环境（沉积物）浓度预测了物种间体细胞组织中的浓度（R2值介于0.74和0.96之间）。此外,使用细胞遗传学方法估算了水污染的遗传毒性作用,并发现了污染水平（多个变量,压缩为主成分）用来预测物种间核异常的发生（例如,微核细胞的频率）R2在0.69和0.83之间)。在城市和受污染的环境中都会出现的胎鳉鱼,使这个科的鱼成为主要的生物监测和评估水质的焦点生物。两种物种可以互换使用,以评估水污染的遗传毒性影响,这可能有助于将来在广泛的地理范围内进行比较分析,因为胎鳉鱼科的成员已在世界范围内入侵了热带和亚热带地区。
