“…In this study, creek chubs responded to shifts in the quantity and quality of autochthonous aquatic prey by increasing consumption of terrestrial arthropods, thereby maintaining or increasing the average number of prey in the gut in the year after logging. A similar response to declines in autochthonous prey was shown for brook charr by Allan (1981) and Kingsbury & Kreutzweiser (1987).…”

“…Changes in stream fish feeding ecology have been associated with environmental disturbances such as channel modification (Benke et al 1979, Schlosser 1982, impoundment (Mahon et al 1979), and pesticide use (Kingsbury & Kreutzweiser 1987). Although all of the above studies document indirect effects of environmental disturbance on fish diet, only rarely have such changes been linked to concomitant shifts in fish production (Waters 1982, Portt et al 1986, Kingsbury & Kreutzweiser 1987, Kreutzweiser 1990). In addition, no published studies have specifically investigated post-logging changes in fish diet and production in eastern North America.…”

“…Because fish are typ-ically the top predators in small lotic systems, logging-induced changes in lower trophic levels may affect fish diet, growth, and production, even where fish are not directly affected by logging. Such indirect effects on stream fish populations may be as important as impacts involving direct alteration of fish habitat (Kingsbury & Kreutzweiser 1987). Changes in stream fish feeding ecology have been associated with environmental disturbances such as channel modification (Benke et al 1979, Schlosser 1982, impoundment (Mahon et al 1979), and pesticide use (Kingsbury & Kreutzweiser 1987).…”

SynopsisDiet and annual production of two cyprinid fishes in the Piscataquis River, Maine, were investigated before and after extensive deforestation of the surrounding watershed. Observed patterns were evaluated relative to post-logging changes in the benthic macroinvertebrate community, and to differences in ecomorphology between the two fishes. Prey selection was generally density-dependent for both predator species throughout the study, but significant exceptions to density-dependence were observed for several aquatic insect lifemode groups (e.g., swimmers, climbers, burrowers). This apparent preferencelavoidance for certain prey taxa by fish predators could be adequately explained by differential availability (vulnerability) among prey taxa. Compared to the year before logging, significant post-logging changes in diet composition and gut fullness were observed for both blacknose dace, Rhinichthys atratulus, and creek chub, Semotilus atromaculatus, concomitant with post-logging changes in the availability of benthic prey. Annual production of blacknose dace was significantly lower (52.7 vs. 37.7 kg ha-' y-') in the year following logging. In contrast, annual production of creek chub increased significantly after logging, from 8.6 to 17.4 kg ha-' y-l. Because post-logging changes in the physical environment were probably not sufficient to directly affect fish populations, we hypothesize that blacknose dace were morphologically constrained to feed on a declining aquatic prey resource, with a resultant decline in production. In contrast, the generalist creek chub switched to a non-aquatic prey resource (terrestrial arthropods) and no decline in production was observed for that species.

“…Times for reappearance or recovery of population density following pulse disturbances did not differ significantly among members of different trophic guilds (benthic insectivores, omnivores, generalized insectivores, herbivore-detrivores, insectivore-piscivores; Kruskal-Wallis, P > 0.05). Fish species commonly switch to alternative prey items during initial phases of recovery (Kingsbury and Kreutzweiser 1987, Warner andFenderson 1962), and subsequent recolonization by macroinvertebrates is relatively rapid following pulse disturbances (Niemi and others 1990).Reproductive guilds vary by substrate type used for spawning, level of parental investment, degree of development of respiratory organs or adaptation to low dissolved oxygen levels in larval fish, and time of spawning (Table 3) (Balon 1975(Balon , 1984. Recovery times of spedes reappearance or population densities varied fignificanfly among the most common reproductive guilds represented in available data (Kruskal-WaUis, P < 0.05; see Figure 7A).…”

ABSTRACT/To evaluate the relative effect of autecologic factors, site-specific factors, disturbance characteristics, and community structure on the recovery of temperate-stream fish communities, we reviewed case histories for 49 sites and recorded data on 411 recovery end points. Most data were derived from studies of low-gradient third-or fourth-order temperate streams located in forested or agricultural watersheds. Species composition, species richness, and total density all recovered within one year for over 70% ot systems studied. Lotic fish communities were not resilient to press disturbances (e.g., mining, logging, channelization) in the absence of mitigation efforts (recovery time >5 to >52 yr) and in these cases recovery was limited by habitat quality. Following pulse disturbances, autecological factors, site-specific factors, and disturbance-specific factors all affected rates of recovery. Centrarchids and minnows were most resilient to disturbance, while salmonid populations were least resilient of all families considered. Species within rock-substrate/nest-spawning guilds required significantly longer time periods to either recolonize or reestablish predisturbance population densities than did species within other reproductive guilds. Recovery was enhanced by the presence of refugia but was delayed by barriers to migration, especially when source populations for recolonization were relatively distant. Median population recovery times for systems in which disturbances occurred during or immediately prior to spawning were significantly less than median recovery times for systems in which disturbances occurred immediately after spawning. There was little evidence for the influence of biotic interactions on recovery rates.While studies of the effect of natural and anthropogenie disturbances on fish populations are common, relatively few studies examine the recovery of fish populations and communities (Niemi and others 1990). Data on recovery rates of aquatic communities are necessary not only for establishing exceedance criteria for water quality standards (Platkin 1988), but also for testing current ecological theory (Resh and others 1988, Yount and. Theories concerning the role of biotic versus abiotic control of fish communities (Schoener 1987), the role of succession in streams (Fisher 1983), island biogeugraphy theory (Minshall and others 1983), life history strategies, zoogeographical constraints, the effects of euvironmenud wiriability, and the effect of food web complexity on the stability of fish communities (Horwi~ 1978, DeAngelis and others 1989, Poff and Ward 1990, Reice and others 1990 are all relevant to the study of recovery processes.

| Throughout the world pesticides are widely employed in agriculture sector in order to elevate crops' yield with low labour and efforts. Pesticides exposure leads to toxicity in many non-target organisms, fish being one of the most prominent among these. Most of the time acute concentration of these pesticides leads to mortality while sub lethal concentration of these pesticides result in different lethal changes. These changes may be in behaviour of the exposed fish such as change in feeding behaviour, attack or avoiding behaviour and reproductive behaviour, or other types of alterations such as changes in histology (liver, kidneys, gills, muscles, brain, intestine), haematology (RBCs, WBCs or Plasma), anti-oxidant defence system (Glutathione reductase, Peroxidase, Catalase, Superoxide dismutase, Glutathione peroxidase, Glutathione-S-transferase etc.), changes in nutrient profile (Protein, Lipids, Carbohydrates, Moisture content and Ash etc.) and worth of the fish, hormonal or enzymatic alterations, oxygen consumption, and DNA damage or damage at genes level (genotoxicity). Different environmental agencies are working on this aspect and that's why there are a large number of banned chemicals. Still these chemicals are available in markets. Certain newly synthesized pesticides (insecticides or fungicides etc.) and extensive use of these chemicals are always there to maximize the problem for aquatic organisms especially fish. This article focuses on the same aspect of ecotoxicology and reviews some major induced toxicological aspects of pesticides in fish including behavioural changes, histopathological damages, haematological alterations, biochemical changes, fluctuations in acetylcholinesterase activity, vicissitudes in protein contents, induced genotoxicity, alterations in feeding biology, oxygen consumption and oxygen stress all across the world.
