Now, after 20 years of intensive mapping and diving surveys, not just one but three of these desirable species of underwater vegetation have been found. 19 July 2022 press release Invasive fish: Sperm parasitism as success strategy The Prussian carp or Gibel carp is considered one of the most successful invasive fish species in Europe. Its ability to reproduce asexually gives it a major advantage over competing fish. An international research team has for the first time described the complete genome of the Prussian carp. This also provides a much better understanding of its unusual reproductive method and to improve its management. 20 May 2022 focus Diminishing habitats Our planet is experiencing a dramatic decline in biodiversity.
