Possibilities of domesticating certain wild birds have been suggested many years ago. Several of such species exhibit qualities that might make them suitable for sustained production. Collectively, poultry has become the most useful of all livestock—and the most widespread. Yet only a handful of species are employed. Of the 10,000 extant bird species, only a few (e.g., chickens, ducks, geese,...

The northern Moroccan mountains constitute a hotspot of biodiversity in the Mediterranean basin and are rich in orchids. However, threats to orchids are still poorly understood, particularly the effects of climate change and human activities. Moreover, information on their distributions is limited. This study aims to study...

11. Production characteristics of the Common Meagre Argyrosomus regius (Asso, 1801) (Teleostei: Sciaenidae) of the Moroccan Saharan Atlantic coastal waters: a comparison among fisheries, and aquaculture for restocking and industrial processes

Common Meagre, Argyrosomus regius, represents one of the largest fish of great economic importance as both natural fishery resource and farmed fish, in eastern Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean and Black seas. It has excellent biological characteristics with high feed conversion and fertility rates, euryhalinity, and relatively rapid and optimal growth between 16 and 20°C. It is appreciated...

66. Biological and Ecological Assessment of Freshwater Fish within the Zat Watershed (Morocco) Across an Altitudinal Gradient

Oral presentation - in person

The phenotypic flexibility and adaptability of freshwater fish can lead to morphological and structural changes in response to variations in their environment. The study of these responses is of paramount importance in understanding the vulnerability of these species to environmental perturbations, whether of natural or anthropogenic origin.
In this research, we used an altitudinal gradient...
