In this work, the impact of toxic substances on animals of wild fauna that come from the regions of Northern Greece during years 1998-2004, was studied. More specifically, from the analysis of 70 animals of wild fauna (38 birds and 32 mammals), it was observed that in 52.63% of birds and 43.75% of mammals, toxic substances causing their death were detected. Moreover, at the same time thousands of other birds suffered from the effect of toxic substances. The toxic substances that were detected in the biological materials of the aforementioned animals were mainly organophosphate and carbamate insecticides.10atoxic substances10atoxicosis10awild fauna1 aSamouris, G.1 aAntoniou, V.1 aZantopoulos, N.1 aIoannidou, M.  uhttps://icgf.myspecies.info/content/impact-toxic-substances-animals-wild-fauna-northern-greece02379nas a2200289   4500008004500000020001400045245009200059210006900151300001200220490000600232520148400238653001901722653001201741653002401753653002401777653001501801653002301816653002301839653001101862653001401873653001301887653001501900653001001915653002801925100002801953856010801981       2007                        Engldsh    a1311-506500aEnvironmental risks for the fish fauna in the main rivers of central Macedonia (Greece)0 aEnvironmental risks for the fish fauna in the main rivers of cen  a107-1180 v83 aMost of the inland water ecosystems are characterised nowadays as protected biotopes in Europe and they are subject to national and EU legislation. River ecosystems of Northern Greece and especially in Central Macedonia lately show a significant environmental degradation mostly due to the excessive exploitation of their natural resources, the pollution they receive and their improper management. Thus, their biological resources are disturbed and exhausted, especially their sensitive fish fauna, with a negative impact in the local socio-economic structure. This paper aims to determine the main environmental problems of the major river ecosystems affecting important risks for the fish fauna and the fish populations in Central Macedonia's region as the rivers Aliakmon, Loudias, Axios, and Strymon. Data about their fish fauna and the ecological status were collected from scientific references, studies, research programs and from the relative 'Fisheries Public Authorities' of each ecosystem. An important number of the species of the fish fauna of these river ecosystems is protected by particular national and international laws and conventions. The findings of the study can support the planning of sustainable and rational environmental friendly management and enhance the relations between biological resources and their habitats. The final results can contribute in the design of a total management plan for the protection of fish fauna in inland waters of Greece.10aALIAKMON RIVER10acentral10aCHEMICAL-PARAMETERS10aenvironmental risks10afish fauna10afishery management10aFRESH-WATER FISHES10aGreece10aMacedonia10anorthern10apesticides10ariver10asustainable development1 aKokkinakis, Antonis, K.  uhttps://icgf.myspecies.info/content/environmental-risks-fish-fauna-main-rivers-central-macedonia-greece02606nas a2200217   4500008004500000020001400045245015400059210006900213300001200282490000600294520179700300653000902097653002902106653002702135653001502162653002802177653001102205653001302216100002802229856013102257       2007                        Engldsh    a1311-506500aEcological problems concerning the distribution of the vulnerable fish fauna in running water ecosystems of East Macedonia and Thrace region (Greece)0 aEcological problems concerning the distribution of the vulnerabl  a442-4540 v83 aRunning water ecosystems such as rivers and torrents represent sensitive systems with very important value for the environmental stability, as their protection and conservation is important for local and regional development. The running water ecosystems of East Macedonia and Thrace region in Northern Greece, during the last decades, present an important environmental degradation, mostly due to the extreme use of their natural resources, the pollution they accept and the inappropriate imposed environmental management. Therefore, their vulnerable fish fauna is disturbed and in some cases exhausted, with a negative impact in the total ecosystem and its ecological structure. This paper aims to observe the major environmental problems of the main running water ecosystems concerning important risks for the fish fauna and the fish populations in East Macedonia's and Thrace region as the rivers Strymon, Aggitis, Nestos, Evros and Ardas and the torrents, Marmaras, Komsatos, Kosinthos, Filiouris, Bosbos and Erythropotamos. Data about the fish fauna and the ecological state of the above running water ecosystems were collected from scientific references, research projects and from reports of the relative 'Fisheries Public Authorities' of each ecosystem. The fish populations from a significant number of species that leave in the above ecosystems face a lot of problems in comparison to past, even if nowadays the majority of them is protected from specific national and international laws and conventions. The findings of the study can support the planning of a sustainable and rational environmental friendly management from the local authorities, and enhances the relations between the living resources, as the vulnerable fish species, and their habitats in running water systems.10aeast10aenvironmental management10aenvironmental problems10afish fauna10aMacedonia-Thrace region10arivers10atorrents1 aKokkinakis, Antonis, K.  uhttps://icgf.myspecies.info/content/ecological-problems-concerning-distribution-vulnerable-fish-fauna-running-water-ecosystems02692nas a2200217   4500008004500000020001400045245010400059210006900163300001200232490000600244520190800250653002702158653002902185653002402214653002202238653000802260100002802268700002502296700002302321856013002344       2007                        Engldsh    a1311-506500aSustainable aquaculture management of mediterranean coastal lakes with a multimedia learning system0 aSustainable aquaculture management of mediterranean coastal lake  a467-4770 v83 aThis paper describes the development of a multimedia learning system that enhances the training in the sustainable aquaculture management of the Mediterranean coastal lakes. The pilot version refers to the environmental sensitive coastal lake ecosystems formatted in the western part of North-eastern Greece from the estuary of the river Nestos till the estuary of the river Evros, including 26 coastal lakes, currently are under fishery management and international environmental protection. Aquaculture constitutes the major economic type of the exploitation of these coastal wetlands that faces favourable challenges, well adapted with their sensitive environment. Necessary data to implement the multimedia learning system were retrieved from scientific references and research programs. The collected material in type of texts, drawings, pictures and videos are digitised and then integrated in the multimedia project. The software used for the creation of the multimedia learning CD-Rom was Macromedia Studio MX 2004, PhotoShop 6.0, Fine Reader V.5 and Nero 7.2. The multimedia systems presents all the fishery-aquaculture methods in coastal lakes, the 'Extensive', the 'Semi-intensive' and the 'Intensive' method and generally fishery methods and further, there are presented in detail 26 case studies of coastal lakes. The case studies include the multimedia presentation of the wetland such as flora, fauna, fish fauna, fisheries, development interventions, legislation and activities for environment protection and rehabilitation, and also the applied detail fishery-aquaculture management of the coastal lakes, fishery installations, gear, annual and monthly production, etc. This multimedia learning system constitutes an useful tool for authorities concerning environmental friendly fishery management, protection, research, environmental education projects and coastal management projects.10aaquaculture management10acoastal lakes management10amultimedia learning10athe Mediterranean10aweb1 aKokkinakis, Antonis, K.1 aAndreopoulou, Z., S.1 aKirkenidis, I., V.  uhttps://icgf.myspecies.info/content/sustainable-aquaculture-management-mediterranean-coastal-lakes-multimedia-learning-system
