In the mass mortality which occurred in November 1990 it has been estimated that a large part of the fish stock was lost. As a result, fish catches were greatly reduced in the lagoon in the following years. Hydrobiological studies suggest that the deaths are due to the high concentration of H2S in the hypolimnion. The continual enrichment of the water with H2S is attributed to the presence of gypsum deposits in the drainage basin and to the anaerobic breakdown of the accumulated organic matter. The presence of H2S in combination with the physiography of the ecosystem, the influxes of fresh and salt water, the runoff of agricultural chemicals and the strong prevailing southerly winds are responsible for the observed phenomenon.}, keywords = {Fish population, Greece, lagoon, MASS MORTALITY, Pisces}, author = {Leonardos, I. and Sinis, A.} } @article {8648, title = {Reproductive strategy of Aphanius fasciatus Nardo, 1827 (Pisces: Cyprinodontidae) in the Mesolongi and Etolikon lagoons (W.

During the reproductive period the percentage of males in the population decreased significantly, while after reproduction and during recruitment they increased. The females in each age class were larger than the males (40.33 mm and 36.72 mean total length for females and males, respectively).
