Seasonal population dynamics of the monogeneans Quadriacanthus kobinensis parasitising Clarias fuscus in Pearl River, China by Hu J. J., Li H. Y.

“…This paper describes the population dynamics of Quadriacanthus kobinensis on the gills of Clarias fuscus following a field investigation from June 2012 to May 2013 in Pearl River, China. The results showed that in Q. kobinensis prevalence was highest (70.13 %) in the summer and Mean intensity reached a peak in the autumn. …”

A Data-Driven Framework for Spatiotemporal Analysis and Prediction of River Water Quality: A Case Study in Pearl River, China by Mengyu Lv, Xiaojun Niu, Dongqing Zhang, Haonan Ding, Zhang Lin, Shaoqi Zhou, Yongdong Zhu

“…To solve the problem, a data-driven framework for the analysis and prediction of water quality in the Guangzhou reach of the Pearl River, China, was constructed in this study. The results provided evidence of a discrepancy in the spatiotemporal dynamics of water quality, with the average water quality index (WQI) values ranging from 52.47 to 83.06, implying “moderate” to “excellent” water quality at different stations. …”

Nile Tilapia (<i>Oreochromis niloticus</i> Linnaeus, 1758) Invasion Caused Trophic Structure Disruptions of Fish Communities in the South China River—Pearl River by Fangmin Shuai, Jie Li

“…In this study, we quantified the multiple facets of trophic disruption in freshwater communities invaded by Nile tilapia, by comparing uninvaded and invaded rivers downstream of the Pearl River, China. Nile tilapia invasion reduced the trophic status of native fish species by forcing native herbivores and planktivores to seek new food sources. …”

Variation of material fluxes in a large heterogenic subtropical river: A combination of climate change and human damming influences by Li Zhang, Zhigang Lai, Jaia Syvitski

“…Study region: The West River, the main tributary of the Pearl River, China Study focus: A hydrological model of the West River was successfully established and used to quantify the role of basin-wide spatiotemporal change of the impacts of climate change and human damming activities in the variation of material fluxes (water discharge and sediment load) at the river outlet at both interannual and seasonal time scales of the period from 1975 to 2017. …”

Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) invasion impacts trophic position and resource use of commercially harvested piscivorous fishes in a large subtropical river by Fangmin Shuai, Jie Li, Sovan Lek

“…In this study, we examined the relative trophic position of native piscivorous fishes to estimate the effects of invasive Nile tilapia on food webs in the downstream sections of an invaded large subtropical river, the Pearl River, China. Furthermore, we quantified how native piscivorous fish diets changed as the Nile tilapia invasion progressed. …”
