The specimens were collected from the fresh waters of the western and eastern areas of Georgia. DNA barcodes (CO1) were obtained from samples, which turned out to belong to Rhithropanopeus harrisii (Decapoda: Panopeidae) and Rhinogobius lindbergi (Gobiiformes: Oxudercidae), detected in Georgia for the first time. Our results demonstrated the usefulness of the molecular methods for the identification of new species introductions that can play an important role in the early detection and the timely decision making. The results encourage the increase of taxon sampling and DNA barcode libraries development in order to effectively deal with the biodiversity inventory and monitoring.

The sampling period was carried out from October 2012 to December 2012 at five distinct sites/ponds. A total of 1214 samples were collected during the sampling period. Length-weight relationships for Site 1 (isolated pond located beside UTAR Sport Complex) was W = 8.365L2.975 (total length) and W = 15.488L2.992 (standard length); for Site 3 (small pond beside parking lot of UTAR Sport Complex) was W = 7.178L3.083 (total length) and W = 11.535L3.195 (standard length); for Site 4 (large pond located beside block B; in front of block C) was W = 7.482L3.102 (total length) and W = 12.735L3.188 (standard length); for Site 5 (fast running stream between block E and block F) was W = 7.145L3.156 (total length) and W = 12.445L3.207 (standard length). The R. giurinus exhibited isometric growth in Site 1 and positive allometric growth in Sites 3, 4 and 5. The mean of Kn obtained among sites was 1.005 ± 0.107 (total length) and 1.006 ± 0.123 (standard length), indicating fishes in ex-tin mining ponds were in good ii condition.

Two new freshwater species of the gobiid fish genus Rhinogobius, R. yaima and R. yon- ezawai, are described based on specimens from swift streams in the Ryukyu Islands, Japan. Rhinogo- bius yaima (16 specimens, 30.2–66.2 mm SL) is distinguished from all congeneric species by the following combination of features: 40–43 longitudinal scales; 10+16=26 vertebrae; head depressed, body and caudal peduncle elongate; first dorsal fin low in males, not extending posteriorly to second dorsal fin; fifth pelvic-fin segmented ray usually divided into five branches at its first (most proximal) segmenting point; pectoral-fin base and prepelvic area naked; belly with small cycloid scales except for a narrow area around ventral midline; a distinct orange oval spot on pectoral-fin base; two orange stripes on temporal region, reaching posteriorly to below origin of second dorsal fin; four vertical rows of orange dots on caudal fin in males; a pair of black blotches at caudal-fin base in females when alive or freshly collected. Rhinogobius yonezawai (17 specimens, 45.8–75.2 mm SL) differs from all congeners by the following combination of features: 35–39 longitudinal scales; 10+16=26 vertebrae; first dorsal fin in males high and falcate, non-filamentous, extending posteriorly to second dorsal-fin; fifth pelvic-fin segmented ray divided into four branches; pectoral-fin base and prepelvic area naked; belly with small cycloid scales except for a narrow area around ventral midline or around anterior half of ventral midline; a distinct black oval spot on pectoral-fin base; two orange stripes on temporal region, reaching posteriorly to below first dorsal fin; six to eight vertical red or orange lines on caudal fin in males; a black bifurcated blotch posteriorly at caudal-fin base in females when alive or freshly collected.

Dintre acestea, 5 specii rare sunt înregistrate în Cartea Roşie a Vietnamului (2007), iar 84 de specii au valoare economică. 68 de specii au fost colectate în amonte, 64 de specii distribuite în cursul mijlociu al râului, 61 de specii în aval şi 100 de specii din estuar.

  • Identifying Migration Flexibility and the Environmental Factors That Influence Variation in Recruitment Success in Partially Migratory Hawaiian Fishes
    IDENTIFYING MIGRATION FLEXIBILITY AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE VARIATION IN RECRUITMENT SUCCESS IN PARTIALLY MIGRATORY HAWAIIAN FISHES A Dissertation by HEIDI HEIM-BALLEW BS, Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, 2015 Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in MARINE BIOLOGY Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi Corpus Christi, Texas May 2019 © Heidi Elizabeth Mae Ballew All Rights Reserved May 2019 IDENTIFYING MIGRATION FLEXIBILITY AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE VARIATION IN RECRUITMENT SUCCESS IN PARTIALLY MIGRATORY HAWAIIAN FISHES A Dissertation by HEIDI HEIM-BALLEW This dissertation meets the standards for scope and quality of Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi and is hereby approved. J. Derek Hogan, PhD Chair David Portnoy, PhD Jennifer Pollack, PhD Committee Member Committee Member Benjamin D. Walther Kent Byus, PhD Committee Member Graduate Faculty Representative May 2019 ABSTRACT Behavior flexibility during the larval stage influences differential mortality, recruitment, and population dynamics; recruitment is poorly understood, yet important for understanding population persistence. The purpose of this dissertation was to examine fishes for migration flexibility and to identify factors at different spatiotemporal scales that are influential to differential survival within and across populations. I found that four underexplored native freshwater fishes of Hawai‘i exhibited a larval migratory strategy, but many were flexible. One species (Sicyopterus stimpsoni) showed all individuals made a migration, and the others showed 25 – 40 % did not migrate. Next, I examined if migrant (S. stimpsoni) and flexible species (Awaous stamineus) showed lunar rhythmicity at hatching and settlement. Migrants of the flexible species showed more hatching around the full moon and settlement around the new moon, and residents showed the opposite pattern.

  • Viet Nam Ramsar Information Sheet Published on 16 October 2018
    RIS for Site no. 2360, Van Long Wetland Nature Reserve, Viet Nam Ramsar Information Sheet Published on 16 October 2018 Viet Nam Van Long Wetland Nature Reserve Designation date 10 February 2017 Site number 2360 Coordinates 20°23'35"N 105°51'10"E Area 2 736,00 ha https://rsis.ramsar.org/ris/2360 Created by RSIS V.1.6 on - 16 October 2018 RIS for Site no. 2360, Van Long Wetland Nature Reserve, Viet Nam Color codes Fields back-shaded in light blue relate to data and information required only for RIS updates. Note that some fields concerning aspects of Part 3, the Ecological Character Description of the RIS (tinted in purple), are not expected to be completed as part of a standard RIS, but are included for completeness so as to provide the requested consistency between the RIS and the format of a ‘full’ Ecological Character Description, as adopted in Resolution X.15 (2008). If a Contracting Party does have information available that is relevant to these fields (for example from a national format Ecological Character Description) it may, if it wishes to, include information in these additional fields. 1 - Summary Summary Van Long Wetland Nature Reserve is a wetland comprised of rivers and a shallow lake with large amounts of submerged vegetation. The wetland area is centred on a block of limestone karst that rises abruptly from the flat coastal plain of the northern Vietnam. It is located within the Gia Vien district of Ninh Binh Province. The wetland is one of the rarest intact lowland inland wetlands remaining in the Red River Delta, Vietnam.
