De- spite such intensive work, the taxonomic status of N. japonicus has never been seriously questioned and it is regarded as a common species, widely distributed throughout the Indo-Western Pacific Ocean. In fact, Bloch’s description of the type specimen of N. ja- ponicus has ambiguous collection data and lacks a designation for the type locality, though it is probably Java. In this paper, DNA barcode results based on COI gene support the existence of two geographically separated lineages of the Japanese threadfin bream, both being an Indian Ocean and western Pacific lineage, with 2.7% sequence divergence, and the results indicate a possible existing of some cryptic species. The two lineages also possess a diagnostic difference in their belly color, with specimens in the South China Sea having a silver belly, while those from the Indian Ocean isolate specimen have a yellow coloration. Based upon new collections from the South China Sea, this species from the western Pacific is morphologically redescribed and its details of DNA barcode diver- sity are shown for the future investigations. Key words South China Sea; Indian Sea; Indo-Pacific Barrier; COI gene details DNA barcode diversity in N. japonicus on the ba- sis of specimens from the South China Sea. 1 Introduction Nemipterus Swainson, 1839, the largest genus in the family Nemipteridae, includes about 26 species (Russell, 2 Materials and Methods 1990) which are distributed in the Indo-Western Pacific 2.1 Sample Collection and Examination Ocean.

  • Relative Abundance and Growth of Male and Female Nemipterus Furcosus Population (Kelimpahan Relatif Dan Tumbesaran Jantan Dan Betina Populasi Nemipterus Furcosus)
    Sains Malaysiana 45(1)(2016): 79–86 Relative Abundance and Growth of Male and Female Nemipterus furcosus Population (Kelimpahan Relatif dan Tumbesaran Jantan dan Betina Populasi Nemipterus furcosus) F.S. AMIRA, M.M. RAHMAN*, B.Y. KAMARUZZAMAN, K.C.A. JALAL, M.Y. HOSSAIN & N.S. KHAN ABSTRACT A study was conducted to understand the relative abundance and growth of male and female Nemipterus furcosus population in the Pahang coastal water, Malaysia. The sampling was done monthly for a period of one year. A total of 1446 fish specimens were studied in this research. The results showed that maleN. furcosus population was significantly more than female (p<0.01) N. furcosus population. The growth coefficient (b value) varied between 2.6808 and 3.2396 for male and 2.0926 and 3.2838 for female N. furcosus. The growth co-efficients of maleN. furcosus were significantly different than the growth co-efficients of female N. furcosus in all months (p<0.05). They showed negative allometric growths in February- June and September. Female N. furcosus showed positive allometric growths in November-January and August. Isometric growths of female were observed only in October and July. As for male N. furcosus, negative allometric growths were observed in March-June, November and January. Male N. furcosus showed positive allometric growths in August, September, October, December and February. Male N. furcosus showed isometric growth only in July. The overall mean condition factor of male and female was statistically similar (p>0.05). The condition factor (K) ranged from 1.2559 to 1.3917 for male while 1.2503 to 1.3926 for female N.

  • Based on the Research of Primitive Architecture of Li Nationality in Hainan Province

Li Nationality’s dwellings space and model have their peculiar vantages including the ancient wisdom of sustainable environmental protection and respecting natural world. Li Nationality adopted the idea of building a boat to construct houses and organized their own families before 4000 years ago and the houseboats contained typical characteristics of simple, saving materials and making good use of the old boats . However, with the modern cultures influence of Han Nationality, more Li people is giving up their traditional houseboats. The only reserved village which possesses traditional houseboats is Baizha in the Dongfang City of Hainan Province. Hainan Province government and researchers are trying to protect the related cultures and houseboats style architecture by moving them into the scenic area or introduce more tourists to visit village having houseboats to increase the income of Li Nationality and make them adapt themselves to modern economic society based on reserve traditional life-style. Step 1 is digging historical and cultural information in Li Nationality, their fairy stories, religious faith and folk songs, step 2 is applying all those materials to intangible cultural heritage list and getting enough subsidiary funds from governments, step 3 is organizing researchers and architects to visit village, step 4 is attracting more tourists to visit it, reserving this traditional architecture style based on cyclic economy.

E-mail: [email protected] Received: January 10, 2017; Revised received: August 14, 2017; Accepted: January 10, 2018 Abstract: Fishery, population characteristics and stock estimates of Nemipterus bipunctatus were studied during June 2015 to May 2016 from Wadge Bank, South India. This region is characterised by rich biodiversity and has a conducive influence of the Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea. The asymptotic length (L∞), growth coefficient (K) and arbitrary origin of growth (t0) were estimated as 30.5 cm, 0.85/year and 0.18 respectively. The mortality parameters, total mortality rate (Z), fishing mortality rate and natural mortality rate (M) were estimated as 2.20, 0.95 and 1.25 respectively. Exploitation ratio (E) was found to be 0.57 which showed marginal over exploitation of the species at Wadge Bank. This species has two recruitment seasons, one major season from October to December and another minor season in August. The length structured Virtual population analysis revealed heavy fishing pressure on the length group 24 to 28 cm and hence the delegoa threadfin bream was not found to suffer due to recruitment over- fishing in Wadge Bank.

A cold water fish, namely salmon was used for comparison. Moisture content, crude fat, fatty acids composition and chemical characteristics of fish fillets of Yellowstripe scad, Japanese threadfin bream and salmon were determined. Japanese threadfin bream fillet had highest moisture and crude fat contents, followed by fillets of Yellowstripe scad and salmon. A significantly strong and negative correlation was found between moisture and crude fat contents of these fish fillets. Fillets of Japanese threadfin bream and Yellowstripe scad also had higher total saturated fatty acids than total unsaturated fatty acids.

In total, 221 (varied between 10.8-21.9 cm in total length and 18.19-150.10 g in total weight) were examined on a monthly basis between May 2015 and April 2016. The sex ratio (male: female) was 1:0.51 and showed significant variation depending on age classes. The length-weight relationship parameters were estimated as follows; a = 0.0171, b = 2.92, r 2= 0.92 (n = 221). Ages ranged from 1 to 5, and the 2-years group was dominant (42.53%) for both sexes. von Bertalanffy growth parameters and phi-prime -1 growth performance index value calculated as L∞= 27.57 cm, k= 0.183 year , t0= -2.88 and Φ= 2.14 for all individuals. The results representing the first study on age and growth of N. randalli in the southern Aegean Sea.

  • The Food and Feeding Habits of the Delagoa Threadfin Bream, Nemipterus Bipunctatus (Valenciennes, 1830), from the Coastal Waters Around Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania

Abstract Nemipterus bipunctatus is among the Nemipterids that support artisanal fisheries throughout most of the Western Indian Ocean (WIO) region. Despite its economic importance, information on food and feeding habits is poorly known in the region. Feeding habit was examined with respect to size, sex, maturity stages of the predator, and season. The food preference for N. bipunctatus was determined using Index of Relative Importance (IRI). Crustaceans were the main prey group accounting for more than 40% IRI of the total food ingested with crabs being the most dominant prey item in the group. Fish ranked as the second prey group accounting for 32.1 % IRI of the total food consumed. Meiofauna, bivalves, miscellaneous and cephalopods made up the rest of the diet. Significantly higher mean number of major prey categories were encountered in N. bipunctatus stomachs during the southeast monsoon as compared to during the northeast monsoon (two way contingency table analysis test, χ2-test, df=3, p< 0.001). An ontogenic diet shift study revealed that meiofauna, cephalopods, and bivalves groups had higher contributions in the diet of smaller N.
