  • Acanthopterygii, Bone, Eurypterygii, Osteology, Percomprpha
    Research in Zoology 2014, 4(2): 29-42 DOI: 10.5923/j.zoology.20140402.01 Comparative Osteology of the Jaws in Representatives of the Eurypterygian Fishes Yazdan Keivany Department of Natural Resources (Fisheries Division), Isfahan University of Technology, Isfahan, 84156-83111, Iran Abstract The osteology of the jaws in representatives of 49 genera in 40 families of eurypterygian fishes, including: Aulopiformes, Myctophiformes, Lampridiformes, Polymixiiformes, Percopsiformes, Mugiliformes, Atheriniformes, Beloniformes, Cyprinodontiformes, Stephanoberyciformes, Beryciformes, Zeiformes, Gasterosteiformes, Synbranchiformes, Scorpaeniformes (including Dactylopteridae), and Perciformes (including Elassomatidae) were studied. Generally, in this group, the upper jaw consists of the premaxilla, maxilla, and supramaxilla. The lower jaw consists of the dentary, anguloarticular, retroarticular, and sesamoid articular. In higher taxa, the premaxilla bears ascending, articular, and postmaxillary processes. The maxilla usually bears a ventral and a dorsal articular process. The supramaxilla is present only in some taxa. The dentary is usually toothed and bears coronoid and posteroventral processes. The retroarticular is small and located at the posteroventral corner of the anguloarticular. Keywords Acanthopterygii, Bone, Eurypterygii, Osteology, Percomprpha following method for clearing and staining bone and 1. Introduction cartilage provided in reference [18]. A camera lucida attached to a Wild M5 dissecting stereomicroscope was used Despite the introduction of modern techniques such as to prepare the drawings. The bones in the first figure of each DNA sequencing and barcoding, osteology, due to its anatomical section are arbitrarily shaded and labeled and in reliability, still plays an important role in the systematic the others are shaded in a consistent manner (dark, medium, study of fishes and comprises a major percent of today’s and clear) to facilitate comparison among the taxa.

The most diverse order was perciformes with 175 species, 100 genera and 43 families. The top four families with the highest number of species were gobidae (28 species), carangidae (23 species), engraulidae (15 species) and lutjanidae (14 species). Conservation status of all taxa includes one species as endangered, five species as vulnerable, 14 near threatened, 93 least concern and 16 data deficient. As numbers of commercial, sports, ornamental and cultivable fishes are high, commercial and recreational fishing could be organized. Seed production by selective breeding is recommended for aquaculture practices in estuarine areas of Tamil Nadu.

  • True Eels Or Freshwater Eels - Anguillidae
    ISSN 0859-290X, Vol. 5, No. 1 – September 1999 [Supplement No. 6] Even if the eels, in the perception of most people, constitute a readily recognizable group of elongated and snakelike fish, the eels do not constitute a taxonomic group. There is considerable confusion related to eels. See the following system used in "Fishes of the Cambodian Mekong" by Walther Rainboth (1996). In the Mekong, two orders (Anguilliformes and Synbranchiformes) including five eel-Iike fish families are represented: The true eels (Anguillidae), the worm eels (Ophichthidae), the dwarf swamp eels (Chaudhuriidae), the swamp eels (Synbranchidae), and the spiny eels (Mastacembelidae). Of these, the swamp eels and spiny eels are by far the most important in the fisheries. True eels or Freshwater eels - Anguillidae The name "freshwater eels", is not a good name to describe the habits of the species in this family. All the anguillid species are catadromous (a catadromous fish is bom in the sea, but lives most of its life in fresh water). The sexually mature fish migrate down to the sea to spawn, and the juveniles ("the elvers") move, sometimes for a considerable distance, up the river to find their nursery areas. The true eels, contrary to most of the other Mekong eels, have two gill openings, which are high on each side of the fish. The body is covered with small scales that are deeply embedded in the skin. Pelvic fins are absent, while pectoral fins are well developed. The long dorsal and anal fins are continuous with the caudal fin, and the fins are not preceded by any spines.

The swamp eel can live in holes without water anterior three arches only have gills. It is an air breather. The ratio has four internal gill slits and five gill arches, the of aerial and aquatic respiration is 3 to 1. When aerial respiration say that they pass their summer in the hole, but sometimes coming with the help of their respiratory organs. Some fishery scientists is not possible, M. albus can depend on aquatic respiration [13].

  • Percomorph Phylogeny: a Survey of Acanthomorphs and a New Proposal
    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 52(1): 554-626, 1993 PERCOMORPH PHYLOGENY: A SURVEY OF ACANTHOMORPHS AND A NEW PROPOSAL G. David Johnson and Colin Patterson ABSTRACT The interrelationships of acanthomorph fishes are reviewed. We recognize seven mono- phyletic terminal taxa among acanthomorphs: Lampridiformes, Polymixiiformes, Paracan- thopterygii, Stephanoberyciformes, Beryciformes, Zeiformes, and a new taxon named Smeg- mamorpha. The Percomorpha, as currently constituted, are polyphyletic, and the Perciformes are probably paraphyletic. The smegmamorphs comprise five subgroups: Synbranchiformes (Synbranchoidei and Mastacembeloidei), Mugilomorpha (Mugiloidei), Elassomatidae (Elas- soma), Gasterosteiformes, and Atherinomorpha. Monophyly of Lampridiformes is justified elsewhere; we have found no new characters to substantiate the monophyly of Polymixi- iformes (which is not in doubt) or Paracanthopterygii. Stephanoberyciformes uniquely share a modification of the extrascapular, and Beryciformes a modification of the anterior part of the supraorbital and infraorbital sensory canals, here named Jakubowski's organ. Our Zei- formes excludes the Caproidae, and characters are proposed to justify the monophyly of the group in that restricted sense. The Smegmamorpha are thought to be monophyletic principally because of the configuration of the first vertebra and its intermuscular bone. Within the Smegmamorpha, the Atherinomorpha and Mugilomorpha are shown to be monophyletic elsewhere. Our Gasterosteiformes includes the syngnathoids and the Pegasiformes

Nazaré, 481, CEP 04263-000, São Paulo, SP, Brazil *e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Received December 14, 2009 – Accepted May 26, 2010 – Distributed May 31, 2011 (With 1 figure) Abstract The Itapecuru is a relatively large river in the northeastern Brazilian state of Maranhão. During several expeditions to this basin, we collected 69 fish species belonging to 65 genera, 29 families and 10 orders. Characiformes and Siluriformes were the orders with the largest number of species and Characidae, Loricariidae, Cichlidae, Auchenipteridae and Pimelodidae were the richest families. About 30% of the fish fauna of the Itapecuru basin is endemic or restricted to northeastern Brazil. Just over a fifth (22%) of the species is also known to occur in the Amazon basin and only a few are more widely distributed in South American. Keywords: taxonomy, biodiversity, freshwater fishes.

  • Genetic Characterization of Swamp Eel of Bangladesh Through Dna Barcoding and Rapd Techniques
    J. Asiat. Soc. Bangladesh, Sci. 46(2): 117-131, December 2020 GENETIC CHARACTERIZATION OF SWAMP EEL OF BANGLADESH THROUGH DNA BARCODING AND RAPD TECHNIQUES MD MINHAZUL ABEDIN, MD MOSTAVI ENAN ESHIK, NUSRAT JAHAN PUNOM, MST. KHADIZA BEGUM AND MOHAMMAD SHAMSUR RAHMAN* Department of Fisheries, University of Dhaka, Dhaka 1000, Bangladesh Abstract The freshwater air-breathing swamp eel Monopterus spp. are native to the freshwater of Bangladesh and throughout the Indian subcontinent. To identify the different swamp eel species and to check the genetic diversity among them, a total of twelve swamp eel specimens were collected from four districts (Tangail, Bogura, Bagerhat and Sylhet) representing the four division of Bangladesh. The extracted DNA from twelve fish samples was amplified by the PCR technique for DNA barcoding and RAPD analysis. Among 12 specimens, 8 specimens showed a 95-100% similarity with M. cuchia species published in the NCBI GenBank database and BOLD system. The studied mct3 (collected from Tangail region), mcs1, mcs2 and mcs3 (collected from Sylhet region) specimens showed about 83% homology with Ophisternon sp. MFIV306-10 as per BLAST search; whereas BOLD private database showed 99% similarity with Ophisternon bengalense (Bengal eel). From the phylogenetic tree analysis, 8 samples were clustered with M. cuchia and 4 samples showed similarity with Ophisternon sp. MFIV306-10 and Ophisternon bengalense _ANGBF45828-19. In RAPD-PCR based analysis, it was found that the maximum genetic distance (1.6094) was observed between mcba2 and mcs3, while between mct1 and mct2, the minimum genetic distance was 0.000. A total of 192 bands, of which 35 were polymorphic with 17.88% polymorphisms among swamp eel species and the size of the amplified DNA fragments ranged from 250 to 1800 bp.
