    43002257 The Biology Ecology & Conserv. Of Smallscale Croaker Boesemania Microlepis in the Mainstream Mekong S. Laos Natural History Bulletin Vol.49 No.2 pp16 LAO Ian G. Barid, Bounpheng Phylavanh, Bounthong Vongsenesouk, and Khamsouk Xaiyamanivong P.O. Box 860, Pakse, LAO E-mail address: [email protected] The smallscale croaker Boesemania microlepis is a large species in the perciform family Sciaenidae reaching over a metre in length and at least 18 kg in weight. Although drums and croakers from this family are mainly marine, this freshwater species is found in the Mekong, Chao Phraya, Nan, Meklong, Tachin, and Bang Pakong River basins. It occurs in the Mekong River basin in Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam, and parts of peninsular Malaysia and Western Indonesia. In the Mekong River, the species is known at least as far north as Louang Phrabang in northern Laos. This paper reviews the status of mainstream Mekong River populations of the smallscale croaker in southern Laos. We have identified seven known spawning grounds in Khong District, Champasak Province, southern Laos based on the dry-season occurrence of croaking individuals in spawning condition in these areas. We discuss habitat usage and the acoustic sounds made by smallscale croakers. Fish Conservation Zones have already been established to benefit the species, and this may be an excellent strategy for protecting populations. Boesemania microlepis should be considered for special IUCN conservation listing, based on widespread reports of severely declining stocks of this popular and expensive food fish in southern Laos and northeast Cambodia.

Until recently, the 19th species and the only truly freshwater species in this family, Freshwater Drum, was found approximately 420 miles WNW from Cape Hatteras in the French Broad River near Hot Springs.

But composition and monophyly of this family have been challenged in subsequent Revised 3 May 2011 morphological studies.

In other studies, Lates + Psammoperca were excluded, restricting the family to Available online 12 May 2011 Centropomus. Recent analyses of DNA sequences did not solve the controversy, mainly due to limited taxonomic or character sampling. The present study is based on DNA sequence data from thirteen Keywords: genes (one mitochondrial and twelve nuclear markers) for 57 taxa, representative of all relevant Centropomidae species. Five of the nuclear markers are new for fish phylogenetic studies.

Sasaki iagnostic characters: Moderately elongate, moderately compressed, small to large (to 200 cm Dstandard length) perciform fishes. Head and body (occasionally also fins) completely scaly, except tip of snout. Sensory pores often conspicuous on tip of snout (upper rostral pores), on lower edge of snout (marginal rostral pores), and on chin (mental pores), usually 3 or 5 upper rostral pores, 5 marginal rostral pores, and 3 pairs of mental pores; these pores usually distinct in bottom feeders with inferior to subterminal mouth, whereas indistinct in midwater feeders with terminal to oblique mouth.

This index combines three standard methods of stomach analysis namely: the Management, University of Uyo, point, frequency of occurrence and numerical methods. The resultant IRI was further expressed as a Uyo, Nigeria percentage for each food item. The major dietary categories were of two classes namely: crustacean (shrimps) and Pisces (fish) with % IRI of 51.81% and 24.34% respectively. Other items (unidentified Ambrose EE mass of tissues, plant materials, and polychaete worms) had a total % IRI of 23.84%.

Conservation status of wild totoaba and its legal use in Mexico 1.1. History and fishing ban The totoaba (Totoaba macdonaldi) is distributed in the most important and productive fishing zone in Mexico (Gulf of California). In 1920, the fishing of this species influenced the establishment of fishing villages in the Upper Gulf, but it was until 1929 that it was commercially exploited, increasing fishing to 2,000 tons per year between 1940-1950, for meat consumption. In 1955, the government of Mexico established a seasonal ban to protect the breeding areas in the critical stages (mouth of the Colorado River); in 1974, this area was decreed a Reserve for the species subject to fishing.

Within Kthe United States, Kentucky’s native freshwater fish diversity is exceeded only by Alabama and Tennessee. This high diversity of native fishes corresponds to an abun- dance of water bodies and wide variety of aquatic habitats across the state – from swift upland streams to large sluggish rivers, oxbow lakes, and wetlands. Approximately 25 species are most frequently caught by anglers either for sport or food. Many of these species occur in streams and rivers statewide, while several are routinely stocked in public and private water bodies across the state, especially ponds and reservoirs. The largest proportion of Kentucky’s fish fauna (80%) includes darters, minnows, suckers, madtoms, smaller sunfishes, and other groups (e.g., lam- preys) that are rarely seen by most people.
