Tel: + 55-19-3788 7292; fax: +55-19-3289 3124; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract - The trichomycterid catfishes known as candirus are renowned for their blood feeding, but information on their habits under natural conditions is very fragmentary and generally restricted to hosts or habitats. We recorded an undescribed species of the vandelliine genus Paracanthopoma riding the giant jau catfish, Zungaro zungaro (Pimelodidae), in the upper Amazon. The candirus were found on the host’s caudal and pectoral fins, as well as the base of the dorsal fin, with their snouts buried up to the eyes in the tough skin of the catfish host. All of them had small amounts of partly digested blood in the distal part of the gut. Along the host’s dorsal fin base we found a few additional tiny holes, most of them healed. We suggest that Paracanthopoma feeds on the gill chamber of its hosts, and that the individuals we found were taking a ride partly buried into the host’s skin. -

A bstract The genetic characterization of catfishes by means of phenotypic markers, karyotyping, protein and DNA polymorphisms contributes to or forms an integral part of the disciplines of systematics, population genetics, quantitative genetics, biochemistry, molecular biology and aquaculture. Judged from the literature, the general approach to research is pragmatic; the Siluroidei do not include model species for fundamental genetic research. The Clariidae and the Ictaluridae represent the best studied families. The’ systematic status of a number of species and families has been either elucidated or confirmed by genetic approaches. Duplication of ancestral genes occurred in catfishes just as in other vertebrates. The genetic structure of and gene flow among natural populations have been documented in relatively few cases, while the evaluation of strains for aquaculture (especially Ictaluridae and Clariidae) is in progress. The mapping of genetic markers has started in Ictalurus. It appears that a more detailed knowledge of catfish populations is required from two perspectives. First, natural populations which are threatened by habitat loss and interfluvial or intercontinental transfers are poorly characterized at the genetic level. -

"Colombian Shark Catfish" Ariopsis Seemanni in Water of Different Salinities 1Lury N
Evaluation of the survival and growth of the ornamental "Colombian shark catfish" Ariopsis seemanni in water of different salinities 1Lury N. García, 1Jean P. Lozano, 2Frank A. Chapman 1 Programa de Tecnología en Acuicultura, Universidad del Pacífico, Buenaventura, Valle del Cauca, Colombia; 2 Fisheries & Aquatic Sciences-SFRC, University of Florida, Florida, USA. Corresponding author: F. A. Chapman, [email protected] Abstract. Ariopsis seemanni is one of the few marine catfish in the ornamental fish trade. In Colombia, its country of origin, this catfish is being overfished. The most immediate threat to their populations occurs during their collection and commercialization, in which they are treated as a freshwater fish. The fish are collected in water of varying salinities then immediately placed in freshwater that compromises their health and typically causes mass mortalities. In this study, we evaluated the growth and survival of small juveniles of this catfish raised in water of different salinities (0, 10, 20 ppt), over a period of 60 days. The average weight and length of the catfish at the beginning of the experiment were 2.6±0.1 g and 60.9±2.7 mm, respectively. At the end of the experiment, the catfish reared in salt water (10 and 20 ppt) grew significantly (p < 0.05) from their initial values and were significantly larger (e.g., 6.0±1.3 g and 82±7.4 mm; p < 0.05) than those maintained in freshwater; which did not gain significant weight (e.g., 2.6±0.5 g, p > 0.05). The average size of fish was similar (p > 0.5), within the two salinity treatments. -

EDITOR: Mrs Ajetomobi School of Agricultural Sciences Lagos State Polytechnic Ikorodu, Lagos 2 BIO 313 COURSE GUIDE Introduction Animal Ecology (313) is a first semester course. It is a two credit unit elective course which all students offering Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Biology can take. Animal ecology is an important area of study for scientists. It is the study of animals and how they related to each other as well as their environment. It can also be defined as the scientific study of interactions that determine the distribution and abundance of organisms. Since this is a course in animal ecology, we will focus on animals, which we will define fairly generally as organisms that can move around during some stages of their life and that must feed on other organisms or their products. There are various forms of animal ecology. This includes: • Behavioral ecology, the study of the behavior of the animals with relation to their environment and others • Population ecology, the study of the effects on the population of these animals • Marine ecology is the scientific study of marine-life habitat, populations, and interactions among organisms and the surrounding environment including their abiotic (non-living physical and chemical factors that affect the ability of organisms to survive and reproduce) and biotic factors (living things or the materials that directly or indirectly affect an organism in its environment). -

MENDONÇA, SAMUEL BALANIN & DOMINGOS GARRONE-NETO Academy Section: BIOLOGICAL Abstract : In this study we analyzed data on fi shing landings of Genidens barbus in the SCIENCES state of São Paulo, Brazil, from 2000 to 2014. An estimation of the total production was obtained through the analysis of 781,856 landings, among which 87% were categorized as artisanal and 13% as industrial. The abundance index showed some stability in the e20180450 period. However, due to the high number of production units, the fi shing effort need to be maintained, given that there is a risk that increased production might affect the abundance of G. barbus. Thus, as alternatives to maintaining marine catfi sh exploitation 92 in southeastern Brazil under control, the following management actions can be (Suppl. 2) suggested: i) prohibition of fi shing activity by the industrial sector; ii) strengthening of 92(Suppl. 2) inspection of the fl eet that is not allowed to participate in the marine catfi sh fi sheries, with emphasis on purse seiners; and iii) maintenance of a closed season for G. barbus, performing an adaptive management of fi shing prohibition according to the reproductive biology of the species and with the support of artisanal fi shers.
