  • Aquna Murray Cod Australia from the Southeast Corner of Australia Comes a One-Of-A-Kind Fish Found Nowhere Else
    Aquna Murray Cod Australia From the southeast corner of Australia comes a one-of-a-kind fish found nowhere else. One of the largest freshwater fish in the world, Murray Cod was once hunted to the brink, but has returned to its rightful place in Australian and world gastronomy through the work of one producer. The Fish The Farm The Murray Cod is one of the largest freshwater fish in the world, and Mat Ryan was originally a dry land wheat and sheep farmer. Weary an adult can weigh well over 200 pounds. Though an iconic fish to of struggling in a commodity industry, he looked for something new the Ngarrindjeri peoples for thousands of years, it was English to grow, something that was not as dependent on volume and global colonists, more familiar with cod than with the perch to which the prices.

Only a few Aquna now has 26 ponds, with 40 more coming online in the next years after the English colonization of Australia, commercial few years. The fish are raised in off-bottom cages. Some ponds are exploitation was underway, and by the 1880s, the fish formed an owned directly, while others are contracted with independent farms important and profitable commercial fishery. Overfishing took its toll, — all working according to Aquna’s standards.

  • Cladocera: Anomopoda: Daphniidae) from the Lower Cretaceous of Australia
    Palaeontologia Electronica palaeo-electronica.org Ephippia belonging to Ceriodaphnia Dana, 1853 (Cladocera: Anomopoda: Daphniidae) from the Lower Cretaceous of Australia Thomas A. Hegna and Alexey A. Kotov ABSTRACT The first fossil ephippia (cladoceran exuvia containing resting eggs) belonging to the extant genus Ceriodaphnia (Anomopoda: Daphniidae) are reported from the Lower Cretaceous (Aptian) freshwater Koonwarra Fossil Bed (Strzelecki Group), South Gippsland, Victoria, Australia. They represent only the second record of (pre-Quater- nary) fossil cladoceran ephippia from Australia (Ceriodaphnia and Simocephalus, both being from Koonwarra). The occurrence of both of these genera is roughly coincident with the first occurrence of these genera elsewhere (i.e., Mongolia). This suggests that the early radiation of daphniid anomopods predates the breakup of Pangaea. In addi- tion, some putative cladoceran body fossils from the same locality are reviewed; though they are consistent with the size and shape of cladocerans, they possess no cladoceran-specific synapomorphies. They are thus regarded as indeterminate diplostracans. Thomas A. Hegna. Department of Geology, Western Illinois University, Macomb, IL 61455, USA. ta- [email protected] Alexey A. Kotov. A.N.

The rarity of Water fleas (Crustacea: Cladocera) are small, the cladoceran fossils is probably an artifact, a soft-bodied branchiopod crustaceans and are a result of insufficient efforts to find them in known diverse and ubiquitous component of inland and new palaeontological collections (Kotov, aquatic communities (Dumont and Negrea, 2002).

  • BONY FISHES 602 Bony Fishes
    click for previous page BONY FISHES 602 Bony Fishes GENERAL REMARKS by K.E. Carpenter, Old Dominion University, Virginia, USA ony fishes constitute the bulk, by far, of both the diversity and total landings of marine organisms encoun- Btered in fisheries of the Western Central Atlantic.They are found in all macrofaunal marine and estuarine habitats and exhibit a lavish array of adaptations to these environments. This extreme diversity of form and taxa presents an exceptional challenge for identification. There are 30 orders and 269 families of bony fishes presented in this guide, representing all families known from the area. Each order and family presents a unique suite of taxonomic problems and relevant characters. The purpose of this preliminary section on technical terms and guide to orders and families is to serve as an introduction and initial identification guide to this taxonomic diversity. It should also serve as a general reference for those features most commonly used in identification of bony fishes throughout the remaining volumes. However, I cannot begin to introduce the many facets of fish biology relevant to understanding the diversity of fishes in a few pages. For this, the reader is directed to one of the several general texts on fish biology such as the ones by Bond (1996), Moyle and Cech (1996), and Helfman et al.(1997) listed below. A general introduction to the fisheries of bony fishes in this region is given in the introduction to these volumes. Taxonomic details relevant to a specific family are explained under each of the appropriate family sections. The classification of bony fishes continues to transform as our knowledge of their evolutionary relationships improves.

This type of tail primitively results from an ontogenetic fusion of centra (bodies of vertebrae) and the possession of paired bracing bones located bilaterally along the dorsal region of the caudal skeleton, derived ontogenetically from the neural arches (uroneurals) of the ural (tail) centra.

    Bulletin of the Psychonomic Society 1980,16 (6),484-485 Betta splendens: A territorial note PAUL M. BRONSTEIN Trenton State College, Trenton, New Jersey 08625 Two communities of Siamese fighting fish were observed, each for about 4 months. Males occasionally built nests, and these structures were always located in corners. Consistent with Goldstein's (1975) report, male Bettas chose isolated areas for nest building and spawning. This paper is a brief report appended to a set of twice daily (1000 and 1600 h). During feedings, the existence studies concerned with the style and function of aggres­ and location of nests, along with subjects' positions with regard sion in male Siamese fighting fish (Betta sp/endens) to any nests, were recorded.

Third, exposure the nest almost exclusively, and this nest flxation to a male challenger led nest builders to fixate on and persisted through May 9.
