FLOODPLAIN RIVER FOOD WEBS IN THE LOWER MEKONG BASIN A Dissertation by CHOULY OU Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Kirk O. Winemiller Committee Members, Masami Fujiwara Thomas D. Olszewski Daniel L. Roelke Head of Department, Michael Masser December 2013 Major Subject: Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences Copyright 2013 Chouly Ou ABSTRACT The Mekong River is one of the world’s most important rivers in terms of its size, economic importance, cultural significance, productivity, and biodiversity. The Mekong River’s fisheries and biodiversity are threatened by major hydropower development and over-exploitation. Knowledge of river food web ecology is essential for management of the impacts created by anthropogenic activities on plant and animal populations and ecosystems. In the present study, I surveyed four tropical rivers in Cambodia within the Mekong River Basin. I examined the basal production sources supporting fish biomass in the four rivers during the dry and wet seasons and explored the relationship between trophic position and body size of fish at various taxonomic levels, among local species assemblages, and across trophic guilds. I used stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen to estimate fish trophic levels and the principal primary production sources supporting fishes. My study provides evidence that food web dynamics in tropical rivers undergo significant seasonal shifts and emphasizes that river food webs are altered by dams and flow regulation. Seston and benthic algae were the most important production sources supporting fish biomass during the dry season, and riparian macrophytes appeared to be the most important production source supporting fishes during the wet season. -

RESEARCH ARTICLE a Large Scale Study of the Epidemiology and Risk
DOI:10.22034/APJCP.2017.18.10.2853 Epidemiology of Opisthorchis viverrini in Udon Thani RESEARCH ARTICLE A Large Scale Study of the Epidemiology and Risk Factors for the Carcinogenic Liver Fluke Opisthorchis viverrini in Udon Thani Province, Thailand Suksanti Prakobwong1,2*, Apiporn Suwannatrai3, Achara Sancomerang4, Suwit Chaipibool5, Ngampis Siriwechtumrong6 Abstract Opisthorchis viverrini infection and cholangiocarcinoma are serious problems in South East Asia. This study aimed to find the prevalence of opisthorchiasis in various hosts in Udon Thani Province. Total fecal samples were collected from 14,766 participants. The epidemiological data collected and analysed included prevalence and intensity of infection. Odds ratios (OR) were calculated to determine the associations between cross sectional data and to predict possible risk factors. The prevalence of O. viverrini infection in Udon Thani Province averaged 15.3% (eggs per gram (epg.) = 48.9 and range; 12-1,320), with differences between villages (range; 3.8%-79.8%). An age-dependence for infection was observed to increase from ages 25 to 50 years and then decrease for older participants. A univariate analysis identified risk parameters including age (p = 0.040; OR = 3.9 (95% CI = 1.2-7.5)), education (p<0.0001; OR = 7.3 (95% CI = 1.8-21.6)) and eating habits (p = 0.032; OR = 1.6 (95% CI = 0.5-3.7)). Interestingly, most participants were not aware of treatments such as praziquantel (p< 0.0001; OR = 3.5 (95% CI = 1.4-11.6)), had no history of parasitic treatment (p = 0.486; OR = 1.5 (95% CI = 0.5-3.5)) and had eaten raw fish (p = 0.04; OR = 7.4 (95% CI = 1.5-18.6)). -
Accumulation of Copper and Other Elements by the Apple Snail Pomacea Canaliculata
Accumulation of copper and other elements by the apple snail Pomacea canaliculata Silvia C. Peña Naga City Employees Housing Project, San Felipe, Naga City, Philippines. Email: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Heavy metal pollution is now prevalent in almost all aquatic ecosystems and will eventually affect human health. There is, then, a need to monitor the presence of these heavy metals. Studies have shown that Pomacea canaliculata is a potential biomonitor of heavy metals in freshwater ecosystems because of its ability to bioaccumulate a wide array of elements and because it is a better accumulator than some of the other organisms considered. Studies of bioaccumulation by P. canaliculata are reviewed. Additional keywords: Ampullariidae, Filopaludina martensi, fresh water, heavy metals, Ipomoea aquatica, Mollusca, Potamogeton crispus, sediment Introduction The increasing accumulation of heavy metals in the environment, especially in aquatic ecosystems, needs monitoring and this calls for a monitoring tool. Several studies have been done to assess the apple snail Pomacea canaliculata as a metal biomonitor in freshwater ecosystems. Pomacea canaliculata is an agricultural pest that has continued to spread despite numerous attempts to eliminate it or prevent its spread. Since it cannot be eliminated, is found in almost any freshwater ecosystem in many countries, is big enough to provide sufficient material (soft tissue) for analyses and because it is easy to handle, easy to collect, easy to culture, long lived, numerous, sedentary and can survive for a long time without food, it has the potential to be used widely as a heavy metal biomonitor. This contribution reviews studies of Pomacea canaliculata that have been done to assess its bioaccumulation of heavy metals. -
Employing Geographical Information Systems in Fisheries Management in the Mekong River: a Case Study of Lao PDR
Employing Geographical Information Systems in Fisheries Management in the Mekong River: a case study of Lao PDR Kaviphone Phouthavongs A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the Degree of Master of Science School of Geosciences University of Sydney June 2006 ABSTRACT The objective of this research is to employ Geographical Information Systems to fisheries management in the Mekong River Basin. The study uses artisanal fisheries practices in Khong district, Champasack province Lao PDR as a case study. The research focuses on integrating indigenous and scientific knowledge in fisheries management; how local communities use indigenous knowledge to access and manage their fish conservation zones; and the contribution of scientific knowledge to fishery co-management practices at village level. Specific attention is paid to how GIS can aid the integration of these two knowledge systems into a sustainable management system for fisheries resources. Fieldwork was conducted in three villages in the Khong district, Champasack province and Catch per Unit of Effort / hydro-acoustic data collected by the Living Aquatic Resources Research Centre was used to analyse and look at the differences and/or similarities between indigenous and scientific knowledge which can supplement each other and be used for small scale fisheries management. The results show that GIS has the potential not only for data storage and visualisation, but also as a tool to combine scientific and indigenous knowledge in digital maps. Integrating indigenous knowledge into a GIS framework can strengthen indigenous knowledge, from un processed data to information that scientists and decision-makers can easily access and use as a supplement to scientific knowledge in aquatic resource decision-making and planning across different levels. -

The objective of this study was to identify Thapariella anastomusa metacercariae in snails in Thailand based on morphological traits using a light (LM) and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). A total of 94 Filopaludina snails were collected and identified as 50 F. martensi mar- tensi and 44 F. doliaris. Metacercariae of T. anastomusa were recovered from the snails by the crushing method. The overall prevalence was 22.3% (21/94), and the mean intensity was 17.0 per snail. The prevalence in F. martensi martensi was 24.0% (12/50) and F. doliaris 20.5% (9/44) with the mean intensity of 18.8 and 14.8 per snail, respectively. SEM re- vealed traits such as a concave ventral body and well-developed oral and ventral suckers. This study represents the first report of T. anastomusa in South East Asia. While LM and SEM observations provide novel insights into T. -

Seasonal Hydrology Shifts Production Sources Supporting Fishes in Rivers of the Lower Mekong Basin
1342 ARTICLE Seasonal hydrology shifts production sources supporting fishes in rivers of the Lower Mekong Basin Chouly Ou and Kirk O. Winemiller Abstract: Seasonal hydrology is assumed to be an important reason why the Lower Mekong Basin supports highly productive and biodiverse inland fisheries. We used C and N stable isotope ratios of tissue samples to estimate primary production sources supporting fish biomass in the Mekong and three large tributaries in Cambodia. We used a Bayesian mixing model to estimate relative contributions of four alternative production sources — seston, benthic algae, riparian grasses, and riparian macro- phytes. There was little seasonal variation in isotopic signatures of riparian plants, but benthic algae and seston showed large seasonal shifts in carbon ratios. Seston and benthic algae were the most important production sources supporting fish biomass overall during the dry season, and riparian vegetation was the most important source during the wet season. Sources contributed differentially to biomass of trophic and habitat guilds, especially during the dry season. A dam on the upper Sesan River has changed hydrology, channel geomorphology, and other factors and, compared with the other three rivers, its fish biomass appears to derive from algae to a greater extent. Résumé : L’hydrologie saisonnière est présumée être une importante raison expliquant le fait que le bassin du cours inférieur du fleuve Mékong supporte des pêches continentales très productives et d’une grande biodiversité. Nous avons utilisé les rapports d’isotopes stables du C et du N d’échantillons de tissus pour estimer les sources de production primaire qui supportent la biomasse de poissons dans le Mékong et trois grands affluents au Cambodge. -
