Kaygorodova et al. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. The study of leeches from Lake Gusinoe and its adjacent area offered us the possibility to determine species diversity. Asa result, an updated species list of the Gusinoe Hirudinea fauna (Annelida, Clitellata) has been compiled. There are two orders and three families of leeches in the Gusinoe area: order Rhynchobdellida (families Glossiphoniidae and Piscicolidae) and order Arhynchobdellida (family Erpobdellidae). In total, 6 leech species belonging to 6 genera have been identified. Of these, 3 taxa belonging to the family Glossiphoniidae (Alboglossiphonia heteroclita f. papillosa, Hemiclepsis marginata,andHelobdella stagnalis) and representatives of 3 unidentified species (Glossiphonia sp., Piscicola sp., and Erpobdella sp.) have been recorded. The checklist gives a contemporary overview of the species composition of leeches and information on their hosts or substrates.

Fork lengths and weights of Received : 08.01.2015 these samples varied between 11.5-24.3 cm and 22.80-259.00 g, respectively. Age Revised : 16.03.2015 estimates obtained from scales and vertebrae were compared to determine the most reliable bony structure for ageing. The precision analyses indicated that Accepted : 17.03.2015 scales were the most appropriate hard structures for determining the age of white Published : 20.04.2015 bream. Ages of all the specimens ranged from I to VI years and age group III was dominant. The parameters of the von Bertalanffy growth equations were -1 calculated as L∞ = 32.85 cm, W∞ = 707.76 g, k = 0.11 year and t0 = -2.64 year, and the growth performance index (Φ') value was computed as 2.074 for * CORRESPONDING AUTHOR combined sexes.

  • THE BIDGEE BULLETIN Quarterly Newsletter of the Murrumbidgee Monitoring Program
    M A R C H 2 0 2 0 I S S U E 3 THE BIDGEE BULLETIN Quarterly Newsletter of the Murrumbidgee Monitoring Program WATERING OUTCOMES Welcome to Issue 3 of The Bidgee Bulletin. The field monitoring season is now complete, with As in previous years Commonwealth environmental water the last of the four wetland surveys conducted is being used to support aquatic plants and animals in the over the last two weeks of March. In this issue Murrumbidgee Selected Area. This year environmental we review the highlights of the season and water was largely used to target floodplains and wetlands summarise the outcomes from Commonwealth to improve water quality, support populations of water environmental watering actions during the 2019- dependent plants and animals, maintain frog populations 20 water year. We also introduce our Chief and create breeding opportunities for threatened species Twitcher from the NSW DPIE, Dr Jennifer including the southern bell frog and Australasian bittern. Spencer. Continued dry conditions in Spring 2019 meant that The Bidgee Bulletin is a quarterly newsletter environmental water needed to be carefully managed and designed to provide updates on our progress as focused on high priority outcomes. These included we monitor the ecological outcomes of maintaining critical refuge habitats - Wagourah Lagoon, Commonwealth environmental water flows in the Yarradda Lagoon, Telephone Creek and Tala Creek. Murrumbidgee Selected Area. The 2019-2022 Maintenance of these wetland habitats is important for program builds on the previous five year native fish and turtles, and the Murrumbidgee refuge sites monitoring period (2014-2019) and uses many continue to support high native fish diversity with large of the same methods.

  • Notophthalmus Viridescens) by a New Species of Amphibiocystidium, a Genus of Fungus-Like Mesomycetozoan Parasites Not Previously Reported in North America
    203 Widespread infection of the Eastern red-spotted newt (Notophthalmus viridescens) by a new species of Amphibiocystidium, a genus of fungus-like mesomycetozoan parasites not previously reported in North America T.

Many of the pathogens recently implicated in amphibian mortality and morbidity have been fungal or members of a poorly understood group of fungus-like protists, the mesomycetozoans. One mesomycetozoan, Amphibiocystidium ranae, is known to infect several European amphibian species and was associated with a recent decline of frogs in Italy. Here we present the first report of an Amphibiocystidium sp. in a North American amphibian, the Eastern red-spotted newt (Notophthalmus viridescens), and characterize it as the new species A. viridescens in the order Dermocystida based on morphological, geographical and phylogenetic evidence. We also describe the widespread and seasonal distribution of this parasite in red-spotted newt populations and provide evidence of mortality due to infection.
