Age and growth of Capoeta erhani (Actinopterygii: Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae) from the Menzelet Reservoir, Turkey. Acta Ichthyol. Piscat. 44 (2): 105–110 . Background. Capoeta erhani Turan, Kottelat et Ekmekçi, 2008 has an economic importance in commercial and recreational fisheries in Turkey. Knowledge of the biology of this species is very scarce. Despite the importance of this species, no research on the population dynamics such as age and growth rates has been conducted. The aim of this study was to determine the age, growth rate, and the relations between the fish size and the otolith size for C. erhani from the Menzelet Reservoir, Turkey . Materials and methods. This study was carried out seasonally in the Menzelet Reservoir, between January and December 2012. Samples were collected using gill nets with mesh sizes ranging from 18 to 30 mm . Results. A total of 134 otoliths obtained from Capoeta erhani that ranged from 15 to 33.8 cm TL were used in the analyses. -

Original Research Article
1 Original Research Article 2 HAEMATOLOGICAL AND HISTOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF JUVENILES OF 3 Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus IN OGBESE RIVER, ONDO STATE, NIGERIA 4 5 ABSTRACT 6 Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus catfish is a fish of economic importance in sub-sahara Africa. In 7 Ogbese town, and its environs, it constitutes a means of income and food for fisherfolks and 8 community members. Hence, this study was undertaken to assess health status of Chrysichthys 9 nigrodigitatus using heamatology and histological assessment of the fish specie due to the 10 anthropogenic activities that takes place around the river body. A total 120 live fish samples of 11 Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus were collected by the assistance of fisherfolks using fish cage at 12 Ogbese River from May to August, 2018. Some water parameters measurements were taken: 13 temperature, pH, DO, Turbidity and Conductivity. Morphometric measurement: Weight (g) and 14 length (cm) of fish were taken. Heamatoloty and histology of fish gills, liver and intestine were 15 determined. Mean water temperature (27.70±0.18oC), pH (7.36±0.22), DO (6.98±0.15 mg/l), 16 Turbidity (78.50±13.53 NTU) and Conductivity (148.35±27.98) of the river determined 17 respectively. Mean body weight of fish was 148.15 ± 36.53 g, and mean length was 25.64 ± 2.86 18 cm. The of the fish specie were examined to assess the architecture of the organs. result of 19 haematology studies of C. nigrodigitatus revealed high values in the parameters measured. Red 20 Blood Cell was higher than the White Blood Cell with mean value of (225.63±10.45 103/mm3) 21 while Eosinophils recorded lowest parameters with mean value of (1.75 ±0.52 %). -
Phylogenetic Relationships of Freshwater Fishes of the Genus Capoeta (Actinopterygii, Cyprinidae) in Iran

Email: [email protected] General Mixed Yule- Coalescent (GMYC) and Poisson Tree Process (PTP) as well as haplotype network analyses. Using the BEAST program, we also examined temporal divergence patterns of Capoeta. The monophyly of the genus and the existence of three previously described main clades (Mesopotamian, Anatolian- Iranian, and Aralo- Caspian) were confirmed. However, the phylogeny proposed novel taxonomic findings within Capoeta. Results of GMYC, bPTP, and phylogenetic analyses were similar and suggested that species diversity in Iran is currently underestimated. At least four can- didate species, Capoeta sp4, Capoeta sp5, Capoeta sp6, and Capoeta sp7, are awaiting description. Capoeta capoeta comprises a species complex with distinct genetic line- ages. The divergence times of the three main Capoeta clades are estimated to have occurred around 15.6–12.4 Mya, consistent with a Mio- Pleistocene origin of the di- versity of Capoeta in Iran. The changes in Caspian Sea levels associated with climate fluctuations and geomorphological events such as the uplift of the Zagros and Alborz Mountains may account for the complex speciation patterns in Capoeta in Iran. -

Corresponding author: *E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The genus Capoeta in Iran is highly diversified with 14 species and is one of the most important freshwater fauna components of the country. Central Iran is a region with high number of endemism in other freshwater fish species, though the present species was recognized as C. aculeata (Valenciennes, 1844), widely distributed within Kavir and Namak basins. However previous phylogenetic and phylogeographic studies found that populations of Nam River, a tributary of the Hableh River in central Iran are different from the other species. In this study, the mentioned population is described as a new species based on morphologic and genetic characters. Keywords: Inland freshwater of Iran, Nam River, Algae-scraping cyprinid, Capoeta.

Zander (Sander Lucioperca) ERSS
Zander (Sander lucioperca) Ecological Risk Screening Summary U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, September 2012 Revised, April 2019 Web Version, 8/27/2019 Photo: Akos Harka. Licensed under Creative Commons BY. Available: https://www.fishbase.de/photos/UploadedBy.php?autoctr=12734&win=uploaded. (April 3, 2019). 1 Native Range and Status in the United States Native Range From Larsen and Berg (2014): “S. lucioperca occurs naturally in lakes and rivers of Middle and Eastern Europe from Elbe, Vistula, north from Danube up to the Aral Sea and the northernmost observations of native populations were recorded in Finland up to 64° N. S. lucioperca naturally inhabits Onega and Ladoga lakes, brackish bays and lagoons of the Baltic sea. The distribution range in the Baltic area is supposed to be equivalent to the range of the post-glacial Ancylus Lake, which during the period 9200-9000 BP had a water level 100-150 m above the present sealevel of the Baltic Sea (Salminen et al. 2011). The most southern populations are known from regions near the Caucasus, inhabiting brackish and saline waters of Caspian, Azov and Black Seas (Bukelskis et al., 1998). Historic evidence from 1700 and 1800 (two sources) suggests the existence of one natural population in Denmark, in Lake Haderslev Dam and the neighbouring brackish Haderslev Fiord on the east coast of the Jutland peninsula (Berg 2012).” From Froese and Pauly (2019a): “Occur in adjacent or contiguous drainage basins to Afghanistan; Amu Darya river [Coad 1981].” 1 Status in the United States From Fuller and Neilson (2019): “Although it was thought that zander stocked into a North Dakota lake did not survive (e.g., Anderson 1992), the capture of a fish in August 1999, and another 2+ year old fish in 2000 shows that at least some survived and reproduced. -

Çiçek, E-mail: [email protected] Received: 24. August 2015 / Accepted: 16. October 2015 / Available online: 20. November 2015 / Printed: December 2015 Abstract. The current status of the inland waters ichthyofauna of Turkey is revised, and an updated checklist of the freshwater fishes is presented. A total of 368 fish species live in the inland waters of Turkey. Among these, 3 species are globally extinct, 5 species are extinct in Turkey, 28 species are non-native and 153 species are considered as endemic to Turkey. We recognise pronounced species richness and a high degree of endemism of the Turkish ichthyofauna (41.58%). Orders with the largest numbers of species in the ichthyofauna of Turkey are the Cypriniformes 247 species), Perciformes (43 species), Salmoniformes (21 species), Cyprinodontiformes (15 species), Siluriformes (10 species), Acipenseriformes (8 species) and Clupeiformes (8 species). At the family level, the Cyprinidae has the greatest number of species (188 species; 51.1% of the total species), followed by the Nemacheilidae (39), Salmonidae (21 species), Cobitidae (20 species), Gobiidae (18 species) and Cyprinodontidea (14 species).
