  • Gender, Ritual and Social Formation in West Papua
    Gender, ritual Pouwer Jan and social formation Gender, ritual in West Papua and social formation A configurational analysis comparing Kamoro and Asmat Gender,in West Papua ritual and social Gender, ritual and social formation in West Papua in West ritual and social formation Gender, This study, based on a lifelong involvement with New Guinea, compares the formation in West Papua culture of the Kamoro (18,000 people) with that of their eastern neighbours, the Asmat (40,000), both living on the south coast of West Papua, Indonesia. The comparison, showing substantial differences as well as striking similarities, contributes to a deeper understanding of both cultures. Part I looks at Kamoro society and culture through the window of its ritual cycle, framed by gender. Part II widens the view, offering in a comparative fashion a more detailed analysis of the socio-political and cosmo-mythological setting of the Kamoro and the Asmat rituals. These are closely linked with their social formations: matrilineally oriented for the Kamoro, patrilineally for the Asmat. Next is a systematic comparison of the rituals. Kamoro culture revolves around cosmological connections, ritual and play, whereas the Asmat central focus is on warfare and headhunting. Because of this difference in cultural orientation, similar, even identical, ritual acts and myths differ in meaning. The comparison includes a cross-cultural, structural analysis of relevant myths. This publication is of interest to scholars and students in Oceanic studies and those drawn to the comparative study of cultures. Jan Pouwer (1924) started his career as a government anthropologist in West New Guinea in the 1950s and 1960s, with periods of intensive fieldwork, in particular among the Kamoro.

  • Exploring Material Culture Distributions in the Upper Sepik and Central New Guinea
    Gender, mobility and population history: exploring material culture distributions in the Upper Sepik and Central New Guinea by Andrew Fyfe, BA (Hons) Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in The Discipline of Geographical and Environmental Studies The University of Adelaide November 2008 …..These practices, then, and others which I will speak of later, were borrowed by the Greeks from Egypt. This is not the case, however, with the Greek custom of making images of Hermes with the phallus erect; it was the Athenians who took this from the Pelasgians, and from the Athenians the custom spread to the rest of Greece. For just at the time when the Athenians were assuming Hellenic nationality, the Pelasgians joined them, and thus first came to be regarded as Greeks. Anyone will know what I mean if he is familiar with the mysteries of the Cabiri-rites which the men of Samothrace learned from the Pelasgians, who lived in that island before they moved to Attica, and communicated the mysteries to the Athenians. This will show that the Athenians were the first Greeks to make statues of Hermes with the erect phallus, and that they learned the practice from the Pelasgians…… Herodotus c.430 BC ii Table of contents Acknowledgements vii List of figures viii List of tables xi List of Appendices xii Abstract xiv Declaration xvi Section One 1.

(Version: Saturday, 25 June 2011) 1 1. Introduction 1.1 Background The Rhadinocentrus ornatus (Ornate Sunfish, soft spined sunfish, or Ornate Rainbowfish) is a freshwater rainbowfish from the Family Melanotaeniidae. This Melanotaeniidae family of fish is only found in Australia and New Guinea. It’s a small, mainly insectivorous species, the largest individuals reaching a maximum length of approximately 80mm (Warburton and Chapman, 2007). The Rhadinocentrus ornatus (R. ornatus) is said to be a small, obligate freshwater fish species restricted to the coastal wallum habitat of eastern Australia (Hancox et al, 2010), where waters are slow flowing and acidic, and submerged and emergent vegetation is plentiful (Warburton and Chapman, 2007). However, Wildlife Queensland has found this species utilising other habitat types, such as gallery rainforest along Tingalpa Creek West Mt Cotton, a finding supported by BCC (2010). Good populations of R.ornatus were particularly found in clear slow – medium flowing streams supporting no aquatic or emergent vegetation located within gallery rainforest. The species was particularly common in 12.3.1 Gallery rainforest (notophyll vine forest) on alluvial plains (Endangered) within a landscape comprised of 12.11.5 Open forest complex with Corymbia citriodora, Eucalyptus siderophloia, E. major on metamorphics ± interbedded volcanics

Hatching success of rainbowfish eggs following exposure to air Lois Oulton, Penelope Carbia, and Culum Brown Macquarie University KEYWORDS egg desiccation, Lake Eacham, Melanotaenia, translocation ABSTRACT Translocation of fishes within and between drainage basins is widely recognised as a threatening process to Australian native fishes. While many translocations are deliberate, for example for fisheries enhancement, it is possible that translocation can occur naturally. In the Wet Tropic region of Australia, the widespread eastern rainbowfish, Melanotaenia splendida, has begun to colonise the Atherton tablelands. This is of particular concern because the area is home to several endangered endemic species such as the Lake Eacham rainbowfish, M. eachamensis, and its allies. It is likely that some of the translocations have occurred through the use of this species as bait, but the recent invasion of Lake Eacham may have occurred naturally via the movement of eggs between nearby streams running into Lake Tinaroo.

  • Reproduction, Growth, Survival and Vertebra Abnormalities Inheritance of Hybrid Balloon and Normal Red Rainbowfish (Glossolepis
    Reproduction, growth, survival and vertebra abnormalities inheritance of hybrid balloon and normal red rainbowfish (Glossolepis incisus) Tutik Kadarini, Muhamad Yamin, Siti Z. Musthofa Research Institute for Ornamental Fish, Jl. Perikanan no. 13, Pancoran Mas, Depok, 16436, West Java, Indonesia. Corresponding author: T. Kadarini, [email protected] Abstract. The research of the vertebra abnormality inheritance in balloon red rainbowfish has never been conducted. The objectives of the study are to determine inheritance pattern, reproduction, growth and survival rate of hybrid balloon red rainbowfish and normal rainbowfish. The research was conducted in Laboratory of Research Institute for Ornamental Fish Culture, Depok, West Java, Indonesia. The scope of this research included hybridization between balloon and normal red rainbowfish broodstock, spawning, egg incubation, larval rearing for 40 days and seed rearing for 5 months. The hybrids were carried out by three different crossing between e.g., (1) balloon red rainbowfish ♀ x balloon red rainbowfish ♂, (2) normal red rainbowfish ♀ x balloon red rainbowfish ♂, (3) balloon red rainbowfish ♀ x normal red rainbowfish ♂. Each treatment was done in three replications. The average total length of balloon red rainbowfish was 5.214±0.255 cm, while normal red rainbowfish was 7.520±0.773 cm. A pair of matured adult fish were spawned naturally in a glass container (40 cm X 20 cm X 50 cm) filled with water (to 25 cm height). The fish were fed by bloodworm and commercial pellets (35% protein). The eggs were removed and incubated in a plastic container filled with 5-10 liter of water. The eggs hatched between 5-7 days after fertilization at water temperature of 25-31oC.

Abadi, Ernawati, Saidin Sorong Polytechnic of Marine and Fisheries, St. Kapitan Pattimura, Suprau, Tanjungkasuari, Sorong, West Papua, Indonesia. Corresponding author: M. Sayuti, [email protected] Abstract. The aim of this study was to identify proximate, amino acid and fatty acid content of gabus Sentani or Sentani gudgeon (Oxyeleotris heterodon). The samples were taken from Lake Sentani, Jayapura, Indonesia. AOAC, LC-MS and GC-MAS were the standards used to test proximate, amino acid and fatty acid content, respectively. Findings showed that O. heterodon contained 11.7% of water, 21.83% of ashes, 59.59% of protein, 1.20% of fat, 12.0% of carbohydrate, and 17.85% of crude fiber. Concerning the essential amino acids the species contained 3.40% L-Lycine, 1.66% L-Leucine, 1.27% L- Arginine, and 1.02% L-Valine, while non-essential amino acids were 3.07% L-Glutamic Acid, 1.75% L- Aspartic acid, and 1.24% L-Alanine. Fatty acids of O. heterodon were C15:1 (cis-10) Fatty acid (55.93%), C18:0 Methyl ester (16.25%), C17:1 (cis-10) Methyl ester (8.5%) and C16:0 Methyl ester (7.75%). Based on the findings, it is suggested that O. heterodon has a high protein content and thus, may serve as alternative source of protein for human consumption. Key Words: proximate, amino acid, fatty acid, Oxyeleotris heterodon, nutrients. Introduction. Lake Sentani comprises of 30 species of freshwater fish; four of which are endemic to the lake.
