Froehlicha, ,1, Rebecca R. Gentryb,2, Benjamin S. Halperna,b,c,1 a University of California, Santa Barbara, National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis, Santa Barbara, CA, USA b University of California, Santa Barbara, Bren School of Environmental Science and Management, Santa Barbara, CA, USA c Imperial College London, Silwood Park Campus, Ascot, UK ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: In the 21st century, aquaculture is generally characterized as a foe to conservation efforts. Yet, much has Conservation changed in the two seemingly disparate practices over the last two decades, motivating an updated evaluation of Aquaculture the scientific evidence for how aquaculture currently impacts conservation, as well as prospects for further Ecosystem services alignment and research. Here we present a new perspective on conservation aquaculture, which we redefine as Recovery “the use of human cultivation of an aquatic organism for the planned management and protection of a natural Restoration resource.” Looking across scales of conservation aquaculture that include single species to ecosystem level benefits (and limitations), we highlight ways aquaculture has historically, and is currently being integrated into conservation (e.g., habitat restoration of oyster beds) and areas that could be improved for the protection of critical species and habitats (e.g., aquarium trade of coral reef species). With a more strategic focus, there appears to be notable conservation aquaculture potential via the cultivation of species for harvest that could provide wild harvest alleviation through replacement or supplement – particularly for over-exploited species – and/or ecosystem services, such as improved water quality and reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

  • Freshwater Fishes of Southeast Asia: Potential for the Aquarium
    Aquarium Sciences and Conservation, 1, 79±90 (1997) Freshwater ®shes of Southeast Asia: potential for the aquarium ®sh trade and conservation issues Peter K.L. Ngà and H.H. Tan School of Biological Sciences, National University of Singapore, Singapore 119260, Republic of Singapore Southeast Asia is an area rich in biodiversity, with a high degree of endemism in both ¯ora and fauna. Many freshwater ®sh species have been exploited for the ornamental ®sh trade. As the population in South East Asia increases, vast tracts of forests are cleared for agricultural, industrial and urbanization purposes. To conserve and sustainably exploit the wild ®sh population, measures should be adopted to protect this natural resource. Already, several ornamental species have been severely overexploited, e.g. bala shark (Balantiocheilos melanopterus), pygmy loach (Botia sidthimunki) and arowana (Scleropages formosus), but the extirpation of local populations occurs for many reasons, including deforestation, and not just because of ®shing for the trade. There are also still many species that have great ornamental ®sh potential. Wild ®sh species have also been successfully bred in captivity and conserved, e.g. tiger barb (Puntius tetrazona), bala shark, pygmy loach and arowana. Other methods of conservation include public education, leaving pristine forests intact and reforestation. The aquarium trade of the bala shark, harlequin rasbora (Rasbora heteromorpha), clown loach (Botia macracanthus), arowana and saw®sh (Pristis microdon) is discussed. KEYWORDS: Freshwater ®shes, Southeast Asia, aquarium ®sh, conservation, biodiversity INTRODUCTION Southeast Asia is a conglomerate of continental landmasses and numerous islands, all of which lie within the equatorial belt. The region composed of the countries of Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei and the Philippines enjoys year- round warmth, high humidity and light, which has resulted in an environment that is extremely diverse and varied in habitats (Whitmore, 1986).

    OCCASIONAL PAPERS OF THE MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN ANN ARBOR.MICHIGAN THE CYPRINID DERMOSPHENOTIC AND THE SUBFAMILY RASBORINAE The Cyprinidac, the largest family of fishes, do not lend themselves readily to subfamily classification (Sagemehl, 1891; Regan, 1911 ; Ramaswami, 195513). Nevertheless, it is desirable to divide the family in some way, if only to facilitate investiga- tion. Since Gunther's (1868) basic review of the cyprinids the emphasis in classification has shifted from divisions that are rcadily differentiable to groupings intended to be more nearly phylogenetic. In the course of this change a subfamily classifica- tion has gradually been evolved. Among the most notable contributions to the development of present subfamily concepts are those of Berg (1912), Nikolsky (1954), and Banarescu (e-g. 1968a). The present paper is an attempt to clarify the nature and relationships of one cyprinid subfamily-the Rasborinae. (The group was termed Danioinae by Banarescu, 1968a. Nomen- claturally, Rasborina and Danionina were first used as "family group" names by Giinther; to my knowledge the first authors to include both Rasbora and Danio in a single subfamily with a name bascd on one of these genera were Weber and de Beaufort, 1916, who used Rasborinae.) In many cyprinids, as in most characins, the infraorbital bones form an interconnected series of laminar plates around the lower border of the eye, from the lacrimal in front to the dermo- sphenotic postcrodorsally. This series bears the infraorbital sensory canal, which is usually continued into the cranium above the dcrmosphenotic. The infraorbital chain of laminar plates is generally anchored in position relative to the skull anteriorly and 2 Gosline OCC.

  • Diversity and Risk Patterns of Freshwater Megafauna: a Global Perspective
    Diversity and risk patterns of freshwater megafauna: A global perspective Inaugural-Dissertation to obtain the academic degree Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in River Science Submitted to the Department of Biology, Chemistry and Pharmacy of Freie Universität Berlin By FENGZHI HE 2019 This thesis work was conducted between October 2015 and April 2019, under the supervision of Dr. Sonja C. Jähnig (Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries), Jun.-Prof. Dr. Christiane Zarfl (Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen), Dr. Alex Henshaw (Queen Mary University of London) and Prof. Dr. Klement Tockner (Freie Universität Berlin and Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries). The work was carried out at Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries, Germany, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany and Queen Mary University of London, UK. 1st Reviewer: Dr. Sonja C. Jähnig 2nd Reviewer: Prof. Dr. Klement Tockner Date of defense: 27.06. 2019 The SMART Joint Doctorate Programme Research for this thesis was conducted with the support of the Erasmus Mundus Programme, within the framework of the Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctorate (EMJD) SMART (Science for MAnagement of Rivers and their Tidal systems). EMJDs aim to foster cooperation between higher education institutions and academic staff in Europe and third countries with a view to creating centres of excellence and providing a highly skilled 21st century workforce enabled to lead social, cultural and economic developments. All EMJDs involve mandatory mobility between the universities in the consortia and lead to the award of recognised joint, double or multiple degrees. The SMART programme represents a collaboration among the University of Trento, Queen Mary University of London and Freie Universität Berlin.

And this was suggested as one of the earliest records for fossil cyprinids. Unfortunately, this specimen is poorly preserved and reveals no more morphological information than its serrated last unbranched dorsal and anal fin rays. Recently, some new specimens were unearthed from the same locality, where C. maomingensis was discovered. In addition to the serrated dorsal and anal fin rays, these new materials also show that the pattern and shape of their pharyngeal teeth obviously differ from that of Cyprinus but resemble that of Procypris. However, its number of the branched dorsal fin rays and number of vertebrae are much less than that in Procypris.
