On behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) 1 Wildlife trade survey report 2017 – Executive summary In the frame of bachelor theses two students from Cologne University, Leonie Ebert and Max Lehmann, studied the wildlife trade in Khammouane province with special emphasis on wildlife originating from Hin Nam No NPA from 12/10 to 22/11/17. L. Ebert studied herpetofauna and M. Lehmann mammals. All known markets as well as food stalls on roadsides suspected to sell wildlife in the vicinity of Hin Nam No NPA and highways 12 &13 to and in Thakhek were visited to attain a complete picture of the wildlife trade in the area and find out about trade routes from Hin Nam No NPA. Special emphasis was put on the markets of Langkhang and Boualapha. In total 15 places were visited: Thakhek’s Lak 2 & Lak 3 and Nabo markets, Namdik, Ban Kok, Panam, Mahaxay, Langkang, Boualapha and both Gnommalath markets. Also a supermarket in Mahaxay and 3 road side food stalls were visited. Traded wildlife was found on 10 markets, 2 food stalls and supermarket. Also door-to door trade was observed. Herpetofauna In total 8 frog species and 7 reptile species were found. With approx. 2600 found specimens Hoplobatrachus rugulosus (Chinese edible frog) was the by far the most frequently encountered frog species, while Malayemys subtrijuga (Mekong snail-eating turtle) was the most frequently encountered reptile species (46 specimens). Other frog species found were Fejervarya limnocharis (Asian grass frog) (ca. 2000), Microhyla berdmorei (Large pygmy frog) (>> 1000), Hylarana nigrovittata (Sap-green stream frog) (ca. 600), Occidozyga martensii (Round-tongued floating frog) (ca. 500), Occidozyga lima (Green puddle frog) (ca. 70), Rana johnsi (John’s frog) (12), Odorrana morafkai (Morafkai’s frog). Besides Malayemys subtrijuga, other reptile species found were Heosemys grandis (Giant Asian pond turtle) (3 specimen), Ptyas korros (Indochinese rat snake) (6), Ophiophagus hannah (King Cobra) (3), Physignathus cocincinus (Chinese water dragon), Varanus salvator (Asian water monitor) (1), and V. nebulosus (Clouded monitor) (1). Both turtles and King Cobras are listed as “Vulnerable” by IUCN. Mammals Traded mammals were mainly Long-tailed giant rats (Leopoldamys sp.) (7 specimen), but among others also 3 Black giant squirrels (“Near Threatened”), a Bengal slow loris (Nycticebus bengalensis) (“Threatened”) and a Red-shanked douc langur (Pygathrix nemaeus) (“Vulnerable”) were found. Also an otter, a live leopard cat and a live juvenile macaque were encountered. 25.8% of all found mammal species are listed as at least “Near Threatened” in the IUCN Red List and are listed in Appendix 1 or 2 of CITES. According to the prime minister’s decree number 118/CCM, which regulates hunting rules and protection of wild animals in Laos, 51.6% of all found mammals are listed as endangered. Close to Hin Nam No NPA the percentage of mammals on the IUCN Red List and the CITES appendices as well as the decree 118/CCM rose to 42.9% and 57.1%, respectively. Langkhang and Boualapha were identified as hotspot for wildlife trade with Hin Nam No NPA named as the source of the animals. It seems that for many (bigger) animals traders start to avoid the public sale and hide the animals in locked refrigerators (seen in Boualapha) or circumvent the markets entirely by selling directly to the customers. Still many animals are sold publicly, with total lacking awareness of the traders and consumers, even though warning signs are in place at many markets. Also, local people seem to prefer the meat of wild animals to that of bred animals and are willing to pay a higher prices. ບົດລາຍງານການສໍາຫຼວດການຄ້າສັດປ່າປີ 2017 - ບົດສະຫຼຼຸບຫຍ 㛉 ໃນບົດທະຍານິພົນປະລິນຍາຕີີີີຂອງນັກຮຽນສອງທ່ານ ມາຈາກມະຫາວິທະຍາໄລ ໂຄໂລນ, ທ່ານ ນາງ ແລວໂອນີີ ເອເບີີຣທ ແລະ ທ່ານ ແມັກ ເລມານ ໄດ້ສຶກສາກ່ຽວກັບການຄ້າສັດປ່າໃນແຂວງຄໍາມ່ວນ ໂດຍເນັັ້ນສະເພາະສັດປ່າທີີີ່ມາຈາກປ່າສະຫງວນແຫ່ງ ຊາດຫີີນໜາມໜ 㛈 ເລີີີ່ມແຕ່ວັນທີີ 12/10 ຫາ 22/11/2017. ທ່ານ ນາງ ແລວໂອນີີ ເອເບີີຣທ ໄດ້ສຶກສາກ່ຽວກັບສັດເຄິີ່ງບົກ ເຄິີ່ງນໍ㛉າ ແລະ ທ່ານ ແມັກ ເລມານ ໄດ້ສຶກສາກ່ຽວກັບ ສັດລ້ຽງລູກດວ້ຍນໍ㛉ານົມທີີີ່ຄ້າຍຄືກັບມະນຸດ (ສັດຕະກຸນລິງ) ໄດ້ມີີການໄປສໍາຫຼວດຕະຫຼາດທັງໝົດທີີີ່ຮູ້ຈັກ ລວມທັງຮ້ານຂາຍອາຫານນ້ອຍຕາມແຄມທາງທີີີ່ສົງໄສວ່າມີີາການຊືັ້-ຂາຍສັດປ່າໃນ ເຂດບ ລິເວນໃກ້ຄຽງປ່າສະຫງວນແຫ່ງຊາດຫີີນໜາມໜ㛈 ແລະ ຕາມເສັັ້ນທາງເລກທີີ 12 ແລະ ເສັັ້ນທາງເລກທີີ 12 ແລະ ພາຍໃນ ຕົວເມືອງທ່າແຂກ ເພືີ່ອໃຫ້ໄດ້ຮູບພາບທີີີ່ສົມບູນຄົບຖວ້ນກ່ຽວກັບການຊືັ້-ຂາຍສັດປ່າພາຍໃນພືັ້ນທີີີ່ ແລະ ຫາຂ 㛉ມູນກ່ຽວກັບ ເສັັ້ນທາງການຄ້າສັດປ່າຈາກປ່າສະຫງວນແຫ່ງຊາດຫີີນໜາມໜ 㛈. ໂດຍເນັັ້ນສະເພາະແມ່ນສັດປ່າທີີີ່ວາງຂາຍຕາມຕະຫຼາດໃນເຂດ ກຸ່ມບ້ານລັງຄັງ ແລະ ເມືອງ ບົວລະພາ ເຊິີ່ງໄດ້ມີີການໄປສໍາຫຼວດທັງໝົດມີີ 15 ບ່ອນ: ຕະຫຼາດຫຼັກສອງ ແລະ ຫຼັກສາມ, ຕະຫຼາດ ນາໂບ, ຕະຫຼາດນໍ㛉າດິກ, ບ້ານ ກອກ, ຕະຫຼາດປ່າໜາມ, ຕະຫຼາດມະຫາໄຊ, ແລະ ຮ້ານຂາຍ 3 ບ່ອນຕາມເສັັ້ນທາງ. ການຊືັ້-ຂາຍ ສັດປ່າໄດ້ມີີຢູ່ໃນຕະຫຼາດຈໍານວນ 10 ບ່ອນ ແລະ ຮ້ານຕາມເສັັ້ນທາງ 2 ບ່ອນ. ນອກຈາກນັັ້ນ ກ 㛈ຍັງໄດ້ສັງເກດເຫັນການຊືັ້-ຂາຍ ສັດປ່າແບບສົງຈາກບ້ານຜູ້ຂາຍ ຫາ ບ້ານຜູ້ຊືັ້ອີີກດວ້ຍ. ສັດເຄິີ່ງບົກເຄິີ່ງນໍ㛉າ ສໍາຫຼວດເຫັນສາຍພັນກົບລວມທັງໝົດ 8 ຊະນິດ ແລະ ສາຍພັນສັດເລືອຄານທັງໝົດ 7 ຊະນິດ ເຊິີ່ງມີີເຫັນປະມານ 2600 ຕົວຢ່າງຂອງກົບສາຍພັນ Hoplobatrachus rugulosus (ກົບນາ) ທີີີ່ພົບເຫັນຫຼາຍທີີີ່ສຸດ ພ້ອມຍັງພົບເຫັນສັດເລືອຄານ ປະເພດເຕົາ Malayemys subtrijug (Mekong snail-eating turtle) ຫຼາຍອີີກ (46 ວຢ່າງ).ຕົ ສ່ວນສາຍພັນກົບ ຊະນິດອືີ່ນໆກ 㛈ໄດ້ພົບເຊັນດຽວກັນເຊັນວ່າ: Fejervarya limnocharis (Asian grass frog) (ca. 2000), Microhyla berdmorei (Large pygmy frog) (>> 1000), Hylarana nigrovittata (Sap-green stream frog) (ca. 600), Occidozyga martensii (Round-tongued floating frog) (ca. 500), Occidozyga lima (Green puddle frog) (ca. 70), Rana johnsi (John’s frog) (12), Odorrana morafkai (Morafkai’s frog). ນອກຈາກນັັ້ນ ເຕົາ Malayemys subtrijuga, ກ 㛈ຍັງໄດ້ພົບເຫັນຊະນິດພັນສັດເລືອຄານປະເພດອືີ່ນໆອີີກເຊັນວ່າ: ເຕົາ Heosemys grandis (Giant Asian pond turtle) (3 ຕົວຢ່າງ), ງູສິງ Ptyas korros (Indochinese rat snake) (6 ໂຕ), ງູເຫງົາ Ophiophagus hannah (King Cobra) (3 ໂຕ), ກະປອມ Physignathus cocincinus (Chinese water dragon), ແລນ Varanus salvator (Asian water monitor) (1 ໂຕ) ແລະ ແລນ V. nebulosus (Clouded monitor) (1 ໂຕ). ທັງເຕົາ ແລະ ງູເຫົງແມ່ນຂືັ້ນໃນບັນຊີີລາຍຊືີ່ຂອງອົງການ IUCN “ສັດເກືອບຢູ ໃນກຸ່ມສັດທີີີ່ໃກ້ສູນພັນ” ສັດທີີີ່ລ້ຽງລູກດວ້ຍນໍ㛉ານົມ ສັດທີີີ່ລ້ຽງລູກດວ້ຍນໍ㛉ານົມທີີີ່ໄດ້ມີີການຊືັ້-ຂາຍສ່ວນໃຫ່ຍແມ່ນໄດ້ພົບເຫັນສັດຈໍາພວກ ໜູ Long-tailed giant rats ຫຼື (Leopoldamys sp.)

A total of 20 frogs were purchased in a local market of Yangon and examined with naked eyes and the artificial digestion method after skin peeling in June 2018 and June 2019. Larvae of gnathos- tomes and Spirometra (= spargana) were detected in 15 (75.0%) and 15 (75.0%) frogs with average intensities of 10.5 and 6.3 larvae per infected frog, respectively. Gnathostome larvae were 2.75-3.80 (av. 3.30) mm long and 0.29-0.36 (0.33) mm wide. They had a characteristic head bulb with 4 rows of hooklets, a muscular long esophagus, and 2 pairs of cervi- cal sac.

Jirarach Kitana ([email protected]) Received: 10 November 2020; Accepted: 11 February 2021 ABSTRACT.– The rice field frog Hoplobatrachus rugulosus is widely distributed throughout the wetlands of Thailand. It is economically important and a potential experimental subject in many fields of research. To use its development as a biomarker, general information about normal morphological changes during metamorphosis is necessary. In this study, embryos and larvae of H. rugulosus were examined at every stage from fertilization until complete metamorphosis. Their developmental stages were identified using Gosner’s (1960) staging system and the result showed that all morphological characteristics of H. rugulosus were corresponded to those in Gosner’s system. This is the first study that report the period of embryonic and larval development at each stage of H. rugulosus. The embryonic phase occurred within 13-21 hours after fertilization, the hatchling phase continued within 36-44 hours after fertilization, the tadpole phase followed within 20-26 days post hatch, and the metamorph phase finished within 25-33 days post hatch. The rate of somatic development of H.

  • Aquatic Biodiversity in Rice-Based Ecosystems Studies and Reports from INDONESIA, LAO PDR and the PHILIPPINES
    AQU THE ASIA REGIONAL RICE INITIATIVE AQUACULTURE AND FISHERIES in Rice-Based Ecosystems A TIC BIODIVERSITY IN RICE-B AQUATIC BIODIVERSITY IN RICE-BASED ECOSYSTEMS STUDIES AND REPORTS FROM INDONESIA, LAO PDR AND THE PHILIPPINES Aquatic resources derived from rice fields and associated environments often contribute a large share of the animal protein and other nutrient intake of poor households, particularly in Southeast Asia. However, the importance of these aquatic resources in the food security of rural households is generally underestimated and undervalued because the local consumption or marketing usually prevents this production from entering official national statistics. This in turn means that policies and resource allocation decisions cannot adequately take into account the A important ecosystem services provided by the rice-associated aquatic biodiversity. To address SED ECOSYSTEMS this, studies on the availability and use of aquatic organisms in rice-based ecosystems as well as on the tradition and current practices of rice-fish farming have been conducted in Cambodia, China, Lao PDR and Viet Nam since 2001. In 2013, the approach was extended to Indonesia and the Philippines, and validated in Lao PDR, within the framework of the FAO Asia Regional Rice Initiative. Further, a small pilot project in Lao PDR developed improved methodologies for integrating work on the valuation of aquatic resources into local policy development processes. The full version of the studies, including more detailed tabulated information on the aquatic species, their use and tools to catch and collect them, is being published as an update of S the CD ROM on Aquatic Biodiversity in Rice-based Ecosystems published by FAO in 2005 (ISBN TUDIE 92-5-105363-4).

  • An Investigation of Sudden Death in Farmed Infant Siamese Crocodiles During Winter and Spring in Hainan, China

Res., AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH COMMUNICATION CENTRE Print ISSN:0367-6722 / Online ISSN:0976-0555 www.arccjournals.com/www.ijaronline.in An investigation of sudden death in farmed infant Siamese crocodiles during winter and spring in Hainan, China Guiying Guo1, Jiahao Jiang1, Nuo Yang1, Peng Wang3, Liling Zhang4, Ying Wang1, Jifeng Zeng2* and Jiping Zheng1* Department of Biotechnology, Hainan University, Haikou 570228, China. Received: 12-04-2016 Accepted: 17-09-2016 DOI:10.18805/ijar.v0iOF.6999 ABSTRACT Sudden deaths without any specific clinical sign occurred among one year old young ones on Siamese crocodile (Crocodylus siamensis) farms in Hainan province, China, during winter and spring in 2012 - 2013. The autopsy showed that the internal organs seemed normal except full of clear ascites in abdominal cavity. There were total six bacterial species isolated, Edwardsiella tarda, Proteus penneri, Proteus vulgaris, Enterobacter asburiae, Citrobacter freundii and Micrococcus luteus from either the heart bloods or the spleens and livers. The virulence of isolated strains was tested by intraperitoneal inoculation in female Chinese edible frogs (Rana rugulosa or Hoplobatrachus rugulosus). The six-day mortality revealed that E. tarda was the most pathogenic, whereas P. penneri and E. asburiae exhibited no infection at all, and the rest demonstrated similar inconspicuous toxicity. All these findings suggest that E. tarda would be the principal suspect causing death of Siamese crocodile. The sensitivities of the E. tarda isolates were tested against 20 kinds of antimicrobial drugs. The results showed that ceftazidime, norfloxacin and amikacin were highly sensitive to the isolates of E.tarda.
