  • In the Great Artesian Basin, Australia
    Caridina thermophila, an Enigmatic and Endangered Freshwater Shrimp (Crustacea: Decapoda: Atyidae) in the Great Artesian Basin, Australia Satish C. Choy1 Abstract Only one species of freshwater shrimp, Caridina thermophila, has been recorded from the Great Artesian Basin (GAB) springs and associated wetlands in central Queensland. The species seems to be endemic to Queensland, has a restricted distribution and, whilst it is listed as Endangered in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, is not specifically protected under any Australian state or federal legislation. Although C. thermophila was first described from hot-water springs, it is now known to also inhabit much cooler waters, and hence its temperature tolerance range is quite broad. Apart from its general ecology and associated spring communities (many of which include rare and endangered endemic species), very little is known about the population dynamics and resilience of this species, particularly in relation to anthropogenic pressures and climate change. It is recom- mended that this species be specifically protected under national legislation, and a conservation plan be developed and implemented to ensure its long-term survival. Keywords: Great Artesian Basin, springs, wetland, shrimp, Caridina thermophila, endemic, endangered 1 [email protected] Introduction species that occur in the springs of the Great Artesian Caridina thermophila (Figure 1) was first described by Basin (Fensham et al., 2010). Its status has, however, Riek (1953) along with several other freshwater atyid been somewhat questionable and the species has not shrimps from Australia. All his C. thermo phila speci- been treated as uniquely as other endemic species (e.g. mens, including the types, were collected on 27 May Fensham & Fairfax, 2005; Rossini et al., 2018).

  • The Distribution of the Endangered Fish Edgbaston Goby, Chlamydogobius Squamigenus, and Recommendations for Management
    The Distribution of the Endangered Fish Edgbaston Goby, Chlamydogobius squamigenus, and Recommendations for Management Adam Kerezsy1 Abstract Surveys conducted in bore drains in the Aramac district of central-western Queensland found that species of both plants and animals endemic to Great Artesian Basin springs are capable of colonis- ing and surviving in these artificial environments. In particular, the discovery of an endangered fish, Edgbaston goby Chlamydogobius( squamigenus) in bore drains approximately 20 km from its native natural spring habitat suggests that spring-dependent species are likely to seek new habitats when migration pathways are open during flooding. Managing the declining populations of spring endemics, such as Edgbaston goby, could occur through maintaining populations in artificial springs or wetlands where the invasive eastern gambusia (Gambusia holbrooki), which is thought to competi- tively exclude small native fishes, can either be excluded or removed. Keywords: Edgbaston goby, bore drains, endangered species, Edgbaston springs, Great Artesian Basin springs 1 Adam Kerezsy ([email protected]), Dr Fish Contracting, Lake Cargelligo, NSW 2672, Australia Introduction commanded the majority of attention at Edgbaston Great Artesian Basin (GAB) springs are considered due to its heightened extinction risk (Kerezsy & the most ecologically important inland waters in Fensham, 2013; Radford et al., 2018).

  • Endangered Fish Species of the World–A Review
    AACL BIOFLUX Aquaculture, Aquarium, Conservation & Legislation International Journal of the Bioflux Society Endangered fish species of the world – a review 1,2Radu Hărșan, 1,3,4I. Valentin Petrescu-Mag 1 Department of Aquaculture, Faculty of Animal Husbandry, University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Cluj-Napoca, Romania, EU; 2 Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Cluj-Napoca, Romania, EU; 3 SC Bioflux SRL, Cluj-Napoca, Romania, EU; 4 SC 3M AGC SRL, Cluj- Napoca, Romania, EU. Corresponding author: R. Hărșan, [email protected] Abstract. The present paper summarizes a large part of the endangered and critically endangered fish species of the world. The list was constructed using the comprehensive IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (available in December 2008) and the well elaborated FISHBASE (available on the official website, in 2008) for taxonomy and accepted scientific names of the species. To these two important sources, many scientific papers and communications were added when recent and useful reports were found. However, there is a long way from the fish species list of this review to the world’s complete list of endangered and critically endangered fish species. In our list were not included subspecies, populations, varieties, or species having a debatable taxonomic status. The scope of this review was not to inventorize all the fishes included in these two categories, but to make possible drawing some general conclusions regarding most important possible causes of fish species extinction and to make suggestions concerning fish species conservation possibilities through aquaculture. Key Words: endangered fish species, critically endangered, causes, population trend.

  • ABSTRACTS 29 Reptile Ecology I, Highland A, Sunday 15 July 2018
    THE JOINT MEETING OF ASIH SSAR HL lcHTHYOLOGISTS & HERPETOLOGISTS ROCHESTER, NEW YORK 2018 ABSTRACTS 29 Reptile Ecology I, Highland A, Sunday 15 July 2018 Curtis Abney, Glenn Tattersall and Anne Yagi Brock University, St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada Thermal Preference and Habitat Selection of Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis in a Southern Ontario Peatland Gartersnakes represent the most widespread reptile in North America. Despite occupying vastly different biogeoclimatic zones across their range, evidence suggests that the thermal preferenda (Tset) of gartersnakes has not diverged significantly between populations or different Thamnophis species. The reason behind gartersnake success could lie in their flexible thermoregulatory behaviours and habitat selection. We aimed to investigate this relationship by first identifying the Tset of a common gartersnake species (Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis) via a thermal gradient. We then used this Tset parameter as a baseline for calculating the thermal quality of an open, mixed, and forested habitat all used by the species. We measured the thermal profiles of these habitats by installing a series of temperature-recording analogues that mimicked the reflectance and morphology of living gartersnakes and recorded environmental temperatures as living snakes experience them. Lastly, we used coverboards to survey the current habitat usage of T. s. sirtalis. Of the three habitats, we found that the open habitat offered the highest thermal quality throughout the snake’s active season. In contrast, we recorded the greatest number of snakes using the mixed habitat which had considerably lower thermal quality. Although the open habitat offered the greatest thermal quality, we regularly recorded temperatures exceeding the upper range of the animals’ thermal preference.

Threats to these special and north-western New South Wales. The GAB wetlands include: springs of Queensland are concentrated into eight “supergroups” (see Figure 1), with each supergroup • reduced habitat quality caused by made up of smaller spring-groups and spring- feral pigs, camels and domestic stock; complexes. Other names used for GAB spring wetlands include mud springs, mound springs, • introduced plant species water springs and boggomosses. (particularly ponded pastures); The majority of spring wetlands are located where the • overuse or misuse of groundwater; and aquifers are shallow or fractured by a fault and where water escapes to the surface. • inappropriate fire and grazing management. Mounds sometimes form around the vent of the spring. They occur from a build up of sub-soil, clay and/or precipitates including calcium carbonate brought up by the artesian water, sometimes combined with wind-blown material, or from an accumulation of peat that is derived from vegetation sustained by the spring. Artesian springs are often referred to as mound springs, however mounds are a rare landform in Queensland and the majority of springs are at ground level. The mounds can be vegetated or bare, and vary in size from 0.2–6m in height.

These rivers are characterised by extreme flow variability by virtue of their geographical locations in the semi-arid and arid areas of central Australia. In general, the fish communities from these areas are poorly known, especially those from the most remote catchments such as the Georgina and its tributaries. The first aim of this study was to more-accurately establish the distributional range of fish species throughout far western Queensland through extended spatial and temporal sampling of all major river systems from the Bulloo west to the Northern Territory border. Fish sampling commenced in September 2006 and continued in December 2006, January 2007, April 2007, August 2007 and November 2007 before concluding in March and April 2008.
