MF12306 Supplementary Data 10.1071/MF12306_AC ©CSIRO 2013 Supplementary Material: Marine and Freshwater Research 64 (9), 775–791 Supplementary Material A review of on-ground recovery actions for threatened freshwater fish in Australia Mark Lintermans Institute for Applied Ecology, University of Canberra, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia. Email: [email protected] Table S1. Preamble and fields included in the survey of practitioners The present survey covers on-ground actions specifically intended to recover threatened freshwater fish. It does not include general research projects aiming to collect or improve knowledge of the species ecology or interactions. Where a research activity is specifically conducted to directly improve or inform an on-ground recovery activity, then it should be included. An example is the development of a population model for Macquarie perch to directly inform a translocation program. With its focus on on-ground activities, the survey does not cover planning or coordination documents or policies (such as e.g. the preparation of recovery plans, stocking or translocation policies) 1. Threatened species or ecological community targeted: species can be threatened at either State or national level. Can be single, or multiple threatened species, but this compilation is not intended to cover general fish-rehabilitation activities that might benefit threatened species. 2. State recovery activity occurred in : (e.g. NSW, WA). 3. River Basin activity occurred in : use real catchments (e.g. Moonie River) not AWRC Basins. 4. Stream/wetland activity occurred in : i.e. give creek, river, lake or wetland name. 5. Year recovery action commenced : this data trawl is focussed on actions from 1990 onwards (but if you want to put in some earlier activities that’s fine). 6. Year recovery action (excluding monitoring) ceased : this end date is for the end of the ‘works’, not for subsequent monitoring programs. 7. Type of recovery action : (e.g. stocking, translocation, rescue, habitat enhancement); this is not an exhaustive list, so feel free to add what you want to. 8. Activity conducted by? : (e.g. government agency, water authority, community group, private individual). 9. Quantity involved : (e.g. no of individuals stocked or translocated, km of stream rehabilitated); can be a combination of, please specify. 10. Trigger for activity : (e.g. recovery plan action, emergency response: what actually kicked the activity off? (e.g. personal initiative, recovery plan identified the need, bushfire or drought response). 11. If emergency response was trigger, list emergency type : (e.g. bushfire, drought, flood, chemical spill). 12. If emergency response, was it an in situ or ex situ response? : (e.g. the primary focus was on recovering the species in its natural habitat, or outside its natural habitat); all translocations should be considered ex situ , even if translocation site was within the species normal distributional range. 13. Is/was there a monitoring program to measure success? : (yes/no). 14. How many years was monitoring conducted for? 15. Were there pre-established goals for the recovery action? : (yes/no). 16. If yes to previous column, what were the goal(s)? : (e.g. rescue individuals, establish a breeding colony, establish self- sustaining wild population, enhance population size). 17. Were the goals achieved? (yes/no/partially): if partially state which were and were not achieved. 18. Have the results or rationale/procedure for the activity been published? : (yes/no). Page 1 of 7 19. If published, where? (grey literature/journal/other): grey literature means government or consultancy report, other includes magazines, popular media, conference abstract (please specify). 20. How was the project resourced? (list categories of major and minor resource providers; e.g. major: government agency, minor: community group). 21. Were adequate resources available/provided for the activity itself?: (yes, no, marginal); marginal means extent or quality of recovery actions was hampered by available resources, yes means all was good. 22. Were adequate resources provided for monitoring/evaluation?: (yes, no, marginal); marginal means extent (spatial and temporal), intensity, or techniques was suboptimal). 23. Does the species have a recovery plan?: (if yes, state whether national, State, or non-statutory). 24. Contact person for further details: name, email. Page 2 of 7 Table S2.

Box 56, Dunedin 9054, New Zealand; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +47-481-37-867 Abstract: Free-living species often receive greater conservation attention than the parasites they support, with parasite conservation often being hindered by a lack of parasite biodiversity knowl- edge. This study aimed to determine the current state of knowledge regarding parasites of the Southern Hemisphere freshwater fish family Galaxiidae, in order to identify knowledge gaps to focus future research attention. Specifically, we assessed how galaxiid–parasite knowledge differs among geographic regions in relation to research effort (i.e., number of studies or fish individuals examined, extent of tissue examination, taxonomic resolution), in addition to ecological traits known to influ- ence parasite richness. To date, ~50% of galaxiid species have been examined for parasites, though the majority of studies have focused on single parasite taxa rather than assessing the full diversity of macro- and microparasites. The highest number of parasites were observed from Argentinean galaxiids, and studies in all geographic regions were biased towards the highly abundant and most widely distributed galaxiid species, Galaxias maculatus.

  • Lamprey, Hagfish
    Agnatha - Lamprey, Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Super Class: Agnatha Hagfish Agnatha are jawless fish. Lampreys and hagfish are in this class. Members of the agnatha class are probably the earliest vertebrates. Scientists have found fossils of agnathan species from the late Cambrian Period that occurred 500 million years ago. Members of this class of fish don't have paired fins or a stomach. Adults and larvae have a notochord. A notochord is a flexible rod-like cord of cells that provides the main support for the body of an organism during its embryonic stage. A notochord is found in all chordates. Most agnathans have a skeleton made of cartilage and seven or more paired gill pockets. They have a light sensitive pineal eye. A pineal eye is a third eye in front of the pineal gland. Fertilization of eggs takes place outside the body. The lamprey looks like an eel, but it has a jawless sucking mouth that it attaches to a fish. It is a parasite and sucks tissue and fluids out of the fish it is attached to. The lamprey's mouth has a ring of cartilage that supports it and rows of horny teeth that it uses to latch on to a fish. Lampreys are found in temperate rivers and coastal seas and can range in size from 5 to 40 inches. Lampreys begin their lives as freshwater larvae. In the larval stage, lamprey usually are found on muddy river and lake bottoms where they filter feed on microorganisms. The larval stage can last as long as seven years! At the end of the larval state, the lamprey changes into an eel- like creature that swims and usually attaches itself to a fish.

ALLEN Australian Museum, Sydney, Australia Currently over 4000 species of fishes are known from Australia. An analysis ofdistribution patterns of 3800 species is presented. Over 20% of the species are endemic to Australia, with endemic species occuiring primarily in southern Australia. There is also a small component of the fauna which is found only in the southwestern Pacific (New Caledonia, Lord Howe Island, Norfolk Island and New Zealand). The majority of the other species are widely distributed in the western Pacific Ocean.

South Pacific Commission, Nouméa, New Caledonia The Oceanic Fisheries Programme of the South Pacific Commission is currently pursuing a research project on age and growth of two tropical tuna species, yellowfm tuna (Thunnus albacares) and bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus). The daily periodicity of microincrements forrned with the sagittal otoliths of these two spceies has been validated by oxytetracycline marking in previous studies. These validation studies have come from fishes within three regions of the Pacific (eastem, central and western tropical Pacific). Otolith microincrements are counted along transverse section with a light microscope.

    06_250317 part1-3.qxd 12/13/05 7:32 PM Page 15 Phylum Chordata Chordates are placed in the superphylum Deuterostomia. The possible rela- tionships of the chordates and deuterostomes to other metazoans are dis- cussed in Halanych (2004). He restricts the taxon of deuterostomes to the chordates and their proposed immediate sister group, a taxon comprising the hemichordates, echinoderms, and the wormlike Xenoturbella. The phylum Chordata has been used by most recent workers to encompass members of the subphyla Urochordata (tunicates or sea-squirts), Cephalochordata (lancelets), and Craniata (fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals). The Cephalochordata and Craniata form a mono- phyletic group (e.g., Cameron et al., 2000; Halanych, 2004). Much disagree- ment exists concerning the interrelationships and classification of the Chordata, and the inclusion of the urochordates as sister to the cephalochor- dates and craniates is not as broadly held as the sister-group relationship of cephalochordates and craniates (Halanych, 2004). Many excitingCOPYRIGHTED fossil finds in recent years MATERIAL reveal what the first fishes may have looked like, and these finds push the fossil record of fishes back into the early Cambrian, far further back than previously known. There is still much difference of opinion on the phylogenetic position of these new Cambrian species, and many new discoveries and changes in early fish systematics may be expected over the next decade. As noted by Halanych (2004), D.-G. (D.) Shu and collaborators have discovered fossil ascidians (e.g., Cheungkongella), cephalochordate-like yunnanozoans (Haikouella and Yunnanozoon), and jaw- less craniates (Myllokunmingia, and its junior synonym Haikouichthys) over the 15 06_250317 part1-3.qxd 12/13/05 7:32 PM Page 16 16 Fishes of the World last few years that push the origins of these three major taxa at least into the Lower Cambrian (approximately 530–540 million years ago).
