    FLOODPLAIN RIVER FOOD WEBS IN THE LOWER MEKONG BASIN A Dissertation by CHOULY OU Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Kirk O. Winemiller Committee Members, Masami Fujiwara Thomas D. Olszewski Daniel L. Roelke Head of Department, Michael Masser December 2013 Major Subject: Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences Copyright 2013 Chouly Ou ABSTRACT The Mekong River is one of the world’s most important rivers in terms of its size, economic importance, cultural significance, productivity, and biodiversity. The Mekong River’s fisheries and biodiversity are threatened by major hydropower development and over-exploitation. Knowledge of river food web ecology is essential for management of the impacts created by anthropogenic activities on plant and animal populations and ecosystems. In the present study, I surveyed four tropical rivers in Cambodia within the Mekong River Basin. I examined the basal production sources supporting fish biomass in the four rivers during the dry and wet seasons and explored the relationship between trophic position and body size of fish at various taxonomic levels, among local species assemblages, and across trophic guilds. I used stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen to estimate fish trophic levels and the principal primary production sources supporting fishes. My study provides evidence that food web dynamics in tropical rivers undergo significant seasonal shifts and emphasizes that river food webs are altered by dams and flow regulation. Seston and benthic algae were the most important production sources supporting fish biomass during the dry season, and riparian macrophytes appeared to be the most important production source supporting fishes during the wet season.

  • Fish Price Monitoring in Kandal, Prey Veng and Takeo Provinces of Cambodia
    Fish Price Monitoring in Kandal, Prey Veng and Takeo Provinces of Cambodia by 1 1 2 Ker Naret , Sem Viryak and Don Griffiths 1. Fishery Officer, Department of Fisheries, and Counterpart of the MRC/DoF/Danida Fisheries Project in Cambodia 2. Chief Technical Advisor, MRC - Rural Extension for Aquaculture Development Project ABSTRACT Fish marketing data are vital for any aquaculture development project because it influences potential supply, demand and distribution channels of fish. The Rural Extension for Aquaculture Development (READ) Cambodian Sub-Component monitored fish prices eight times per month throughout 1999, in representative markets in Kandal, Prey Veng and Takeo provinces in Cambodia. A total of 90 fish dealers (30 per province) were also interviewed. Results showed that River Catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus), Snakeheads (Channa spp.) and Walking Catfish (Clarias spp.) were the major cultured fish by weight in all markets on sampling days. The quantities of cultured fish traded in Prey Veng markets was less than for Kandal and Takeo markets. In Kandal 38% of fish traded was cultured. Snakeheads (Channa spp.), Goonch (Bagarius bagarius), Climbing Perch (Anabas testudineus), Catfish (Mystus spp. and Clarias spp.), Silver Barb (Barbodes gonionotus) and Riel (Henicorhynchus spp.) were the major wild fish species found in each province. Wild fish prices were generally highest from June to August and lowest from December to February. Mackerel (Scomber spp.) was the only marine fish species in the markets of each province. There were greater quantities of Mackerel in Kandal and Takeo than in Prey Veng province, and Mackerel was available year round in Kandal market. The main fish supply channels were through Saang district in Kandal province; Angkor Borei, Bourei Cholsar and Kaoh Andaet districts in Takeo province, and Kampong Leav district in Prey Veng province.

E-mail: [email protected] The main phytogeographic regions within the eastern part of the Indochinese Peninsula are delimited on the basis of analysis of recent literature on geology, geomorphology and climatology of the region, as well as numerous recent literature information on phytogeography, flora and vegetation. The following six phytogeographic regions (at the rank of floristic province) are distinguished and outlined within eastern Indochina: Sikang-Yunnan Province, South Chinese Province, North Indochinese Province, Central Annamese Province, South Annamese Province and South Indochinese Province. Short descriptions of these floristic units are given along with analysis of their floristic relationships. Special floristic analysis and consideration are given to the Orchidaceae as the largest well-studied representative of the Indochinese flora. 1. Background The Socialist Republic of Vietnam, comprising the largest area in the eastern part of the Indochinese Peninsula, is situated along the southeastern margin of the Peninsula.

  • Evolution and Phylogenetic Application of the MC1R Gene in the Cobitoidea (Teleostei: Cypriniformes)
    ZOOLOGICAL RESEARCH Evolution and phylogenetic application of the MC1R gene in the Cobitoidea (Teleostei: Cypriniformes) Qiong-Ying TANG1,*, Li-Xia SHI1,2, Fei LIU1, Dan YU1, Huan-Zhang LIU1,* 1 The Key Laboratory of Aquatic Biodiversity and Conservation of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan 430072, China 2 University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION Fish of the superfamily Cobitoidea sensu stricto (namely loaches) exhibit extremely high diversity of The superfamily Cobitoidea is a group of small- to medium- color patterns, but so far little is known about their sized benthic fish, composed of approximately 28% of species evolutionary mechanism. Melanocortin 1 receptor of the order Cypriniformes, which is the largest group of gene (MC1R) plays an important role during the freshwater fish in the world (Nelson et al., 2016). Depending on synthesis of melanin and formation of animal body different authors, Cobitoidea includes variable families. Bohlen color patterns. In this study, we amplified and sequenced the partial MC1R gene for 44 loach & Šlechtová (2009) and Chen et al. (2009) congruently individuals representing 31 species of four families. recognized the genus Ellopostoma as a distinct new family Phylogenetic analyses yielded a topology congruent Ellopostomatidae, and proposed that Cobitoidea is composed with previous studies using multiple nuclear loci, of eight families (Catostomidae, Gyrinocheilidae, Botiidae, showing that each of the four families was Vaillantellidae, Cobitidae, Ellopostomatidae, Nemacheilidae and monophyletic with sister relationships of Botiidae+ Balitoridae). Kottelat (2012) raised genera Serpenticobitis and (Cobitidae+(Balitoridae+Nemacheilidae)).

It was extraordinarily well organized, totally substantive and obviously beneficial to the Burundian participants. The Cambodian host organizations were appropriately selected and well- prepared to contribute to the study tour objectives. In retrospect, Cambodia was an ideal choice for the study tour site. There are many similarities between the two countries, yet the contrasts enabled the Burundians to place their own society in a better context. Visits to the Genocide Museum and the Killing Fields were stark reminders to the Burundians of the atrocities that occurred in their own country during the 1993-1996 period.

Received: 21 December 2017; Accepted: 15 January 2018; Published: 22 January 2018 Abstract: The family Balsaminaceae, which consists of the economically important genus Impatiens and the monotypic genus Hydrocera, lacks a reported or published complete chloroplast genome sequence. Therefore, chloroplast genome sequences of the two sister genera are significant to give insight into the phylogenetic position and understanding the evolution of the Balsaminaceae family among the Ericales. In this study, complete chloroplast (cp) genomes of Impatiens pinfanensis and Hydrocera triflora were characterized and assembled using a high-throughput sequencing method. The complete cp genomes were found to possess the typical quadripartite structure of land plants chloroplast genomes with double-stranded molecules of 154,189 bp (Impatiens pinfanensis) and 152,238 bp (Hydrocera triflora) in length.
