Reproductive Biology of Menidia Jordani (Atheriniformes: Atherinopsidae) in Xochimilco Lake, Mexico Reproductive biology of Menidia jordani (Atheriniformes: Atherinopsidae) in Xochimilco Lake, Mexico Yolanda Mónica Olvera-Blanco,* José Luis Gómez-Márquez,** Bertha Peña-Mendoza,** Ma. Teresa Gaspar-Dillanes*** and Carlos Pérez*** The reproductive biology of Menidia jordani (Woolman, 1894), a native fish of Mexico and one of the most important commercial fish species in Central Mexico for centuries, was analyzed. A monthly sampling bet- ween April 1995 and March 1996 was carried out. Sex ratio was 1.5:1 (female:male), determined by simple observation. Females were larger than males, the largest sizes being 7.2 cm for females and 6.3 cm for males. Standard length at first maturity was 4.8 cm for females and 5.5 cm for males. Monthly variations in gonadosomatic index (GSI), hepatosomatic index (HIS) and ovarian development stages showed that the spawning season occurred mainly from January to May. Best correlation values were between fecundity and length (r = 0.7383; p = 0.0003), compared to those found between fecundity and weight (r = 0.6132; p = 0.002). Fecundity ranged from 143 to 952 eggs per female; mean fecundity was 324 eggs. Key words: Mesa silverside, gonadosomatic index, gonadic maturity, sex ratio. Biología reproductiva de Menidia jordani (Atheriniformes: Atherinopsidae) en el Lago de Xochimilco, México Se analizó la biología reproductiva de Menidia jordani (Woolman, 1894), pez nativo de México, que por varios siglos ha sido una de las especies de peces comercialmente más importantes en el centro de México. Los muestreos se realizaron mensualmente de abril 1995 a marzo 1996. El sexo de los peces fue determi- nado macroscópicamente y la proporción de machos fue significativamente más baja que la de hembras, 1.5:1 (hembra:macho). Las hembras alcanzaron tallas más grandes (longitud patrón) que los machos, la mayor en hembras fue de 7.2 cm y 6.3 mm en machos. La primera madurez fue de 4.8 mm de longitud patrón en hembras y de 5.5 mm en machos. La variación mensual de los índices gonadosomático (IGS) y hepatosomático (IHS) y el desarrollo del ovario mostraron que el desove se realiza predominantemente de enero a mayo. El valor de correlación fecundidad-longitud fue más alto (r = 0.7383; p = 0.0003) que para fecundidad-peso (r = 0.6132; p = 0.002). La fecundidad varió de 143 a 952 huevos por hembra con una media de 324 huevos. Palabras clave: Charal, índice gonadosomático, madurez gonadal, proporción de sexos.

For an estimate of fecundity, ripe females (n = 294) were used, taking the total number of eggs contained in the gonads (Laevastu, 1971; Bagenal, 1978). The variation of fecundity with fish body length was estimated (Bagenal, 1978). Mean fecundity values were calculated according to Shoesmith (1990).

  • Trophic Interactions Among Sympatric Zooplanktivorous Fish Species in Volume Change Conditions in a Large, Shallow, Tropical Lake
    Neotropical Ichthyology, 9(1):169-176, 2011 Copyright © 2011 Sociedade Brasileira de Ictiologia Trophic interactions among sympatric zooplanktivorous fish species in volume change conditions in a large, shallow, tropical lake Rodrigo Moncayo-Estrada1, Owen T. Lind2 and Carlos Escalera-Gallardo1 Significant reductions in the water volume of shallow lakes impose a restriction on species segregation promoting more interactions in the trophic relationships. The diets of three closely related zooplanktivorous silversides belonging to the Atherinopsidae species flock of lake Chapala, Mexico, were analyzed at two sites (Chirostoma jordani, C. labarcae, and C. consocium). Diets were described in critical shallow (August 2000) and volume recovery conditions (August 2005). Diets included mainly cladocerans (Bosmina, Ceriodaphnia, and Daphnia) and copepods (Cyclops). A significant difference in diets was detected when comparing years (MRPP analysis, A = 0.22, p < 0.0001) and sites at different years (MRPP analysis, A = 0.17, p = 0.004). According to niche breadth mean values, species were classified as specialized and intermediate feeders. In shallow conditions, the small range of niche breadth (1.72 to 3.64) and high diet overlap values (D = 0.64, L = 8.62) indicated a high potential for interspecific exploitative interaction. When the lake volume recovered, an increase in the niche breadth range (1.04 to 4.96) and low niche overlap values (D = 0.53, L = 2.32) indicated a reduction of the species interaction. The Mann- Whitney U-test supported this pattern by showing a significant difference between years for niche overlap (p = 0.006). The increased interaction during the low volume suggests alternative segregation in life-history variations and other niche dimensions such as spatial or temporal distribution.

  • Les Bains-Douches Municipaux De La Ville De Paris
    Les bains-douches municipaux de la Ville de Paris I. Des bains publics aux bains-douches Aux XVIIIe et XIXe siècles, les bains publics de Paris sont encore majoritairement des lieux de plaisir et de divertissement raffinés1, réservés à une élite aristocratique, à l’image des pittoresques « bains chinois » construits en 1787 par Nicolas Lenoir sur le boulevard des Italiens. Cependant, l’industrialisation et l’urbanisation croissante de la capitale s’accompagnent d’un cortège de maux, promiscuité, insalubrité, propagation des épidémies - le choléra frappe la ville à plusieurs reprises dès 1832 – qui rendent nécessaire l’élaboration d’une véritable politique d’hygiène sociale en faveur des classes populaires. Cette dernière, bien étudiée par Fabienne Chevallier2, emprunte alors deux directions : une action visant à réglementer les conditions de l’habitat, avec la loi sur les logements insalubres (13 avril 1850) et un important effort de constructions, entrepris par un Etat-Providence en gestation. Dans ce domaine, comme dans celui des logements ouvriers3, Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte, influencé par son séjour d’exil en Angleterre, montre l’exemple. En 1849, le chimiste Jean- Baptiste Dumas, qu’il nomme Ministre du Commerce et de l’Agriculture, confie à une commission ministérielle la responsabilité d’établir un rapport sur les établissements de bains publics anglais gratuits ou à prix réduits. Il démontre la qualité des réalisations, au bénéfice de la classe ouvrière qui s’y rend « au moins une fois par semaine »4. Le 3 février 1851 est donc voté par l’Assemblée nationale un crédit extraordinaire de 600 000 francs pour encourager les communes à créer des établissements modèles de bains et de lavoirs publics gratuits ou à prix réduits, grâce à une subvention de l’Etat pouvant atteindre les deux tiers de leur financement.

Accepted 31-VII-2008. Abstract: the structural and ultrastructural features of gonads from endemic Mexican fish have received scarce attention. This study describes the histological and ultrastructural characteristics of the oocyte in Chirostoma humboldtianum. The ovary is asynchronic, and as such, most phases of oocyte development are found in the same ovary. The complete process of oogenesis was divided in five stages: oogonium and folliculogenesis, pri- mary growth, cortical alveoli and lipid inclusions, vitellogenesis and maturation. The presence of big filaments, which appear at the end of primary growth, induces some common follicular adaptation. During primary growth, abundant ribosomes, rough endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria are grouped in the cytoplasm. At the end of this stage, the Z1 layer of the chorion is developed, while microvilli start to be evident as well. In the corti- cal alveoli and lipid droplets phase, intense PAS positive vesicles, some of them containing nucleoid material, are observed in the peripheral cytoplasm and the lipid droplets take a more central position. In vitellogenesis, the proteic yolk accumulates in a centripetal way while the chorion is completely formed.

Impacts of a major Seine flood in the Ile-de-France region A historic reference: the great 100-year flood of 1910 While the possibility of a major flood of the Seine River may initially seem remote, it comes back regularly and arouses public attention as was the case during the spring of 2013 when floods took place upstream of the Seine River basin. Even though the flooding did not cause any major damage, it reopened the question of risk management and the region's vulnerability to flooding. The prospect of a historic event is a key concern for French risk management stakeholders. The 1910 flood was particularly destructive in the context of an era marked by industrial and technological progress. Such events illustrate the difficulties societies have in compromising between economic development and the management of increased vulnerability of society and multiple economic sectors.

  • Endangered Species
    FEATURE: ENDANGERED SPECIES Conservation Status of Imperiled North American Freshwater and Diadromous Fishes ABSTRACT: This is the third compilation of imperiled (i.e., endangered, threatened, vulnerable) plus extinct freshwater and diadromous fishes of North America prepared by the American Fisheries Society’s Endangered Species Committee. Since the last revision in 1989, imperilment of inland fishes has increased substantially. This list includes 700 extant taxa representing 133 genera and 36 families, a 92% increase over the 364 listed in 1989. The increase reflects the addition of distinct populations, previously non-imperiled fishes, and recently described or discovered taxa. Approximately 39% of described fish species of the continent are imperiled. There are 230 vulnerable, 190 threatened, and 280 endangered extant taxa, and 61 taxa presumed extinct or extirpated from nature. Of those that were imperiled in 1989, most (89%) are the same or worse in conservation status; only 6% have improved in status, and 5% were delisted for various reasons. Habitat degradation and nonindigenous species are the main threats to at-risk fishes, many of which are restricted to small ranges. Documenting the diversity and status of rare fishes is a critical step in identifying and implementing appropriate actions necessary for their protection and management. Howard L.

  • Daniel H. Burnham and Chicago's Parks
    Daniel H. Burnham and Chicago’s Parks by Julia S. Bachrach, Chicago Park District Historian In 1909, Daniel H. Burnham (1846 – 1912) and Edward Bennett published the Plan of Chicago, a seminal work that had a major impact, not only on the city of Chicago’s future development, but also to the burgeoning field of urban planning. Today, govern- ment agencies, institutions, universities, non-profit organizations and private firms throughout the region are coming together 100 years later under the auspices of the Burnham Plan Centennial to educate and inspire people throughout the region. Chicago will look to build upon the successes of the Plan and act boldly to shape the future of Chicago and the surrounding areas. Begin- ning in the late 1870s, Burnham began making important contri- butions to Chicago’s parks, and much of his park work served as the genesis of the Plan of Chicago. The following essay provides Daniel Hudson Burnham from a painting a detailed overview of this fascinating topic. by Zorn , 1899, (CM). Early Years Born in Henderson, New York in 1846, Daniel Hudson Burnham moved to Chi- cago with his parents and six siblings in the 1850s. His father, Edwin Burnham, found success in the wholesale drug busi- ness and was appointed presidet of the Chicago Mercantile Association in 1865. After Burnham attended public schools in Chicago, his parents sent him to a college preparatory school in New England. He failed to be accepted by either Harvard or Yale universities, however; and returned Plan for Lake Shore from Chicago Ave. on the north to Jackson Park on the South , 1909, (POC).
