Shelton1* and Shmuel Rothbard2 1 Zoology Department, University of Oklahoma, Norman, Oklahoma 73019, USA 2 YAFIT Laboratory, Fish Breeding Center, Gan Shmuel 38810, Israel (Received 31.12.05, Accepted 10.1.06) Key words: aquaculture, exotic species, worldwide Abstract The culture of exotic fishes contributes about 17% to global food aquaculture production. Transplanted native species add substantially to the aquatic harvest of food and sport fishes in many countries. Some countries are very dependent on the cultivation of non-native species; yields of exotics exceed 25% of the total harvest in China, 60% of the freshwater harvest in the Philippines, and 50% of the production in Brazil. Aquatic food production in Israel is predomi- nately from introduced fishes. In the USA, transplanted species are economically important as food and sport fish and exotics are used in resource management as well as a major food source. Countries of origin for globally important fishes include China (endemic carps), USA (Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout), Europe (common carp), and Africa (tilapias). The aquacul- ture production of food fish will become increasingly vital as oceanic capture fisheries continue to stagnate. Exotic and transplanted fishes that are widespread today will represent a greater proportion of future aquaculture production because technology for their culture is already well known and can readily be applied, and because these species are more easily domesticated and genetically improved.

ABSTRACT This study aims to determine the species composition and range of Mediterranean Blennies (Ac- tinopterygii, Blenniidae) occurring in river estuaries and lagoon systems of the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, and to characterise the length–weight relationship of the specimens. A total of 15 sites were surveyed from November 2014 to June 2017. A total of 210 individuals representing 3 fish species (Rusty blenny-Parablennius sanguinolentus, Freshwater blenny-Salaria fluviatilis and Peacock blenny-Salaria pavo) were sampled from five (Beşgöz Creek Estuary, Manavgat River Es- tuary, Karpuzçay Creek Estuary, Köyceğiz Lagoon Lake and Beymelek Lagoon Lake) of the locali- ties investigated. The high juvenile densities of S. fluviatilis in Karpuzçay Creek Estuary and P. sanguinolentus in Beşgöz Creek Estuary were observed. Various threat factors were observed in five different native habitats of Blenny species. The threats on the habitat and the population of the species include the introduction of exotic species, water ORCID IDs of the authors: pollution, and more importantly, the destruction of habitats.

  • Preserving a Critical Fishery Resource in Inle Lake, Myanmar for Sustainable Fisheries and Food Security
    Preserving a Critical Fishery Resource in Inle Lake, Myanmar for Sustainable Fisheries and Food Security Myo Min Hlaing Inle carp (Cyprinus intha) is a bottom dweller species of carps which is endemic in Lake Inle of Myanmar. This species of carp is being driven to near extinction due to overfishing and environmental degradation of its natural habitat. Lake Inle is the second largest natural inland water body in Myanmar. Situated in Shan State in the northeastern part of the country, Lake Inle has an area of about 116 km2 and sits in a tropical monsoonal area with diverse species of flora and fauna. Recently, the Lake has suffered environmental degradation due to deforestation and agro-chemical pollution, a situation that affects not only the Inle carp that inhabits the Lake due to its degrading water quality but also the Intha fishers who depend on Lake Inle and Inle carp fisheries for their livelihoods. Inle carp (Cyprinus intha) is a Cyprinid fish commonly found in Lake Inle and an endemic species in Myanmar. In 2011, the IUCN Red List declared the Inle carp as endangered as it had been impacted by the introduction of some Cyprinus species in the Lake. C. intha inhabits the shallow zone of the Lake, especially in areas with dense submerged vegetation and muddy with high organic bottom. Spawning of this species usually takes place in waters with temperature ranging from 24°C to 26°C, between November and March. The inland waters of Myanmar include natural inland and seasonal water bodies as well as freshwater fishponds that Clockwise: Map of Myanmar are being tapped for fisheries, which has been playing a showing Lake Inle, and intha fishers’ technique of rowing boats in Lake Inle with a unique motion vital role in the cultural and socio-economic advancement that has become a symbol of the local intha tribe of the country.

DOI: 10.1002/aqc.699 The effects of introduced tilapias on native biodiversity GABRIELLE C. CANONICOa,*, ANGELA ARTHINGTONb, JEFFREY K. MCCRARYc,d and MICHELE L. THIEMEe a Sustainable Development and Conservation Biology Program, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland, USA b Centre for Riverine Landscapes, Faculty of Environmental Sciences, Griffith University, Australia c University of Central America, Managua, Nicaragua d Conservation Management Institute, College of Natural Resources, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Virginia, USA e Conservation Science Program, World Wildlife Fund, Washington, DC, USA ABSTRACT 1. The common name ‘tilapia’ refers to a group of tropical freshwater fish in the family Cichlidae (Oreochromis, Tilapia, and Sarotherodon spp.) that are indigenous to Africa and the southwestern Middle East. Since the 1930s, tilapias have been intentionally dispersed worldwide for the biological control of aquatic weeds and insects, as baitfish for certain capture fisheries, for aquaria, and as a food fish. They have most recently been promoted as an important source of protein that could provide food security for developing countries without the environmental problems associated with terrestrial agriculture. In addition, market demand for tilapia in developed countries such as the United States is growing rapidly. 2. Tilapias are well-suited to aquaculture because they are highly prolific and tolerant to a range of environmental conditions. They have come to be known as the ‘aquatic chicken’ because of their potential as an affordable, high-yield source of protein that can be easily raised in a range of environments } from subsistence or ‘backyard’ units to intensive fish hatcheries.

The study of environmental resources usually gets meagre attention particularly in developing countries. This is the first-attempt to study population dynamics and fishery management parameters of a very important aquatic environmental resource Cirrhinus mrigala (Mrigal carp) in Pakistan. For this, six monthly surveys, January to June 2020, collected 720 samples numbers (n), ranging (R) in size from 14 to 37 centimeters (cm) (22±5.445) and weighing from 30 to 527 grams (g) (148±110.673). Collected data was statistically analysed by FAO-ICLARM Stock Assessment Tools II (FiSAT-II). Length-weight relationship (LWR) for Mrigal carp was measured as W=0.014 L2.936 having goodness of fit (R2) value of 0.987. -1 Computed values of asymptotic length (L∞) and growth coefficient (K) were 38.85 cm and 0.180 years . Other fishery parameters, viz., theoretical age at which length is zero (to), growth performance index (GPI), total mortality (Z), natural mortality (M) and fishing mortality (F) were estimated at -0.056, Φ'= 2.434 year, Φ= 1.130 year, 1.170 years-1, 0.493 years-1 and 0.677 years-1, correspondingly.
