ROBERTS INTRODUCTION The tropical Asian labeoin cyprinid genus Cirrhinus includes species of m 吋or importance importance in aquaculωre ， wild cap 阻 re fisheries ， and ecology. Th e most important cultured species 紅 e C. cirrhosus (mrigal) and C. molitorella ， both consequently transported beyond their their natural r佃 ges. Several other species are important objects of fisheries an d/ or are ecologically ecologically dominant species. Cirrhinus microlepis is 加 important species in wild capture fisheries fisheries of the middle and lower Mekong basin ，including the Great Lake-Tonle Sap system system in central Cambodia. Two of the smaller species ， C. siamensis and C. lobatus ， are perhaps perhaps the most abundant of all naturally occu 町 ing fish species in the Mekong basin. They are heavily fished during reproductive migrations occurring mainly in May-July and non-reproductive non-reproductive migrations occurring mainly in December-January (ROBERTS ， 1993; ROBERTS & BAIRD ， 1996) Despite Despite their importance in fisheries and ecology ， the systematics and biology of most Cirrhinus Cirrhinus species have not been extensively investigated. A systematic study of Cirrhinus species species of Th ailand by Sodsuk ， 1988 is deficient because the author did not study type specimens specimens of any of the described species ， and hence the species are not well identified. Th e specimens that study was based upon are all deposited in the National Inland Fisheries Institute Institute in Bangko k. As these collections 紅 e not generally available for examination by researchers ，it has not been possible to re-exarnine or re-identify the specimens. A general review of the biology ，now somewhat out of date ，is available only for C. cirrhosus cirrhosus (JHINGRAN & KHAN ， 1979). Far less is known of other important species such as as C. microlepis. Migrations of Mekong species 訂 e just beginning to be documented (ROBERTS ， 1993; ROBERTS & BAIRD ， 1996). Samples from spawning migrations of C. lobatus lobatus indicate that it is a precocious protogynous hermaphrodite (ROBERTS & BAIRD ， 1996: 1996: 247-248 ，figs. 22-24). It also is an ecological keystone sp 配 ies ， and probably 出e most abundant fish species in the Mekong basin. This This paper is concemed mainly with alpha level systematics of species in the genus Cirrhinus. Cirrhinus. Henicorhynchus Smi 由， 1945 ，reg 紅 ded as a distinct genus by BANARESCU ， 1972; 1972; 1983 and KoπELAT ， 1989 (but in any event a subjective junior synonym of Cirrhinichthys Cirrhinichthys BLEEKER ， 1863) is treated here as a subjective junior synonym of Cirrhinus. 民1ATERIALS AND METHODS τ'h e specimens repo 民ed on are deposited in the following institutions: M 心ffi ，Am erican Museum ofNatural Hi story ，New York; ANSP ，Academy ofNatural Sciences ，Philadelphia; BMNH ，British Museum ofNatural Hi story ， London; CAS ，California Academy of Sciences ， San Francisco; MNHN ，Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle ，Paris; MSNG ，Museo Civico d'Storia d'Storia Naturale ， Genoa; USNM ，National Museum ofNatural History ，Washington ，DC; ZMA ， Zoologische Museum ，Universitet van Amsterdam; ZRCS ， Zoological Reference Collections ， National University of Singapore; and ZSIISRS ，Zoological Survey of India ， Southem Regional Station ， Madras. Species Species synonymies in this paper (as in my papers generally) are intended to provide basic basic systematic references ， not complete or even extensive bibliographies. They include SYSTEMATICS AND BIOLOGY OF CIRRHINUS 173 prim 紅 y synonymy (original descriptions and designations of scientific names) and secondary synonymy (subjective name changes due to matters of taxonomic judgment). Additional synonymy may be provided ，when the references themselves permit reasonably sure identification identification of the species ， or when 1 have been able to examine voucher specimens upon which which the identifications were based. Some important instances of “negative" synonymy are are included ，when species are reidentified as something else. Such entries are preceded with with the neo ・Latin term “ nec" meaning “ not" or “ not of'. Type localities are cited as direct quotations from the original publications. Further explanation explanation or interpretation of the localities ，if not provided in the original publications ， is is clearly indicated as additional ， by being placed in parentheses or brackets. Some detail has has gone into listing the material examined ，particularly in the matter of providing localities ， dates ， and name of collectors. The importance of such information will become increasingly evident evident as the ranges of species change more and more due to human impacts (including introductions). introductions).

  • The Genus Henicorhynchus – a Common Fish with Identity Problems in the Mekong Basin
    ISSN 0859-290X, Vol. 8, No. 1 - September 2002 [Supplement No. 18] THE GENUS HENICORHYNCHUS – A COMMON FISH WITH IDENTITY PROBLEMS IN THE MEKONG BASIN The genus Henicorhynchus is probably the most important genus for the fisheries of the Lower Mekong Basin. Throughout the Basin these fish are extremely abundant at certain times of the year, particularly at the end of the monsoon season, when they move out of flood plain habitats and return to the river channels. The Tonle Sap dai fishery and the Khone Falls fisheries are two of the most important, conspicuous and well-documented fisheries of the Basin. In both, Henicorhyn- chus play a dominant role. The genus accounts for approximately 50 per cent of the catch in important trap fishery around the Khone Falls during the dry season and for 40 per cent of the catch in the Tonle Sap dai fishery during the same period. These fisheries, which are separated by several hundred kilometres, are believed to exploit the same stock of migratory species of Henicorhynchus. They, together with a number of other species, migrate from the Tonle Sap River flood plains at the end of the floods towards their dry-season habitats around and beyond the Khone Falls. The group is believed to consist mainly of the species Henicorhynchus lobatus (90 per cent) and Henicorhynchus siamensis (only 10 per cent). Along the entire route from the Tonle Sap River to the Khone Falls, the fish are exploited by local fishers. Some fishers even follow the fish for some distance, particularly along the stretch from Kratie to Stung Treng and into the Sesan tributary system.

  • Migration Patterns for Important Mekong Fish (7) Back to Species List
    printer friendly version Order Cypriniformes Henichorynchus siamensis Family Cyprinidae (de Beaufort, 1927) Subfamily Cyprininae Tribe Labeonini Subtribe Labeones Genus Henichorhyncus Species siamensis migration patterns data stations Migration patterns for important Mekong fish (7) back to species list There appears to be some taxonomic confusion regarding the genus Henicorhynchus. In a recent taxonomic revision of the cyprinid genus, Cirrhinus, Henicorhynchus was treated as a junior synonym of Cirrhinus (Roberts,1997). We choose to follow the nomenclature of Rainboth (1996) and therefore, at least for the time being, use the name Henicorhynchus siamensis. Together with another species from the same genus, Henicorhynchus lobatus, Henicorhynchus siamensis may be the most abundant fish species in the middle and lower Mekong (Roberts,1997). It has been suggested that Henicorhynchus loba- tus is an ecological keystone species (Roberts and Baird,1995; Roberts,1997).The information provided by fishermen dur- ing the AMFC survey was based on a photograph of Henicorhynchus siamensis. Roberts (1997) indicated that it might be difficult to distinguish between specimens of the two species and, therefore, some of the information provided by fish- ers may possibly be related to either, or both, species. According to the present survey, the distribution of Henicorhynchus siamensis ranges from the Mekong delta all the way along the Mekong River to Chiang Khong, near the border between the Lao PDR,Thailand and Myanmar. This species is well known for lateral migrations into the flood plains during the flood season and then returning to the rivers when the floodwater begins to recede (Rainboth,1996). The genus Henicorhynchus is the most important group of fish in the dai fisheries of the Tonle Sap River, constituting more than 60 per cent of the catch from November to February (Lieng et al.,1995).
