The fish genera Gasterosteus, Hucho, Oxynoemacheilus, Salmo, and Schizothorax are examples of these groups among vertebrates, and the genera Magnibursatus (Trematoda), Margaritifera, Potomida, Microcondylaea, Leguminaia, Unio (Mollusca), and Phagocata (Planaria), among invertebrates. There is reason to believe that their ancestors spread to Europe through the Paratethys (or the proto-Paratethys basin that preceded it), where intense speciation took place and new genera of aquatic organisms arose. Some of the forms that originated in the Paratethys colonized the Mediterranean, and overwhelming data indicate that Citation: Artamonova, V.S.; Bolotov, representatives of the genera Salmo, Caspiomyzon, and Ecrobia migrated during the Miocene from I.N.; Vinarski, M.V.; Makhrov, A.A.

Since the work of J.J. Heckel (1846-1849), the number of valid species has increased significantly and the systematic status of many of the species has changed, and reorganization and updating of the published information has become essential. Here we take the opportunity to provide a new and updated checklist of freshwater fishes of Iran based on literature and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history and new fish collections. This article lists 288 species in 107 genera, 28 families, 22 orders and 3 classes reported from different Iranian basins. However, presence of 23 reported species in Iranian waters needs confirmation by specimens.
  • THE THREE MUSKETEERS by Alexandre Dumas

    THE THREE MUSKETEERS by Alexandre Dumas

    THE THREE MUSKETEERS by Alexandre Dumas THE AUTHOR Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) was born in a small French village northeast of Paris. His father had been a general under Napoleon, and his paternal grandfather had lived in Haiti and had married a former slave woman there, thus making Dumas what was called a quadroon. Napoleon and his father had parted on bad terms, with Dumas’ father being owed a large sum of money; the failure to pay this debt left the family poor and struggling, though the younger Dumas remained an admirer of the French emperor. Young Dumas moved to Paris in 1823 and took a job as a clerk to the Duke of Orleans (later to become King Louis Philippe), but soon began writing plays. Though his plays were successful and he made quite a handsome living from them, his profligate lifestyle (both financially and sexually) kept him constantly on the edge of bankruptcy. He played an active role in the revolution of 1830, and then turned to writing novels. As was the case with Dickens in England, his books were published in cheap newspapers in serial form. Dumas proved able to crank out popular stories at an amazing rate, and soon became the most famous writer in France. Among his works are The Three Musketeers (1844), The Count of Monte Cristo (1845), and The Man in the Iron Mask (1850). Dumas’ novels tend to be long and full of flowery description (some cynics suggest that this is because he was paid by the word), and for this reason often appear today in the form of abridged translations (if you ever doubt the value of such an approach, take a look at the unabridged version of Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables sometime).

    Barbatula Leoparda (Actinopterygii, Nemacheilidae), a New Endemic Species of Stone Loach of French Catalonia

    Scientific paper Barbatula leoparda (Actinopterygii, Nemacheilidae), a new endemic species of stone loach of French Catalonia by Camille GAULIARD (1), Agnès DETTAI (2), Henri PERSAT (1, 3), Philippe KEITH (1) & Gaël P.J. DENYS* (1, 4) Abstract. – This study described a new stone loach species in France, Barbatula leoparda, which is endemic to French Catalonia (Têt and Tech river drainages). Seven specimens were compared to 49 specimens of B. bar- batula (Linnaeus, 1758) and 71 specimens of B. quignardi (Băcescu-Meşter, 1967). This new species is char- acterized by the presence of blotches on the belly and the jugular area in individuals longer than 47 mm SL and by a greater interorbital distance (35.5 to 41.8% of the head length). We brought moreover the sequence of two mitochondrial markers (COI and 12S, respectively 652 and 950 bp) of the holotype, which are well distinct from all other species, for molecular identifications. This discovery is important for conservation.

Freshwaters, Vol. 24, No. 1, pp. 21-30, 7 figs., 1 tab., July 2013 © 2013 by Verlag Dr. Friedrich Pfeil, München, Germany – ISSN 0936-9902 Two new species of Schistura from Myanmar (Teleostei: Nemacheilidae) Jörg Bohlen* and Vendula Šlechtová* Schistura rubrimaculata, new species, is described from two streams on the eastern slope of the Rakhine Range draining in Irrawaddy River. It reaches up to 27.7 mm SL and differs from all other species of Schistura by the presence of a distinct red dot above the midlateral line before the caudal-fin base (not visible in preserved speci- mens), a very slender body and a white ventral side below a broad black midlateral stripe; the dorsal side of the snout dark grey, and the anus located close to the anal-fin origin. Schistura pawensis, new species, shares with S. rubrimaculata the small size, slender body and general pigmentation pattern and is considered as closely re- lated to S. rubrimaculata. Schistura pawensis differs from S. rubrimaculata in having fewer branched rays in caudal and dorsal fins, the anus at mid-distance between pelvic and anal fins, fewer pores in lateral line, the dorsal side of the snout white, and the red dot on the caudal peduncle smaller and less prominent.

Read Full License Page 1/23 Abstract Bcakground Loaches of the superfamily Cobitoidea (Cypriniformes, Nemacheilidae) are small elongated bottom-dwelling freshwater shes with several barbels near the mouth. The genus Oreonectes with 18 currently recognized species contains representatives for all three key stages of the evolutionary process (a surface-dwelling lifestyle, facultative cave persistence, and permanent cave dwelling). Some Oreonectes species show typical cave dwelling- related traits, such as partial or complete leucism and regression of the eyes, rendering them as suitable study objects of micro-evolution. Genome information of Oreonectes species is therefore an indispensable resource for research into the evolution of caveshes. Results Here we assembled the genome sequence of O. shuilongensis, a surface-dwelling species, using an integrated approach that combined PacBio single-molecule real-time sequencing and Illumina X-ten paired-end sequencing. Based on in total 50.9 Gb of sequencing data, our genome assembly from Canu and Pilon spans approximately 515.64 Mb (estimated coverage of 100 ×), containing 803 contigs with N50 values of 5.58 Mb.

ABSTRACT: Bhutan’s water resources span a tremendous elevational gradient and are home to a diverse ichthyofauna. However, much of the aquatic biodiversity remains understudied and little is known about the ecology of native species. In an effort to strengthen Bhutan’s existing fishery database, the National Research and Development Centre for Riverine and Lake Fisheries, Haa, conducted an ichthyofauna assessment from 2017 to 2019 at 496 sampling stations spread across three hydrological basins namely Aiechhu, Manas and Nyera-Amachhu in eastern Bhutan. A total of 108 fish species, representing 47 genera, 19 families and seven orders were recorded during the study. The highest number of species and endemic fish were found concentrated along the Aiechhu hydrological basin, particularly the Aiechhu proper (Maochhu) and below <500 meters elevation. Based on these findings, the Aiechhu proper appears to be best choice for retaining a free-flowing river in Bhutan and plans for future hydropower developments in elevation <500 meters above sea level should be reconsidered. Keywords: Aiechhu; Eastern Bhutan; elevation; fish diversity; hydrological basin.

Stone loaches from the headwaters of the Bulgan River (Mongolian Altai) (Teleostei: Cypriniformes: Nemacheilidae: Barbatula). Munis Entomology & Zoology, 13 (2): 702-717] ABSTRACT: Two sympatric species of loaches, Barbatula cf. altayensis Zhu, 1992 and B. karabanowi Prokofiev, 2018, occur in the upper reaches of the river Bulgan in Mongolia. They represent the only fish taxa found in the studied part of the river. Significant morphological differences between these species support their apparent belonging to the different phyletic lineages. Barbatula cf. altayensis is characterized by the following combination of characters: nostrils closely set; lips furrowed, upper lip with medial indentation weak to absent, lower lip with medial lobes barely separated, furrowed, lateral lobes absent; scale cover well developed; broad head with muscular cheeks; 44–45 vertebrae; 89–105 lateral-line pores; pigmentation pattern consisting of transverse bars or isolated well spaced blotches. A set of peculiar features (mouth structure and position of nares, characters of sexual dimorphism, strong ossification of the otic portion of the cephalic laterosensory system) supposes an isolated position of B. altayensis within the genus. The second species, B. karabanowi, belongs to the “blunt-snouted” complex of species related to B.
