INTRODUCTION Table 1. List of valid species within the genus Neolissochilus Rainboth 1985, their distribution and IUCN threat status The cyprinid genus, Neolissochilus Rainboth, 1985, Species Distribution IUCN Status comprises of 25 species of medium to large sized barbs, Neolissochilus baoshanensis (Chen China Data Deficient of which 22 are known to occur in Southeast Asia (see & Yang, 1999) Neolissochilus benasi (Pellegrin & China, Vietnam Data Deficient Kottelat 2013) and seven in the Indian subcontinent Chevey, 1936) (Table 1). They are important game fishes in parts of Neolissochilus blanci (Pellegrin & Cambodia, Laos, Near South and Southeast Asia (Jhingran 1977; Khaironizam Fang, 1940) Thailand, Vietnam Threatened 2010) and are also known to occur in the aquarium Neolissochilus blythi (Day, 1870) Myanmar Data Deficient Neolissochilus bovanicus*(Day, Critically India pet trade (Khaironizam 2010). Sixteen species of 1877) Endangered Neolissochilus have been assessed for their conservation Neolissochilus compressus (Day, Uncertain - probably Not Assessed status, of which, two species have been assessed as 1870) Myanmar ‘Critically Endangered’, two as ‘Vulnerable’, three as Neolissochilus dukai (Day, 1878) India Data Deficient Neolissochilus hendersoni (Herre, ‘Near Threatened’, four as ‘Least Concern’ and five as Malay Peninsula Not Assessed 1940) ‘Data Deficient’ (see Table 1; and also species specific Neolissochilus heterostomus (Chen China Not Assessed accounts on IUCN Red List of Threatened Species at & Yang, 1999) Bangladesh, China www.iucnredlist.org). Neolissochilus hexagonolepis India, Indonesia, Not Assessed The Wayanad Mahseer, Neolissochilus wynaadensis (McClelland, 1839) Malaysia, Myanmar, (Day, 1873) is one of two species within the genus that Nepal, Thailand Neolissochilus hexastichus Near India, Myanmar occurs in peninsular India; the other being N. bovanicus, (McClelland, 1839) Threatened Neolissochilus longipinnis (Weber & found in the Bhavani River. Day (1873; p528) described Sumatra and Java Not Assessed Barbus (Barbodes) wynaadensis, from Vythiri, Wayanad Beaufort, 1916) Neolissochilus nigrovittatus Myanmar Data Deficient and reported it to be a common species in the larger (Boulenger, 1893) Neolissochilus paucisquamatus streams of the region, growing up to a length of 200 mm Myanmar, Thailand Least Concern (Smith, 1945) (also see Day 1878, p 568; 1889, p 313). The species Neolissochilus soro (Valenciennes, Indonesia Not Assessed was considered to be endemic to the streams in the 1842) Neolissochilus soroides (Duncker, Cambodia, Malaysia, Wayanad region of Kerala, until Manimekalan (1998) Least Concern 1904) Thailand and subsequently, Yazdani et al. (2001) recorded it from Neolissochilus spinulosus India Data Deficient Mudumalai, Tamil Nadu and Arunachalam et al. (2005) (McClelland, 1845 ) Neolissochilus stevensonii (Day, recorded it from Abbey Falls near Madikeri, Kodagu, Myanmar Data Deficient 1870) Karnataka. Cambodia, Myanmar, Neolissochilus stracheyi (Day, 1871) Least Concern Neolissochilus wynaadensis has been considered to India, Thailand Neolissochilus subterraneus be a rare species with several surveys in and around the Thailand Vulnerable Vidthayanon & Kottelat, 2003 type locality, failing to collect this species, and very few Neolissochilus sumatranus (Weber Indonesia, Thailand Not Assessed records available in the recent ichthyological literature & Beaufort, 1916) Neolissochilus thienemmani (Ahl, which are backed by voucher specimens (see Abraham Indonesia Vulnerable 1933) 2011). Due to its restricted distribution and severe Neolissochilus tweediei (Herre & Malaysia Not Assessed population declines (up to 80%) in the last decade, N. Myers, 1937) Neolissochilus vittatus (Smith, wynaadensis has been listed as ‘Critically Endangered’ Myanmar, Thailand Least Concern 1945) in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (Abraham Neolissochilus wynaadensis (Day, Critically India 2011). 1873) Endangered As part of the on-going project on the ‘Lost fishes of *generic status as per Pethiyagoda et al. (2012) Western Ghats’, which aims to document the status and distribution of the region’s rarest species (see Ali et al. 2013 a,b,c) we obtained specimens of N. wynaadensis MATERIALS AND METHODS (Image 1 a,b,c) from its type locality (Wayanad) as well as several locations in Kodagu District, Karnataka. This Materials examined paper serves to document these records, and discuss Neolissochilus wynaadensis, CRG-SAC.2013.109-110, the current distribution, threats and conservation status 07.x.2013, 2 ex., 126.45–139.83 mm SL, off the of this species. In the wake of this new information, we road from Mukkodlu to Surlabi, Kodagu, 12.5010N & also propose a revised Red List status for N. wynaadensis. 75.7570E, Cauvery River, Karnataka, India, coll.

  • Geometric Morphometrics and Phylogeny of the Catfish Genus Mystus Scopoli (Siluriformes:Bagridae) and North American Cyprinids (Cypriniformes)
    Geometric Morphometrics and Phylogeny of the Catfish genus Mystus Scopoli (Siluriformes:Bagridae) and North American Cyprinids (Cypriniformes) by Shobnom Ferdous A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama December 14, 2013 Copyright 2013 by Shobnom Ferdous Approved by Jonathan W. Armbruster, Department of Biological Sciences, Auburn University & Committee Chair Craig Guyer, Department of Biological Sciences, Auburn University Michael C. Wooten, Department of Biological Sciences, Auburn University Lawrence M. Page, Curator of Fishes, Florida Museum of Natural History Abstract Understanding the evolution of organismal form is a primary concern of comparative biology, and inferring the phylogenetic history of shape change is, therefore, a central concern. Shape is one of the most important and easily measured elements of phenotype, and shape is the result of the interaction of many, if not most, genes. The evolution of morphological traits may be tightly linked to the phylogeny of the group. Thus, it is important to test the phylogenetic dependence of traits to study the relationship between traits and phylogeny. My dissertation research has focused on the study of body shape evolution using geometric morphometrics and the ability of geometric morphometrics to infer or inform phylogeny. For this I have studied shape change in Mystus (Siluriformes: Bagridae) and North American cyprinids. Mystus Scopoli 1771 is a diverse catfish group within Bagridae with small- to medium-sized fishes. Out of the 44 nominal species worldwide, only 30 are considered to be part of Mystus. Mystus is distributed in Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Malay Peninsula, Vietnam, Sumatra, Java and Borneo.

We have been extracting energy, materials and organisms from nature and altering landscapes at a rate that cannot be a sustainable one. Our nature is an essential partnership; an 'essential', because each living species has its space and role', and performs an activity vital to the whole; a 'partnership', because the biological species or the living components of nature can only thrive together, because together they create a dynamic equilibrium. Nature is further a dynamic entity that never remains the same- that changes, that adjusts, that evolves; 'equilibrium', that is in spirit, balanced and harmonious. Nature, in fact, promotes evolution, radiation and diversity. The current biodiversity is an inherited vital resource to us, which needs to be carefully conserved for our future generations as it holds the key to the progress in agriculture, aquaculture, clothing, food, medicine and numerous other fields.

To save this prized resource, effective conservation and rehabilitation strategies need to be planned and implemented in the country. This requires knowledge of current status of fish, declining trend, aquaculture potential and population structure in the wild habitats, which is yet not carryout comprehensively. In the present paper, an attempt has been made to review evolutionary history, present status and role of conservation biology for their conservation, sustainable utilization and enhancement. Based on the review, discussed potential promising plans, priorities and suggestions, which would help saving mighty mahseers across the country. Keywords: Mahseer, Rehabilitation, Aquaculture. Introduction is so famous between anglers that some used to call it “Majestic Goddess” and several Fishes represent half of all extant vertebrates organizations are working for its conservation with more than 32,000 recognized species by organizing various angling programmes in (Eschmeyer et al., 2014) which have different Himalayas and Western ghats in India (Islam morphology, behavior and habitat (Nelson, and Tanaka, 2007).

  • Minnows and Molecules: Resolving the Broad and Fine-Scale Evolutionary Patterns of Cypriniformes
    Minnows and molecules: resolving the broad and fine-scale evolutionary patterns of Cypriniformes by Carla Cristina Stout A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama May 7, 2017 Keywords: fish, phylogenomics, population genetics, Leuciscidae, sequence capture Approved by Jonathan W. Armbruster, Chair, Professor of Biological Sciences and Curator of Fishes Jason E. Bond, Professor and Department Chair of Biological Sciences Scott R. Santos, Professor of Biological Sciences Eric Peatman, Associate Professor of Fisheries, Aquaculture, and Aquatic Sciences Abstract Cypriniformes (minnows, carps, loaches, and suckers) is the largest group of freshwater fishes in the world. Despite much attention, previous attempts to elucidate relationships using molecular and morphological characters have been incongruent. The goal of this dissertation is to provide robust support for relationships at various taxonomic levels within Cypriniformes. For the entire order, an anchored hybrid enrichment approach was used to resolve relationships. This resulted in a phylogeny that is largely congruent with previous multilocus phylogenies, but has much stronger support. For members of Leuciscidae, the relationships established using anchored hybrid enrichment were used to estimate divergence times in an attempt to make inferences about their biogeographic history. The predominant lineage of the leuciscids in North America were determined to have entered North America through Beringia ~37 million years ago while the ancestor of the Golden Shiner (Notemigonus crysoleucas) entered ~20–6 million years ago, likely from Europe. Within Leuciscidae, the shiner clade represents genera with much historical taxonomic turbidity. Targeted sequence capture was used to establish relationships in order to inform taxonomic revisions for the clade.

All species were collected from the main stream, Sungai Karangan, and its unnamed tributaries. In total, 20 species of fishes from 10 families were recorded. Cyprinidae is the most dominant family with six species followed by Danionidae with three species. Other families contribute at least one species each. Most of the species recorded here are commonly found in the northern part of Peninsular Malaysia. Further studies should be expected to record more species and the utilization of various sampling gear such as electro fishing technique would be able to record the true species richness of fishes in this area. Key words: Species richness, Ulu Paip, logging, Gunung Bongsu, recreational forest INTRODUCTION had recorded a diverse number of fish species which were 32 species (Ahmad et al., 2018b) and 37 species Peninsular Malaysia was blessed with countless (Shah et al., 2009), respectively. numbers of small to large streams within its However, the fish species richness in Ulu Paip catchment areas.
