Hemichromis lifalili Hemichromis lifalili, common name blood-red jewel cichlid, is a species of fish in the family Cichlidae.[3][4][5] Hemichromis lifalili Contents Description Diet Reproduction Distribution and habitat Hemichromis lifalili Bibliography Conservation status References Description Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)[1] Hemichromis lifalili can grow up to 8.2–10 centimetres (3.2–3.9 in) Scientific classification long.[6][5] They are red-orange or bright red with rows of small blue spots all over the body, the head and fins. Two dark spots[5] are Domain: Eukaryota present on the sides, the first on the opercle, the second in the Kingdom: Animalia middle of the body, while they lack the dark spot at the base of the tail present in Hemichromis bimaculatus. Phylum: Chordata Class: Actinopterygii In the mating period almost the whole body is red. Outside the spawning season adult males and females can be distinguished Order: Cichliformes mainly by their body shape. The females are much leaner and show Family: Cichlidae a brighter red.[5] The males are much stronger and have a more massive head than females. Genus: Hemichromis Species: H. lifalili Diet Binomial name These fishes mainly feeds on worms, crustaceans, insects, small Hemichromis lifalili fish, but also on vegetable matter.[5] Loiselle, 1979 Synonyms Reproduction Hemichromis bimaculatus This species, as the more common and congener Hemichromis (non Gill, 1862) bimaculatus, is a popular aquarium fish and it is widespread commercially for breeding in the aquarium. Reproduction is quite [2] simple and it is carried easily in captivity. Usually, the female lays about 400 eggs on a stone and the male immediately fertilizes them.[5] At a temperature of 25.5 °C, after 48 hours they hatch.[5] After five and a half days, the fry swims freely and are led mainly by the female, while the male is mainly engaged in the defense of the territory. Distribution and habitat This species is present in The Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Lower and Central Congo River basin, except from the Shaba (Katanga) and Kasaï regions.[6][7] These fishes prefers rocky and warm watercourses (22–24 °C).[6] In oxygen-depleted waters, in rapids and in swampy habitats this species is missing.[5] Bibliography Loiselle, P.

Also reported from west Africa (Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Togo, Benin, Nigeria) (Loiselle 1979, Stiassny et al. 2008), but this needs confirmation (Teugels and Thys van den Audenaerde 2003).

Your suggestions and our discussion are of great interest to me. Cette thèse est le fruit d’une rencontre que j’ai faite en troisième année de licence, pendant mon stage de fin d’année, l’été 2012. J’ai alors fait la connaissance de Kei, qui était encore chercheur post-doctoral. Rapidement, devant notre intérêt commun pour l’évolution de l’intelligence, Kei m’a fait part de ses projets pour le futur, qui m’ont passionné. Ce premier contact avec le projet qui allait devenir mon sujet de thèse m’a marqué. Par chance, Kei a pu avoir un poste au moment où je suis entré en Master 2, ce qui a pu déboucher sur un stage puis sur la thèse.

    Effects of Introducted Peacock Cichlids Cichla Ocellaris on Native Largemouth Bass Micropierus Salmoides in Southeast Florida

    EFFECTS OF INTRODUCED PEACOCK CICHLIDS CICHLA OCELLARIS ON NATIVE LARGEMOUTH BASS MICROPTERUS SALMOIDES IN SOUTHEAST FLORIDA By JEFFREY E. HILL A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2003 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Many people provided tremendous assistance in the completion of this project. All deserve my acknowledgment. I apologize beforehand to anyone inadvertently omitted. The primary acknowledgment goes to my wife, Susan, for her unfailing support throughout my entire graduate career. I thank her for sacrificing in order for me to fulfill our shared goal. 1 especially thank her for putting up with my obsession for fish. I am gratefial for the constant support of my family—^my father, mother, and sister (Baker, Jacqueline, and Kim). They shared the dream of my doctorate—I am thankfial to have fulfilled our collective aspiration. I greatly appreciate the guidance and support of my doctoral committee—Drs. Charles E. Cichra (Chair), Carter R. Gilbert, William J. Lindberg, Leo G. Nico, and Craig W. Osenberg. It was a great pleasure to work for Dr. Cichra—the experience I received in extension, research, and teaching, along with strong mentorship and his fiiendship, were instrumental in my professional development. Carter Gilbert has been a tremendous influence and is one of my real "fish heroes". I especially thank Carter for staying involved in my graduate education after his retirement—that meant a lot to me. Leo Nico's remarkable field experience with nonindigenous fishes and south Florida systems was invaluable.
  • Regional Biosecurity Plan for Micronesia and Hawaii Volume II

    Regional Biosecurity Plan for Micronesia and Hawaii Volume II

    Regional Biosecurity Plan for Micronesia and Hawaii Volume II Prepared by: University of Guam and the Secretariat of the Pacific Community 2014 This plan was prepared in conjunction with representatives from various countries at various levels including federal/national, state/territory/commonwealth, industry, and non-governmental organizations and was generously funded and supported by the Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) and Headquarters, Marine Corps. MBP PHASE 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY NISC Executive Summary Prepared by the National Invasive Species Council On March 7th, 2007 the U.S. Department of Navy (DoN) issued a Notice of Intent to prepare an “Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)/Overseas Environmental Impact Statement (OEIS)” for the “Relocation of U.S. Marine Corps Forces to Guam, Enhancement of Infrastructure and Logistic Capabilities, Improvement of Pier/Waterfront Infrastructure for Transient U.S. Navy Nuclear Aircraft Carrier (CVN) at Naval Base Guam, and Placement of a U.S. Army Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Task Force in Guam”. This relocation effort has become known as the “build-up”. In considering some of the environmental consequences of such an undertaking, it quickly became apparent that one of the primary regional concerns of such a move was the potential for unintentional movement of invasive species to new locations in the region. Guam has already suffered the eradication of many of its native species due to the introduction of brown treesnakes and many other invasive plants, animals and pathogens cause tremendous damage to its economy and marine, freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems. DoN, in consultation and concurrence with relevant federal and territorial regulatory entities, determined that there was a need to develop a biosecurity plan to address these concerns.
