Some farms specialize in one or a few fish was about US$47.2 million. Given the additional economic groups, while other farms produce a wide spectrum of effects of tropical fish trade such as support industries, aquatic livestock. wholesalers, retail pet stores, and aquarium product manufacturing, the importance to Florida is tremendous. Fish can be grouped in a number of different ways. One major division in the industry which has practical signifi- Florida’s tropical ornamental aquaculture industry is cance is that between egg-laying species and live-bearing concentrated in Hillsborough, Polk, and Miami-Dade species.

The South China Sea is a major water body containing a large and diverse fish fauna. However, many areas of the South China Sea, particularly in Malaysia and Vietnam, have been poorly studied in terms of fish taxonomy and diversity. Local fish scientists and students have frequently faced difficulty when try- ing to identify fishes in their home countries.

  • Fishes of the King Edward River in the Kimberley Region, Western Australia
    Records of the Western Australian Museum 25: 351–368 (2010). Fishes of the King Edward River in the Kimberley region, Western Australia David L. Morgan Freshwater Fish Group, Centre for Fish and Fisheries Research, Murdoch University, Murdoch, Western Australia 6150, Australia. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract – The King Edward River, in the far north of the Kimberley region of Western Australia drains approximately 10,000 km2 and discharges into the Timor Sea near the town of Kalumburu. This study represents an ichthyological survey of the river’s freshwaters and revealed that the number of freshwater fishes of the King Edward River is higher than has previously been recorded for a Western Australian river. Twenty-six strictly freshwater fish species were recorded, which is three species higher than the much larger Fitzroy River in the southern Kimberley. The study also identified a number of range extensions, including Butler’s Grunter and Shovel-nosed Catfish to the west, and the Slender Gudgeon to the north and east. A possibly undescribed species of glassfish, that differs morphologically from described species in arrangement of head spines, fin rays, as well as relative body measurements, is reported. A considerable proportion of Jenkins’ Grunter, which is widespread throughout the system but essentially restricted to main channel sites, had ‘blubber-lips’. There were significant differences in the prevailing fish fauna of the different reaches of the King Edward River system. Thus fish associations in the upper King Edward River main channel were significantly different to those in the tributaries and the main channel of the Carson River.

    JIRCAS Working ReportSection No.90 Ⅳ - 2: Morioka and Vongvichith 117 Importance of resources of small-sized fishes as fundamental components of food resources and fish diversity in Lao PDR Shinsuke Morioka1, Bounsong Vongvichith2 1 Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences (JIRCAS), Tsukuba, Japan 2 Living Aquatic Resources Research Center (LRReC), National Agriculture and Forestry Research Institute of (NAFRI), Vientiane, Lao PDR Abstract Growth, reproduction, and lifespan were reviewed in three indigenous small-sized fishes in Lao PDR belonging to different taxa, Parambassis siamensis (Ambassidae), Rasbora rubrodorsalis (Cyprinidae), and Clupeichthys aesarnensis (Clupeidae). All three species were estimated to have short lifespans (< one year) and breed throughout the year with plural generation alternations within a year. Environment in high temperature accelerated initial growth in all species. In C. aesarnensis, while higher temperature was considered to lead to earlier maturation and downsizing of maturation size, evolutionary downsizing owing to overfishing was of another concern. As the recent economic development and population growth within the country has led to an increase in fish demand and deterioration of the environment, all the species are considered to be in danger of stock decline. Therefore, in the present study, some ideas for stock managements for these species based on biological aspects are discussed. Introduction Lao PDR is a country with rich resources of indigenous fish species, particularly in the basins of the Mekong River and its tributaries. Estimates of the numbers of indigenous fish species in this region range from 700 to more than 1,200 (Kottelat 2001; Sverdrup-Jensen 2002). Among these, various indigenous small-sized fishes are distributed across the country regardless of taxa.

  • Osmoregulation in Three Species of Ambassidae (Osteichthyes: Perciformes) from Estuaries in Natal
    s. Afr. 1. Zool. 1990,25(4) 229 Osmoregulation in three species of Ambassidae (Osteichthyes: Perciformes) from estuaries in Natal T.J. Martin Coastal Research Unit of Zulu land, Department of Zoology, University of Zulu land, Kwa Dlangezwa, 3886 South Africa Received 25 July 1989; accepted 17 July 1990 Whole blood osmotic regulation was evaluated in three co-ocaming, estuarine species of Ambassis exposed to ambient salinities from fresh water (0,13%0) to 53%0. Blood molality of all three species, acclimated to fresh water, showed significant increases over the range of ambient salinities from fresh water through 5%0 and stabilized only in the range 18%..-35%0). Osmotic concentrations of all three species rose abruptly at salinities above 35%0 and no species survived direct transfer into ambient salinities above 53%0. A productus, collected in fresh water, required 24 h prior acclimation at 18%0 for survival in sea water (35%0). A gymnocephaJus acclimated in sea water showed the least tolerance of the three species to low salinities and experienced a 42% decrease in blood osmotic concentration when exposed to fresh water whereas the decrease for A. natalensis and A productus was only 20% and 23% respectively. Histological investigation of Ambassis kidneys indicated that all three species have structurally advanced kidneys of the mesonephric type common to most teleosts which spend a proportion of their lives in a hyposmotic medium. Osmotic regulatory characteristics of Ambassis species are discussed in relation to their distribution in estuaries. Die regulering van bloedosmose van die drie Ambassis-spesies wat in riviermondings voorkom en blootgestel is aan omringende water met soutgehaltes vanaf varswater (0,13%0) tot 53%0 is ge-evalueer.
