Without His blessing, this achievement would not have been possible. Next, I would like to express my thanks and endless appreciation to my supervisor, Dr. Chung Hung Hui for his continued guidance and support throughout the project. I have been extremely lucky to have a supervisor who cared so much about my work. He has been there providing his valuable knowledge and advices at all times to ensure I always stay on the core of my research. I would also like to thank Dr. Lee Kul Soon for their kindness to allow me to use the machine in their laboratories. I have great pleasure in acknowledging my gratitude to post-graduate students in Animal Biotechnology Lab, Aimi and Leonard. Their countless guidance and encouragement had greatly contributed to the completion of the thesis. Besides that, I would like to thank my lab mates, Woan Ting, Chew Pei Ling, Syahril, Chung Pey Lin, Lee Ying, Vivien, Abigail and Fatin for giving me various forms of assistance and motivation during the hard times. I would also likVo express my gratitude to my friends, Zi Wei, Kai Jia, Caren, Chloe, Jinny, Jia Min, Jeffrey, Kang Young, William and Woei Hann for their moral support and motivation. My acknowledgement would be incomplete without giving a special thanks to my family members: my dad Lau Hieng Yioung, any mum Shu How Ming, my sisters Agnes and Grace and my brother Andrew for their undying love. Their prayers for me were what sustained me thus far.

In decision CP-9/13, the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety decided to establish the Ad Hoc Technical Expert Group (AHTEG) on Risk Assessment and Risk Management, which would work in accordance with the terms of reference contained in annex II to that decision. In the same decision, the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Protocol requested the Executive Secretary to commission a study informing the application of annex I of the decision to (a) living modified organisms containing engineered gene drives and (b) living modified fish and present it to the online forum and the AHTEG. 2. Pursuant to the above, and with the financial support of the Government of the Netherlands, the Secretariat commissioned a study informing the application of annex I to living modified fish to facilitate the process referred to in paragraph 6 of decision CP-9/13. The study was presented to the Open-Ended Online Forum on Risk Assessment and Risk Management, which was held from 20 January to 1 February 2020, during which registered participants provided feedback and comments.1 3.

Hurtado Co-Chair of Committee, Mariana Mateos Committee Member, James B. Woolley Head of Department, David Caldwell December 2018 Major Subject: Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences Copyright 2018 Violet M’mbone Ndeda ABSTRACT The genus ‘Barbus’ belongs to a speciose taxonomically complex and heterogeneous assemblage of cyprinid fish. In Lake Victoria drainage basin in Kenya, ten endemic species of ‘Barbus’ are reported, which play a significant role in food security and socio-economic development of the local community. Although these species are identified using morphological characters, confusion may occur when trying to distinguish morphologically similar species. Recent molecular work in the region has suggested presence of introgression within certain ‘Barbus’ species further complicating the taxonomy and species identification in the group. In this study, we obtained cytochrome b and GH-intron 2 gene sequences of nine ‘Barbus’ species sampled in the Lake Victoria drainage basin in Kenya. We conducted Maximum likelihood and Bayesian phylogenetic analyses to establish their evolutionary relationships in relation to other ‘Barbus’. The results showed distinct lineages of ‘Barbus’ species not subjected to introgression/hybridization. Herein, we present new sequences of cytochrome b and GH DNA for small African ‘Barbus’.

  • Ichthyofaunal Diversity of Tasek Bera Ramsar Site, Pahang, Peninsular Malaysia

Rizal & Amirrudin B.A* Pusat Pengajian Sains Marin dan Sekitaran, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, 21030 Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu, Malaysia *Corresponding author’s email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Tasek Bera Ramsar Site is an alluvial swamp with small area of open water and is an im- portant and unique freshwater ecosystem in Peninsular Malaysia. Research on fish fauna of Tasek Bera began more than 60 years ago. A recent survey has collected a total of 52 species belonging to 20 families of freshwater fishes bringing the total number of fish species known to date to 127 species from 30 families. Thirteen species are newly recorded for the ecosystem, comprising of mainly small, cryptic and bottom dwelling species that can be found among riparian vegetation or root system of riparian plants. The remaining species are common and can be found widely distributed throughout Peninsular Malaysia. The ich- thyofaunas of Tasek Bera are dominated by Cyprinidae (51 species), Siluridae (12 species), followed by Bagridae (nine species) and Osphronemidae (nine species). The available data showed that fish diversity of Tasek Bera ecosystem is highly diverse. Future research needs to consider the peripheral habitat in order to obtain a complete picture of the ichthyofauna diversity of Tasek Bera Ramsar Site for sound conservation and management.

E-mail: [email protected] 3Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The order Cypriniformes is the most diverse order of freshwater fishes. Recent phylogenetic studies have approached a consensus on the phylogenetic relationships of Cypriniformes and proposed a new phylogenetic classification of family- level groupings in Cypriniformes. The lack of a reference for the placement of genera amongst families has hampered the adoption of this phylogenetic classification more widely. We herein provide an updated compilation of the membership of genera to suprageneric taxa based on the latest phylogenetic classifications. We propose a new taxon: subfamily Esom- inae within Danionidae, for the genus Esomus. Key words: Cyprinidae, Cobitoidei, Cyprinoidei, carps, minnows Introduction The order Cypriniformes is the most diverse order of freshwater fishes, numbering over 4400 currently recognized species (Eschmeyer & Fong 2017), and the species are of great interest in biology, economy, and in culture. Occurring throughout North America, Africa, Europe, and Asia, cypriniforms are dominant members of a range of freshwater habitats (Nelson 2006), and some have even adapted to extreme habitats such as caves and acidic peat swamps (Romero & Paulson 2001; Kottelat et al.
