Del mismo modo, es difícil entender los agradecimientos de una tesis hasta que pones el punto y final. Es en este momento cuando se puede percibir la gratitud que sientes a todas las personas que han estado presentes durante esa etapa, ya bien sea codo a codo o simplemente trayéndote un café calentito en el momento preciso. Pero también es cierto que, entre toda esa gente que ha estado ahí, hay pocas caras que se dibujan clara e intensamente en mi cabeza.

  • True Eels Or Freshwater Eels - Anguillidae
    ISSN 0859-290X, Vol. 5, No. 1 – September 1999 [Supplement No. 6] Even if the eels, in the perception of most people, constitute a readily recognizable group of elongated and snakelike fish, the eels do not constitute a taxonomic group. There is considerable confusion related to eels. See the following system used in "Fishes of the Cambodian Mekong" by Walther Rainboth (1996). In the Mekong, two orders (Anguilliformes and Synbranchiformes) including five eel-Iike fish families are represented: The true eels (Anguillidae), the worm eels (Ophichthidae), the dwarf swamp eels (Chaudhuriidae), the swamp eels (Synbranchidae), and the spiny eels (Mastacembelidae). Of these, the swamp eels and spiny eels are by far the most important in the fisheries. True eels or Freshwater eels - Anguillidae The name "freshwater eels", is not a good name to describe the habits of the species in this family. All the anguillid species are catadromous (a catadromous fish is bom in the sea, but lives most of its life in fresh water). The sexually mature fish migrate down to the sea to spawn, and the juveniles ("the elvers") move, sometimes for a considerable distance, up the river to find their nursery areas. The true eels, contrary to most of the other Mekong eels, have two gill openings, which are high on each side of the fish. The body is covered with small scales that are deeply embedded in the skin. Pelvic fins are absent, while pectoral fins are well developed. The long dorsal and anal fins are continuous with the caudal fin, and the fins are not preceded by any spines.

A. ABDALHAMID, Sayed MOHAMED ALI*, Ramadan, A. S. ALI, Abdalla N. ELAWAD, Esam M. K. BUZAID Marine Biology, Department of Zoology, Omar Al-Mukhtar University, Albaida, Libya. *(sayedmaia@yahoo.com). Abstract. Stomach contents of 205 Anguilla anguilla collected from Umm Hufayan brackish lagoon, eastern Libya Mediterranean Sea, during January to December 2015 were examined by points of assessment to establish food and feeding habits of the eel including annual diet composition, variation of diet composition and feeding intensity during different months and seasons and with eel length. Length of studied eels ranged from 22.5 to 44.4 cm. Major components of the diet was crustaceans, mollusks, polychaetes, echinoderms and sea grass. These items were consumed during all months of the year by eels of all lengths. Crustaceans, mainly small prawns, crabs, copepods, and amphipod made up 33.5 % of the diet, mollusks (bivalves and gastropods) 16.9 %, polychaetes 13.0 %, echinoderms 8.8 %, fishes 8.5 % and sea grass 19.3 %. Monthly variation in diet composition was as follows: In January, February and March the eels consumed crustaceans by values of 44.1 %, 42.3 % and 53.6 % respectively, mollusks by 23.3 % in October, echinoderms by 25.3 % in November, polychaetes by 23.7 % in December and fishes by 23.1 % and 21.2 % in May and July respectively.

  • American Eel (Anguilla Rostrata )
    American Eel (Anguilla rostrata ) Abstract The American eel ( Anguilla rostrata ) is a freshwater eel native in North America. Its smooth, elongated, “snake-like” body is one of the most noted characteristics of this species and the other species in this family. The American Eel is a catadromous fish, exhibiting behavior opposite that of the anadromous river herring and Atlantic salmon. This means that they live primarily in freshwater, but migrate to marine waters to reproduce. Eels are born in the Sargasso Sea and then as larvae and young eels travel upstream into freshwater. When they are fully mature and ready to reproduce, they travel back downstream into the Sargasso Sea,which is located in the Caribbean, east of the Bahamas and north of the West Indies, where they were born (Massie 1998). This species is most common along the Atlantic Coast in North America but its range can sometimes even extend as far as the northern shores of South America (Fahay 1978). Context & Content The American Eel belongs in the order of Anguilliformes and the family Anguillidae, which consist of freshwater eels. The scientific name of this particular species is Anguilla rostrata; “Anguilla” meaning the eel and “rostrata” derived from the word rostratus meaning long-nosed (Ross 2001). General Characteristics The American Eel goes by many common names; some names that are more well-known include: Atlantic eel, black eel, Boston eel, bronze eel, common eel, freshwater eel, glass eel, green eel, little eel, river eel, silver eel, slippery eel, snakefish and yellow eel. Many of these names are derived from the various colorations they have during their lifetime.

Hayward3 and Akira Kurashima4 1 Meguro Parasitological Museum, Meguro, Tokyo, Japan; 2 Japan Fisheries Resources Conservation Association, Tokyo, Japan; 3 National Centre for Marine Conservation and Resource Sustainability, Australian Maritime College, University of Tasmania, Launceston, Tasmania, Australia; 4 Department of Biological Sciences, Graduate School of Science, The University of Tokyo, Hongo, Bunkyo, Tokyo, Japan Abstract: Three species of Pseudodactylogyrus Gusev, 1965 (Monogenea: Pseudodactylogyridae) were collected from the gills of Anguilla reinhardtii Steindachner and A. australis Richardson from several localities in Australia and eels imported to Japan from Australia. Pseudodactylogyrus gusevi sp. n. from A. reinhardtii (type host) and A. australis in Queensland, Australia is most similar to P. bini (Kikuchi, 1929), but can be differentiated by the shorter male copulatory tube, heavy sclerotisation of the vaginal tube and the presence of a small projection of the supplementary piece of the hamulus. Pseudodactylogyrus rohdei sp. n. from A. australis (type host) in Queensland, Australia is most similar to P. anguillae (Yin et Sproston, 1948), but differs in the possession of a longer cement gland and the presence of a small projection on the supplementary piece of the hamulus. Pseudodactylogyrus bini sensu Gusev, 1965 and P. anguillae sensu Gusev, 1965 are synonymised with P. gusevi sp. n. and P. rohdei sp. n., respectively. Pseudodactylogyrus mun- dayi sp. n. from A. australis, originating in Tasmania, Australia and sent alive to Japan, is most similar to P.

Vassilev Institute of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Research Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, 2 Gagarin Street, 1113 Sofia, BULGARIA * Corresponding author: apostolosfish@abv.bg Abstract. In 2006 the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STEFC) of EU suggested the Black Sea region should be excluded from the list of natural areas, where the European eel (Anguilla anguilla) is distributed. The basic conception of this idea was that the eels caught in the Black Sea region represent escaped specimens from fish farming in some Danubian countries. This article illustrates an effort to be given an indirect answer on the question if Black Sea is the end of natural distribution of European eel. The species is present but never been abundant in the region and do not represent an object of commercial fishing.
