  • THE COMMUNICATIVE FUNCTION of PELVIC FIN-FLICKERING in ETROPLUS MACULATUS (PISCES, CICHLIDAE) by JAMES E
    THE COMMUNICATIVE FUNCTION OF PELVIC FIN-FLICKERING IN ETROPLUS MACULATUS (PISCES, CICHLIDAE) by JAMES E. COLE1) and JACK A. WARD2) (Department of Biological Sciences, Illinois State University Normal, III., U.S.A.) (With 6 Figures) (Rec. 8-III-1969) INTRODUCTION Many studies concerning the parent-young interactions in cichlid fishes have suggested that the parents communicate with the young by signalling them either through body movements or fin movements (BREDER, 1934 ; KUENZER & KUENZER, 1962; KIRCHSHOFER, 1953, MYRBERG, 1965 ; NOBLE & CURTIS, 1939; NOBLE, KUMPF & BILLINGS, 1938 ; WARD & BARLOW, 1967). These signals elicit various responses by the young, which have led to a variety of suggestions as to the possible function of these parental move- ments. The role most commonly ascribed to this signalling behavior is that it serves as a warning to the young fish. MYRBERG (1965) reported that the young of the mouthbreeding cichlid Pelmiatochromis guentheri (Sauvage) are induced to enter their parents' mouths following a rapid flickering of the pelvic fins, lateral jerking of the body, and partial erection of the dorsal fin. According to KIRCHSHOFER (1953), a similar behavior occurs in another mouthbreeding cichlid, Haplochrornis des f ontainesii. In the subtrate breeding cichlids Aequidens latif rons (Steindachner) and Hemichr01nis bivhaculatus Gill thethe young respond to the "snapping out" of the pelvic fins by the parent either by swimming nearer to the parent or by dropping to the bottom 1) Present address: Department of Biology, Bloomsburg State College, Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, 17815, U.S.A. 2) Acknowledgements: There are many who have contributed to this investigation.

Given its close Kerala, "Reshmi" proximity to the Kochi city and to the international sea route Puthuvypeen has attracted many investment T.C. 15/1746, Forest Lane, projects in the near past. Further, of late, Government of Kerala decided to set up a mega oceanarium Vazhuthacaud Thycaud (PO) project together with a Marine Biological Research Centre at Puthuvypeen with the objective of Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, imparting awareness on the marine resources of the Arabian Sea. Though the development projects India contribute to advancements in the social and economic fronts and overall growth of the region, they may also bring in adverse effects on the environmental quality, if adequate precautions are not taken to prevent them. A comprehensive database on the baseline environmental characteristics is a pre- requisite for an integrated assessment of environmental impacts, if any, with respect to pre-construction, construction and post-construction phases of the projects. The present study which forms part of a larger integrated study was meant to collect information on fin fishes and shell fishes of the area with a view to act as a baseline data for future studies on the impact of the projects on the aquatic environment.

Biodiversity is the most significant of the resources available to man (Pushpangadan, 1999). Biodiversity encompasses the limitless array of organisms from microbes to large life forms. We owe our achievements for the past 500 years to biodiversity. Tropical regions where light and water are available in plenty are the abodes of biodiversity.
