Farlowella Acus Farlowella acus Farlowella acus, endémique de l'Amérique du Sud est une espèce de poissons de la famille des Loricariidae et Farlowella acus de l'ordre des Siluriformes. La forme des Farlowella ressemble un peu à celle des phasmes terrestres quant à leur forme et leur coloration, leur permettant de se camoufler dans leur environnement. Sommaire Répartition Taille Vue de l'avant du corps Reproduction Classification Alimentation Comportement Règne Animalia Au zoo Embranchement Chordata Galerie de photos Sous-embr. Vertebrata Notes et références Super-classe Osteichthyes Références Classe Actinopterygii Sous-classe Neopterygii Répartition Infra-classe Teleostei Cette espèce est endémique de l'Amérique du sud. En Super-ordre Ostariophysi effet on la rencontre dans le Lac de Valencia et rivière Torito au Venezuela. Également en Guyane et dans le Ordre Siluriformes 1 2 bassin de l'Amazone ' . Famille Loricariidae Taille Genre Farlowella Genre Cette espèce de Loricariidae mesure une taille 2 maximale d'environ 16 centimètres mais le plus grand Farlowella acus de cette espèce peut atteindre 25 centimètres. (Kner, 1853) Reproduction Cette espèce de Loricariidae est un pondeur d’œufs adhésif. En effet, le couple nettoie une paroi ou la femelle d f t i t it di t t fé dé l âl C’ t gé é l t d i t pond ses œufs et qui sont ensuite directement fécondé par le mâle. C’est généralement dans un environnement nocturne ou matinal que la ponte a lieu. La femelle dépose de petites rangées d’œufs parfois en petites grappes, et l'opération se répète plusieurs fois. Chaqu'un leur tour femelle et mâle frétille sur le site de ponte choisi afin de déposé les œufs ou de les fécondés. L'opération se répète plusieurs fois jusqu'à la ponte et fécondation totale des œufs. La ponte terminé regroupe entre 40 et 80 1 œufs . Ses derniers possèdent un développement assez rapide et facilement observable à travers la coquille transparente. Ainsi l'évolution tout au long de leur développement, la formation progressive du corps ou de la tête, mais surtout de leur gros yeux d'alevins ait aisément admirable. Tout au long de l’incubation, d’une durée comprise entre 6 et 10 jours – la température de l’eau influant grandement - le mâle les ventile, principalement avec sa bouche, en soufflant de l’eau mais, également avec ses nageoires pectorales. A l’éclosion - parfois aidé par le mâle à sortir de leur 1 membrane - les jeunes Un des parents reste toujours à larves vont très vite être proximité. En général, après la autonomes et se mettre à ponte, le mâle chasse la femelle rechercher de la nourriture, pour qu'il s'occupe lui-même des toutes sortes de matières œufs. organiques. Toutes les plantes de leur habitat, algues, souches (racines), ou micro- bactéries. En captivité, un apport de verdure est vivement conseiller comme notamment du concombre, des pois écrasés, de la salade verte type laitue, de la courgette. La nourriture lyophilisée traditionnels des magasins spécialisés est vivement conseillé, principalement afin d’offrir à leur croissance une plus grande diversité encore de vitamine adapté à une parfaite croissance. Reproduction en aquarium - ici Alimentation comme le plus souvent sur une paroi ou grande feuille haute. Ces poissons sont principalement végétarien et se nourrissent d'algues et de légumes ; cachets ou comprimés spécialisée pour loricariidae végétarien ; si parfois ils acceptent des 3 4 proies mais, une trop grand proportion est clairement négative ' . En aquarium communautaire de particulier, 4 il est souvent difficile de trouver un juste équilibre alimentaire, en raison de leur préférence herbivores . Comportement 1 Les farlowella sont des poissons plutôt paisibles mais craintifs voire peureux (il est important en captivité de les maintenir avec d'autres espèces pas trop remuantes). L'espérance de vie est comprise entre 7 et 12 ans.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A new species of Farlowella is described from El Carmen de Chucurí in the Departamento de Santander, western flank of the Cordillera Oriental, río Magdalena Basin, Colombia. Farlowella yarigui n. sp. differs from its congeners in lateral body plate morphology, abdominal cover, cephalic hypertrophied odontodes, and details of coloration. This is the first ver- ifiable record of the genus in the Magdalena drainage. Aspects of natural history and implications of this finding are pro- vided concerning the state of knowledge of the fishes of the río Magdalena Basin. Previous records of Farlowella gracilis in the río Cauca basin are examined and herein considered erroneous, rendering the new species the only representative of the genus in the Magdalena-Cauca system. A key to species of Farlowella from Colombia is provided.

NATIONAL MUSEUM Vol. 94 Washington: 1944 Nc 3172 THE CATFISHES OF VENEZUELA, WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF THIRTY-EIGHT NEW FORMS By Leonard P. Schultz In the winter of 1942, at the invitation of Dr. Guillermo Zuloaga, assistant cbief of explorations, Standard Oil Co. of Venezuela, Caracas, I undertook to study and make collections of fishes in the Maracaibo Basin of Venezuela. I proceeded to Venezuela under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institution and the United States Department of State and was a guest there of the Standard OH Co. of Venezuela and of the Lago Petroleum Corporation, Lago Maracaibo. To the offi- cials of these companies I must express my deep appreciation, for it was a great pleasure to accept this wonderful opportunity. This report on the catfishes of Venezuela is based on collections made by me in the Maracaibo Basin and in other localities of the country, totaling 9,920 specimens, as well as on additional specimens in the collections of the United States National Museum. It is planned to report later on the other groups of fishes represented in the collections made during this trip. I wish especially to thank the following for their aid and hospitality during the course of my work: Hon. Frank P. Corrigan, United States Ambassador, Caracas, Renwick S. McNiece, American Consul, Maracaibo, and Thomas Maleady, second secretary, American Em- bassy, Caracas, for their fuUest cooperation in helping me obtain the necessary papers connected with my extensive travels in Venezuela and making my visit to that country so pleasant; Dr.

Museo de Zoologia, Colección de Peces, Mesa de Cavaca, Guanare, Estado Portuguesa,Venezuela Research Paper Patterns of Freshwater Fishes of the Caribbean Versant of Venezuela key words: biogeographic provinces, coastal rivers, classification and ordination analyses, biodiversity, dispersion, hotspots Abstract We delineate local and regional biogeographic provinces that suggest patterns of species richness, and primary and secondary freshwater fish distributions along the Caribbean coast of Venezuela. We use presence-absence records and classification and ordination models. Patterns at local and regional scales varied markedly such that primary species dominated humid drainages and secondary species dominated arid drainages or transition provinces. Species rich areas, and the presence of narrowly endemic species correlate with patterns of historical isolation and hydrographic refuges. Patterns of species distributions across arid drainages suggest that close proximity of coastal marine drainages allows dispersion and exchange of species. This pattern is particularly evident among secondary species. Hotspots of species richness and endemisms are identified and are recommended as priorities for conservation. 1. Introduction 1.1. General Overview South America contains perhaps the greatest species richness of freshwater fishes in the world.

  • 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.
