  • Year of the Catfish with the Intention of Writing an Article Relating to Some Aspect of Catfish in the Aquarium on a Monthly Basis
    YYeeaarr ooff tthhee CCaattffiisshh A monthly column about Catfish Talking... (Doradidae) by Derek Tustin (Author’s Note: I started The Year of the Catfish with the intention of writing an article relating to some aspect of Catfish in the aquarium on a monthly basis. Last month, April 2013, I did not. I know this caused a bit of consternation on the part of Klaus Steinhaus, the editor of Tank Talk, and he had to find another article to fill the space. As such, I offer both he and the readers of Tank Talk my sincere apologies and to make up for it, give you a double helping of The Year of the Catfish this month. – Derek P.S. Tustin) o you have that one fish species of fish that you have Agamyxis pectinifrons D an unbridled affinity for? That one special species that just strikes a chord with you that you want to keep no matter what? Perhaps something that you have kept every time the opportunity presents? I think we all have a small group of species that no matter how unattractive other aquarists may find them, we want to keep them. I think you all know by now my absolute fascination with rainbowfish, and the extent that I am willing to go to obtain certain species. Given that, you might be surprised to know that my “soft-spot species” isn’t a rainbowfish, but rather a catfish, specifically the White-Spotted Doradid, Agamyxis pectinifrons. (Or it actually might be… but I’ll get to that in a bit.) Agamyxis pectinifrons is a member of the Doradidae family.

In the present study, we sequenced the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene (cyt b) and control region (CR) and compared their rates in 93 specimens representing 67 species of loaches and some related taxa in the Cobitoidea (Order Cypriniformes). The results showed that sequence divergences of the CR were broadly higher than those of the cyt b (about 1.83 times). However, in considering only closely related species, CR sequence evolution was slower than that of cyt b gene (ratio of CR/cyt b is 0.78), a pattern that is found to be very common in Cypriniformes. Combined data of the cyt b and CR were used to estimate the phylogenetic relationship of the Cobitoidea by maximum parsimony, neighbor-joining, and Bayesian methods.

  • Overwintering Habitat Selection of Asiatic Toad, Bufo Gargarizans in Southwestern China

Department of Zoology, College of Life Sciences, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072 Hubei Province, China. E-mail: [email protected] 2. College of Life Sciences, China West Normal University, Sichuan, China. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. We studied overwintering habitats selection of Bufo gargarizans during 2005-2008 in southwestern China. Our results showed most toads buried themselves in the ground. By comparing hibernation and post-reproductive dormancy sites, we found that the latter was closer to ponds with higher vegetable cover and shallower than hibernation sites. It indirect proves that toads consume large energy in the breeding season and a small quantity remains for the dormancy period. Keywords: Bufo gargarizans; hibernation site; post-reproductive dormancy site. Introduction snout-to-vent length (SVL) of 98.22 ± 1.43 mm (range 73.6 - 137 mm), and the males have 87.32 ± 0.94 mm Anurans are haematocryal animals without body (range 66 - 117 mm). The body mass of females can temperature regulative capability (Pinder et al. 1992), so reach 160.72 ± 18.73 g (range 112 - 315 g), males have they are vulnerable to freezing conditions and must 83.12 ± 4.2 g (range 52.1 - 138.59 g) in the breeding select suitable habitats unlikely to freeze.

However, its roles in fishes are far less examined and Genomic survey published. In the present study, we identified two kcnk3 genes (kcnk3a and kcnk3b) in an euryhaline fish, Nile Phylogenetic analysis tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), by molecular cloning, genomic survey and laboratory experiments to investigate Tissue distribution their potential roles for osmoregulation. We obtained full-length coding sequences of the kcnk3a and kcnk3b kcnk3 cluster Osmoregulation genes (1209 and 1173 bp), which encode 402 and 390 amino acids, respectively. Subsequent multiple sequence Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) alignments, putative 3D-structure model prediction, genomic survey and phylogenetic analysis confirmed that two kcnk3 paralogs are widely presented in fish genomes.
