I wish you all Ha very successful and fun-filled year in your aquaristic endeavours! For those of you thinking of becoming an OVAS club member, January is good time to join. Membership prices are discounted as we approach the half-way mark of the 2011-12 season. There are still many events to enjoy: our monthly meetings, the annual Giant Auction, our first ever Earth Day Event, and the end-of-year pig roast. We look forward to seeing newcomers take part in our live community of aquarium and pond enthusiasts! The first issue of the year hasn’t quite turned out as I had planned. My work and home schedule have been pretty hectic these past weeks, so I wasn’t able to finish two of our regular columns: “Meet the OVASians” and “Getting to know... (one of our sponsors)”. My apologies – I will make up for it in March! However, we have a great contribution from Joe Schwartz, our club’s Vice President. He has provided us with a well documented and informative article entitled “Biological Approach to Aquascaping”. The picture that graces the cover is of Joe’s 180 gallon planted tank. -
Invasive Alien Plants an Ecological Appraisal for the Indian Subcontinent
Invasive Alien Plants An Ecological Appraisal for the Indian Subcontinent EDITED BY I.R. BHATT, J.S. SINGH, S.P. SINGH, R.S. TRIPATHI AND R.K. KOHL! 019eas Invasive Alien Plants An Ecological Appraisal for the Indian Subcontinent FSC ...wesc.org MIX Paper from responsible sources `FSC C013604 CABI INVASIVE SPECIES SERIES Invasive species are plants, animals or microorganisms not native to an ecosystem, whose introduction has threatened biodiversity, food security, health or economic development. Many ecosystems are affected by invasive species and they pose one of the biggest threats to biodiversity worldwide. Globalization through increased trade, transport, travel and tour- ism will inevitably increase the intentional or accidental introduction of organisms to new environments, and it is widely predicted that climate change will further increase the threat posed by invasive species. To help control and mitigate the effects of invasive species, scien- tists need access to information that not only provides an overview of and background to the field, but also keeps them up to date with the latest research findings. This series addresses all topics relating to invasive species, including biosecurity surveil- lance, mapping and modelling, economics of invasive species and species interactions in plant invasions. Aimed at researchers, upper-level students and policy makers, titles in the series provide international coverage of topics related to invasive species, including both a synthesis of facts and discussions of future research perspectives and possible solutions.

Low Risk Aquarium and Pond Plants
Plant Identification Guide Low-risk aquarium and pond plants Planting these in your pond or aquarium is environmentally-friendly. Glossostigma elatinoides, image © Sonia Frimmel. One of the biggest threats to New Zealand’s waterbodies is the establishment and proliferation of weeds. The majority of New Zealand’s current aquatic weeds started out as aquarium and pond plants. To reduce the occurrence of new weeds becoming established in waterbodies this guide has been prepared to encourage the use of aquarium and pond plants that pose minimal risk to waterbodies. Guide prepared by Dr John Clayton, Paula Reeves, Paul Champion and Tracey Edwards, National Centre of Aquatic Biodiversity and Biosecurity, NIWA with funding from the Department of Conservation. The guides will be updated on a regular basis and will be available on the NIWA website: www.niwa.co.nz/ncabb/tools. Key to plant life-forms Sprawling marginal plants. Grow across the ground and out over water. Pond plants Short turf-like plants. Grow in shallow water on the edges of ponds and foreground of aquariums. Includes very small plants (up to 2-3 cm in height). Most species can grow both submerged (usually more erect) and emergent. Pond and aquarium plants Tall emergent plants. Can grow in water depths up to 2 m deep depending on the species. Usually tall reed-like plants but sometimes with broad leaves. Ideal for deeper ponds. Pond plants Free floating plants. These plants grow on the water surface and are not anchored to banks or bottom substrates. Pond and aquarium plants Floating-leaved plants. Water lily-type plants. -
SOME OBSERVATIONS on the IMPORTANCE of Aponogeton Rigidifolius in ENDEMIC FISH BREEDING HABITATS Iitloya
Kfflhories and Aquatic Resources, 2004 SO M E OBSERVATIONS ON THE IMPORTANCE OF Aponogeton rigidifolius IN ENDEMIC FISH BREEDING HABITATS A.S.L.E. Corea,jM.S.S. Jayasekara and N.N.E Cooray Notional Aquatic Resources Research and Development agency (NARA), Crow Island, Mattakkuliya, Colombo 15, Sri Lanka Aponogeton rigidifolius is an endemic aquatic plant with thin long laiives extending to over 0.5m in length. This species is mainly found in ilroams in the wet zone. Fish species associated with A.' rigidifolius were sampled using a drag net made of mosquito netting material. The net was dragged 10 times And the mean number of fish caught per net was recorded. In areas with a dShse population of A. rigidifolius (82 ± 6.33 plants / m2) with leaf size 46 ± 10.2 cm, the number of R. vaterifloris collected per net sample was 32 ± 5.6. The size range of fish collected was 0.8 - 3.0 cm. In the areas with dense patches of A. rigidifolius, the dominant species was R. vaterifloris. The number of R. vaterifloris caught per net sample in areas where there were no A. rigidifolius was <10, and the size range of fish in these areas was 1.4 * 2,8 cm. The fry which were <1.2 cm in total length were found only in siBIOciation with A. rigidifolius. They were found in these habitats throughout lb® year. A total of 600 plants of A. rigidifolius was introduced to a site of 10 m® In the same stream devoid of vegetation. At the point of introduction two inclemic species, namely Belontia signata (size 1.5 - 6.0 cm, 14±2.33 fish / hffit) and Puntius titteya (size 1.5 - 3.0 cm, 6+1.1 fish / net) were observed at lb® site of introduction. -
Investigations Into the Potential of Plant Tissue Culture for the Development of Diesel-Resistant Petunia Grandiflora Juss
Investigations into the potential of plant tissue culture for the development of diesel-resistant Petunia grandiflora Juss. mix F1 and Marigold-Nemo mix (Tagetes patula L.) plants A thesis submitted in the partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biotechnology at the University of Canterbury by Solomon Peter Wante 2019 ABSTRACT Anthropogenic use of petroleum hydrocarbons has contributed to the toxic cocktails of pollutants that could threaten the sustainability of biodiversity on the Earth. For example, there are many studies showing the toxic effects of diesel on humans and plants. Considering that plants can provide many beneficial services to the ecosystem, it would be a worthwhile contribution if diesel-resistant plants could be identified from germplasm screening or be developed with the aid of plant biotechnology such as plant tissue culture. In particular, if diesel-resistant non-food plants such as ornamental plants could be developed, the resistant plants might be deployed to add economic value to the land contaminated with diesel. With the long-term goal of producing plants that can be used in phytoremediation of diesel-contaminated land, the present project was initiated to investigate the possibility of using plant tissue culture techniques to generate diesel-resistant Petunia grandiflora (petunia) and Tagetes patula (marigold). There was no prior study on the effect of diesel on petunia and marigold, and therefore, the present work began investigating the relative sensitivity of petunia and marigold seeds and seedlings to water contaminated with 0–4% diesel in Petri dishes under controlled laboratory conditions. Generally, in the presence of 0.5% to 4% diesel, there was a delay in the speed of seed germination of both marigold and petunia. -
