  • Testing Conjectures About Morphological Diversity in Cichlids of Lakes Malawi and Tanganyika
    Copeia, 2005(2), pp. 359±373 Testing Conjectures about Morphological Diversity in Cichlids of Lakes Malawi and Tanganyika PROSANTA CHAKRABARTY The morphological diversity of Malawi and Tanganyika cichlids has often been qualitatively described, but rarely have hypotheses based on these descriptions been tested empirically. Using landmark based geometric morphometrics, shapes are an- alyzed independent of other aspects of the body form (e.g., size). The estimation of shape disparity, the quantitative measure of the variance of these raw shapes, can then be applied in order to objectively test hypotheses about morphological diver- sity. The shape disparity within and between different groups is explored as well as how it is partitioned within the cichlid body. Tanganyika cichlids are found to have signi®cantly greater shape disparity than Malawi cichlids. Ectodini is found to have signi®cantly greater shape disparity than other Great Lake tribes. Piscivorous cich- lids are signi®cantly more disparate in shape than cichlids with other diets, and the shape disparity of the cranial region was signi®cantly greater than that of the post- cranial region. ``We begin by describing the shape of an object in Lake cichlids have been described (Bouton et the simple words of common speech: we end by al., 2002a; Wautier et al., 2002; Kassam et al., de®ning it in the precise language of mathemat- 2003a) including evidence of convergence of ics; and the one method tends to follow the other these elements between lakes (RuÈber and Ad- in strict scienti®c order and historical continui- ams, 2001; Kassam et al., 2003b); however, those ty.''±D'Arcy Thompson, 1917 (On Growth studies dealt only with patterns of morphologi- and Form) cal diversity rather than with its magnitude.

These globally distributed microorganisms can cause diseases in humans and animals, especially fish. The increase in the number of species belonging to MFG and the diagnostic techniques panel do not allow to clarify their real clinical significance. In this study, biomolecular techniques were adopted for species determination of 130 isolates derived from fish Citation: Mugetti, D.; Tomasoni, M.; initially identified through biochemical tests as NTM belonging to MFG.

  • Cichlids Correct Feeding for a Good Husbandry
    Cichlids correct feeding for a good husbandry www.JBL.de Dear Cichlid-friend, We have produced this brochure in order to make easier for you to give your cichlids the right food and care for this species. With about 2.000 varieties of cichlid, all types of eating habits are represented here: from plant-eaters to omnivorous species to pure predators. Giving the right food makes sense, as the wrong food will be excreted by the fish un- digested (or partially digested). Incorrect feeding is proven to lead to increased water pollution. Clean (unpolluted) water free of ammonium/ ammonia and nitrite is a basic requirement of successful aquarium- keeping – special water qualities are often only essential for breeding. Wishing you continued pleasure from this fascinating group of fish!

  • Perciformes, Cichlidae) of East Africa, Based on Scale and Squamation Characters
    Journal of Fish Biology (1993) 42, 903-946 A phyletic study on lacustrine haplochromine fishes (Perciformes, Cichlidae) of East Africa, based on scale and squamation characters E. L i p p i t s c h Steingrabenweg 26, A-8044 Graz, Austria (.Received 10 August 1992, Accepted 13 October 1992) Phyletic relations within the haplochromine cichlids of East Africa were investigated vising scale and squamation characters. Within the L. Victoria-Edward-Kivu species flock most of the genera proposed in Greenwood’s revision could be confirmed by this approach. In addition the genera could be interrelated phylogenetically. They form two distinct superlineages comprising several genera each. The genus Axtatoiilapia as conceived by Greenwood is diphyletic. The fluviatile members of the genus form the sister taxon of the L. Victoria-Edward-Kivu flock, while the rest are a subgroup of that flock. The flock seems to be of monophyletic origin. Key words: scale morphology; squamation; phylogenetic relationships; haplochromine fishes; Cichlidae. I. INTRODUCTION When in his classic paper of 1920 C. T. Regan expressed his opinion on Haplochromis, being the ‘ largest African genus ’ (Regan, 1920), he determined the direction for the next 60 years of systematics in East African cichlids. That genus, introduced by Hilgendorf (1888) as a subgenus of Chromis to accommodate a Lake Victoria species with peculiar dentition, became a dumping ground for over 300 species from all over the continent. Regan’s authority prevented any large-scale revision of the complex until 1979. This is the more astonishing as no formal diagnosis for the genus was available, and the only apomorph character uniting the whole assembly (the structure of the pharyngeal apophysis) is found in a number of other genera as well.

The whole mitogenome of most species was amplified as three fragments using the following primer sets: for the region between position 2 500 bp and 7 300 bp (of mitogenome starting with tRNA-Phe), we used forward primers ZM2500F (5'-ACG ACC TCG ATG TTG GAT CAG GAC ATC C-3'), L2508KAW (Kawaguchi et al. 2001) or S-LA-16SF (Miya & Nishida 2000) and reverse primer ZM7350R (5'-TTA AGG CGT GGT CGT GGA AGT GAA GAA G-3').

  • Relationship Between Local and Scientific Names of Fishes in Lake Malawi / Nyasa
    22-3/2 03.4.8 4:25 PM ページ123 African Study Monographs, 22(3): 123-154, September 2001 123 RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LOCAL AND SCIENTIFIC NAMES OF FISHES IN LAKE MALAWI / NYASA Aggrey AMBALI1, Harvey KABWAZI1, Lawrence MALEKANO2, George MWALE1, Davie CHIMWAZA1, John INGAINGA1, Naoki MAKIMOTO1, Setsuko NAKAYAMA3, Masahide YUMA4, Yukiko KADA5 1Biology Department, Chancellor College, University of Malawi 2History Department, Chancellor College, University of Malawi 3Graduate School of Asian and African Area Studies, Kyoto University 4Center for Ecological Research, Kyoto University 5Lake Biwa Museum ABSTRACT An interview survey was carried out in 20 Malawian lakeside villages from 1999 to 2000 to clarify the relationship between local and scientific names of the fishes in Lake Malawi/Nyasa. Fishermen in various localities responded with 536 local fish names for photographs shown of 106 fish species and color morphs. Similarity analysis of local name usage produced three groups of localities corresponding with the Tonga, Tumbuka, and Nyanja/Yao languages. A single scientific fish species had 10.2 local fish names, while one local fish name covered 2.0 scientific fish species, and 64.3% of local fish names were used only for one scientific species. A few local fish names were used widely irrespective of lan- guage, although 69.5% of local fish names were collected only from one locality. These facts suggest that lakeside residents identify fish at the biological taxonomy level, although the naming was specific to a particular locality. Most fishes with a high variety of local names were shallow-water dwelling species with low local market values, whereas fishes with fewer local names were mainly offshore species of high commercial value.
