A Selected Bibliography on Tilapia (Pisces: Cichlidae) A list of documents available in the WorldFish Center Library formerly known as “ICLARM - The World Fish Center” Our Commitment: to contribute to food security and poverty eradication in developing countries. A Way to Achieve This: through research, partnership, capacity building and policy support, we promote sustainable development and use of living aquatic resources based on environmentally sound management. We believe this work will be most successful when undertaken in partnership with governments and nongovernment institutions and with the participation of the users of the research results. i A Selected Bibliography on Tilapia (Pisces: Cichlidae) A list of documents available in the WorldFish Center Library 2003 Published by WorldFish Center PO Box 500 GPO 10670 Penang, Malaysia WorldFish Center. 2003.

WorldFish Center is one of the 16 international research centers of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) that has initiated the public awareness campaign, Future Harvest. ii INTRODUCTION Tilapia, a group of freshwater fish that are farmed worldwide in tropical and subtropical countries, have emerged as the second most important fish produced in aquaculture after the carps. Because of their impor- tance as a source of protein for millions of poor people from developing countries and recently as a globally traded commodity, much enthusiasm and research efforts have been given to them. Research by the WorldFish Center and its partners on tilapia began in the late 1970s and focused on key issues that affect their production and conservation. Through joint efforts with partners from many parts of the world, the outputs from these studies have played an important role in the overall progress that has been made on tilapia research and development. The WorldFish Center library as part of its effort to serve the information needs of the Center staff, partners and other external users worldwide, has been acquiring documentation on the subject. Such documen- tation ranges from published/unpublished documents, theses, journal articles, to reports and conference pa- pers. This bibliography covers all publications available in the WorldFish library on tilapia and is a revision of Tilapia: A Selected Bibliography published by the Center in 2001. This volume covers a total of 1977 refer- ences. Entries are arranged alphabetically by author and numbered sequentially. Author, subject, taxonomy and geographic indexes are provided to facilitate cross-referencing The reference materials used in compiling this bibliography are Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Thesau- rus: desriptors used in FAO’s Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Information System, and AGROVOC: a multi- lingual thesaurus of agricultural terminology. The citation style used for the bibliographic entries is based on the Center’s library bibliographic worksheet. A list of abbreviated periodical titles used is included. It is hoped that this volume will serve as a useful source of reference to researchers, scientists and anyone who is interested in tilapia research.

The tags 'Possibly Extinct' and 'Possibly Extinct in the Wild' have therefore been developed to identify those Critically Endangered species that are, on the balance of evidence, likely to be extinct (or extinct in the wild). These species cannot be listed as EX or EW until their extinction can be confirmed (i.e., until adequate surveys have been carried out and have failed to record the species and local or unconfirmed reports have been investigated and discounted). All 'Possibly Extinct' and 'Possibly Extinct in the Wild' species on the current IUCN Red List are listed in the table below, along the year each assessment was carried out and, where available, the date each species was last recorded in the wild. Where the last record is an unconfirmed report, last recorded date is noted as "possibly".

The common name ‘tilapia’ refers to a group of tropical freshwater fish in the family Cichlidae (Oreochromis, Tilapia, and Sarotherodon spp.) that are indigenous to Africa and the southwestern Middle East. Since the 1930s, tilapias have been intentionally dispersed worldwide for the biological control of aquatic weeds and insects, as baitfish for certain capture fisheries, for aquaria, and as a food fish. They have most recently been promoted as an important source of protein that could provide food security for developing countries without the environmental problems associated with terrestrial agriculture. In addition, market demand for tilapia in developed countries such as the United States is growing rapidly. 2. Tilapias are well-suited to aquaculture because they are highly prolific and tolerant to a range of environmental conditions. They have come to be known as the ‘aquatic chicken’ because of their potential as an affordable, high-yield source of protein that can be easily raised in a range of environments } from subsistence or ‘backyard’ units to intensive fish hatcheries.

    Out of Lake Tanganyika: Endemic Lake Fishes Inhabit Rapids of the Lukuga River

Freshwaters, Vol. 22, No. 4, pp. 355-376, 5 figs., 3 tabs., December 2011 © 2011 by Verlag Dr. Friedrich Pfeil, München, Germany – ISSN 0936-9902 Out of Lake Tanganyika: endemic lake fishes inhabit rapids of the Lukuga River Sven O. Kullander* and Tyson R. Roberts** The Lukuga River is a large permanent river intermittently serving as the only effluent of Lake Tanganyika. For at least the first one hundred km its water is almost pure lake water. Seventy-seven species of fish were collected from six localities along the Lukuga River. Species of cichlids, cyprinids, and clupeids otherwise known only from Lake Tanganyika were identified from rapids in the Lukuga River at Niemba, 100 km from the lake, whereas downstream localities represent a Congo River fish fauna. Cichlid species from Niemba include special- ized algal browsers that also occur in the lake (Simochromis babaulti, S. diagramma) and one invertebrate picker representing a new species of a genus (Tanganicodus) otherwise only known from the lake. Other fish species from Niemba include an abundant species of clupeid, Stolothrissa tanganicae, otherwise only known from Lake Tangan- yika that has a pelagic mode of life in the lake. These species demonstrate that their adaptations are not neces- sarily dependent upon the lake habitat. Other endemic taxa occurring at Niemba are known to frequent vegetat- ed shore habitats or river mouths similar to the conditions at the entrance of the Lukuga, viz. Chelaethiops minutus (Cyprinidae), Lates mariae (Latidae), Mastacembelus cunningtoni (Mastacembelidae), Astatotilapia burtoni, Ctenochromis horei, Telmatochromis dhonti, and Tylochromis polylepis (Cichlidae). The Lukuga frequently did not serve as an ef- fluent due to weed masses and sand bars building up at the exit, and low water levels of Lake Tanganyika.

THARME, MICHELE THIEME, KLEMENT TOCKNER, MARK WRIGHT, AND LUCY YOUNG Despite their limited spatial extent, freshwater ecosystems host remarkable biodiversity, including one-third of all vertebrate species. This biodiversity is declining dramatically: Globally, wetlands are vanishing three times faster than forests, and freshwater vertebrate populations have fallen more than twice as steeply as terrestrial or marine populations. Threats to freshwater biodiversity are well documented but coordinated action to reverse the decline is lacking. We present an Emergency Recovery Plan to bend the curve of freshwater biodiversity loss. Priority actions include accelerating implementation of environmental flows; improving water quality; protecting and restoring critical habitats; managing the exploitation of freshwater ecosystem resources, especially species and riverine aggregates; preventing and controlling nonnative species invasions; and safeguarding and restoring river connectivity.
