This is a revised and updated checklist of the parasites of medaka published in Japanese in 2012. The parasites, including 27 nominal species and those not identified to species level, are listed by higher taxa as follows: Ciliophora (no. of nominal species: 6), Cestoda (1), Monogenea (1), Trematoda (9), Nematoda (3), Bivalvia (5), Acari (0), Copepoda (1), and Branchiura (1). For each parasite species listed, the following information is given: its currently recognized scientific name, any original combination, synonym(s), or other previous identification used for the parasite from medaka; site(s) of infection within or on the host; known geographical distribution in Japanese waters; and the published source of each record. A skin monogenean, Gyrodatylus sp., has been encountered in research facilities and can be regarded as one of the most important parasites of laboratory-reared medaka in Japan. -

Selain itu, pemerintah juga telah melakukan introduksi ikan ke perairan umum untuk kesejahteraan masyarakat. Sejauh ini catatan iktiofauna air tawar di Sulteng belum terangkum dengan baik. Oleh karena itu, kami menelusuri hasil penelitian terdahulu tentang jenis ikan di 11 danau dan sungai inletnya di Sulteng. Danau (D) tersebut yaitu D. Bolano (Bolanosau), D. Lindu, D. Poso, D. Rano, D. Rano Kodi dan D. Rano Bae, Danau Sibili, D. Talaga (Dampelas), D. Kalimpa’a (Tambing), D. Tiu dan D. Wanga. Selain itu, kami juga melakukan pengamatan ikan di tujuh danau antara tahun 2012-2019. Penangkapan ikan menggunakan jaring lempar, jaring pantai, pukat insang dan pancing. Hasil rangkuman dan pengamatan menunjukkan bahwa terdapat 18 famili dan 27 genus ikan di 11 danau dan sungai inletnya di Sulteng. -
Beloniformes, Adrianichthyidae) Endemic to Sulawesi, Indonesia( Digest 要約 )
Phylogenetic and taxonomic studies of the medaka Title (Beloniformes, Adrianichthyidae) endemic to Sulawesi, Indonesia( Digest_要約 ) Author(s) Mokodongan, Daniel Frikli Citation Issue Date 2016-09 URL http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12000/35389 Rights Abstract Although the family Adrianichthyidae is broadly distributed throughout East and Southeast Asia, 19 endemic species are distributed in Sulawesi, which is an island in Wallacea. However, it remains unclear how Adrianichthyidae biodiversity hotspot was shaped. Moreover, seven of the 19 endemic species were described within this decade, suggesting that we still do not know the full picture of the biodiversity of this family in this small island ofthe Indo-Australian Archipelago. First, I reconstructed molecular phylogenies for the Sulawesi adrianichthyids and estimated the divergence times of major lineages to infer the detailed history of their origin and subsequent intra-island diversification. The mitochondrial and nuclear phylogenies revealed that Sulawesi adrianichthyids are monophyletic, which indicates that they diverged from a single common ancestor. Species in the earliest branching lineages are currently distributed in the central and southeastern parts of Sulawesi, indicating that the common ancestor colonized Sula Spur, which is a large promontory that projects from the Australian continental margin, from Asia by tectonic dispersal c.a. 20 Mya. The first diversification event on Sulawesi, the split of the genus Adrianichthys, occurred c.a. 16 Mya, and resulted in the nesting of the genus Adrianichthys within Oryzias. Strong geographic structure was evident in the phylogeny; many species in the lineages branching off early are riverine and widely distributed in the southeastern and southwestern arms of Sulawesi, which suggests that oversea dispersal between tectonic subdivisions of this island during the late Miocene (7-5 Mya) contributed to the distributions and diversification of the early branching lineages. -

Six distinct species are recognized. Keys, descriptions and illustrations of the species are presented. Morphological differences between and within all six species are clarified. Twenty-two morphometric characters and ten meristic characters were examined, and 14 morphometric and nine meristic characters were found to differ amongst the six species. Anal-fin ray numbers of O. cellebensis, O. javanicus, O. dancena, O. minutillus, O. latipes and O. mekongensis were 22, 23, 24, 19, 18 and 15, respectively. These differences suggest that the six species may be reproductively isolated from each other. KEY WORDS: Oryzias, Revision, Morphological difference, Cluster analysis four species are known from Thailand, Laos, INTRODUCTION Myanmar, and Vietnam, but eleven species are found from Indonesia and one species in Ricefish of the genus Oryzias belong to Japan (Magtoon, 1986; Roberts, 1998; the family Adrianichthyidae and are widely Kotellat 2001a, b; Parenti and Soeroto, 2004; distributed in South, East and Southeast Asia Parenti, 2008). and southwards to Sulawesi and the Timor Recently, there have been several studies islands (Yamamoto, 1975; Labhart, 1978; published on various aspects of Oryzias Uwa and Parenti, 1988; Chen et al., 1989; biology, for instance on the comparative Uwa, 1991a; Roberts, 1989, 1998). -

Oryzias hadiatyae, new species, is known only from this single lake. It differs from all other adrianichthyids in Sulawesi in having a well marked concavity on the snout, a slender but relatively wide body with elongated snout and slightly upwardly directed mouth, pelvic fi ns with 5–6 fi n rays and anal fi n with 19–22 fi n rays, both inserting relatively close to the rear end of the body, dorsal fi n with 8–10 rays inserted above 10–12th anal fi n ray, 28–30 vertebrae, only 27–31 lateral scales, dark brown blotches on the lateral body in adult males, and no blotches in females. This brings the number of ricefi sh species in Sulawesi to 16 (four Adrianichthys, 12 Oryzias), with four endemic lacustrine Oryzias in the Malili Lakes system. In addition, the riverine ricefi sh Oryzias celebensis, known so far only from Sulawesi’s southwestern arm and a single river in East Timor, is here reported for the fi rst time from a drainage in Central Sulawesi. -

The new species differs from all other Nomorhamphus in anal-fi n morphology of adult males. The third or fourth segment of the second anal-fi n ray is composed of two rows of subsegments, giving the third or fourth segment the appearance of being split into two rays. The spiculus is curved dorsally and contacts the distal segments of the third anal-fi n ray with its proximal and middle segments; the distal segments are curved ventrally, giving the spiculus a sickle-like shape. Appearance and colouration of Nomorhamphus rex are similar to N. kolonodalensis and N. ebrardtii, from which it is distinguished by the shape of the andropodium and in having a relatively longer lower jaw. This description brings the number of Nomorhamphus endemic to Sulawesi to ten.
