NAT. HIST. BULL. SIAM Soc. 46: 203-205. 1998 First Record of Parambassis lala (Pisces: Ambassidae) from Inle Lake, the Salween River Basin, Myanmar An ambassid fish, Parambassis LaLa(Hamilton, 1822), was originally described from "the Gangetic provinces," India. The species had been synonymized with Parambassis ranga (Hamilton, 1822) by DAY (1875) and FRASER-BRUNNER(1955) for several decades, but was recently resurrected by ROBERTS (1995). This small species is presently known only from the Ganges-Brahmaputra and Mahanadi River basins in India and the Irrawaddy (Ayeyarwaddy) River basin in Myanmar (ROBERTS, 1995). During a field survey in the Shan States, Myanmar in 1995, I collected eight specimens (18.8-26.4 mm in standard length [SL]) of an ambassid species, subsequently identified as Parambassis LaLa (Fig. 1), in a small stream connected with Inle Lake which is known by its highly specialized fauna including several endemic genera and species of fishes as well as its high altitude (3,000 feet above sea-level) and isolated environment (Annandale, 1918). The stream is located at a point just before entering the lakeside town of Yawnghwe. This is the first record of this species from the Salween (Thanlwin) River basin, and now shown to be sympatric with the Parambassis ranga reported by Roberts (1995) from Inle Lake. To date, only these two species of ambassids have been reported from this lake. The specimens are deposited in the Museum of Fisheries, Kasetsart University, Thailand (KUMF 3063) and are described briefly below. Counts and measurements followed those of HUBBS & LAGLER (1958). Head bone nomenclature is that of FRASER-BRUNNER (1955) and ROBERTS (1995). .

JIRCAS Working ReportSection No.90 Ⅳ - 2: Morioka and Vongvichith 117 Importance of resources of small-sized fishes as fundamental components of food resources and fish diversity in Lao PDR Shinsuke Morioka1, Bounsong Vongvichith2 1 Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences (JIRCAS), Tsukuba, Japan 2 Living Aquatic Resources Research Center (LRReC), National Agriculture and Forestry Research Institute of (NAFRI), Vientiane, Lao PDR Abstract Growth, reproduction, and lifespan were reviewed in three indigenous small-sized fishes in Lao PDR belonging to different taxa, Parambassis siamensis (Ambassidae), Rasbora rubrodorsalis (Cyprinidae), and Clupeichthys aesarnensis (Clupeidae). All three species were estimated to have short lifespans (< one year) and breed throughout the year with plural generation alternations within a year. Environment in high temperature accelerated initial growth in all species. In C. aesarnensis, while higher temperature was considered to lead to earlier maturation and downsizing of maturation size, evolutionary downsizing owing to overfishing was of another concern. As the recent economic development and population growth within the country has led to an increase in fish demand and deterioration of the environment, all the species are considered to be in danger of stock decline. Therefore, in the present study, some ideas for stock managements for these species based on biological aspects are discussed. Introduction Lao PDR is a country with rich resources of indigenous fish species, particularly in the basins of the Mekong River and its tributaries. Estimates of the numbers of indigenous fish species in this region range from 700 to more than 1,200 (Kottelat 2001; Sverdrup-Jensen 2002). Among these, various indigenous small-sized fishes are distributed across the country regardless of taxa.

Osmoregulation in Three Species of Ambassidae (Osteichthyes: Perciformes) from Estuaries in Natal
s. Afr. 1. Zool. 1990,25(4) 229 Osmoregulation in three species of Ambassidae (Osteichthyes: Perciformes) from estuaries in Natal T.J. Martin Coastal Research Unit of Zulu land, Department of Zoology, University of Zulu land, Kwa Dlangezwa, 3886 South Africa Received 25 July 1989; accepted 17 July 1990 Whole blood osmotic regulation was evaluated in three co-ocaming, estuarine species of Ambassis exposed to ambient salinities from fresh water (0,13%0) to 53%0. Blood molality of all three species, acclimated to fresh water, showed significant increases over the range of ambient salinities from fresh water through 5%0 and stabilized only in the range 18%..-35%0). Osmotic concentrations of all three species rose abruptly at salinities above 35%0 and no species survived direct transfer into ambient salinities above 53%0. A productus, collected in fresh water, required 24 h prior acclimation at 18%0 for survival in sea water (35%0). A gymnocephaJus acclimated in sea water showed the least tolerance of the three species to low salinities and experienced a 42% decrease in blood osmotic concentration when exposed to fresh water whereas the decrease for A. natalensis and A productus was only 20% and 23% respectively. Histological investigation of Ambassis kidneys indicated that all three species have structurally advanced kidneys of the mesonephric type common to most teleosts which spend a proportion of their lives in a hyposmotic medium. Osmotic regulatory characteristics of Ambassis species are discussed in relation to their distribution in estuaries. Die regulering van bloedosmose van die drie Ambassis-spesies wat in riviermondings voorkom en blootgestel is aan omringende water met soutgehaltes vanaf varswater (0,13%0) tot 53%0 is ge-evalueer.

Food and Feeding Habit of Some Freshwater Fishes from Are-Laung-Wei- Tode in (Lake), in Sagaing Township
1 Yadanabon University Research Journal, 2019, Vol-10, No.1 Food and Feeding Habit of Some Freshwater Fishes from Are-Laung-Wei- Tode In (Lake), in Sagaing Township Mi Mi Khaing, Khin Yee Mon Khaing** Abstract The food and feeding habits of seven fish species from Are-laung-wei-tode In (Lake) were investigated between July and December, 2017. The fish samples were collected from the local fishermen during study period. Observation of total length, standard length, body weight, relative length of alimentary canal and analysis of stomach contents were made. The relative length of alimentary canal was described in relation to feeding habit. Results from the stomach content analyzed using frequency of occurrence method show that three species were carnivores ( Mystus cavasius, Parambasis ranga, Glossogobius giuris), two species omnivores (Puntius chola, Salmophasia sardinella) and another two species herbivores (Catla catla, Trichogaster pectoralis). Key words: Food, Feeding habit, stomach content. Introduction Fish play an important role in the development of a nation. Apart from being a cheap source of highly nutritive protein, it also contains other essential nutrients required by the body.The food fish for the world population is produced from both aquaculture and capture fisheries. The fish consumed by human can either be freshwater or marine fish (Adadu et al., 2014). Feeding is the dominant activity of the entire life cycle of fish (Royce, 1972). Therefore, the study of food and feeding habits of a fish is very important. This is also essential for any fishery management. Food and feeding habit of fish are important biological factors for selecting a group of fish for culture in ponds to avoid competition for food among themselves and live in association and to utilize all the available food (Dewam and Saha,1979).

Fish diversity essentially represents the fish faunal diversity. The survey was undertaken during the period from February 2016 to july 2016 in the region of Vettathukadavu, in Kayamkulam backwater, Kerala. The major objective of this study was to find out the biodiversity status of fishes in the Vettathukadavu region of Kayamkulam backwater, Kerala. Conservation status of fishes was assessed by IUCN Conservation status. The Survey of the studied stretch of backwater were resulted in recording of 25 fish species belonging to 6 orders and 15 familes. Of the 25 species reported during the study, 15 are least concern, 1 is critically endangered, 1 is vulnerable, 6 species are not evaluated and 2 species are not reported in IUCN Red. Keywords: Icthyofauna, Biodiversity, IUCN, Endangered. 1. INTRODUCTION Fishes are the most dominant members of the lower vertebrates and constitute nearly about 35000species which inhabit the various types of water bodies. India is one of the mega biodiversity countries in the world and occupies the ninth position in terms of fresh water mega biodiversity (miltermeier and mitemier, 1997). In India there are 2500 species of fishes of which 930 live in fresh water and 1570are marine (Kar et al., 2003).
