We are a local group of aquatic enthusiasts. Formed in 1952, the Greater Akron Aquarium Society is a non -profit, non-commercial organization. Our membership ranges from the beginning hobbyist to the advanced aquarist with many years of experience. The goals of our club are to promote the care, study, breeding and exhibition of aquarium related aquatic life and to promote interest in the aquarium hobby. MEETINGS: Our meetings are held on the first Thursday of each month at 8:00 p.m. at the Mogadore Community/Senior Center, 3857 Mogadore Road, Mogadore, Ohio. It is located East of Route 532 across from McDonald’s in the former post office building. Visitors are always welcome, it costs absolutely nothing to attend a meeting and look us over. MEMBERSHIP: The cost is only $10 for adults, a couple or a family (includes children under 10 years of age) and $5.00 for a junior membership (10 to 17 years) Membership provides an opportunity to socialize with others that share your interests, a subscription to our bi -monthly magazine and more. AGEND A: Our meeting agenda is simple and informal. The meeting will begin at 8:00 p.m. with a short business meeting. Immediately following is the program for the evening which usually lasts about 45 minutes. Our programs consist of a speaker, slide program, movie or perhaps a panel discussion always on a particular subject related to the hobby or various species of fish. Following the program is a short refreshment break. After which the winners of the Bowl Show are announced, the Breeder’s Award Program fish are auctioned and tickets are drawn for the raffle. THE BOWL SHOW: Each month members can bring in fish for specific classes to compete for first, second and third place awards. The charge for each entry is only $.25. Members also compete for annual awards by accumulating wins throughout the year. BREEDER’S AWARD and HORTICULTURE AWARD PROGRAMS: members can receive recognition for spawning species of fish or propagating aquatic plants. All that is required is to turn in a minimum of six fry from the spawn that are between 30 and 90 days old. Members earn certificates for each species and can work towards plaques in different categories. EQUIPMENT RAFFLE: The raffle table has such items as tanks, fish food and aquarium accessories that are donated by national manufacturers, area dealers or purchased by the Society. Tickets may be purchased by anyone attending the meeting. Save your losing tickets for the Christmas Party raffle. ANNUAL SHOW: The Ultra-Aqua show is held during the summer at the Tallmadge community Center. This has become one of the largest all -species tropical fish shows in North America. It is an international gathering of hobbyists to display their fish in class competition, talk fish and to learn about the hobby from each other.

Montambault, and Reinaldo Lourival, THE FIELD MUSEUM Editors, Editores MUSEU DE ZOOLOGIA, UNIVERSIDADE DE SÃO PAULO EMBRAPA UNIVERSIDADE FEDERAL DE MATO GROSSO DO SUL CONSERVATION PRIORITIES: THE ROLE OF RAP Our planet faces many serious environmental problems, among them global climate change, soil erosion, and pollution. At Conservation International (CI), we believe that there is one problem that surpasses all others in terms of importance because of its irreversibility, the extinction of biological diversity. Conservation efforts still receive only a tiny fraction of the resources, both human and financial, needed to get the job done. As a result of this, we must use available resources efficiently, applying them to those places with the highest concentrations of diversity that are at most immediate risk of disappearing. CI uses a strategic approach for setting conservation investment priorities. At a global level, we have targeted the “hotspots”, twenty-five areas that hold a third or more of all terrestrial diversity and are at a great risk. Our global priorities also focus on major tropical wilderness areas and the “mega-diversity” country concept, which highlights the importance of the national entities that harbor high biodiversity. We are now undertaking a series of priority-setting exercises for other major categories of ecosystems, among them marine systems, freshwater aquatic systems, deserts, and dry forests.

Otocinclus mimulus has been confused with O. flexilis up till now. Otocinclus mimulus mimics O. diphyes. The mimesis is unusual because the two species occupy different microhabitats and it is hypothesized to operate with a primarily visual predator moving between the microhabitats, tentatively identified as the cichlid Crenicichla lepidota. The mimetic association expressed by C. diphyes and O. mimulus extends to other species pairs of the same genera in southern South America with similarly impressive agreement in coloration, but the operating mechanism is not known in these pairs. In a cladistic analysis of Otocinclus using morphological characters, O. mimulus is included in a clade consisting also of O. flexilis and O. affinis. Addition of mimetic similarity results in a single most parsimonious tree with O. mimulus, O. flexilis, O. affinis and O. xakriaba forming a monophyletic group. Introduction purpose of this paper is to describe the new taxa and to discuss their mimetic association.

  • Analysis of the Ornamental Fish Exports from the Amazon State, Brazil*
    BOLETIM DO INSTITUTO DE PESCA ISSN 1678-2305 online version Scientific Article ANALYSIS OF THE ORNAMENTAL FISH EXPORTS FROM THE AMAZON STATE, BRAZIL* ABSTRACT The updated status of the ornamental fish trade from the Amazonas state was analyzed between Ivan de Azevedo TRIBUZY-NETO1 the years of 2006-2015 (IBAMA database). The trade of ornamental fish from Amazonas State mainly consists of wild species. A total of 142,552,253 specimens were exported during the studied Hélio BELTRÃO2* period. Sales plummeted since 2006 from 26,075,241 specimens exported to 2,729,846 specimens Zehev Schwartz BENZAKEN3 in 2015 (Jan-Jul). Between 2006 and 2015, a total of US$ 23.0 million in revenue was generated from fish exports destined to 35 countries. Germany, Taiwan, USA and Japan accounted for 75.5% of Kedma Cristine YAMAMOTO2 the volume and 76.7% of the value exported. During this time 375 species were exported, included Paracheirodon axelrodi, P. simulans, Hemigrammus bleheri, Otociclus affinis and O. hoppei that together represented 84.5% of exports. Thirty of them are not on the list of Brazilian Institute of the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources - IBAMA species released for export, and six are currently on the list of endangered fauna of Brazil: Hopliancistrus tricornis, Leporacanthicus joselimai, Parancistrus nudiventris, Peckoltia compta, Scobinancistrus auratus and S. pariolispos. 1 Universidade Federal do Amazonas – UFAM, Laboratório The collection of this information can help producers, managers and environmentalists in the de Ictiologia – LABIC.
