Infinite thanks go to my supervisor and promoter Prof. Dr. Dominique Adriaens, who gave me the opportunity to start and complete my doctoral thesis in his research group. He not only greatly increased my insight in biology, especially in the wonderful world of vertebrate morphology, but he also is a truly inspiring scientist and person. His corrections and comments, that filled all spaces between my double-lined manuscripts with different colors, not only brought my writing to a higher level, but also gave more color to my personal and scientific experience. His unfailing enthusiasm and patience could always motivate me and I truly find it hard to find proper words to express my gratitude to him. “Thank you very much, best teacher I ever had.” I am deeply indebted to Prof. Dr. Walter Verraes for his help, especially when I arrived in Belgium. I wish to express my thanks to Prof. Dr. Ann Huysseune for increasing my knowledge of histology. My sincere thanks go to my colleagues in the research group ‘Evolutionary Morphology of Vertebrates’, Dr. Tom Geerinckx, Dr. Natalie De Schepper, Dr. Frank Huysentruyt, Dr. Stijn Devaere, Barbara De Kegel, Joachim Christiaens,

Since the work of J.J. Heckel (1846-1849), the number of valid species has increased significantly and the systematic status of many of the species has changed, and reorganization and updating of the published information has become essential. Here we take the opportunity to provide a new and updated checklist of freshwater fishes of Iran based on literature and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history and new fish collections. This article lists 288 species in 107 genera, 28 families, 22 orders and 3 classes reported from different Iranian basins. However, presence of 23 reported species in Iranian waters needs confirmation by specimens.

However, little is known of its reproductive information regarding spawning pattern and season that could possibly explain its success as an invasive species. This research is the first presentation of its reproductive characteristics, which was conducted based on 235 individuals collected monthly throughout a year from Sefid River, in the southern Caspian Sea basin. Age, sex ratio, fecundity, oocytes diameter and gonado-somatic index were calculated. Regression analyses were used to find relations among fecundity and fish size, gonad weight (Wg) and age. The mature males and females were longer than 93.0 and 99.7mm in total length, respectively (+1 in age). The average egg diameter ranged from 0.4mm (April) to 1.1mm (August). Spawning took place in August, when the water temperature was 23 to 26°C.

Corresponding author: W. P. Soetignya, [email protected] Abstract. A study was carried out to determine ovarian development and spawning of Hampala bimaculata. During the study period, 124 females of the fish samples were collected from February to October 2013 and the collection continued from July to November 2014 using gill nets and anglings. Sampling site in Betung Kerihun National Park, West Kalimantan Province, Indonesia included Embaloh and Sibau watersheds. Spawning characteristics of the fish were determined by histological investigation of ovaries and the distribution of oocyte diameter-frequency. Analysis of macroscopic and histological observations showed that the ovaries were classified into five stages: immature or resting, maturing, mature, ripe, and spawned-recovering. The spawning season was estimated to be from July to October based on seasonal changes in maturity frequency of females and monthly variations in the gonadosomatic index. Histological observation showed that the fish is an iteroparous with a group- synchronous of ovarian development. The polymodal distribution of oocyte diameter during the breeding season and the presence of cells in the vitellogenic oocytes of different sizes at the spawned stage indicated that H.

Corresponding author: *E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This checklist aims to list all the reported Iranian inland fishes. It lists 297 species in 109 genera, 30 families, 24 orders and 3 classes reported from different Iranian basins. However, presence of 23 reported species in Iranian waters needs confirmation by specimens. The most diverse order is Cypriniformes (176 species, 59.3%), followed by Gobiiformes (42 species, 14.1%), Cyprinodontiformes (19 species, 6.4%), and Clupeiformes (11 species, 3.7%). Ninety-five endemic species (32%) in 7 families and 29 exotic species (9.76%) in 11 families are listed here. Keywords: Fish diversity, Distribution, Taxonomy, Systematics, Endemic species, Exotic species. Zoobank: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:A3B80E3F-D636-4A2F-B82B-B966FE083437 Introduction The territory of Iran is important from a zoogeographical point of view, as it straddles several major ecoregions of the world including the Palaearctic, Ethiopian and Oriental realms (Nalbant and Bianco 1998; Coad 1998) as well as having some exotic elements from the Nearctic and Neotropical realms (Esmaeili et al. 2010a, b, 2013a, b, 2014a, b, 2017a).
