It is distinguished from all congeneric species by unique combination of char- acters: branched dorsal-fin rays 10; branched anal-fin rays 10–11; longest simple rays of dorsal and anal fins strong and stiff, distally segmented; pelvic fin rays i 6; longitudinal scale series 34–36; transverse scale series 11; pored scales 4–7; vertebrae 33–34; colour pattern of adult males (iris black, belly reddish-orange, central part of caudal fin red, dorsal and anal fins of males edged with white margin). Key words: Cyprinidae, Rhodeus albomarginatus, new species, Yangtze River, China Introduction Bitterling belong to the subfamily Acheilognathinae in Cyprinidae and include three genera, Acheilognathus, Rhodeus and Tanakia. The genus Rhodeus can be distinguished from the other two genera by having an incomplete lateral line, no barbels, and wing-like yolk sac projections in larvae (Arai & Akai, 1988).

No characters were found which clearly confirm the specific status of R. sericeus amarus. Rhodeus colchicus, new species, is described from the rivers in West Transcaucasia, Georgia. It is distinguished from congeners by a suite of characters which includes large scales (34 to 37, commonly 35, in the lateral row), a low number of vertebrae (33 to 36, commonly 35, total, and 16 to 18, commonly 17, in the abdominal region), a deep shortened 2nd infraorbital, a broad 4th infraorbital and a well developed 5th one with a widened lamellate portion. Introduction The Amur common bitterling was described as Cyprinus sericeus by Pallas (1776) from River Onon (Upper Amur system) and the European bitterling, Cyprinus amarus, some years later by Bloch (1782) from River Elbe. They were considered to be close or conspecific by many authors, for example, Dybowski (1869, 1877) and Warpachowski (1887). The study by Svetovidov and Eremeyev (1935) showed that European and Asian bitterlings are slightly different in some characters and proposed to give them a rank of subspecies of one and the same species.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract The chromosome analysis of the masculinized hybrid between female Tanakia limbata and male T. signifer in bitterlings (Acheilognathinae) was done. It was presumed that they had intermediate karyotype between the parents, and formed sperms with heteroploidy resulting from the incom- plete pairing of homologous chromosomes in meiosis. Due to the abundance of species and the ease of artificial fertilization, the study of the factor of the hybrid sterility in bitterlings would lead to the clarification of the mechanism about species differentiation and karyotype differentiation, and also to developing a new variety. Keywords Bitterling, Hybrid, Chromosome, Species Differentiation, Karyotype Evolution, Develop a New Variety 1. Introduction Bitterlings are freshwater fish species ascribed to the subfamily Acheilognathinae (Cyprinidae), and are distri- buted throughout Eurasia, and more widely in East Asia. Three valid genera, Acheilognathus, Rhodeus, and Ta- nakia [1], grouping approximately 80 species/subspecies [2], have been recognized. It is known fact that all bit- terlings are characterized by peculiar reproductive behavior which involves egg and sperm deposition in the mantle cavity of living freshwater bivalves.

Acheilognathus tabira erythropterus, A. t. tohokuensis and A. t. jordani, formerly all included in a single undescribed subspecies of Acheilognathus tabira, differ from other subspecies of A. tabira in having a red-edged anal fin in nuptial males. Acheilognathus t. erythropterus, dis- tributed on the Pacific Ocean side of eastern Honshu, is distinguished from A. t. tohokuensis and A. t. jordani by having shorter ellipsoidal eggs (ratio of major axis to minor axis: 1.4–2.2 vs. 2.0–3.3 in A. t. tohokuensis and A. t. jordani). Acheilognathus t. tohokuensis, distributed on the Japan Sea side of eastern Honshu, is distinguished from A. t. jordani in lacking a black blotch on the dorsal fin in juveniles.

  • Host-Specific Dactylogyrus Parasites Revealing New Insights on The
    Šimková et al. Parasites & Vectors (2017) 10:589 DOI 10.1186/s13071-017-2521-x RESEARCH Open Access Host-specific Dactylogyrus parasites revealing new insights on the historical biogeography of Northwest African and Iberian cyprinid fish Andrea Šimková1*, Michal Benovics1, Imane Rahmouni2 and Jasna Vukić3 Abstract Background: Host specificity in parasites represents the extent to which a parasite’s distribution is limited to certain host species. Considering host-specific parasites of primarily freshwater fish (such as gill monogeneans), their biogeographical distribution is essentially influenced by both evolutionary and ecological processes. Due to the limited capacity for historical dispersion in freshwater fish, their specific coevolving parasites may, through historical host-parasite associations, at least partially reveal the historical biogeographical routes (or historical contacts) of host species. We used Dactylogyrus spp., parasites specific to cyprinid fish, to infer potential historical contacts between Northwest African and European and Asian cyprinid faunas. Using phylogenetic reconstruction, we investigated the origin(s) of host-specific Dactylogyrus spp. parasitizing Northwest African and Iberian cyprinid species. Results: In accordance with hypotheses on the historical biogeography of two cyprinid lineages in Northwest Africa, Barbini (Luciobarbus) and Torini (Carasobarbus), we demonstrated the multiple origins of Northwest African Dactylogyrus. Dactylogyrus spp. of Carasobarbus spp. originated from Asian cyprinids, while Dactylogyrus spp. of Luciobarbus spp. originated from European cyprinids. This indicates the historical Northern route of Dactylogyrus spp. dispersion to Northwest African Luciobarbus species rather than the Southern route, which is currently widely accepted for Luciobarbus. In addition, both Northwest African cyprinid lineages were also colonized by Dactylogyrus marocanus closely related to Dactylogyrus spp.

Seventy-seven species belonging to 19 families were recorded, and photographs of live specimens are provided for all species. Three exotic species were recorded: Cirrhinus cirrhosus, C. molitorella, Gambusia affinis. The top 3 species-rich families were Cyprinidae (46 %), Cobitidae (5 %) and Gobiidae (5 %). The species composition in the East Tiaoxi River is similar to that of the Yangtze River Basin; however, the East Tiaoxi River has quite a diverse fish fauna for a small river system. Introduction the fish fauna is said to be closely related to that of the Yangtze River (Fu et al., 2003). Although The Yangtze River basin is known to support a there has been fragmentary information on the diverse freshwater fish fauna, and this river basin fish fauna of the East Tiaoxi River (Mao et al., is very important in terms of formative history 1991; Kano et al., 2011; Sato et al., 2011; Li et al., of the East Asian freshwater fish fauna (Fu et al., 2012), these studies have some taxonomic prob- 2003; Yu et al., 2005).

Two hypotheses potentially explain interspecific differences in these traits: sperm competition and sperm limitation. We examined variation in six traits associated with fertilization success in three closely-related species of bitterling fish; the European bitterling (Rhodeus amarus), the Chinese rose bitterling (Rhodeus ocellatus), and the Chinese bitterling (Rhodeus sinensis). Interspecific differences indicated that the three study species have evolved different sperm allocation strategies. Rhodeus amarus displayed the most developed reproductive apparatus with a number of traits associated with both high levels of sperm production and fertilization efficiency. Rhodeus ocellatus and R. sinensis appear to have more comparable sperm allocation strategies, although relative testis size and spermatozoa head : tail ratio were greater in R.
