    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 85 4th International Conference on Management Science, Education Technology, Arts, Social Science and Economics (MSETASSE 2016) Discussions on Development of Cultural Tourism Industry in Region at the Source of the Pearl River Jingfeng Wang School of economics and management, Qujing Normal University, Qujing Yunnan, 655011, China Key words: Source of the Pearl River, Cultural tourism, Development. Abstract. The Pearl River is one of the three large inland rivers of China. The region at the source of the Pearl River is rich in natural landscape resources and human landscapes, has a profound historical and cultural foundation, and is distinctively featured by minority folk-custom, all of which are advantageous conditions for the development of cultural tourism industry. Yet the development situation of cultural tourism industry at the source of the Pearl River is still less than satisfactory. Only by transformation and upgrading of scenic region at the source of the Pearl River, and development of minority folk-custom-themed the Three Kingdoms History-themed cultural tourism, and cultural heritage tourism products, the cultural tourism industry at the source of the Pearl River can have more development opportunities. Overview of the Pearl River and of Its Source The Pearl River is one of the three inland rivers of China. By streamflow, the Pearl River is the second largest inland river in China, second only to the Yangtze River; by length, the Pearl River is the third largest inland river in China, following the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. The main stream of the Pearl River is 2320km long in total, the basin area is 446,768km2 [1], its river basin stretches over Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, and it flows into the South China Sea from the 8th estuary in the Pearl River Delta.

    Lunglei District Disaster Management Plan, 2019 Office: 0372-2324121 Fax: 0372-2324021 DEPUTY COMMISSIONER LUNGLEI DISTRICT, MIZORAM PREFACE Natural hazards such as earthquakes, landslides, cyclones, hailstorms, flash floods and others have always caused major problems in the State and the District as well. Natural hazards are not considered as disasters until destruction in terms of damage to population and property is encountered. However, in recent years, the growths in population over hazardous areas have sharpened the impact of natural hazards. In addition, man-made hazards due to carelessness and accidental failures are growing threats to the community, posing a high risk in loss of life and property. Therefore, District Disaster Management Plan incorporating all possible preparedness, prevention and mitigation measures is prepared with a view that when the disasters strike, its impact on the community, risk in loss of life and property is reduced. District Disaster Management Plan, 2019 for Lunglei District is prepared such that when disasters strike, all responsible stakeholders shall render cooperation to the District Administration and join hands and to tackle the management of disasters as it is a work which cannot be performed alone. “Disaster maybe ruthless, but human compassion is overwhelming and the only source of solace in such difficult times” Dated Lunglei, K.LALRINZUALI The 12th December, 2019 Deputy Commissioner Lunglei District, Mizoram 1 Lunglei District Disaster Management Plan, 2019 Contents Chapters Items Page

It reaches up to 27.7 mm SL and differs from all other species of Schistura by the presence of a distinct red dot above the midlateral line before the caudal-fin base (not visible in preserved speci- mens), a very slender body and a white ventral side below a broad black midlateral stripe; the dorsal side of the snout dark grey, and the anus located close to the anal-fin origin. Schistura pawensis, new species, shares with S. rubrimaculata the small size, slender body and general pigmentation pattern and is considered as closely re- lated to S. rubrimaculata. Schistura pawensis differs from S. rubrimaculata in having fewer branched rays in caudal and dorsal fins, the anus at mid-distance between pelvic and anal fins, fewer pores in lateral line, the dorsal side of the snout white, and the red dot on the caudal peduncle smaller and less prominent. Introduction Material and methods The loach genus Schistura is widespread across The specimens were either fixed in 4 % formal- South and Southeast Asia and occurs in this area dehyde and later transferred into 70 % ethanol in nearly every stream.

Depending on synthesis of melanin and formation of animal body different authors, Cobitoidea includes variable families. Bohlen color patterns. In this study, we amplified and sequenced the partial MC1R gene for 44 loach & Šlechtová (2009) and Chen et al. (2009) congruently individuals representing 31 species of four families. recognized the genus Ellopostoma as a distinct new family Phylogenetic analyses yielded a topology congruent Ellopostomatidae, and proposed that Cobitoidea is composed with previous studies using multiple nuclear loci, of eight families (Catostomidae, Gyrinocheilidae, Botiidae, showing that each of the four families was Vaillantellidae, Cobitidae, Ellopostomatidae, Nemacheilidae and monophyletic with sister relationships of Botiidae+ Balitoridae). Kottelat (2012) raised genera Serpenticobitis and (Cobitidae+(Balitoridae+Nemacheilidae)). Gene Barbucca to family rank, and established Serpenticobitidae and evolutionary analyses indicated that MC1R in Barbuccidae.

ABSTRACT: Bhutan’s water resources span a tremendous elevational gradient and are home to a diverse ichthyofauna. However, much of the aquatic biodiversity remains understudied and little is known about the ecology of native species. In an effort to strengthen Bhutan’s existing fishery database, the National Research and Development Centre for Riverine and Lake Fisheries, Haa, conducted an ichthyofauna assessment from 2017 to 2019 at 496 sampling stations spread across three hydrological basins namely Aiechhu, Manas and Nyera-Amachhu in eastern Bhutan. A total of 108 fish species, representing 47 genera, 19 families and seven orders were recorded during the study. The highest number of species and endemic fish were found concentrated along the Aiechhu hydrological basin, particularly the Aiechhu proper (Maochhu) and below <500 meters elevation. Based on these findings, the Aiechhu proper appears to be best choice for retaining a free-flowing river in Bhutan and plans for future hydropower developments in elevation <500 meters above sea level should be reconsidered. Keywords: Aiechhu; Eastern Bhutan; elevation; fish diversity; hydrological basin.

The family has 12 radiated over Asia. For some species their range is limited to single catchments; they provide an ex- 13 cellent example of biogeographical speciation on multiple scales. Hill stream loaches have a range of 14 adaptations which help them exploit environments where competitors and predators would be 15 washed away. They have streamlined bodies and keeled scales reminiscent of Mako sharks and po- 16 tentially many other as yet undiscovered drag reducing features. They adhere to rocks, crawl over 17 shallow films of water, glide over hard surfaces using ground effects and launch into currents to at- 18 tack prey or evade predation. They offer a test of modern approaches to organismal biology and a 19 broad range of biomimetic potential. In this paper we analyse what behaviour is associated with 20 their physical adaptations and how this might relate to their evolution and radiation.

Moreover, eDNA metabarcoding is now used to determine a complete list of Available online 30 May 2016 target organisms without any prior knowledge on the species inhabiting the environment. This study is the first environmental DNA study designed to assess complete ichthyofauna Keywords: of the largest lake in Marmara Region of Turkey. For this purpose, an eDNA metabarcoding eDNA Pyrosequencing approach enhanced with tagged primers according to sampling stations for a station fi Cytochrome b speci c species listing was used to revise the ichthyofauna of Lake Iznik. Results of Metabarcoding pyrosequencing data indicate the presence of 23 species in the lake, five of which are Freshwater fish reported for the first time. Short fragment of cytochrome b gene sequences amplified in this study were able to make identifications at species level and the eDNA metabarcoding approach was more cost effective and precise compared to conventional surveys.
