Smith (1945) made a partial attempt to straighten .the tangle, but writers seem still to adhere to earlier systems of classification, partly on account of Smith's work not being accessible as ready reference. Since 1945 some more literature has come out on the taxonomy of these fishes, and the present revision is therefore undertaken in order to help to avoid continuance of improper usage and to give an up-to-date classification of the fishes belonging to Hamilton's division Chela, which is now recognised as a distinct genus of the subfamily Abramidinae of the family Cyprinidae.

In this study, we investigated the mechanism by which two small cyprinid fishes (H. leucisculus and H. bleekeri) coexist by analyzing their niche segregation and morphological differences in the upper Yangtze River. Morphological analysis indicated that H. leucisculus has posteriorly located dorsal fins, whereas H. bleekeri has a more slender body, bigger eyes, longer anal fin base, and a higher head. Niche segregation analysis showed spatial and trophic niche segregation between these two species: on the spatial scale, H. leucisculus was more widely distributed than H. bleekeri, indicating that H. leucisculus is more of a generalist in the spatial dimension; on the trophic scale, H. bleekeri had a wider niche than H. leucisculus. Therefore, these two species adopt different adaptation mechanisms to coexist Keywords: biodiversity; species coexistence; spatial niche segregation; trophic niche segregation; morphology 1.

Rivers in the Japanese archipelago, separated from the continent of Asia by about 17 Ma, have experienced an intermittent exchange of freshwater fish taxa through a narrow land bridge generated by lowered sea level. As the Korean Peninsula and Japanese archipelago were not covered by an ice sheet during glacial periods, phylogeographical analyses in this region can trace the history of biota that were, for a long time, beyond the last glacial maximum. In this study, we analyzed the phylogeography of four freshwater fish taxa, Hemibarbus longirostris, dark chub Nipponocypris temminckii, Tanakia ssp. and Carassius ssp., whose distributions include both the Korean Peninsula and Western Japan. We found for each taxon that a small component of diverse Korean clades of freshwater fishes Citation: Taniguchi, S.; Bertl, J.; migrated in waves into the Japanese archipelago to form the current phylogeographic structure of Futschik, A.; Kishino, H.; Okazaki, T.

  • Occasional Papers of the Museum of Zoology University of Michigan Ann Arbor.Michigan
    OCCASIONAL PAPERS OF THE MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN ANN ARBOR.MICHIGAN THE CYPRINID DERMOSPHENOTIC AND THE SUBFAMILY RASBORINAE The Cyprinidac, the largest family of fishes, do not lend themselves readily to subfamily classification (Sagemehl, 1891; Regan, 1911 ; Ramaswami, 195513). Nevertheless, it is desirable to divide the family in some way, if only to facilitate investiga- tion. Since Gunther's (1868) basic review of the cyprinids the emphasis in classification has shifted from divisions that are rcadily differentiable to groupings intended to be more nearly phylogenetic. In the course of this change a subfamily classifica- tion has gradually been evolved. Among the most notable contributions to the development of present subfamily concepts are those of Berg (1912), Nikolsky (1954), and Banarescu (e-g. 1968a). The present paper is an attempt to clarify the nature and relationships of one cyprinid subfamily-the Rasborinae. (The group was termed Danioinae by Banarescu, 1968a. Nomen- claturally, Rasborina and Danionina were first used as "family group" names by Giinther; to my knowledge the first authors to include both Rasbora and Danio in a single subfamily with a name bascd on one of these genera were Weber and de Beaufort, 1916, who used Rasborinae.) In many cyprinids, as in most characins, the infraorbital bones form an interconnected series of laminar plates around the lower border of the eye, from the lacrimal in front to the dermo- sphenotic postcrodorsally. This series bears the infraorbital sensory canal, which is usually continued into the cranium above the dcrmosphenotic. The infraorbital chain of laminar plates is generally anchored in position relative to the skull anteriorly and 2 Gosline OCC.

  • Resolving Cypriniformes Relationships Using an Anchored Enrichment Approach Carla C
    Stout et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology (2016) 16:244 DOI 10.1186/s12862-016-0819-5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Resolving Cypriniformes relationships using an anchored enrichment approach Carla C. Stout1*†, Milton Tan1†, Alan R. Lemmon2, Emily Moriarty Lemmon3 and Jonathan W. Armbruster1 Abstract Background: Cypriniformes (minnows, carps, loaches, and suckers) is the largest group of freshwater fishes in the world (~4300 described species). Despite much attention, previous attempts to elucidate relationships using molecular and morphological characters have been incongruent. In this study we present the first phylogenomic analysis using anchored hybrid enrichment for 172 taxa to represent the order (plus three out-group taxa), which is the largest dataset for the order to date (219 loci, 315,288 bp, average locus length of 1011 bp). Results: Concatenation analysis establishes a robust tree with 97 % of nodes at 100 % bootstrap support. Species tree analysis was highly congruent with the concatenation analysis with only two major differences: monophyly of Cobitoidei and placement of Danionidae. Conclusions: Most major clades obtained in prior molecular studies were validated as monophyletic, and we provide robust resolution for the relationships among these clades for the first time. These relationships can be used as a framework for addressing a variety of evolutionary questions (e.g. phylogeography, polyploidization, diversification, trait evolution, comparative genomics) for which Cypriniformes is ideally suited.

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.

  • THESIS Submitted in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER of SCIENCE of Rhodes University
    THE KARYOLOGY AND TAXONOMY OF THE SOUTHERN AFRICAN YELLOWFISH (PISCES: CYPRINIDAE) THESIS Submitted in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE of Rhodes University by LAWRENCE KEITH OELLERMANN December, 1988 ABSTRACT The southern African yellowfish (Barbus aeneus, ~ capensls, .!L. kimberleyensis, .!L. natalensis and ~ polylepis) are very similar, which limits the utility of traditional taxonomic methods. For this reason yellowfish similarities were explored using multivariate analysis and karyology. Meristic, morphometric and Truss (body shape) data were examined using multiple discriminant, principal component and cluster analyses. The morphological study disclosed that although the species were very similar two distinct groups occurred; .!L. aeneus-~ kimberleyensis and ~ capensis-~ polylepis-~ natalensis. Karyology showed that the yellowfish were hexaploid, ~ aeneus and IL... kimberleyensis having 148 chromosomes while the other three species had 150 chromosomes. Because the karyotypes of the species were variable the fundamental number for each species was taken as the median value for ten spreads. Median fundamental numbers were ~ aeneus ; 196, .!L. natalensis ; 200, ~ kimberleyensis ; 204, ~ polylepis ; 206 and ~ capensis ; 208. The lower chromosome number and higher fundamental number was considered the more apomorphic state for these species. Silver-staining of nucleoli showed that the yellowfish are probably undergoing the process of diploidization. Southern African Barbus and closely related species used for outgroup comparisons showed three levels of ploidy. The diploid species karyotyped were ~ anoplus (2N;48), IL... argenteus (2N;52), ~ trimaculatus (2N;42- 48), Labeo capensis (2N;48) and k umbratus (2N;48); the tetraploid species were B . serra (2N;102), ~ trevelyani (2N;±96), Pseudobarbus ~ (2N;96) and ~ burgi (2N;96); and the hexaploid species were ~ marequensis (2N;130-150) and Varicorhinus nelspruitensis (2N;130-148).

  • New Host Records for Lernaea Cyprinacea (Copepoda), a Parasite of Freshwater Fishes, with a Checklist of the Lernaeidae in Japan (1915-2007)
    J. Grad. Sch. Biosp. Sci. Hiroshima Univ. (2007), 46：21～33 New Host Records for Lernaea cyprinacea (Copepoda), a Parasite of Freshwater Fishes, with a Checklist of the Lernaeidae in Japan (1915-2007) Kazuya Nagasawa, Akiko Inoue, Su Myat and Tetsuya Umino Graduate School of Biosphere Science, Hiroshima University 1-4-4 Kagamiyama, Higashi-Hiroshima, Hiroshima 739-8528, Japan Abstract The lernaeid copepod Lernaea cyprinacea Linnaeus, 1758, was found attached to three species of freshwater fishes, the barbell steed Hemibarbus labeo (Pallas) (Cyprinidae), the dark chub Zacco temminckii (Temminck and Schlegel) (Cyprinidae), and the Amur catfish Silurus asotus Linnaeus (Siluridae) from Hiroshima Prefecture in Japan. The findings from Hemibarbus labeo and Zacco temminckii represent new host records for L. cyprinacea, while Silurus asotus is a new host in Japan. Based on the literature published for 93 years from 1915 to 2007, a checklist of three species of lernaeid copepods (Lernaea cyprinacea, Lernaea parasiluri, Lamproglena chinensis) from Japan is given, including information on the synonym(s), host(s), site(s) of infection, and distribution. The checklist shows that in Japan L. cyprinacea has been reported from 33 or 34 species and subspecies of fishes belonging to 17 families in 10 orders and also from 2 species of amphibians from 2 families in 2 orders. Key words: Lamproglena chinensis; Lernaea cyprinacea; Lernaea parasiluri; Lernaeidae; parasites; new hosts INTRODUCTION The lernaeid copepod Lernaea cyprinacea Linnaeus, 1758, often called the anchor worm, is a parasite of freshwater fishes in various regions of the world (Kabata, 1979; Lester and Hayward, 2006). The anterior part of the body of metamorphosed adult female is embedded in the host tissue, whereas the remaining body protrudes in the water.
