Year of the Catfish with the Intention of Writing an Article Relating to Some Aspect of Catfish in the Aquarium on a Monthly Basis
YYeeaarr ooff tthhee CCaattffiisshh A monthly column about Catfish Talking... (Doradidae) by Derek Tustin (Author’s Note: I started The Year of the Catfish with the intention of writing an article relating to some aspect of Catfish in the aquarium on a monthly basis. Last month, April 2013, I did not. I know this caused a bit of consternation on the part of Klaus Steinhaus, the editor of Tank Talk, and he had to find another article to fill the space. As such, I offer both he and the readers of Tank Talk my sincere apologies and to make up for it, give you a double helping of The Year of the Catfish this month. – Derek P.S. Tustin) o you have that one fish species of fish that you have Agamyxis pectinifrons D an unbridled affinity for? That one special species that just strikes a chord with you that you want to keep no matter what? Perhaps something that you have kept every time the opportunity presents? I think we all have a small group of species that no matter how unattractive other aquarists may find them, we want to keep them. I think you all know by now my absolute fascination with rainbowfish, and the extent that I am willing to go to obtain certain species. Given that, you might be surprised to know that my “soft-spot species” isn’t a rainbowfish, but rather a catfish, specifically the White-Spotted Doradid, Agamyxis pectinifrons. (Or it actually might be… but I’ll get to that in a bit.) Agamyxis pectinifrons is a member of the Doradidae family. -

Of the 48 species previously considered valid in the subfamily, only one, Centromochlus steindachneri, was not evaluated in the present study. The phylogenetic analysis generated two most parsimonious trees, each with 202 steps, that support the monophyly of Centromochlinae composed of five valid genera: Glanidium, Gephyromochlus, Gelanoglanis, Centromochlus and Tatia. Although those five genera form a clade sister to the monotypic Pseudotatia, we exclude Pseudotatia from Centromochlinae. The parsimony analysis placed Glanidium (six species) as the sister group to all other species of Centromochlinae. Gephyromochlus contained a single species, Gephyromochlus leopardus, that is sister to the clade Gelanoglanis (five species) + Centromochlus (eight species). -
Amazon Alive: a Decade of Discoveries 1999-2009
Amazon Alive! A decade of discovery 1999-2009 The Amazon is the planet’s largest rainforest and river basin. It supports countless thousands of species, as well as 30 million people. © Brent Stirton / Getty Images / WWF-UK © Brent Stirton / Getty Images The Amazon is the largest rainforest on Earth. It’s famed for its unrivalled biological diversity, with wildlife that includes jaguars, river dolphins, manatees, giant otters, capybaras, harpy eagles, anacondas and piranhas. The many unique habitats in this globally significant region conceal a wealth of hidden species, which scientists continue to discover at an incredible rate. Between 1999 and 2009, at least 1,200 new species of plants and vertebrates have been discovered in the Amazon biome (see page 6 for a map showing the extent of the region that this spans). The new species include 637 plants, 257 fish, 216 amphibians, 55 reptiles, 16 birds and 39 mammals. In addition, thousands of new invertebrate species have been uncovered. Owing to the sheer number of the latter, these are not covered in detail by this report. This report has tried to be comprehensive in its listing of new plants and vertebrates described from the Amazon biome in the last decade. But for the largest groups of life on Earth, such as invertebrates, such lists do not exist – so the number of new species presented here is no doubt an underestimate.

Phylogenetic Relationships of the South American Doradoidea (Ostariophysi: Siluriformes)
Neotropical Ichthyology, 12(3): 451-564, 2014 Copyright © 2014 Sociedade Brasileira de Ictiologia DOI: 10.1590/1982-0224-20120027 Phylogenetic relationships of the South American Doradoidea (Ostariophysi: Siluriformes) José L. O. Birindelli A phylogenetic analysis based on 311 morphological characters is presented for most species of the Doradidae, all genera of the Auchenipteridae, and representatives of 16 other catfish families. The hypothesis that was derived from the six most parsimonious trees support the monophyly of the South American Doradoidea (Doradidae plus Auchenipteridae), as well as the monophyly of the clade Doradoidea plus the African Mochokidae. In addition, the clade with Sisoroidea plus Aspredinidae was considered sister to Doradoidea plus Mochokidae. Within the Auchenipteridae, the results support the monophyly of the Centromochlinae and Auchenipterinae. The latter is composed of Tocantinsia, and four monophyletic units, two small with Asterophysus and Liosomadoras, and Pseudotatia and Pseudauchenipterus, respectively, and two large ones with the remaining genera. Within the Doradidae, parsimony analysis recovered Wertheimeria as sister to Kalyptodoras, composing a clade sister to all remaining doradids, which include Franciscodoras and two monophyletic groups: Astrodoradinae (plus Acanthodoras and Agamyxis) and Doradinae (new arrangement). Wertheimerinae, new subfamily, is described for Kalyptodoras and Wertheimeria. Doradinae is corroborated as monophyletic and composed of four groups, one including Centrochir and Platydoras, the other with the large-size species of doradids (except Oxydoras), another with Orinocodoras, Rhinodoras, and Rhynchodoras, and another with Oxydoras plus all the fimbriate-barbel doradids. Based on the results, the species of Opsodoras are included in Hemidoras; and Tenellus, new genus, is described to include Nemadoras trimaculatus, N. -

Researchers have argued that those sounds are aimed at different receivers (predators) in different media. The aim of this study was to analyse sounds, compare characteristics of sounds emitted in both media in order to investigate the functional significance of distress sounds. Methodology/Principal Findings: Five representatives of the family Doradidae (Agamyxis pectinifrons, Amblydoras affinis, Hemidoras morrisi, Megalodoras uranoscopus and Oxydoras niger) were investigated. Fish were hand-held and sounds emitted in air and underwater were recorded. The following sound characteristics were analyzed - number of sounds, sound duration, dominant and fundamental frequency, sound pressure level and peak- to-peak amplitudes - and compared between media. -
