The analysis of its gut content revealed the presence of 62 genera of planktonic life forms along with other animal matters. The organization of the alimentary tract and maximum Relative Mean Length of Gut (0.511±0.029 mm) indicated its carnivorous food habit. The peak gastro-somatic index (GSI) in winter-spring seasons and summer-rainy seasons indicated alteration of its feeding intensity. Furthermore, higher diet breadth on resource use (Levins’ and Hurlbert’s) with zooplankton compared to phytoplankton and Keywords: total plankton confirmed its zooplanktivore habit. The feeding strategy Diet breadth plots also suggested greater preference to zooplankton compared to Feeding strategy phytoplankton.

  • Aliens; a Catastrophe for Native Fresh Water Fish Diversity in Pakistan
    The Journal of Animal and Plant Sciences, 21(2 Suppl.): 2011, Page: 435-440 ISSN: 1018-7081 ALIENS; A CATASTROPHE FOR NATIVE FRESH WATER FISH DIVERSITY IN PAKISTAN A. M. Khan, Z. Ali, S. Y. Shelly* Z. Ahmad** and M. R. Mirza** Department of Zoology, University of the Punjab, Lahore *Department of Fisheries, Government of Punjab, Munawan, Lahore. Department of Zoology, Government College University, Lahore Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Pakistan has introduced several alien exotic fish species e.g. grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), bighead carp, (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis), silver carp, (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), common carp (Cyprinus carpio), gold fish (Carassius auratus), and three species of tilapia (Oreochromis aureus, Oreochromis mossambicus, Oreochromis niloticus) in warm waters along with two trout species: the rainbow trout (Onchorynchus mykiss) and the brown trout (Salmo trutta fario) in colder regions for specific purposes like sport fishing, yield enhancement and biological control of aquatic weeds and mosquitoes. The exotic species are becoming invasive in the freshwater biomes of the Punjab and other provinces of Pakistan by reason of their potent reproductive potential and feeding competitions with the native freshwater fish fauna. Resultantly the native fish species viz; Channa marulius, Wallago attu, Rita rita, Sperata sarwari, Gibelion catla, Cirrhinus mrigala and Labeo rohita, which are of economic value are under threat. Key words: Exotic, invasions, freshwater, fish fauna, Pakistan. wild, 421 (35 %) are reported as not established and 177 INTRODUCTION (15 %) with unknown establishment (Fish base, 2003).

    FLOODPLAIN RIVER FOOD WEBS IN THE LOWER MEKONG BASIN A Dissertation by CHOULY OU Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Kirk O. Winemiller Committee Members, Masami Fujiwara Thomas D. Olszewski Daniel L. Roelke Head of Department, Michael Masser December 2013 Major Subject: Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences Copyright 2013 Chouly Ou ABSTRACT The Mekong River is one of the world’s most important rivers in terms of its size, economic importance, cultural significance, productivity, and biodiversity. The Mekong River’s fisheries and biodiversity are threatened by major hydropower development and over-exploitation. Knowledge of river food web ecology is essential for management of the impacts created by anthropogenic activities on plant and animal populations and ecosystems. In the present study, I surveyed four tropical rivers in Cambodia within the Mekong River Basin. I examined the basal production sources supporting fish biomass in the four rivers during the dry and wet seasons and explored the relationship between trophic position and body size of fish at various taxonomic levels, among local species assemblages, and across trophic guilds. I used stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen to estimate fish trophic levels and the principal primary production sources supporting fishes. My study provides evidence that food web dynamics in tropical rivers undergo significant seasonal shifts and emphasizes that river food webs are altered by dams and flow regulation. Seston and benthic algae were the most important production sources supporting fish biomass during the dry season, and riparian macrophytes appeared to be the most important production source supporting fishes during the wet season.

  • A Diminutive New Species of Glyptothorax (Siluriformes
    375 Ichthyol. Explor. Freshwaters, Vol. 16, No. 4, pp. 375-383, 4 fi gs., December 2005 © 2005 by Verlag Dr. Friedrich Pfeil, München, Germany – ISSN 0936-9902 A diminutive new species of Glyptothorax (Siluriformes: Sisoridae) from the upper Irrawaddy River basin, Myanmar, with comments on sisorid and erethistid phylogenetic relationships Carl J. Ferraris, Jr.* and Ralf Britz** Glyptothorax panda, new species of the Asian catfi sh family Sisoridae, is described based on specimens from the upper Irrawaddy River basin, near Myitkyina, Myanmar. The species appears to be the smallest species of the genus Glyptothorax, and matures at 32 mm standard length or less. The species is distinguishable from congeners by a combination of meristic and color pattern characters. Several characters observed in this species resemble characters which have been hypothesized as derived states for some, or all, species of the family Erethistidae, which calls into question the validity of the current distinction between the Erethistidae and the Sisoridae. The new species exhibits a color pattern similar to that found in the syntopic species Akysis prashadi, which suggests the possibility of a mimetic relationship between the two species. Introduction nese species (Chu & Mo, 1999) cover a large percentage of the taxa. The sisorid catfi sh genus Glyptothorax is the most Until now, only fi ve species had been re- widely distributed genus of the family, extending ported from Myanmar, although this is in all longitudinally from Turkey to Fujian (China), and likelihood a substantial underestimate due, in from the south-draining Himalayan river basins part, to incomplete sampling of fi shes of that south to Java.

  • Fish Fauna of North East India with Special Reference to Endemic and Threatened Species
    Rec. zool. Surv. India: 101 (Part 3-4) : 81-99,2003 FISH FAUNA OF NORTH EAST INDIA WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO ENDEMIC AND THREATENED SPECIES NmEDITA SEN Eastern Regional Station, Zoological Survey of India, Shillong-793 003 INTRODUCTION North Easr India with it's sister states have unique topography, varied watershed pattern and physiography. The area is enriched with diversified fish fauna. A perusal of literature reveals that the area is blessed with 291 species under I 19 genera, 38 families and 12 orders (Hora, 1921 a, 1921b, 1936; Jayaram 1963, 1999; Malhotra and Suri, 1969; Sen, 1977, 1995, 1999a, 1999b; Bannan, 1984, 1992, 1994; Sen, 1985; S~gh & Singh, 1985; Vishwanath & Singh, 1986; Datta, Bannan & Jayaram, 1987; Talwar & Jhingran, 1991; Bhagowati & Biswas 1992; Vishwanath, 1993; Sen & Biswas, 1994; Nath & Dey, 1-997;· Keishing & Vishwanath, 1998, 1999; Kumar & Singh, 1998; Vishwanath et al. 1998; Vi &hwanath & Kosygin, 1999, 2000a, 2000b, 2001; Arunkumar, 2000a, 2000b; Arunkumar & Singh, 2000; Menon et al. 2000). The recorded and reported species along with their distribution in different States of N. E. India, status, type locality and endemicity have been shown in Table 1. Controversy is there regarding total number of species occurring in North East India. Regarding endemic species also differences of opinion persist. Sen (1985) identified 48 species to be endemic to Assam and neighbouring North Eastern States. Sarkar and Ponniah (2000) reported 66 species endemic to this region. Ghosh and Lipton (1982) reported 33 species as restricted in their distribution to this region. The present paper is worked out to get a total picture of the fish species recorded and reported so far from this region, as well as the endemic and threatened species occurring in N.

  • Flood Control for the Red River [Vietnam]
    Total Disaster Risk Management - Good Practices - Chapter 3 Vietnam Flood Control for the Red River The Red River, the Delta and Floods The history of the development of Vietnamese civilizations is closely linked to the Red River (Hong River) Delta. As the second largest granary of Vietnam, the Delta holds a significant meaning in the life of the Vietnamese people. This is where approximately 15–20 % of Vietnam’s rice is produced. A population of 17 million now inhabits the 16,500-km2 area of the Red River Delta. The catchment area of the Red River is estimated at 169,000 km2, half of which lies in China. The Red River at Hanoi comprises three major tributary systems, the Da, Thao and Lo Rivers. The river is the source of various positive aspects for human life, such as water resources and rich alluvium (it is called the Red River as the large amount of alluvium it carries colors it red all year round). However, these go hand in hand with a much less expected occurrence: floods. Increased flash floods as a result of deforestation in the upstream parts of the Red River basin, and raised bed levels of the rivers due to the deposition of sediment, are causing higher flood levels, endangering the ever increasing socio-economic value of the capital. The land in low-lying areas of the river delta is protected against flooding by river dyke systems. According to official historical records, in 1108, King Ly Nhan Tong ordered the construction of the first dyke with solid foundations on a large scale aimed at protecting the capital of Thang Long (now Hanoi).

  • Ichthyofaunal Diversity and Conservation Status in Rivers of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan
    Proceedings of the International Academy of Ecology and Environmental Sciences, 2020, 10(4): 131-143 Article Ichthyofaunal diversity and conservation status in rivers of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan Mukhtiar Ahmad1, Abbas Hussain Shah2, Zahid Maqbool1, Awais Khalid3, Khalid Rasheed Khan2, 2 Muhammad Farooq 1Department of Zoology, Govt. Post Graduate College, Mansehra, Pakistan 2Department of Botany, Govt. Post Graduate College, Mansehra, Pakistan 3Department of Zoology, Govt. Degree College, Oghi, Pakistan E-mail: [email protected] Received 12 August 2020; Accepted 20 September 2020; Published 1 December 2020 Abstract Ichthyofaunal composition is the most important and essential biotic component of an aquatic ecosystem. There is worldwide distribution of fresh water fishes. Pakistan is blessed with a diversity of fishes owing to streams, rivers, dams and ocean. In freshwater bodies of the country about 193 fish species were recorded. There are about 30 species of fish which are commercially exploited for good source of proteins and vitamins. The fish marketing has great socio economic value in the country. Unfortunately, fish fauna is declining at alarming rate due to water pollution, over fishing, pesticide use and other anthropogenic activities. Therefore, about 20 percent of fish population is threatened as endangered or extinct. All Mashers are ‘endangered’, notably Tor putitora, which is also included in the Red List Category of International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as Endangered. Mashers (Tor species) are distributed in Southeast Asian and Himalayan regions including trans-Himalayan countries like Pakistan and India. The heavy flood of July, 2010 resulted in the minimizing of Tor putitora species Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the fish is now found extinct from river Swat.
