This is a revised and updated checklist of the parasites of medaka published in Japanese in 2012. The parasites, including 27 nominal species and those not identified to species level, are listed by higher taxa as follows: Ciliophora (no. of nominal species: 6), Cestoda (1), Monogenea (1), Trematoda (9), Nematoda (3), Bivalvia (5), Acari (0), Copepoda (1), and Branchiura (1). For each parasite species listed, the following information is given: its currently recognized scientific name, any original combination, synonym(s), or other previous identification used for the parasite from medaka; site(s) of infection within or on the host; known geographical distribution in Japanese waters; and the published source of each record. A skin monogenean, Gyrodatylus sp., has been encountered in research facilities and can be regarded as one of the most important parasites of laboratory-reared medaka in Japan. -
Strategies for Conservation and Restoration of Freshwater Fish Species in Korea
KOREAN JOURNAL OF ICHTHYOLOGY, Vol. 21 Supplement, 29-37, July 2009 Received : April 22, 2009 ISSN: 1225-8598 Revised : June 6, 2009 Accepted : June 20, 2009 Strategies for Conservation and Restoration of Freshwater Fish Species in Korea By Eon-Jong Kang*, In-Chul Bang1 and Hyun Yang2 Inland Aquaculture Research Center, National Fisheries Research and Development Institute, Busan 619-902, Korea 1Department of Marine Biotechnology, Soonchunhyang University, Asan 336-745, Korea 2Institute of Biodiversity Research, Jeonju 561-211, Korea ABSTRACT The tiny fragment of freshwater body is providing home for huge biodiversity and resour- ces for the existence of human. The competing demand for freshwater have been increased rapidly and it caused the declination of biodiversity in recent decades. Unlike the natural process of extinction in gradual progress, the current species extinction is accelerated by human activity. As a result many fish species are already extinct or alive only in captivity in the world and about fifty eight animal species are in endangered in Korea including eighteen freshwater species. Conservation of biodiversity is the pro- cess by which the prevention of loss or damage is attained, and is often associated with management of the natural environment. The practical action is classified into in-situ, or ex-situ depending on the location of the conservation effort. Recovery means the process by which the status of endangerment is improved to persist in the wild by re-introduction of species from ex-situ conservation population into nature or translocation of some population. However there are a lot of restrictions to complete it and successful results are known very rare in case. -

E-mail: [email protected] 3Corresponding author Abstract Rhodeus albomarginatus, new species, is described from the Lvjiang River, a tributary flowing into Poyang Lake of Yang- tze River basin, in Anhui Province, China. 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). -

Loppnow IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Advised by Paul A. Venturelli February 2017 © Grace L. Loppnow 2017 Acknowledgements “Nobody achieves anything alone.” -Leslie Knope, Parks and Recreation That is certainly true of this dissertation, which would not have been possible without the collaboration and support of many. First, a huge thank you to my advisor, Paul Venturelli. From our first meeting onward, you have gone out of your way to make grad school an enjoyable experience. Thank you for building me into a scientist, and for always encouraging me to grow. Thanks especially for knowing when to push me and when to let me hole up in “the writing cave.” When I was choosing an advisor 6 years ago, someone warned me that joining a new lab might be difficult. I found it to be quite the opposite. I’ve enjoyed growing with you, and have benefitted from your mentorship right from the start. Most of all, thank you for always having a sense of humor. Google will never be the same… Special thanks to my advisory committee: Bruce Vondracek, Ray Newman, Don Pereira, Tom Hrabik, and a guest appearance by Przemek Bajer. Your insights and willingness to help have been of great assistance. Thanks also to the fellow students who accompanied me on this journey. I’d like to acknowledge the support and fellowship of my “academic brothers and sisters,” my labmates: Kyle Chezik, Jason Papenfuss, Fernanda Cabrini Araujo, Cha Thao, Andrew Honsey, Megan Tomamichel, Leslie Schroeder, Tim Martin, Nate Huempfner, Natnael i Hamda, and Manu Garcia. -

ZooKeys 817: 73–93. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.817.29337 Abstract The Luoxiao Mountains play an important role in maintaining and supplementing the fish diversity of the Yangtze River Basin, which is also a biodiversity hotspot in China. However, fish biodiversity has declined rapidly in this area as the result of human activities and the consequent environmental changes. Beta diversity was a key concept for understanding the ecosystem function and biodiversity conservation. Beta diversity patterns are evaluated and important information provided for protection and management of fish biodiversity in the Luoxiao Mountains. -

Corresponding author: *E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The genus Capoeta in Iran is highly diversified with 14 species and is one of the most important freshwater fauna components of the country. Central Iran is a region with high number of endemism in other freshwater fish species, though the present species was recognized as C. aculeata (Valenciennes, 1844), widely distributed within Kavir and Namak basins. However previous phylogenetic and phylogeographic studies found that populations of Nam River, a tributary of the Hableh River in central Iran are different from the other species. In this study, the mentioned population is described as a new species based on morphologic and genetic characters. Keywords: Inland freshwater of Iran, Nam River, Algae-scraping cyprinid, Capoeta.

An Assessment of Exotic Species in the Tonle Sap Biosphere Reserve
AN ASSESSMENT OF EXOTIC SPECIES IN THE TONLE SAP BIOSPHERE RESERVE AND ASSOCIATED THREATS TO BIODIVERSITY A RESOURCE DOCUMENT FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF INVASIVE ALIEN SPECIES December 2006 Robert van Zalinge (compiler) This publication is a technical output of the UNDP/GEF-funded Tonle Sap Conservation Project Executive Summary Introduction This report is mainly a literature review. It attempts to put together all the available information from recent biological surveys, and environmental and resource use studies in the Tonle Sap Biosphere Reserve (TSBR) in order to assess the status of exotic species and report any information on their abundance, distribution and impact. For those exotic species found in the TSBR, it is examined whether they can be termed as being an invasive alien species (IAS). IAS are exotic species that pose a threat to native ecosystems, economies and/or human health. It is widely believed that IAS are the second most significant threat to biodiversity worldwide, following habitat destruction. In recognition of the threat posed by IAS the Convention on Biological Diversity puts forward the following strategy to all parties in Article 8h: “each contracting party shall as far as possible and as appropriate: prevent the introduction of, control, or eradicate those alien species which threaten ecosystems, habitats or species”. The National Assembly of Cambodia ratified the Convention on Biological Diversity in 1995. After reviewing the status of exotic species in the Tonle Sap from the literature, as well as the results from a survey based on questionnaires distributed among local communities, the main issues are discussed, possible strategies to combat the spread of alien species that are potentially invasive are examined, and recommendations are made to facilitate the implementation of a strategy towards reducing the impact of these species on the TSBR ecosystem.
