  • 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.

  • Estimates of Sponge Consumption Rates on an Indo-Pacific Reef
    Vol. 672: 123–140, 2021 MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published August 19 https://doi.org/10.3354/meps13786 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Estimates of sponge consumption rates on an Indo-Pacific reef Charlotte Mortimer1, Matthew Dunn2, Abdul Haris3, Jamaluddin Jompa3, James Bell1,* 1School of Biological Sciences, Victoria University of Wellington, Wellington 6012, New Zealand 2The National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA), Wellington 6021, New Zealand 3Universitas Hasanuddin, Department of Marine Science, Makassar 90245, Indonesia ABSTRACT: Determining predator diets is essential for understanding the strength of top-down processes and how they cascade through food webs. This is especially important for sponges, key members of benthic communities, whose dominance has increased in recent years on some coral reefs. However, the diversity of spongivorous fishes and the sponges they consume are relatively unknown. Here, we estimated sponge consumption by spongivorous fishes in the Wakatobi Marine National Park, Indonesia. We deployed cameras to identify fish biting at the dominant reef sponge Xestospongia spp. and then used gut content analysis and fish abundance estimates to quantify sponge consumption. In total, 33 species from 10 families of reef fish were identified taking bites from Xestospongia spp.; however, the 2 most prolific sponge-grazers, Ctenochaetus binotatus and Chaetodon kleinii, had no sponge in their guts, showing that for some fish, bites on sponge surfaces are not reliable evidence of sponge consumption. Gut contents indicated that Pygoplites diacanthus was an obligate spongivore, while Pomacanthus imperator, P. xanthometo- pon, Zanclus cornutus and Siganus punctatus regularly consumed sponges. Sponge consumption by these 5 spongivores was estimated at 46.6 ± 18.3 g sponge 1000 m−2 d−1.

  • 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.

We investigatedbody shape variation, quanti ed usinglandmark-based geometric morphometrics, among cichlidspecies belonging to algaland zooplankton feeders coexisting along the rocky shores of Lake Malawi,in order to elucidate the adaptive signi cance of body shape. Signi cant differences were foundwithin zooplankton feeders in which Copadichromisborleyi hada shortergape, smaller eyes andshorter caudal peduncle relative to Ctenopharynxpictus and,within algal feeders, Labeotropheus fuelleborni hada shorterand inferior subterminal gape, and shorter head relative to Petrotilapiagena- lutea.Variationamong species is discussedwith reference to trophicand feeding microhabitat differ- entiationwhich enables us to appreciate the role
