ARMBRUSTER* Department of Biological Sciences, Auburn University 331 Funchess, Auburn University, Alabama 36849, USA Abstract.—Catfi shes are a broadly distributed order of freshwater fi shes with 3,407 cur- rently valid species. In this paper, I review the different clades of catfi shes, all catfi sh fami- lies, and provide information on some of the more interesting aspects of catfi sh biology that express the great diversity that is present in the order. I also discuss the results of the widely successful All Catfi sh Species Inventory Project. Introduction proximately 10.8% of all fi shes and 5.5% of all ver- tebrates are catfi shes.

  • Introduction Contribution of Indigenous Fish in Total Production Is
    Workshop Proceedings on Indigenous Fish Stock and Livelihood in Nepal 1 Introduction Contribution of indigenous fish in total production is declining worldwide as most fresh and marine fishes have been over fished (FAO 2008). Previously, many such over fished waters were introduced with non-native fish for providing immediate reliance to fishers through enhancing capture fisheries; and protection of native fish being over exploitation by diverting fisher to non-indigenous species. Details of scientific review might need either those strategies could be fruitful or not. However, recently, more focus has been given to develop the technologies of native fish species for enhancing their fishery and aquaculture from biodiversity perspectives. Knowledge and information on native species from the present perspective has seldom been synthesized and analyzed. Therefore, it is essential to collect the scattered data and prioritize the strategies for sustainable technological generation of these species in the country. The current proposal for organizing a workshop on such a crucial subject would be highly fruitful to give the direction of future research in development of fisheries and aquaculture technologies prioritizing values of indigenous fishes and re-positioning the fisheries and aquaculture to more rewarding, environment friendly, socially acceptable and economically profitable activity. The overall objective of the workshop is aquaculture development of native fish species for biodiversity and aquaculture practices. The symposium would attract the scientific attention on review, cross interaction, situation analysis, planning focused research, intervention program to make fisheries and aquaculture technology of indigenous fishes more competitive and advantageous. To address these issues, technical sessions are planned in following major themes: A.
