In the present study, we sequenced the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene (cyt b) and control region (CR) and compared their rates in 93 specimens representing 67 species of loaches and some related taxa in the Cobitoidea (Order Cypriniformes). The results showed that sequence divergences of the CR were broadly higher than those of the cyt b (about 1.83 times). However, in considering only closely related species, CR sequence evolution was slower than that of cyt b gene (ratio of CR/cyt b is 0.78), a pattern that is found to be very common in Cypriniformes. Combined data of the cyt b and CR were used to estimate the phylogenetic relationship of the Cobitoidea by maximum parsimony, neighbor-joining, and Bayesian methods.

An analysis was conducted to compare specimens from two lesser Himalayan hill stream tributaries of River Ganga: Khanda and Saung in the Western Himalayan region of India. The results of principal component analysis on sixteen morphometric variables and fourteen derived variables per individual were found to be considerably different for the two stream samples. The meristic characters also varied significantly. The cyto-b sequence analysis showed no congruence with the morphometeric data suggesting phenotypic plasticity in the two populations. KEYWORDS: Morphology, meristic, loaches, inter-population, cytochrome b I. INTRODUCTION Nemacheilus montana McClelland (1838) earlier described as Nemacheilus montanus belongs to family Balitoridae. The fishes of this family have a preference for water with strong current, and many species only occur in torrential mountain streams, therefore they are known as hill stream loaches. A few species of this group of fishes are also occasionally trade as aquarium fish [1].

  • Recycled Fish Sculpture (.PDF)
    Recycled Fish Sculpture Name:__________ Fish: are a paraphyletic group of organisms that consist of all gill-bearing aquatic vertebrate animals that lack limbs with digits. At 32,000 species, fish exhibit greater species diversity than any other group of vertebrates. Sculpture: is three-dimensional artwork created by shaping or combining hard materials—typically stone such as marble—or metal, glass, or wood. Softer ("plastic") materials can also be used, such as clay, textiles, plastics, polymers and softer metals. They may be assembled such as by welding or gluing or by firing, molded or cast. Researched Photo Source: Alaskan Rainbow STEP ONE: CHOOSE one fish from the attached Fish Names list. Trout STEP TWO: RESEARCH on-line and complete the attached K/U Fish Research Sheet. STEP THREE: DRAW 3 conceptual sketches with colour pencil crayons of possible visual images that represent your researched fish. STEP FOUR: Once your fish designs are approved by the teacher, DRAW a representational outline of your fish on the 18 x24 and then add VALUE and COLOUR . CONSIDER: Individual shapes and forms for the various parts you will cut out of recycled pop aluminum cans (such as individual scales, gills, fins etc.) STEP FIVE: CUT OUT using scissors the various individual sections of your chosen fish from recycled pop aluminum cans. OVERLAY them on top of your 18 x 24 Representational Outline 18 x 24 Drawing representational drawing to judge the shape and size of each piece. STEP SIX: Once you have cut out all your shapes and forms, GLUE the various pieces together with a glue gun.

RANDALL & PATRICK A. RIGGS Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida, Dickinson Hall, Gainesville, FL 32611, USA. Email: [email protected] Abstract The genus Balitoropsis Smith 1945 consists of two species, B. zollingeri (Bleeker 1853) and B. ophiolepis (Bleeker 1853). Homaloptera maxinae Fowler 1937, Balitoropsis bartschi Smith 1945, and Homaloptera nigra Alfred 1969 are junior synonyms of B. zollingeri. Balitoropsis zollingeri has been reported from Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Java, and Borneo, and B. ophiolepis is known from Sumatra, Java, and Borneo. Keywords: Homaloptera zollingeri, Homaloptera ophiolepis, Balitoropsis bartschi, Homaloptera maxinae, Homaloptera nigra, Southeast Asia Introduction Randall and Page (2015) distinguished Balitoropsis from related genera, Homaloptera, Homalopteroides, Pseudohomaloptera, and Homalopterula, based on the nuclear recombination activating gene 1 (RAG1) and morphological characters, recognizing only two species in Balitoropsis: Homaloptera zollingeri Bleeker 1853 and H. ophiolepis Bleeker 1853. This classification includes fewer species in Balitoropsis than previously recognized (Kottelat 2012, 2013), and the objective of the present study was to use morphological and molecular data to assess the status of species synonymized with H. zollingeri: Homaloptera maxinae Fowler 1937, Balitoropsis bartschi Smith 1945, and Homaloptera nigra Alfred 1969. Materials and Methods Morphological. Measurements follow Hubbs and Lagler (2004) or Kottelat (1984); see Randall & Page (2012) for measurements from each source.

The family has 12 radiated over Asia. For some species their range is limited to single catchments; they provide an ex- 13 cellent example of biogeographical speciation on multiple scales. Hill stream loaches have a range of 14 adaptations which help them exploit environments where competitors and predators would be 15 washed away. They have streamlined bodies and keeled scales reminiscent of Mako sharks and po- 16 tentially many other as yet undiscovered drag reducing features. They adhere to rocks, crawl over 17 shallow films of water, glide over hard surfaces using ground effects and launch into currents to at- 18 tack prey or evade predation. They offer a test of modern approaches to organismal biology and a 19 broad range of biomimetic potential. In this paper we analyse what behaviour is associated with 20 their physical adaptations and how this might relate to their evolution and radiation.

These exempted items will will be acted upon individually. We will also act individually on items exempted by the Executive Committee. Please remember to bring this booklet with you to the meeting. I will bring a few extra copies to Portland. Please contact me directly (email is best - [email protected]) with any questions you may have. Please notify me if you will not be able to attend the meeting so I can share your regrets with the Governors.
