Diversity and longitudinal distribution of freshwater fish in Klawing River, Central Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 19: 85-92. The aims of this study were to evaluate the diversity and longitudinal distribution of fish in Klawing River, Purbalingga (Central Java). The survey was performed using a clustered random- sampling technique. The river was divided into upstream, midstream and downstream regions. Species diversity was measured as the number of species, and the longitudinal distribution was assessed by determining the fish species present in each of the three regions. Eighteen fish species of eleven families were identified in the Klawing River: Cyprinidae, Bagridae, Mastacembelidae, Anabantidae, Cichlidae, Channidae, Eleotrididae, Beleontinidae, Osphronemidae, Poecilidae, and Siluridae. Cyprinidae exhibited the highest number of species (six), followed by Bagridae and Cichlidae (two species each). The other families were represented by one species each. A single cluster analysis showed that the upstream population had a similarity of 78% and 50% with the midstream and downstream populations, respectively. Species and family diversities were higher in the midstream populations than in the upstream and downstream populations.

In India presently 8 ICAR-Central Institute of indigenous Gourami species are very common and highly demanding. Ctenops nobilis is one of the Fisheries Education, Salt Lake highly demanding and important among the 8 indigenous Gourami species. It is the only known species City, Kolkata, India in its genus. The fish is mainly cold water species. The species is widely distributed but it is a naturally scarce species. As per IUCN Red list, 2010 status the species is assessed as Near Threatened for its J Maity Vidyasagar University, population declines in the wild. Very little data available of the fish resulting problems occur during Midnapore, West Bengal, India maintenance of the fish in aquarium.

  • Diet Variation in Climbing Perch Populations Inhabiting Eight Different Types of Ecosystems
    Diet variation in climbing perch populations inhabiting eight different types of ecosystems V. V. BINOY1 AND P. S. PRASANTH2 1National Institute of Advanced Studies, Indian Institute of Science Campus, Bangalore 560 012, India 2 Palakkath House, Vellangallur, Thrissur District, Kerala 680 662, India e-mail: [email protected] Tel.: +91 782 949 6778; fax: +91 802 218 5028; Running title: Cross population variation in the diet of climbing perch 1 ABSTRACT Present study revealed that populations of climbing perch (Anabas testudineus) inhabiting river, backwater, shallow water channel, ponds with and without vegetation cover, marsh, sewage canal and aquaculture tank varied significantly in the number of food items consumed. Chironomous larvae, organic debris and filamentous algae were the common ingredients of the menu of this species across focal ecosystems, whereas sewage canal population was found surviving solely on insect larvae and organic debris. Keywords: Climbing perch, Population variation, Cross-ecosystem variation, Gut content analysis, Feeding behaviour Populations of a piscine species inhabiting ecosystems markedly divergent in the biotic and abiotic properties can provide valuable insights into the mechanisms of adaptation and evolution, since each ecosystem imparts different kinds of selection pressures on the individuals. In many contexts the divergence in the ecological parameters is reflected in the quality and quantity of food items available in a particular habitat and individuals from contrasting ecosystems may have to consume food materials demanding dissimilar handling strategies and physiological mechanisms for digestion. Food being one of the major determinant of the fitness of a species in an ecosystem knowledge of the cross population variation in the foraging strategies and food items consumed is essential for the conservation and restocking of a species that could survive in the contrasting habitat conditions as well as to prevent the migration of invasive piscine species to new areas.

PATRA, P. K. PATHAK, A. ROY, A. TALEB, P. S. ROY, A. MAJI AND U. ROY Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Milebasa (Digha) Kalukhali, Murshidabad, West Bengal Received : 16.05.2018 ; Revised : 10.07.2019 ; Accepted : 05.08.2019 ABSTRACT Air-breathing fish culture is an age-old practice but at present these high value fishes are commercially culture in different area of West Bengal. Vietnam koi, a new variety of exotic koi, native to Vietnam getting tremendous popularity in different parts of West Bengal due to its quick increase in body weight. Murshidabad Krishi Vigyan Kendra under take programme on popularization of new breed air-breathing fish through demonstration programme during 2014 to 2015. By culturing this species farmer’s were getting 150g to 200g body weight within 3-4 months and the market price of was Rs. 250-300 per kg. Realizing the huge demand of quality fish seed, KVK Murshidabad successfully under took the breeding programme of this species at KVK farm. In this breeding programme gonadoprim hormone used as inducing agents in different doses i.e. 0.25ml, 0.30ml, 0.35ml kg-1 of body weight for male and 0.35ml, 0.45ml, 0.50ml kg-1 of body weight for female. Among the different doses 0.45 ml kg-1 of body weight for female and 0.3 ml kg-1 of body weight for male was observed as the minimum effective dose of gonadoprim hormone.
