Two survey conducted in Ulu Belayan river streams, Mahakam river drainage, District Kembang Janggut, Regency Kutai Timur, Province East Kalimantan. This third survey studied the freshwater fish diversity around Mesangat watershed, District Muara Ancalong, Regency Kutai Kartanegara, Province Kalimantan Timur. There is a quite big swampy area in the District Muara Ancalong, Mesangat swamp or in Bahasa Indonesia we call it Rawa Mesangat. This swamp area is the habitat of the protected species of long snout crocodile, Tomistoma schlegeli. The aim of this survey is to get the information of the fish diversity around Mesangat watershed, the distribution of each site and the status of the species. The results of this survey could be use as the basic data for REA KON to manage the area for the continuation and conservation of the species.

The present study was undertaken in order to untangle some of the problems of classification which have beset this group. The genera have not been studied in toto since the days of Bleeker and Gunther. In this study I have made an attempt to clarify the relationships of the various genera, which in some cases has involved revision of generic limits. Lack of time and material has precluded a thorough analysis of the species within any genus; for the same reason no skeletal examinations were possible. It is hoped, however, that a clarification of generic limits through study of external characters will make it easier in the future for interested workers, with sufficient material at hand, to do further and much-needed work on both the genera and the species.

  • Employing Geographical Information Systems in Fisheries Management in the Mekong River: a Case Study of Lao PDR
    Employing Geographical Information Systems in Fisheries Management in the Mekong River: a case study of Lao PDR Kaviphone Phouthavongs A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the Degree of Master of Science School of Geosciences University of Sydney June 2006 ABSTRACT The objective of this research is to employ Geographical Information Systems to fisheries management in the Mekong River Basin. The study uses artisanal fisheries practices in Khong district, Champasack province Lao PDR as a case study. The research focuses on integrating indigenous and scientific knowledge in fisheries management; how local communities use indigenous knowledge to access and manage their fish conservation zones; and the contribution of scientific knowledge to fishery co-management practices at village level. Specific attention is paid to how GIS can aid the integration of these two knowledge systems into a sustainable management system for fisheries resources. Fieldwork was conducted in three villages in the Khong district, Champasack province and Catch per Unit of Effort / hydro-acoustic data collected by the Living Aquatic Resources Research Centre was used to analyse and look at the differences and/or similarities between indigenous and scientific knowledge which can supplement each other and be used for small scale fisheries management. The results show that GIS has the potential not only for data storage and visualisation, but also as a tool to combine scientific and indigenous knowledge in digital maps. Integrating indigenous knowledge into a GIS framework can strengthen indigenous knowledge, from un processed data to information that scientists and decision-makers can easily access and use as a supplement to scientific knowledge in aquatic resource decision-making and planning across different levels.

    American Fisheries Society Symposium 77:15–37, 2011 © 2011 by the American Fisheries Society Global Catfi sh Biodiversity JONATHAN W. 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. Renowned herpetologist and ecologist Archie Carr’s But would every one be able to identify the 1941 parody of dichotomous keys, A Subjective Key loricariid catfi sh Pseudancistrus pectegenitor as a to the Fishes of Alachua County, Florida, begins catfi sh (Figure 2A)?

  • New Host Records for Lernaea Cyprinacea (Copepoda), a Parasite of Freshwater Fishes, with a Checklist of the Lernaeidae in Japan (1915-2007)
    J. Grad. Sch. Biosp. Sci. Hiroshima Univ. (2007), 46：21～33 New Host Records for Lernaea cyprinacea (Copepoda), a Parasite of Freshwater Fishes, with a Checklist of the Lernaeidae in Japan (1915-2007) Kazuya Nagasawa, Akiko Inoue, Su Myat and Tetsuya Umino Graduate School of Biosphere Science, Hiroshima University 1-4-4 Kagamiyama, Higashi-Hiroshima, Hiroshima 739-8528, Japan Abstract The lernaeid copepod Lernaea cyprinacea Linnaeus, 1758, was found attached to three species of freshwater fishes, the barbell steed Hemibarbus labeo (Pallas) (Cyprinidae), the dark chub Zacco temminckii (Temminck and Schlegel) (Cyprinidae), and the Amur catfish Silurus asotus Linnaeus (Siluridae) from Hiroshima Prefecture in Japan. The findings from Hemibarbus labeo and Zacco temminckii represent new host records for L. cyprinacea, while Silurus asotus is a new host in Japan. Based on the literature published for 93 years from 1915 to 2007, a checklist of three species of lernaeid copepods (Lernaea cyprinacea, Lernaea parasiluri, Lamproglena chinensis) from Japan is given, including information on the synonym(s), host(s), site(s) of infection, and distribution. The checklist shows that in Japan L. cyprinacea has been reported from 33 or 34 species and subspecies of fishes belonging to 17 families in 10 orders and also from 2 species of amphibians from 2 families in 2 orders. Key words: Lamproglena chinensis; Lernaea cyprinacea; Lernaea parasiluri; Lernaeidae; parasites; new hosts INTRODUCTION The lernaeid copepod Lernaea cyprinacea Linnaeus, 1758, often called the anchor worm, is a parasite of freshwater fishes in various regions of the world (Kabata, 1979; Lester and Hayward, 2006). The anterior part of the body of metamorphosed adult female is embedded in the host tissue, whereas the remaining body protrudes in the water.

  • Risk Assessment to Add Kryptopterus Vitreolus To, and Remove Kryptopterus Bicirrhis From, the Environment Protection and Biodive
    Risk Assessment to add Kryptopterus vitreolus to, and remove Kryptopterus bicirrhis from, the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 List of Specimens taken to be Suitable for Live Import August 2020 Introduction Purpose of proposed amendments The Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment (the Department) proposes to amend the List of Specimens Taken to be Suitable for Live Import (Live Import List) to: 1. include Kryptopterus vitreolus, commonly known as the Glass Catfish, and 2. remove Kryptopterus bicirrhis, which was known previously as the Glass Catfish. The Department has recently become aware that the commonly traded Glass Catfish which appears on the Live Import List has been misidentified. The species imported into Australia (and around the world) is a previously unnamed species which has been globally misidentified for over 80 years before being identified as Kryptopterus vitreolus. The species on the Live Import List with the common name Glass Catfish (Kryptopterus bicirrhis) is not imported or common in the aquarium industry. The Department proposes to include Kryptopterus vitreolus on, and remove Kryptopterus bicirrhis from, the Live Import List. The Department’s objective is to enable legal imports of the species Kryptopterus vitreolus into Australia under its correct taxonomical name. Background Under s303EC of the EPBC Act, the Minister may amend the Live Import List by including a specimen in the list. There are two parts to the list—Part 1 comprises specimens that can be imported without a permit under the Act and Part 2 comprises specimens, including CITES species, that require a permit under the Act to be imported.
