  • A New Species of Rainbowfish (Glossolepis: Melanotaeniidae) from Irian Jaya, Indonesia
    FoS(210)Vol15No3.xps4 31/3/04 1:44 PM Page 766 A New Species of Rainbowfish (Glossolepis: Melanotaeniidae) from Irian Jaya, Indonesia Gerald R. Allen* Abstract A new species of rainbowfish, Glossolepis dorityi, is described from Irian Jaya. It is distinguised from its nearest members in the genus, G. leggetti Allen, in certain body proportions and G. multisquamatus (Weber & de Beaufort), in modal counts of soft dorsal-fin rays, pectoral-fin rays, and predorsal scales. A list of the known species of the genus Glossolepis Weber, and their general distribution is presented. Introduction This article describes a new species of rainbowfish (Melanotaeniidae) belonging to the genus Glossolepis. It was collected by Dan Dority and David Price during a weekend outing to a small lake, about 68 km due west of Jayapura, Irian Jaya’s capital city. Dan and David have been working in the Jayapura-Sentani area for several years, but only recently became aware of this location, which is part of a cluster of at least 15 floodplain lakes. I had flown over the lakes and photographed several of them during my first visit to Irian Jaya in 1982. But at that time access was poor and I did not consider trying to visit them. Now they can be reached in less than two hours by car from Lake Sentani. Dan and David collected the first specimens in April 2000. About four months later I had an opportunity to visit the Sentani area for a Conservation International training course and joined them for a day trip to the same lake, which is within one km of a well-travelled road.

  • ANGFA Life Membership
    ANGFA National Life Membership awarded to Barry Crockford “Barry has been an active contributor within and supporter of ANGFA for over 30 years .... ......ANGFA’s experiences with the PNG rainbowfish would have been substantially less if not for Barry’s contribution to ANGFA and the hobby.” Rodney Wubben Barry Crockford has been an active member of ANGFA ever since its inception in the early 1970s. Barry worked in the aircraft industry in Papua New Guinea from the 1960s Travelled to PNG from mid 1970s to 1980s to collect and bring back to Australia many new species of rainbowfish to share with ANGFA and its members. Glossolepis maculosus – The Spotted Rainbow Barry discovered this fish in 1979 (Omsis River, PNG ) The vast majority of PNG rainbowfish present in Australia from 1970s - 1980s were brought into the country by Barry The list of fish include: • Melanotaenia goldiei • Glossolepis wannamensis • M. lacustrus • G. maculosus • M. papuae • Chilatherina axelrodi • M. parkinsoni • C.campsi • M. sexlineata • C. fasciata --Lake Wanam • M. affinis Pagwi • Tateuredina • Pseudomugil furcatus ocellicauda (Peacock Gudgeon) • P. conniae Barry’s contributions to ANGFA and native fish however did not stop there Barry established the ‘Rainbowfish Species group’ (RSG) in the early 1990s with a few other ANGFA members, to conserve many of the rainbowfish (and particularly from PNG) which had substantially declined in numbers within the hobby at that time. One of Barry’s major contributions within the RSG over the 1990s was performing a major breeding program for the C. axelrodi. Starting from only one small male identified in Melbourne and two mature females (of only a few females) This was the total stock identified in Australia and from this micro- population Barry bred at least six generations over a 10 year period to bring them back to a strong healthy population.

    Rec. West. Aust. Mu.'!. 19808: (:3) DESCRIPTIONS OF FIVE NEW RAINBOWFISHES (MELANOTAENIIDAE) FROM NEW GUINEA GERALD R. ALLEN* & NORBERT J. CROSS* ABSTRACT A collection of freshwater melanotaeniid fishes taken on an expedition to Dutch New Guinea (now Irian Jaya) by the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Histoire (Leiden, Netherlands) during 1954-55 was studied. It contained four new species which are described herein: Melanotaenia ajarrwruensis (Ajamaru Lakes, Vogelkop Peninsula), M. boesemani (Ajamaru Lakes), M. japenensis (Japen Island), and Glossolepis pseudo­ incisus (Tami River, Djajapura district). An additional new species, Melanotaenia oktediensis is described on the basis of three specimens collected by the Smithsonian Institution (uSA) and Papua New Guinea Fisheries Department from the head­ waters of the Fly River System, southern Papua New Guinea. The five new species are described in detail, illustrated, and compared with allied species. INTRODUCTION Rainbowfishes of the family Melanotaeniidae inhabit freshwater streams, swamps, and lakes of northern and eastern Australia and New Guinea. The family contains nine genera and approximately 40 species (Alien, in press). All of these are small fishes, usually under 15 cm standard length, dwelling pri­ marily in fresh water. Because oftheir diminutive size they are commercially unimportant, although they are eaten, usually dried, in some villages of New Guinea. Several species, primarily from Australia, are esteemed as aquarium fishes because of their attractive colours and ease of breeding in captivity. The senior author is currently engaged in the study of melanotaeniids, with plans for an overall revision in the near future. In connection with this work specimens were examined at European museums during 1975 and 1977.

  • Rivers and Streams on Madagascar
    RIVERS AND STREAMS ON MADAGASCAR by M. ALDEGHERI The survey of Malagasian rivers was started in 194.8-49 by a team from Electricité de France investigating the prospects of hydroelectric develop- ment in several river basins. From 1951 the Hydrology Section of ORSTOM (Office for Overseas Scientific and Technical Research) took over the stations set up in 1948 and completed the network, extending it gradually as requests were received fiom users (agricultural engineering, public works, development companies, etc.) There are now 75 stations in the main regions of the island, and ORSTOM is responsible for running them. Since 1966, a team from the Meteorological department, trained by ORSTOM, has been studying the hydrology of Madagascar. It will become a hydrometeorological department, and take over from ORSTOM the running and maintenance of the hydrological network. Despite the fact that the hydrological data available consist of a series of surveys which are of too short a duration and are sometimes incomplete, they are nevertheless sufficient to provide a preliminary review of the hydrological regimes of the Great Island. In the first part, we shall describe the hydrographic network and in the second part we shall examine the main features of the regimes. I. Hjdrografihy The rugged relief of Madagascar divides its hydrographic network naturally into five groups of basins of very different sizes. 1. The slopes of the Ambre mountain 2. The Tsaratanana slopes 3. The east slopes running into the Indian Ocean 4. The western and north-western slopes whose waters run into the Mozambique Channel 5. The southern slope The watershed between the Mozambique Channel and the Indian Ocean runs through the three large mountain ranges of the island and then generally follows the eastern escarpment of the highlands.
