  • A Guide to the Parasites of African Freshwater Fishes
    A Guide to the Parasites of African Freshwater Fishes Edited by T. Scholz, M.P.M. Vanhove, N. Smit, Z. Jayasundera & M. Gelnar Volume 18 (2018) Chapter 2.1. FISH DIVERSITY AND ECOLOGY Martin REICHARD Diversity of fshes in Africa Fishes are the most taxonomically diverse group of vertebrates and Africa shares a large portion of this diversity. This is due to its rich geological history – being a part of Gondwana, it shares taxa with the Neotropical region, whereas recent close geographical affnity to Eurasia permitted faunal exchange with European and Asian taxa. At the same time, relative isolation and the complex climatic and geological history of Africa enabled major diversifcation within the continent. The taxonomic diversity of African freshwater fshes is associated with functional and ecological diversity. While freshwater habitats form a tiny fraction of the total surface of aquatic habitats compared with the marine environment, most teleost fsh diversity occurs in fresh waters. There are over 3,200 freshwater fsh species in Africa and it is likely several hundreds of species remain undescribed (Snoeks et al. 2011). This high diversity and endemism is likely mirrored in diversity and endemism of their parasites. African fsh diversity includes an ancient group of air-breathing lungfshes (Protopterus spp.). Other taxa are capable of breathing air and tolerate poor water quality, including several clariid catfshes (e.g., Clarias spp.; Fig. 2.1.1D) and anabantids (Ctenopoma spp.). Africa is also home to several bichir species (Polypterus spp.; Fig. 2.1.1A), an ancient fsh group endemic to Africa, and bonytongue Heterotis niloticus (Cuvier, 1829) (Osteoglossidae), a basal actinopterygian fsh.

    LECTURE NNOTE ON FIS 201 (2Units) INTRODUCTION TO FISHERIES MANAGEMENT PREPARED BY DR (MRS) IKENWEIWE N. BOLATITO AQUACULTURE AND FISHERIES DEPARTMENT UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE,ABEOKUTA 1 INTRODUCTION ICTHYOLOGY is the scientific study of fish. Fish, because of the possession of notochord belong to the phylum chordata. They are most numerous vertebrates. About 20,000 species are known to science, and compare to other classes, aves 98,600species and mammals 8600species, reptiles 6,000 spandamphibians 2,000species.Fish also in various shape and forms from the smallest niamoy17mmT.L the giant whale shark that measures 15m and heights 25 tonnes. Fish are poikilothermic cold blooded animals that live in aquatic environment Most fish , especially the recent species, have scales on their body and survive in aquatic environment by the use of gills for respiration. Another major characteristic of a typical fish is the presence of gill slits which cover the gills on the posterior. (1) FISH TAXONOMY. Everyone is at heart a taxonomist whether by virtue or necessity or because of mere curiosity. 1. To know/identify the difference component in a fish population. That is to name and arrange. 2. To study the population dynamics in a population. (Number of each species in a population.) 3. Important in fish culture propagation – to know the species of fish that is most suitable for culture. 4. To exchange information to people in other parts of the world living known that both are dealing on the same species. 5. Reduce confusion as same Latin word generally acceptable worldwide are used while vernacular names differ form one location to another.

Ipinjolu Department of Forestry and Fisheries, Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, Nigeria LengthResearch Full Article [*Corresponding Author E-mail: [email protected]: : +2348137844490] ABSTRACT: Study was carried out on Auchenoglanis occidentalis from River Rima, North-Western Nigeria to provide information on gonadosomatic index, fecundity and egg size. Eight hundred samples of the fish (398 females, 399 males and 3 with unidentified sexes were examined between November 2005 and December 2008. GSI, fecundity and diameter of the eggs were analysed. Linear regression analysis was used to determine the relationship between GSI, fecundity and egg size with total length (TL), total weight (TW), gonad weight (GW) and gonad maturation stages (MS). Six stages of gonad maturation were established. Mean gonadosomatic index (GSI) for female and males were 2.01±2.75SD and 0.17±0.32SD, respectively. It varied with sex, size class and gonad maturation stage, and exhibited significant (P<0.05) correlation with fish TL, TW and MS in females but not in males. Mean fecundity was 2834.45±2530.87SD and it correlated significantly (P<0.05) with GW, MS and inversely with egg diameter but not with TL and TW. Mean egg size was 1.31±0.33mm. It correlated significantly (P<0.05) with TL, TW and GW but not with MS.

    Testing the potential of environmental DNA methods for surveying Lake Tanganyika's highly diverse fish communities Christopher James Doble A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Genetics, Evolution and Environment University College London April 2020 1 Declaration I, Christopher James Doble, confirm the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm this has been indicated in the thesis. Christopher James Doble Date: 27/04/2020 2 Statement of authorship I planned and undertook fieldwork to the Kigoma region of Lake Tanganyika, Tanzania in 2016 and 2017. This included obtaining research permits, collecting environmental DNA samples and undertaking fish community visual survey data used in Chapters three and four. For Chapter two, cichlid reference database sequences were sequenced by Walter Salzburger’s research group at the University of Basel. I extracted required regions from mitochondrial genome alignments during a visit to Walter’s research group. Other reference sequences were obtained by Sanger sequencing. I undertook the DNA extractions and PCR amplifications for all samples, with the clean-up and sequencing undertaken by the UCL Sequencing facility. I undertook the method development, DNA extractions, PCR amplifications and library preparations for each of the next generation sequencing runs in Chapters three and four at the NERC Biomolecular Analysis Facility Sheffield. Following training by Helen Hipperson at the NERC Biomolecular Analysis Facility in Sheffield, I undertook the bioinformatic analysis of sequence data in Chapters three and four. I also carried out all the data analysis within each chapter. Chapters two, three and parts of four have formed a manuscript recently published in Environmental DNA (Doble et al.
