  • Common Fish Keeping Myths
    Common Fish Keeping Myths There are many common misconceptions and myths floating around about fish keeping and aquarium care, so we’re going to take a moment to address a few of the ones we frequently hear: I can put several fish in a small two gallon bowl. This mostly depends on the fish. With fish tanks, there is something we call the bio load - the number of fish you can have based on the size of the tank and the size of the fish. The general rule of thumb is one inch of fish per gallon. There are some ways to fudge this rule: adding a filter (or a more powerful filter) and more frequent water changes can allow you to keep a few more fish. Some of the cleaner and hardier species of fish can be in larger groups., and it all depends on the amount of work you want to put into your tank. Fish only grow to the size of their tank. There are some species that do suffer from "stunting" and stay small, but this is usually caused by ammonia poisoning, not the tank size. And while fish kept in this toxic environment will survive, it's for a limited time, and they won't thrive. Most species will grow to their adult sizes, regardless of the size of their homes. Bottom feeders and algae eaters will help keep my tank clean. This is the most common one we hear, and it's definitely not true. Most bottom feeders are members of the catfish family.

  • API® Lesson 4 | Understanding Fish Mouth Types
    API® Lesson 4 | Understanding Fish Mouth Types This lesson plan provides a basic understanding of different types of mouths in fish. The position of the mouth can be an indication of feeding habits. Based on the type of mouth one can then determine the preferred location used to secure food. The shape of the mouth such as elongated, spear-like, or tubular can also shed light on feeding habits. For Instructor/Teacher/Parent Make sure to read through the entire lesson plan before beginning this with students/family members as materials needed for this lesson are an aquarium to observe, and paper and pencil for drawing. Learning Objectives After completing the activities outlined in this lesson plan, students should be able to: • Provide definition and description of varying fish mouth types • Preferred location of fish for feeding based on mouth type • Examples of teeth in fish • Basic understanding of sensory organs and purpose in and around the mouth Length This activity will take about 2 hours for completion of this exercise.

  • Challenges Faced and Solutions Towards Conservation of Ecology of Urban Lakes
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, Volume 3, Issue 10, October-2012 1 ISSN 2229-5518 Research paper Challenges Faced and Solutions towards Conservation of Ecology Of Urban Lakes. Patil Snehal1, Padalia Unnati1 ¹Department of Microbiology, K.J. Somaiya College of Science and Commerce, Mumbai - 400 077, India. Abstract: A lake is the most beautiful and expressive feature of a landscape. It is often described as the “Eye of the Earth “. Urban lakes form vital ecosystems supporting livelihood with social, economic and aesthetic benefits that are essential for quality life. The nutrient- poor, oligotrophic lake is oxygen saturated and has a low microbial population; whereas nutrient-rich, eutrophic lake has a bottom sediment layer and can have an anoxic hypolimnion. As microbial biomass increases with nutrient level, light penetration gets depleted. Thus the lower parts may receive poisonous gas like H2S released by anaerobes. The sewage and agricultural waste may increase the percentage of Nitrogen and Phosphorous into the lake waters. This in turn can cause bloom of algae, bacteria and plants in the epilimnion zone. Cyanobacteria in oligotrophic fresh water can cause algal bloom. It has been noted that if both Nitrogen and Phosphorus are present, Cyanobacteria competes with algae. Toxic blooms, as well as bacterial contamination and heavy metal pollution, may significantly impair all the water uses and represent a health risk of the urban population. Thus, in the last years, a growing public awareness has developed regarding the quality of urban lakes and special management plans in several urban areas have been augmented worldwide to restore the hygiene, maintain the recreational value and to avoid sanitary problems arising from the deterioration of their water quality.

  • Introduction Contribution of Indigenous Fish in Total Production Is
    Workshop Proceedings on Indigenous Fish Stock and Livelihood in Nepal 1 Introduction Contribution of indigenous fish in total production is declining worldwide as most fresh and marine fishes have been over fished (FAO 2008). Previously, many such over fished waters were introduced with non-native fish for providing immediate reliance to fishers through enhancing capture fisheries; and protection of native fish being over exploitation by diverting fisher to non-indigenous species. Details of scientific review might need either those strategies could be fruitful or not. However, recently, more focus has been given to develop the technologies of native fish species for enhancing their fishery and aquaculture from biodiversity perspectives. Knowledge and information on native species from the present perspective has seldom been synthesized and analyzed. Therefore, it is essential to collect the scattered data and prioritize the strategies for sustainable technological generation of these species in the country. The current proposal for organizing a workshop on such a crucial subject would be highly fruitful to give the direction of future research in development of fisheries and aquaculture technologies prioritizing values of indigenous fishes and re-positioning the fisheries and aquaculture to more rewarding, environment friendly, socially acceptable and economically profitable activity. The overall objective of the workshop is aquaculture development of native fish species for biodiversity and aquaculture practices. The symposium would attract the scientific attention on review, cross interaction, situation analysis, planning focused research, intervention program to make fisheries and aquaculture technology of indigenous fishes more competitive and advantageous. To address these issues, technical sessions are planned in following major themes: A.

Abstract One specimen of Burmese Trout Raiamas guttatus (Day, 1870) was caught on 17 February 2018 in the Blungun River, South Sumatra Province, Indonesia. This specimen revealed a southermost record of R. guttatus in its distributional range. Key words: Cyprinidae, Raiamas guttatus, Indonesia, freshwater, river, distribution. Introduction Raiamas is one of the smallest genera of Cyprinidae that represent the largest freshwater teleost an family in the world (Manda et al. 2018). Presently, the genus Raiamas contains 16 valid species, two from Asia and 14 from Africa (Liao et al. 2012; Manda et al. 2018). Individuals of the Burmese Trout Raiamas guttatus (Day, 1870) occur on Southeast Asia mainland from Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam and Malay Peninsula (Rainboth 1996; Froese & Pauly 2019). This species prefers gravel substrate in clear, swift, small streams up to rapidly flowing strecthes of large rivers (Rainboth 1996). Adult usually in clear water with moderate to swift current; juveniles in quiet pool further downstream (Kottelat 2001).
