Ecosystems goods and services from mangrove forests are especially vital to coastal communities. Yet mangrove areas continue to be deforested at unprecedented rates. Using gobioid fishes associated with mangrove forests as focal organisms, we assessed their diversity in 14 selected sites within the Lesser Sunda group of islands. We applied Correspondence analysis to determine the relationships between ecosystems based on the occurrence of these fishes and complementarity analysis to identify the minimum number of sites to conserve maximum diversity based on a rarity algorithm. We recovered 55 gobioid fish species at these mangrove areas, and proposed six mangrove areas within the Lesser Sunda group of islands as areas of conservation priority: Loh Sebita, Oebelo, Bipolo, Lembar Bay, Selindungan, and Kawangu.

  • Species Composition and Abundance of Fish and Prawn Species in Ataran River, Mon State
    SPECIES COMPOSITION AND ABUNDANCE OF FISH AND PRAWN SPECIES IN ATARAN RIVER, MON STATE Naw Zar Chi Linn1, Than Than Soe2, Win Win Myint3 ABSTRACT The Ataran river, one of the tributaries of the Thanlwin river, was rich both freshwater and brackish fish and prawn species and contribute significantly to a numerous of ecosystem services for inland fisheries. The present research was done to evaluate the species composition and abundance of fish and prawn species along the Ataran river at fish landing sites of Naungbinseik, Ngabyama and Chaungnakwa from December, 2019 to March, 2020. In this research, a total of 47 fish species belonging to 27 families, 41 genera under 13 orders and seven prawn species from two genera of Palaemonidae were recorded and identified. Species numbers and abundance of fish and prawn were highly observed in December while those were lowly in March in all study areas. The highest fish species number was shown by Nyaungbinzeik area (41 species), followed by Chaungnakwa area (37 species) and Ngabyama area (35 species). Relative abundance of fish indicated eight species as very common, 15 species as common and 24 species as uncommon in the study areas. Of the 47 fish species recorded, one species Wallago attu has been assessed as Vulnerable and one endemic species Esomus altus (Fishbase,2017). A toad fish species, Allerbatrachus grunniens (locally called Nga-oak-phar) is for the first record from Ataran river, Mon State. The highest number of recorded prawn species was observed in Chaungnakwa followed by Naungbinzeik and Ngapyama. The highest composition and abundance of prawn species Macrobrachium rosenbergii was observed in all study areas and the lowest in M.

Types of fish T. vagina is a type that has not published in Indonesia. This fish was caught using trap net in waters Pangpang Bay, which is an essential area in Banyuwangi, East Java. The description of the morphology and fish habitat conditions shows that the region has a diversity of fish resources that need attention. This goby fish has a local name as fish bedhul picek due to the sense of sight on these fish as if it does not work. Eyes covered by skin and socket head section was not found their eyeballs. The body of the specimens is elongate and reddish-pink in fresh specimens in coloration. There is no barbel on the chin. Cycloid scales are present on the whole body except for the head. Muncar people commonly consume T.vagina. This fish has been food sources in several regions but uncommon at several local markets in Indonesia. The T.vagina inhabit at Pangpang Bay as the bay, which has the high primary productivity of these waters due to sufficient nutrient support.

Thirty three species of finfish belonging to 6 orders, 18 families and 30 genera and 5 species of shellfish belonging to one order, 2 families and 2 genera have been identified from the catch of Set Bag Net (SBN) , Gill Net (GN), Scoop Net ( SN) and Enclosure Net (EN). Maximum number of species were recorded under the family Cyprinidae (8 species) followed by the family Gobiidae (4 species) and the maximum number of shellfish species were recorded under family Palaemonidae (3 species). Systematic positions with taxonomic nomenclature of the finfish and shellfish species are provided. Percentage composition of finfish and shellfish catch for six months by all the four nets combined showed that the Galda chringri, Macrobrachium rosenbergii occupied the first position (10.08%), while Colisha labiosa occupied the last position (0.02%). INTRODUCTION Catch per unit of effort (CPUE) is the average catch rate and Bangladesh is endowed with vast open waters in the form of estimated by using the following formula: rivers, canals, estuaries, natural and man-made lakes, w CPUE backwaters, brackish-water impoundments and mangrove n wetlands.

  • Zootaxa: a Revision of the Gobiid Fish Genus Trypauchen
    Zootaxa 1343: 55–68 (2006) ISSN 1175-5326 (print edition) www.mapress.com/zootaxa/ ZOOTAXA 1343 Copyright © 2006 Magnolia Press ISSN 1175-5334 (online edition) A revision of the gobiid fish genus Trypauchen (Gobiidae: Amblyopinae) EDWARD O. MURDY National Science Foundation, 4201 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, VA 22230, USA Abstract The Indo-West Pacific gobiid genus Trypauchen is diagnosed and revised. Trypauchen is unique within the Amblyopinae in having the following combination of characters: 1) typically four, rarely three, anal-fin pterygiophores anterior to the first hemal spine; 2) pelvic fins small, united, and funnel-shaped with a well-developed interradial membrane; and 3) abdomen scaled. Trypauchen comprises two species: T. pelaeos n. sp., known from Myanmar, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and China; and T. vagina, distributed from Kuwait, along the coasts of India, ranging eastward to the Philippines, Taiwan, and China. A key to species is provided. Figures and descriptions of each species are also given. Putative relationships of the genus are discussed. Key words: Amblyopinae, Gobiidae, taxonomic revision, relationships Introduction Gobius vagina was described by Bloch and Schneider (1801) from a single specimen collected in Tranquebar, India. The original description was brief, but stated that an oval- shaped opening was present on the dorsal edge of the operculum. Because of this unusual, pouch-like structure at the dorsal margin of the operculum, Valenciennes in Cuvier and Valenciennes (1837) erected the genus Trypauchen [from the Greek trypa (hole) and auchen (neck)] for Gobius vagina. The function of the opercular pouch is not known, but this structure is only found in the following genera of Amblyopinae: Amblyotrypauchen, Ctenotrypauchen, Trypauchen, and Trypauchenichthys.
