The addition of prey widely used, which includes improvement living probiotics in diets has been suggested as an alternative feed through the incorporation of microorganisms or to improve the survival, welfare and growth of substances inside rotifers, Cladocerans or Artemia, fish, including larval stages (Ringø and Gatesoupe which function at the same time as vectors or carriers 1998; Gomez-Gil´ et al., 1998; Verschuere et al., of such components facilitating the administration of 2000; Wang et al., 2008).

  • Trophic Interactions Among Sympatric Zooplanktivorous Fish Species in Volume Change Conditions in a Large, Shallow, Tropical Lake
    Neotropical Ichthyology, 9(1):169-176, 2011 Copyright © 2011 Sociedade Brasileira de Ictiologia Trophic interactions among sympatric zooplanktivorous fish species in volume change conditions in a large, shallow, tropical lake Rodrigo Moncayo-Estrada1, Owen T. Lind2 and Carlos Escalera-Gallardo1 Significant reductions in the water volume of shallow lakes impose a restriction on species segregation promoting more interactions in the trophic relationships. The diets of three closely related zooplanktivorous silversides belonging to the Atherinopsidae species flock of lake Chapala, Mexico, were analyzed at two sites (Chirostoma jordani, C. labarcae, and C. consocium). Diets were described in critical shallow (August 2000) and volume recovery conditions (August 2005). Diets included mainly cladocerans (Bosmina, Ceriodaphnia, and Daphnia) and copepods (Cyclops). A significant difference in diets was detected when comparing years (MRPP analysis, A = 0.22, p < 0.0001) and sites at different years (MRPP analysis, A = 0.17, p = 0.004). According to niche breadth mean values, species were classified as specialized and intermediate feeders. In shallow conditions, the small range of niche breadth (1.72 to 3.64) and high diet overlap values (D = 0.64, L = 8.62) indicated a high potential for interspecific exploitative interaction. When the lake volume recovered, an increase in the niche breadth range (1.04 to 4.96) and low niche overlap values (D = 0.53, L = 2.32) indicated a reduction of the species interaction. The Mann- Whitney U-test supported this pattern by showing a significant difference between years for niche overlap (p = 0.006). The increased interaction during the low volume suggests alternative segregation in life-history variations and other niche dimensions such as spatial or temporal distribution.

Accepted 31-VII-2008. Abstract: the structural and ultrastructural features of gonads from endemic Mexican fish have received scarce attention. This study describes the histological and ultrastructural characteristics of the oocyte in Chirostoma humboldtianum. The ovary is asynchronic, and as such, most phases of oocyte development are found in the same ovary. The complete process of oogenesis was divided in five stages: oogonium and folliculogenesis, pri- mary growth, cortical alveoli and lipid inclusions, vitellogenesis and maturation. The presence of big filaments, which appear at the end of primary growth, induces some common follicular adaptation. During primary growth, abundant ribosomes, rough endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria are grouped in the cytoplasm. At the end of this stage, the Z1 layer of the chorion is developed, while microvilli start to be evident as well. In the corti- cal alveoli and lipid droplets phase, intense PAS positive vesicles, some of them containing nucleoid material, are observed in the peripheral cytoplasm and the lipid droplets take a more central position. In vitellogenesis, the proteic yolk accumulates in a centripetal way while the chorion is completely formed.

  • Endangered Species
    FEATURE: ENDANGERED SPECIES Conservation Status of Imperiled North American Freshwater and Diadromous Fishes ABSTRACT: This is the third compilation of imperiled (i.e., endangered, threatened, vulnerable) plus extinct freshwater and diadromous fishes of North America prepared by the American Fisheries Society’s Endangered Species Committee. Since the last revision in 1989, imperilment of inland fishes has increased substantially. This list includes 700 extant taxa representing 133 genera and 36 families, a 92% increase over the 364 listed in 1989. The increase reflects the addition of distinct populations, previously non-imperiled fishes, and recently described or discovered taxa. Approximately 39% of described fish species of the continent are imperiled. There are 230 vulnerable, 190 threatened, and 280 endangered extant taxa, and 61 taxa presumed extinct or extirpated from nature. Of those that were imperiled in 1989, most (89%) are the same or worse in conservation status; only 6% have improved in status, and 5% were delisted for various reasons. Habitat degradation and nonindigenous species are the main threats to at-risk fishes, many of which are restricted to small ranges. Documenting the diversity and status of rare fishes is a critical step in identifying and implementing appropriate actions necessary for their protection and management. Howard L.

  • Reproductive Biology of Menidia Jordani (Atheriniformes: Atherinopsidae) in Xochimilco Lake, Mexico
    Reproductive biology of Menidia jordani (Atheriniformes: Atherinopsidae) in Xochimilco Lake, Mexico Yolanda Mónica Olvera-Blanco,* José Luis Gómez-Márquez,** Bertha Peña-Mendoza,** Ma. Teresa Gaspar-Dillanes*** and Carlos Pérez*** The reproductive biology of Menidia jordani (Woolman, 1894), a native fish of Mexico and one of the most important commercial fish species in Central Mexico for centuries, was analyzed. A monthly sampling bet- ween April 1995 and March 1996 was carried out. Sex ratio was 1.5:1 (female:male), determined by simple observation. Females were larger than males, the largest sizes being 7.2 cm for females and 6.3 cm for males. Standard length at first maturity was 4.8 cm for females and 5.5 cm for males. Monthly variations in gonadosomatic index (GSI), hepatosomatic index (HIS) and ovarian development stages showed that the spawning season occurred mainly from January to May. Best correlation values were between fecundity and length (r = 0.7383; p = 0.0003), compared to those found between fecundity and weight (r = 0.6132; p = 0.002). Fecundity ranged from 143 to 952 eggs per female; mean fecundity was 324 eggs. Key words: Mesa silverside, gonadosomatic index, gonadic maturity, sex ratio.

  • Trophic Niche Overlap Between Native and Non-Native Fishes
    Trophic Niche Overlap Between Native and Non-Native Fishes Fernando Córdova-Tapia1, Moisés Contretas2 and Luis Zambrano1* *corresponding author: [email protected] 1Departamento de Zoología, Instituto de Biología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Ciudad Universitaria, Distrito Federal, México, 04510. 2 Subdirección de Riesgos Sísmicos, Centro Nacional de Prevención de Desastres. Av. Delfín Madrigal 665, Distrito Federal, México, 04360. Abstract In Mexico, non-native species are established in virtually every lake and represent one of the most important factors in species diversity loss. An iconic example is Lake Patzcuaro, which used to provide one of the most abundant fisheries of native species among freshwater systems in Mexico. But in the last decades the relative abundance of non- native species has increased together with a reduction of native species populations. In this study, we analyse the trophic niche overlap between native and non-native species by using carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes. We did not found a spatial effect between physicochemical variables and isotopic signatures.The trophic niche area showed a small overlap among native species, but a substantial overlap of native species with non-native C. carpio and O. aureus. The non-native species P. infans presented almost no trophic overlap with other species. Non-native species have a trophic niche area two times larger than natives. The trophic niche overlap between native and non-native species was higher than among natives. The narrower trophic niche area and the high overlap with non- native species may explain the decline of native species populations. Alternative but untested explanations include altered water quality stemming from pollution and indirect effects of non-natives.

Apartado postal 70-153, 04510, México, D. F., México. *Correspondent: [email protected] Abstract. Between May 1997 and September 1998, 270 atherinopsids belonging to 7 fi sh species were analyzed for helminths in 6 lakes located in central Mexico. In addition, a database with all the available previous records of helminth parasites of atherinopsids was built. Based on both information sources, we analyze the composition of the helminth fauna parasitizing atherinopsid freshwater fi shes from central Mexico, in order to determine some general species compositional patterns. The helminth fauna parasitizing this fi sh family in central Mexico is composed by 10 digeneans, 13 cestodes, 1 acanthocephalan, and 8 nematodes (24 of them as larval stage). Individual species richness ranged from 1 to 22 helminth species. Feeding habits of the hosts are identifi ed as the main factor in determining helminth species composition (22 of them are acquired through ingestion). Helminth species composition of almost all host species was dominated by generalist helminth species. Only 2 specialist species were found: Allocreadium mexicanum and Spinitectus osorioi, representing the core helminth fauna of this group of fi shes. These results corroborate the hypothesis that the parasite fauna in freshwater fi shes is largely circumscribed by higher levels of monophyletic host taxa.

Most newly hatched fish and shrimp depend on live food as an important basic diet. Copepods are considered the nutritional benchmark diet for a wide range of marine fish larvae. However, Artemia and rotifers are often favored as starter feed, despite their inferior nutritional values in comparison to copepods. Therefore, Artemia, rotifers, and other live foods are commonly enriched with nutrients such as fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and probiotics to imitate the copepod’s level of essential nutrients to improve rearing success for fish and crustacean larvae.
