  • Species Assessments
    Species Assessments The following 787 species in trade were assessed by researchers at the University of Notre Dame using STAIRfish. Only seven were likely to establish in the Great Lakes. Of these seven, only Ictalurus furcatus (blue catfish), Leuciscus idus (ide), Morone saxatilis (striped bass) and Silurus glanis (Wels catfish) were identified as likely to have a high impact.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A new species of Farlowella is described from El Carmen de Chucurí in the Departamento de Santander, western flank of the Cordillera Oriental, río Magdalena Basin, Colombia. Farlowella yarigui n. sp. differs from its congeners in lateral body plate morphology, abdominal cover, cephalic hypertrophied odontodes, and details of coloration. This is the first ver- ifiable record of the genus in the Magdalena drainage. Aspects of natural history and implications of this finding are pro- vided concerning the state of knowledge of the fishes of the río Magdalena Basin. Previous records of Farlowella gracilis in the río Cauca basin are examined and herein considered erroneous, rendering the new species the only representative of the genus in the Magdalena-Cauca system. A key to species of Farlowella from Colombia is provided.

    Farlowella acus Farlowella acus, endémique de l'Amérique du Sud est une espèce de poissons de la famille des Loricariidae et Farlowella acus de l'ordre des Siluriformes. La forme des Farlowella ressemble un peu à celle des phasmes terrestres quant à leur forme et leur coloration, leur permettant de se camoufler dans leur environnement.

NATIONAL MUSEUM Vol. 94 Washington: 1944 Nc 3172 THE CATFISHES OF VENEZUELA, WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF THIRTY-EIGHT NEW FORMS By Leonard P. Schultz In the winter of 1942, at the invitation of Dr. Guillermo Zuloaga, assistant cbief of explorations, Standard Oil Co. of Venezuela, Caracas, I undertook to study and make collections of fishes in the Maracaibo Basin of Venezuela. I proceeded to Venezuela under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institution and the United States Department of State and was a guest there of the Standard OH Co. of Venezuela and of the Lago Petroleum Corporation, Lago Maracaibo. To the offi- cials of these companies I must express my deep appreciation, for it was a great pleasure to accept this wonderful opportunity. This report on the catfishes of Venezuela is based on collections made by me in the Maracaibo Basin and in other localities of the country, totaling 9,920 specimens, as well as on additional specimens in the collections of the United States National Museum. It is planned to report later on the other groups of fishes represented in the collections made during this trip. I wish especially to thank the following for their aid and hospitality during the course of my work: Hon. Frank P. Corrigan, United States Ambassador, Caracas, Renwick S. McNiece, American Consul, Maracaibo, and Thomas Maleady, second secretary, American Em- bassy, Caracas, for their fuUest cooperation in helping me obtain the necessary papers connected with my extensive travels in Venezuela and making my visit to that country so pleasant; Dr.

We are a local group of aquatic enthusiasts. Formed in 1952, the Greater Akron Aquarium Society is a non-profit, non-commercial organization. Our membership ranges from the beginning hobbyist to the advanced aquarist with many years of experience. The goals of our club are to promote the care, study, breeding and exhibition of aquarium related aquatic life and to promote interest in the aquarium hobby. MEETINGS: Our meetings are held on the first Thursday of each month at 8:00 p.m. at the Mogadore Community/Senior Center, 3857 Mogadore Road, Mogadore, Ohio. It is located East of Route 532 across from McDonald’s in the former post office building (see map on inside back cover) Visitors are always welcome, it costs absolutely nothing to attend a meeting and look us over. MEMBERSHIP: The cost is only $750 for adults, $10 for a couple or a family (includes children under 10 years of age) and $5.00 for a junior membership (10 to 17 years) Membership provides an opportunity to socialize with other that share your interests, a subscription to our bi-monthly magazine, library usage and more. AGENDA: Our meeting agenda is simple and informal. The meeting will begin at 8:00 p.m. with a short business meeting. Immediately following is the program for the evening which usually lasts about 45 minutes. Our programs consist of a speaker, slide program, movie or perhaps a panel discussion always on a particular subject related to the hobby or various species of fish.

Museo de Zoologia, Colección de Peces, Mesa de Cavaca, Guanare, Estado Portuguesa,Venezuela Research Paper Patterns of Freshwater Fishes of the Caribbean Versant of Venezuela key words: biogeographic provinces, coastal rivers, classification and ordination analyses, biodiversity, dispersion, hotspots Abstract We delineate local and regional biogeographic provinces that suggest patterns of species richness, and primary and secondary freshwater fish distributions along the Caribbean coast of Venezuela. We use presence-absence records and classification and ordination models. Patterns at local and regional scales varied markedly such that primary species dominated humid drainages and secondary species dominated arid drainages or transition provinces. Species rich areas, and the presence of narrowly endemic species correlate with patterns of historical isolation and hydrographic refuges. Patterns of species distributions across arid drainages suggest that close proximity of coastal marine drainages allows dispersion and exchange of species. This pattern is particularly evident among secondary species. Hotspots of species richness and endemisms are identified and are recommended as priorities for conservation. 1. Introduction 1.1. General Overview South America contains perhaps the greatest species richness of freshwater fishes in the world.
