The average annual temperature is between 16.5 and 19.6 degree centigrade. The average annual rainfall is 1485.7 mm and the annual average relative humidity is 69～81%. The rainfall from June to September accounts for nearly 70% of the annual rainfall. Elevations within the prefecture range from 450 to 3,504 metres (1,476 to 11,496 ft). There are two international river systems running through the Prefecture, Lancang River and Nu River / Salween River. The area is the most biological diverse regions in China.

  • Barbatula Leoparda (Actinopterygii, Nemacheilidae), a New Endemic Species of Stone Loach of French Catalonia
    Scientific paper Barbatula leoparda (Actinopterygii, Nemacheilidae), a new endemic species of stone loach of French Catalonia by Camille GAULIARD (1), Agnès DETTAI (2), Henri PERSAT (1, 3), Philippe KEITH (1) & Gaël P.J. DENYS* (1, 4) Abstract. – This study described a new stone loach species in France, Barbatula leoparda, which is endemic to French Catalonia (Têt and Tech river drainages). Seven specimens were compared to 49 specimens of B. bar- batula (Linnaeus, 1758) and 71 specimens of B. quignardi (Băcescu-Meşter, 1967). This new species is char- acterized by the presence of blotches on the belly and the jugular area in individuals longer than 47 mm SL and by a greater interorbital distance (35.5 to 41.8% of the head length). We brought moreover the sequence of two mitochondrial markers (COI and 12S, respectively 652 and 950 bp) of the holotype, which are well distinct from all other species, for molecular identifications. This discovery is important for conservation.

In the present study, we sequenced the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene (cyt b) and control region (CR) and compared their rates in 93 specimens representing 67 species of loaches and some related taxa in the Cobitoidea (Order Cypriniformes). The results showed that sequence divergences of the CR were broadly higher than those of the cyt b (about 1.83 times). However, in considering only closely related species, CR sequence evolution was slower than that of cyt b gene (ratio of CR/cyt b is 0.78), a pattern that is found to be very common in Cypriniformes. Combined data of the cyt b and CR were used to estimate the phylogenetic relationship of the Cobitoidea by maximum parsimony, neighbor-joining, and Bayesian methods.

The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) saves wildlife and wild lands around the world. We do this through science, conservation, education, and the man- agement of the world's largest system of urban wildlife parks, led by the flag- ship Bronx Zoo. Together, these activities inspire people to imagine wildlife and humans living together sustainably. WCS believes that this work is essential to the integrity of life on earth. Over the past century, WCS has grown and diversified to include four zoos, an aquarium, over 100 field conservation projects, local and international educa- tion programs, and a wildlife health program. To amplify this dispersed con- servation knowledge, the WCS Institute was established as an internal “think tank” to coordinate WCS expertise for specific conservation opportunities and to analyze conservation and academic trends that provide opportunities to fur- ther conservation effectiveness. The Institute disseminates WCS' conservation work via papers and workshops, adding value to WCS' discoveries and experi- ence by sharing them with partner organizations, policy-makers, and the pub- lic.

  • Ichthyofaunal Diversity of Jinari River in Goalpara
    CIBTech Journal of Zoology ISSN: 2319–3883 (Online) Online International Journal Available at http://www.cibtech.org/cjz.htm 2020 Vol.9, pp.30-35/Borah and Das Research Article [Open Access] ICHTHYOFAUNAL DIVERSITY OF JINARI RIVER IN GOALPARA, ASSAM, INDIA Dhiraj Kumar Borah and *Jugabrat Das Department of Zoology, Goalpara College, Goalpara, Assam, India, *Author for Correspondence: [email protected] ABSTRACT The present study attempts to access the ichthyofaunal diversity of Jinari river in Goalpara district of Assam, India. There was no previous report on piscine diversity of this river in Assam. Survey was conducted in the lower stretch of the river in Goalpara district from April 2018 to March 2019. Fish specimens were collected from five pre-selected sites, preserved and identified adopting standard methods. A total of 74 fish species belonging to nine (9) orders, 26 families and 58 genera were recorded. Cypriniformes was the dominant order with 35 species followed by Siluriformes with 19 species. IUCN status shows two vulnerable, eight near threatened and 66 species under the least concern category. Prevalence of anthropogenic threats like garbage dispersal and agricultural pesticide flow to the river, setting of brick industries on the bank, poison fishing in the upper stretch etc. may affect the fish population in this river. In this regard, awareness is the need of the hour among the inhabitants of the surrounding villages. Keywords: Ichthyofauna, Jinari River, Goalpara, Brahmaputra River, Assam INTRODUCTION The Northeastern region of India is considered to be one of the hotspots of freshwater fish biodiversity in the world (Ramanujam et al., 2010).

Melanocortin 1 receptor of the order Cypriniformes, which is the largest group of gene (MC1R) plays an important role during the freshwater fish in the world (Nelson et al., 2016). Depending on synthesis of melanin and formation of animal body different authors, Cobitoidea includes variable families. Bohlen color patterns. In this study, we amplified and sequenced the partial MC1R gene for 44 loach & Šlechtová (2009) and Chen et al. (2009) congruently individuals representing 31 species of four families. recognized the genus Ellopostoma as a distinct new family Phylogenetic analyses yielded a topology congruent Ellopostomatidae, and proposed that Cobitoidea is composed with previous studies using multiple nuclear loci, of eight families (Catostomidae, Gyrinocheilidae, Botiidae, showing that each of the four families was Vaillantellidae, Cobitidae, Ellopostomatidae, Nemacheilidae and monophyletic with sister relationships of Botiidae+ Balitoridae). Kottelat (2012) raised genera Serpenticobitis and (Cobitidae+(Balitoridae+Nemacheilidae)). Gene Barbucca to family rank, and established Serpenticobitidae and evolutionary analyses indicated that MC1R in Barbuccidae.
