  • Aquarium Fishes
    AQUARIUM FISH AND THEIR MAINTENANCE (Prepared by- Prof. S.P. Trivedi, University of Lucknow) A. AQUARIUM FISHES A certain number of fish are maintained in aquaria in homes, hotels, work places and other public purpose spots on account of their beautiful colours, agile swimming activities and attraction. These fish are more popularly known as ‘ornamental fishes’. Ornamental fish is often used as a generic term to describe aquatic animals kept in the aquarium for hobby, including fishes, invertebrates such as corals, crustaceans (e.g., crabs, hermit crabs, shrimps), mollusks (e.g., snails, clams, scallops), and also live rock. Live rock is a general term for any type of rock encrusted with, and containing within its orifices, a wide variety of marine organisms including algae and colorful sessile invertebrates. Ornamental fishes form an important commercial component of aquaculture, providing for aesthetic requirements and upkeep of the environment. Aquarium keeping of fish began in 1805 with the first public display Aquarium opened at Regent's park in England in 1853. Development of aquaria picked up further and by 1928, there were 45 display aquaria open to public, with over 500 aquaria presently functioning worldwide. Market for ornamental fish in the world- 1. For Public aquaria-less than 1%. 2. 99% of the Market for Ornamental Fish is still confined to hobbyist. Today, modern material, equipment and air transport have made it possible for hobbyists as well as display aquaria personnels to obtain a wide variety of fishes from all over the world and to maintain them with a high degree of success.

  • Fish Species Observed in Lake Indawgy and Its Basin in November-December 2013
    1 Fish species observed in Lake Indawgy and its basin in November-December 2013 by Dr Maurice Kottelat Rue des Rauraques 6 2800 Delémont Switzerland [email protected] Introduction The first data on the fish fauna of Lake Indawgyi were published by Prashad & Mukerji in 1929. They recorded 65 species. Since, a few ichthyologists visited the lake and this has resulted in the addition of a few species, both species already known from elsewhere in Myanmar and also a few species new to science (e.g., Britz, 2007, 2010; Kullander, 2008; Kullander & Britz, 2002; Kullander & Fang, 2005; Ng & Kottelat, 2009). A survey was conducted in 2013 by the Forest Department, the Zoology Department of Myitkyina University and Fauna & Flora International. The present report documents the 68 species observed by the survey and provides a list of 88 native fish species now recorded from the lake. Material and methods Fish samples were collected in December 2013 by the survey conducted by the Forest Department, the Zoology Department of Myitkyina University and Fauna & Flora International. Fish were obtained by seine, pushnet and dipnets depending of the conditions at the different sites. The catches of fishermen were inspected everyday at the landing spots in Lonton. A small collection at the Forestry Office in Lonton was examined. They are in poor state of conservation and many cannot be readily identified. Among the species tha be identified, a few species have not been observed by the survey and are included in the list (Bangana devdevi, Cyclocheilichthys sp., Mystus leucophasis, Hara filamentosa, Hemibagrus microphthalmus, Mystus leucophasis).

  • Zootaxa, Pseudolaguvia (Teleostei: Erethistidae)
    Zootaxa 1044: 35–47 (2005) ISSN 1175-5326 (print edition) www.mapress.com/zootaxa/ ZOOTAXA 1044 Copyright © 2005 Magnolia Press ISSN 1175-5334 (online edition) Two new species of Pseudolaguvia (Teleostei: Erethistidae) from Bangladesh HEOK HEE NG Fish Division, Museum of Zoology, University of Michigan, 1109 Geddes Avenue, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109- 1079, USA. Email: [email protected] Abstract Two new South Asian catfish species of the family Erethistidae, Pseudolaguvia inornata and Pseudolaguvia muricata, are described from the Brahmaputra and Feni River drainages in Bangladesh. Pseudolaguvia inornata from the Feni River drainage can be distinguished from congeners in having a uniform coloration with a pale mid-dorsal stripe and brown submarginal stripes on each lobe of the caudal fin, while P muricata from the Brahmaputra River drainage can be distinguished from congeners by its elongate dorsal and pectoral-fin spines. Key words: Siluriformes, Sisoroidea, Brahmaputra River drainage, South Asia Introduction Members of the genus Pseudolaguvia are small erethistid catfishes that resemble members of the sisorid catfish genus Glyptothorax externally. The genus is only known from river drainages in the area bordered by the Ganges River drainage to the west and the Sittang River drainage to the east. Six species of Pseudolaguvia are considered valid (Ng, 2005): P. ribeiroi (Hora, 1921), P. shawi (Hora, 1921), P. tuberculata (Prashad & Mukerji, 1929), P. kapuri (Tilak & Husain, 1975), P. tenebricosa Britz & Ferraris, 2003 and P. foveolata Ng, 2005. Examination of Pseudolaguvia material collected in Bangladesh revealed two distinct species found to be undescribed. The description of this material as Pseudolaguvia inornata new species, and Pseudolaguvia muricata new species, forms the basis of this study.

  • Zootaxa, Teleostei, Erethistidae, Erethistoides Sicula, India
    Zootaxa 1021: 1–12 (2005) ISSN 1175-5326 (print edition) www.mapress.com/zootaxa/ ZOOTAXA 1021 Copyright © 2005 Magnolia Press ISSN 1175-5334 (online edition) Erethistoides sicula, a new catfish (Teleostei: Erethistidae) from India HEOK HEE NG Fish Division, Museum of Zoology, University of Michigan, 1109 Geddes Avenue, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109- 1079, USA. Email: [email protected] Abstract A new species of erethistid catfish, Erethistoides sicula, is described from the Brahmaputra River drainage in northeast India. Erethistoides sicula differs from both E. montana and E. pipri in having a longer caudal peduncle (19.6–22.3% SL vs. 14.4–18.4) and shorter pectoral spine (14.6–28.0% SL vs. 30.7–32.1). It further differs from E. montana in having a dorsally projecting bony splint on the opercle immediately posterior to its articular facet with the hyomandibula (vs. splint absent) and from E. pipri in having a more slender head (13.4–15.1% SL vs. 16.4). The diagnostic characters of Erethistoides are discussed and four new synapomorphies are proposed to diagnose the genus. Key words: Erethistoides, Erethistidae, Nepal, Ganges River drainage, South Asia Introduction Members of the genus Erethistoides are small erethistid catfishes traditionally diagnosed by a strongly depressed head and body and the presence of diverging serrations (antrorse on the distal half and retrorse on the proximal half) on the anterior edge of the pectoral spine. The genus, known from the sub-Himalayan region of the Indian subcontinent, currently includes two nominal species: E. montana Hora, 1950 and E. pipri (Hora, 1950).

  • Fish and Human Welfare
    Fish in relation to Man and Human Welfare- Prof. Sunil P. Trivedi, Department of Zoology, University of Lucknow, Lucknow-226007 Email: [email protected] Major areas of association Experimental Food & models Nutrition fish-by-products Games & Sports Vector control Bio-indicators Employment 1. Fish as Food: About 75% of the world fish production is used for the human consumption. Fish Consumption is higher in developing countries and lowest in Africa. Around 60% of people of developing countries depend on fish for their animal protein requirements. 2. Fish lipids & Human Nutrition: Fishes are low in calories and many types of fish do not contain any saturated fat. Reduce the cholesterol level in the blood: Oil-rich fish such as mackerel, sardines, herring and sprats are rich in unsaturated fats containing Omega-3 fatty acids which are valuable for health. Fish oils can help to prevent cancer cells progressing to the tumor stage. 3. Fish protein contain sufficient amounts of essential amino acid similar to milk, egg and mammalian meat protein. fish protein improves blood lipid profile in human, Salmonids and herrings are best sources of fish proteins. 4. Fish vitamins: Fishes are excellent source of many essential minerals such as iodine, selenium, zinc, iron, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, vitamins A and D, and several B vitamins. 5. Transgenic Fish may be better used for increasing fish production to meet the growing demand of food, for production of pharmaceutical and other industrial products, as fish biosensors for monitoring aquatic pollution, for isolation of genes, for researches in embryonic stem cells and in-vitro embryo production, for production of anti-freeze protein.
