Prior to founding Cobalt, Les spent 17 years with United Pet Group aquatics. He began his career with Marineland as an aquatic biologist, working in and then managing, the aquatics lab. Les personally spearheaded many of the projects you know today, including his favorites Marineland LED lighting, Bio­Spira nitrifying bacteria, corner flow tanks, and the Marineland Deep dimension aquariums. In 2011, he left UPG to start Cobalt International with the goal to get back to his roots as a fish geek and give back to the hobby the lessons he learned. Starting with the basic dietary needs of fish and how we want to augment those needs to keep them in top shape and color in the captive environment, Les will take a deeper look at a unique study done on the effects of immuno­stimulants. We will also discuss labeling requirements and how to read the “GA” and Ingredient lists. Once we have a base knowledge of fish nutrition, we will then finish with how fish food is manufactured. We hope you can join us! Keep those raffle/silent auction items coming in! Visit our raffle chairman before each meeting to drop off donations. If you have non­raffle items for the silent auction, see our silent auction chairpersons (you’ll get a portion of the proceeds). We’re always looking for programs to educate our membership on any aquatic­related topics. If you’d like to be a speaker at any of our future meetings, contact our Program Chairman. © 2015 RAS (All Rights Reserved) www.raleighaquariumsociety.org Page 2 of 24 Raleigh Aquarium Society (RAS) Volume 34, Issue 5 May 2015 RAS Club Officers and Committee Chairs: President: Frank Montillo [fmontillo @ aol.com] Vice­President and Vendor Coordinator: Jon Haddad [jhaddad88 @ comcast.net] Secretary and Newsletter Editor: Michael Maieli [michaelmaieli @ aol.com] Treasurer and BAP Chairman: Larry Jinks [bapman13 @ hotmail.com] Past President and Program Chairman: Todd Wenzel [wenzelt @ netzero.net] Workshop/Auction Chairman: Chris Smith [ctyank @ frontier.com] Monthly Raffle Chairman: Robert Sanderford [onearmr @ gmail.com] Monthly Silent Auction Chairpersons: Richard Poole and Maggie Poole Field Trip Coordinator: Jeremy Maciejewski [jjmaciej @ yahoo.com] Utility Chairpersons: Jeff Jenkins and Emily Hirtle Yahoo Groups/Forum Administrator: Gerald Pottern [gbpottern @ yahoo.com] Webmaster: Matt DeGroodt [degmat @ gmail.com] From the Fishing Desk: The Raleigh area had a late winter this year, but the warm weather is now here to stay and the cub has planned quite a number of activities for the spring and summer. We will have at least 2 stream cleanups combined with collecting trips at our adopted stream in North Raleigh, plus we’ll have our usual summer picnic at Umstead Park, and we will visit several shops/aquariums before our fall auction (which this year will be in November after the NC State Fair). We should remind members that presentation of your RAS membership card will get you free admission to any of our 3 public North Carolina state aquariums on our coast at Manteo (near Cape Hatteras), Pine Knoll Shores (near Cape Lookout), or Fort Fisher (near Cape Fear). We are also negotiating a reduced rate at some of the other nearby aquariums in Virginia, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Georgia at the present time. We’d like to know some of the other activities you would like to do and so will be sending out a survey form shortly to solicit your feedback. We welcome any comments. A general election for the vacating office of Vice­President will be held at the June meeting. Those interested in running for that office should send a note of their intent to the club secretary at our email address. The club has also planned a few “experimental” Saturday meetings for later in the year to help make attendance easier for our younger members. We are also starting to plan for our 2016 workshop now which will be held next March. Don’t forget our new and improved website is now hosted by SquareSpace; we’d like to hear your comments Membership dues are $20.00 per calendar year, starting each January. This is a per­household price. Pro­ rated fees for joining at other times of the year are listed on our application form (the last page of every newsletter). Kindly remit your dues in person to the club treasurer or by mail to our P. O. Box. Contributions to this newsletter are always welcome. This includes business/technical articles, items to buy/sell/trade/donate, activity updates, forum posts, trip reports, classes, job openings, etc. Submit news softcopy via e­mail or hardcopy via our P.O.Box. When communication to us in any form, please include your full name, phone number, and e­mail address. Monthly newsletters are published about a week prior to each regular club meeting and sent blindcopy to your e­mail address on file. If you have any updates to your contact information (including subscription removal), or any questions about our newsletter, web page, forum, MEETUP page (join us on MEETUP!), or FACEBOOK page (like us on FACEBOOK!), please contact the club secretary. FYI, last month’s find the hidden RAS logo was contained in both the “Something’s Fishy” section. A final note should be made about the locations we use for any of our meetings, events, or outings ­ please keep in mind that we are guests of these facilities and must treat all property and equipment in a responsible manner. Direct any concerns to the club secretary for resolution. Thank you for your responsible actions.

Abstract Background: Paedocypris, a highly developmentally truncated fish from peat swamp forests in Southeast Asia, comprises the world's smallest vertebrate. Although clearly a cyprinid fish, a hypothesis about its phylogenetic position among the subfamilies of this largest teleost family, with over 2400 species, does not exist.

  • Minnows and Molecules: Resolving the Broad and Fine-Scale Evolutionary Patterns of Cypriniformes
    Minnows and molecules: resolving the broad and fine-scale evolutionary patterns of Cypriniformes by Carla Cristina Stout A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama May 7, 2017 Keywords: fish, phylogenomics, population genetics, Leuciscidae, sequence capture Approved by Jonathan W. Armbruster, Chair, Professor of Biological Sciences and Curator of Fishes Jason E. Bond, Professor and Department Chair of Biological Sciences Scott R. Santos, Professor of Biological Sciences Eric Peatman, Associate Professor of Fisheries, Aquaculture, and Aquatic Sciences Abstract Cypriniformes (minnows, carps, loaches, and suckers) is the largest group of freshwater fishes in the world. Despite much attention, previous attempts to elucidate relationships using molecular and morphological characters have been incongruent. The goal of this dissertation is to provide robust support for relationships at various taxonomic levels within Cypriniformes. For the entire order, an anchored hybrid enrichment approach was used to resolve relationships. This resulted in a phylogeny that is largely congruent with previous multilocus phylogenies, but has much stronger support. For members of Leuciscidae, the relationships established using anchored hybrid enrichment were used to estimate divergence times in an attempt to make inferences about their biogeographic history. The predominant lineage of the leuciscids in North America were determined to have entered North America through Beringia ~37 million years ago while the ancestor of the Golden Shiner (Notemigonus crysoleucas) entered ~20–6 million years ago, likely from Europe. Within Leuciscidae, the shiner clade represents genera with much historical taxonomic turbidity. Targeted sequence capture was used to establish relationships in order to inform taxonomic revisions for the clade.

  • Molecular Phylogeny of the Opsariichthys
    Zoological Studies 56: 40 (2017) doi:10.6620/ZS.2017.56-40 Open Access Molecular Phylogeny of the Opsariichthys Group (Teleostei: Cypriniformes) Based On Complete Mitochondrial Genomes Shih-Pin Huang1, Feng-Yu Wang2, and Tzi-Yuan Wang1,* 1Biodiversity Research Center, Academia Sinica, Nankang, Taipei, Taiwan.

Chan) Shih-Pin Huang, Feng-Yu Wang, and Tzi-Yuan Wang (2017) The complete mitochondrial genomes of 76 species from 43 genera under Cyprinidae sensu lato were collected to reassess the molecular phylogeny of Opsariichthyinae sensu Liao et al. 2011. The mitogenomes of three species, Candidia barbata, Opsariichthys evolans, and Opsariichthys pachycephalus, were newly sequenced. Phylogenetic trees were reconstructed based on 13 concatenated multiple protein-coding genes with two ribosomal RNA genes. The concatenated dataset provided a new perspective on systematics and relationships. Tree topologies show that a monophyletic group containing Parazacco, Candidia, Nipponocypris, Zacco, and Opsariichthys should belong to the Opsariichthys group. In addition, the present results also strongly support that Candidia and Nipponocypris should be regarded as distinct genera within the Opsariichthys group. Aphyocypris, Yaoshanicus, Nicholsicypris, and Pararasbora form a monophyletic group within Xenocyprididae, distinct from the Opsariichthys group. Furthermore, Hemigrammocypris is nested with four species of Metzia, a genus of ex-Cultrinae in Xenocyprididae. In addition, two major types of distinct stripes - longitudinal and vertical - were observed among species of the Opsariichthys group and were highly correlated with molecular phylogenetic relationships.
