T. NICHOLS Incident to study of the Museum's recently acquired Asiatic collec- tions, a number of new species and races of Chinese fresh-water fishes have been described. A somewhat more complete report on Chinese material to hand may now appropriately be made by listing all the species examined. Much more study is necessary before an authoritative check- list of the fishes of this area can be drawn up, but it should be helpful to others working to that end to list, with species contained in our collec- tions, those encountered in the literature which offhand appear to be valid. The asterisk (*) signifies a specimen in The American Museum of Natural History. Only strictly fresh-water fishes are included in this list, marine forms, the occurrence of which in fresh water is fortuitous, are not included; nor are representatives of essentially marine groups, even when such species occur regularly in fresh as well as in salt water. The area is restricted to old China from the outer limits of Chihli Province on the northeast to the outer.

This was necessary because the current risk limts have not been derived according to the most recent methodology. Main uses of triphenyltin were for wood preservation and as antifouling on ships. The use as antifouling has been banned within Europe since 2003. The Dutch Steering Committee for Substances will set new standards on the basis of the scientific advisory values in this report.

  • Diet of the Zooplanktivorous Icefish Neosalanx Pseudotaihuensis
    Iranian Journal of Fisheries Sciences 12(3) 561-576 2013 Seasonal changes in icefish diel feeding patterns in Lake Chaohu, a large shallow eutrophic lake of China Guo, L.*; Xie, P.; Deng, D.; Yang, H.; Zhou, Q. Received: March 2012 Accepted: July 2012 Abstract Seasonal changes in the diel feeding patterns of the zooplanktivorous icefish (Neosalanx taihuensis), which is an endemic species of China, were studied in the large, shallow eutrophic Lake Chaohu of China during the autumn of 2002 and summer of 2003. The results of the diel feeding rhythm indicate that icefish is a visual particulate feeder. There were large differences in diet composition and the selection indices of certain prey by icefish. In general, icefish fed more on calanoids than on cyclopoids, and fed more on larger cladocerans (i.e., Daphnia, Moina, Leptodora) than smaller cladocerans (i.e., Bosmina, Ceriodaphnia). Icefish is highly selective of individual food items, with prey selection also being dependent on fish size. There was no significant difference in the prey selection between male and female icefish. This study provides the first report of diel feeding rhythm in icefish, and is the first comparative study on prey selection between male and female icefish.

  • Use of Antifouling Paints on Ship Hulls Over Past Four Decades and Consequent Imposex: a Review
    International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN (Online): 2319-7064 Index Copernicus Value (2013): 6.14 | Impact Factor (2013): 4.438 Use of Antifouling Paints on Ship Hulls over Past Four Decades and Consequent Imposex: A Review Nuzhat Afsar Assistant Professor, Institute of Marine Science, University of Karachi, Karachi-75270, Pakistan Abstract: Review provides the historic stance, general overview of gastropod populations being served as biosensors and developments in imposex detection. Typically muricoid species belonging to genus Nucella and Thais have been found to be good bioindicators globally. Although up to seven (7) imposex developmental stages have been described based on organotin accumulation by an organism and resultant morphological expression (penis and vas deferens development in females) due to endocrine disruption and steroidal imbalance. From Pakistan phenomenon of imposex has been described in nine (9) species of meso and neogasrtropods. Imposex stages 1-4 and 4+ have been found in examined muricids, bursid and buccinid species which revealed the moderate contamination effects on gastropod populations found along the Pakistan coast. Some archaeogastropods from Japan and Pakistan have also been tested respectively for reproductive fitness due to possible contamination effects. Keywords: shipping traffic, antifouling paints, gastropods, endocrine disruption 1. Introduction The application of TBT based antifouling paints was banned in the late 1980s in many countries. Legislation The phenomenon of imposex in gastropod species is have been implemented to restrict the use of TBT in anti globally recognized as a cheap, easily applied biological fouling paints [15-16] then finally a global ban on the use indicator test and marine gastropod species being served as of TBT from 2003 to 2008 was imposed by the biosensors have provided a guideline in assigning International Maritime Organization (IMO) to restrict and priorities for more rigorous chemical analysis and to remove all existing coatings from ship hulls [17].
