Scale Morphologies of Freshwater Fishes at Tembat Forest Reserve, Terengganu, Malaysia (Morfologi Sisik Ikan Air Tawar Di Hutan Simpan Tembat, Terengganu, Malaysia)
Sains Malaysiana 46(9)(2017): 1429–1439 http://dx.doi.org/10.17576/jsm-2017-4609-11 Scale Morphologies of Freshwater Fishes at Tembat Forest Reserve, Terengganu, Malaysia (Morfologi Sisik Ikan Air Tawar di Hutan Simpan Tembat, Terengganu, Malaysia) FARAH AYUNI FARINORDIN*, WAN SERIBANI WAN NILAM, SHAHRIL MOD HUSIN, ABDULLAH SAMAT & SHUKOR MD. NOR ABSTRACT Scales are calcium carbonate and collagen-contained structures embedded within the fish epidermis and useful for species identification. This study aimed to describe morphological characteristics of scales and use the differences to prepare keys to species. Fishes were sampled from selected rivers of Tembat Forest Reserve, Hulu Terengganu. Specimens caught were from 3 families (Cyprinidae, Channidae, Nandidae) and 17 species. Each species was represented by ten individuals (size ranges 2.5 - 50 cm TL). The scales were removed, soaked in H2O2 (0.5%), NH3 (0.3%), DH2O and mounted between a pair of glass slides for digital photographing. The morphological descriptions were based on types of scales, distinctiveness of radii arrangement at the anterior field, radii cover, radii distribution, overall shape, focus position and focus pattern. Keys to species were constructed based on these scale morphological characters described. Measurements of scale total length (L), total width (W), rostral field length (L1) and caudal field length (L2) of the scales were taken using Image J software. The inter-specific variation among scales was indicated by L1/L, L2/L, L1/L2 and W/L indices through multiple comparison tests (ANOVA). It was found that all 17 species showed significant differences with at least one other species in all four indices. -

Box 81651-80100, Mombasa, Kenya 2Pwani University, P.O Box 195-80108, Kilifi County, Kenya Received: 09.03.2021 / Accepted: 23.03.2021 / Published online: 31.03.2021 Abstract: The Baringo barb Labeobarbus intermsdius is one of the least studied native fish species in Lake Baringo, a shallow freshwater lake located in the eastern arm of the Rift Valley, Kenya. This study evaluated aspects of its biology to provide baseline scientific information on the species. Fish were sampled using gillnets and their lengths (to the nearest 0.1 cm) and weight (to the nearest 0.1 g) measured on a meter board and electronic balance respectively. Parameters of the length-weight relationship were obtained by fitting the power equation; W=a × Lb to length and weight data. Each fish was dissected to remove the stomach for stomach content analysis. Gonads examined gonads for sexing and determination of maturity stage. Fish size in a total of 280 individual sampled during the study ranged from 6.0 to 36.0 cm total length and 4.3 to 1314 g total weight. The b value of the length-weight relationship was 3.1177 indicate positive allometric growth. Of 254 sexed individuals 107 were males and 147 were female giving a ratio of male to female to be 1:1.38 which was significantly different from the expected 1:1 sex ratio (chi-square test, p<0.05). -

Mehedi Alam b, Mohammad Mahfujul Haque b,* a Department of Fisheries, University of Rajshahi, Rajshahi, Bangladesh b Department of Aquaculture, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, Bangladesh ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: This study evaluates changes in fish species diversity over time in Hakaluki Haor, an ecologically critical wetland Haor in Bangladesh, and the factors affecting this diversity. Fish species diversity data were collected from fishers using Fish species diversity participatory rural appraisal tools and the change in the fish species diversity was determined using Shannon- Fishers Wiener, Margalef's Richness and Pielou's Evenness indices. Principal component analysis (PCA) was conducted Principal component analysis with a dataset of 150 fishers survey to characterize the major factors responsible for the reduction of fish species Climate change fi Anthropogenic activity diversity. Out of 63 sh species, 83% of them were under the available category in 2008 which decreased to 51% in 2018. Fish species diversity indices for all 12 taxonomic orders in 2008 declined remarkably in 2018. The first PCA (climatic change) responsible for the reduced fish species diversity explained 24.05% of the variance and consisted of erratic rainfall (positive correlation coefficient 0.680), heavy rainfall (À0.544), temperature fluctu- ation (0.561), and beel siltation (0.503). The second PCA was anthropogenic activity, including the use of harmful fishing gear (0.702), application of urea to harvest fish (0.673), drying beels annually (0.531), and overfishing (0.513). -

Received 5 November, 2017; Accepted 2 February, 2018 Morphometric relationships of African big barb, Labeobarbus intermedius (Rüppell, 1836) (Pisces: Cyprinidae) in Lake Koka, Ethiopia was studied based on the total number of 266 adult fish samples collected in April-May and July-August 2011. Fish ranging from 23.3 to 49.0 cm in total length (35±4.1 cm) and from 95.4 to 1200 g in total weight (434.4±206.5 g) were randomly sampled. Of these, 55.6% (n=148) were males and 44.4% (n=118) were females. The length-weight relationship of the males, females and combined fish were curvilinear and statistically significant (P< 0.01). L. intermedius in Lake Koka has positive allometric growth pattern, which was statistically significant (p< 0.01). Females were more allometric in their growth pattern, but statistically not significant (P>0.01). Length-length relationships between total length (TL) and fork length (FL), fork length (FL) and standard length (SL), TL and SL were linear and statistically significant (P<0.01). -
Food and Feeding Habits of the African Big Barb Labeobarbus Intermedius (Rüppell, 1836) in Ethiopian Water Bodies: a Review

Data sources were collected from June, 2017 through November, 2017 from different sources of information. The results from difference study indicated that macrophytes, detritus, insects and phytoplankton are the most important food items in the diet of L. intermedius, whereas the contributions of zooplankton, fish scales and ostracods are relatively low in the diet. Macrophytes and detritus are the important food items reported in the diet of fish during the wet months, whereas phytoplankton and zooplankton are the dominant food items in dry season. The fish showed different ontogenetic shift in different Ethiopian water bodies as it increases in size, except in Lake Tana, where no visible ontogenetic dietary shift was reported. Based on the review, L.intermedius is omnivorous and the dietary pattern of L.intermedius in Ethiopian water bodies shifts with prey availability, season, habitat difference and size of the fish, aspects that might warrant further study in view of aquaculture applications as well as climate change.

The aims of this study are to access sexual dimorphism, the size at first maturity, reproductive potency, and spawning season. Fish sampling was conducted in three zones, 2 stations in each zone by using gill net, cast net, and electro fishing. The caught fishes were preserve in formalin and they were observed in laboratory. The results showed that this fish has sexual dimorphism, the size at first maturity of males 150-182 mm and females and 175-202 mm. The fecundity varied from 2,760 to 50,085 eggs with mean 17,347 eggs. The relationships between fecundity and body length, and fecundity and body weight were linear, positive and significant. The gonad maturity is consisted of five stages. The highest mean Gonado Somatic Index (GSI) of female was found in the upper zone which was followed by the lower zone, i.e. -
