Chilika with its unique biodiversity wealth, ecological diversity and being known as an avian paradise is the pride of our wetland heritage and the first designated Indian Ramsar Site. The ecosystem services of Chilika are critical to the functioning of our life support system in general and livelihood of more than 0.2 million local fishers and other stakeholders in particular. It is also one of the few lakes in the world which sustain the population of threatened Irrawaddy Dolphin. Chilika also has a long history of its floral and faunal studies which begun since more than a century ago.

The identification of the species of this fish cumbersome and inaccurate in different life stages of the fish. Therefore, DNA sequence of cytochrome Oxidase subunit I gene was analysed for the species identification and phylogenetic relationship of the species. The average genetic distance of conspecifics species value was found to be 0.005%. The present work suggests that COI sequence provides sufficient information on phylogenetic and evolutionary relationship to distinguish the Etroplus suratensis species, the brackish waters species of pearl spots, unambiguously. Further, this work revealed that every species having individual genetic distances depended upon the environmental stress and water quality, which play an important role for its minor morphometric variations. Therefore, it was concluded that a DNA COI barcoding tool can be used for fish identification by non technical personnel (other than taxonomist). ____________________________________________________________________________________ Keywords: DNA barcoding, COI, brackish of more than US$ 3/kg2.

Sparks Division of Vertebrate Zoology, American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West at 79th Street, New York, NY 10024-5192, U.S.A., e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. —Paretroplus dambabe, n. sp., is described from Lake Kinkony, northwestern Madagascar. The new species is distinguished from congeners in Hfe and preservation by light yellowish-oUve body coloration in combination with a series of 6-7 vertical charcoal bars on the flanks, a blunt head profile, body depth not exceeding 57.1%SL, and uniform dark charcoal-gray or black fins. Paretroplus dambabe is further distinguished from P. petiti, a species to which it has been mistakenly referred for decades, by overall pigmentation pattern (light yellow-olive vs. dark brown), the presence of bright red pigmen- tation on the flanks in life, a prominent vertical barring pattern, and a shallower body.

Samples were collected from the landings of Vembanad lake during 2002 - 2004. Male-female ratio was found to be 1:0.8. Maximum GSI in male and female was 1.45 and 4.43 respectively. L50 was 19.5 cm in case of males and 20.0 cm in case of females. Absolute fecundity, varied between 874 and 7554 with an average of 2748. Fish is an asynchronous spawner with different clutches of ova, varied between 0.25 to 2.75 mm.
