The mitotic chromosome preparation was directly prepared from kidney cells of ten male and eight female specimens. Conventional stain- ing and Ag-NOR banding techniques were applied to stain the chromosomes. The results shown that the diploid chromosome number of M. cheveyi was 2n=78 and the fundamental numbers (NF) were 96 in both sexes. The karyotype composed of 4 large metacentric, 6 large submetacentric, 10 large acrocentric, 32 medium telocentric, and 26 small telocentric chromosomes. No heteromorphic sex chromosomes were revealed. In addition, the telo- meric NORs were clearly observed at the short arm adjacent to the telomere of the third chromosome pair (sub- metacentric chromosomes). The karyotype formula for M. cheveyi is as follows: m sm a t t 2n (diploid)78=L4 +L 6 +L 10 +M 32 +S 26 Key words Micronema cheveyi, Chromosome, Nucleolar organizer regions (NORs), Karyotype.

The present study was undertaken in order to untangle some of the problems of classification which have beset this group. The genera have not been studied in toto since the days of Bleeker and Gunther. In this study I have made an attempt to clarify the relationships of the various genera, which in some cases has involved revision of generic limits. Lack of time and material has precluded a thorough analysis of the species within any genus; for the same reason no skeletal examinations were possible. It is hoped, however, that a clarification of generic limits through study of external characters will make it easier in the future for interested workers, with sufficient material at hand, to do further and much-needed work on both the genera and the species.

  • Employing Geographical Information Systems in Fisheries Management in the Mekong River: a Case Study of Lao PDR
    Employing Geographical Information Systems in Fisheries Management in the Mekong River: a case study of Lao PDR Kaviphone Phouthavongs A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the Degree of Master of Science School of Geosciences University of Sydney June 2006 ABSTRACT The objective of this research is to employ Geographical Information Systems to fisheries management in the Mekong River Basin. The study uses artisanal fisheries practices in Khong district, Champasack province Lao PDR as a case study. The research focuses on integrating indigenous and scientific knowledge in fisheries management; how local communities use indigenous knowledge to access and manage their fish conservation zones; and the contribution of scientific knowledge to fishery co-management practices at village level. Specific attention is paid to how GIS can aid the integration of these two knowledge systems into a sustainable management system for fisheries resources. Fieldwork was conducted in three villages in the Khong district, Champasack province and Catch per Unit of Effort / hydro-acoustic data collected by the Living Aquatic Resources Research Centre was used to analyse and look at the differences and/or similarities between indigenous and scientific knowledge which can supplement each other and be used for small scale fisheries management. The results show that GIS has the potential not only for data storage and visualisation, but also as a tool to combine scientific and indigenous knowledge in digital maps. Integrating indigenous knowledge into a GIS framework can strengthen indigenous knowledge, from un processed data to information that scientists and decision-makers can easily access and use as a supplement to scientific knowledge in aquatic resource decision-making and planning across different levels.

Fish were collected with 3 randomized samplings per season at 6 stations using 6 sets of gillnets. A total of 45 fish species were found and most were in the Cyprinidae family. The catch by gillnets was dominated by Parambassis siamensis with an average CPUE for gillnets set at night of 807.77 g/100 m2/night. No differences were detected on CPUE between the seasonal surveys. However, the CPUEs were significantly different (P<0.05) between the stations. The Pak Narmkam station had a higher CPUE compared to the Pak Narmpung station (1,609.25±1,461.26 g/100 m2/night vs. 297.38±343.21 g/100 m2/night). The results of the study showed that the Nong Han Wetlands is a lentic lake and the fish abundance was found to be medium. There were a few small fish species that could adapt to living in the ecosystem. Keywords: fish species, fish composition, abundance, CPUE, Nong Han wetland 1.

  • Khảo Sát Thành Phần Loài Cá Ở Vườn Quốc Gia Tràm Chim
    Tạp chí Khoa học Công nghệ Nông nghiệp Việt Nam - Số 6(115)/2020 KHẢO SÁT THÀNH PHẦN LOÀI CÁ Ở VƯỜN QUỐC GIA TRÀM CHIM, ĐỒNG THÁP Trần Đắc Định1, Nguyễn Thị Vàng1, Nguyễn Trung Tín1, Dương Văn Ni2 TÓM TẮT Khảo sát thành phần loài cá ở Vườn Quốc gia (VQG) Tràm Chim được thực hiện vào tháng 10 năm 2018 (mùa mưa) và tháng 3 năm 2019 (mùa khô) ở các kiểu sinh cảnh là lung sen, đồng cỏ năng, rừng tràm và kênh rạch. Kết quả khảo sát đã thu và định danh được 68 loài cá thuộc 9 bộ và 26 họ, trong đó có 5 loài trong danh mục Sách đỏ IUCN (cá lòng tong đỏ - Rasbora urophthalmoides, Cá duồng - Cirrhinus microlepis, Cá leo - Wallago attu, Cá trê vàng - Clarias macrocephalus, Cá lia thia - Betta splendens) và 1 loài ngoại lai (cá lau kính - Pterygoplichthys pardalis) có nguy cơ xâm hại hệ sinh thái. Kết quả cũng cho thấy sự đa dạng thành phần loài và mức độ phong phú của nguồn lợi cá chịu ảnh hưởng bởi mùa vụ, mùa mưa đa dạng hơn so với mùa khô. Đối với sinh cảnh kênh rạch, thành phần loài cá ở vùng đệm đa dạng hơn so với ở bên trong VQG; vì vậy cần có giải pháp quản lý thích hợp nhằm duy trì sự đa dạng thành phần loài cá bên trong VQG từ nguồn giống tự nhiên trong giai đoạn ngập lũ. Từ khóa: Thành phần loài cá, khảo sát,Vườn Quốc gia Tràm Chim I.
