Abstract Freshwater ecosystems are highly biodiverse 1 and important for livelihoods economic development 2 , but under substantial stress 3 . To date, comprehensive global assessments of extinction risk have not included any speciose groups primarily living in freshwaters. Consequently, data from predominantly terrestrial tetrapods 4,5 used to guide environmental policy 6 conservation prioritization 7 whereas recent proposals target setting freshwaters use abiotic factors 8–13 However,...
Sarcocheilichthys vittatus, a new species of gudgeon, is described from the Gan-Jiang and Fu-He flowing into Poyang Lake Basin in Jiangxi Province, South China. It similar to S. parvus caobangensis having longitudinal black band extending snout tip caudal-fin base, character separating them all other congeneric species, but distinct more lateral-line scales, no yellowish stripe above lateral on flank barbels, possessing two shorter lobes lower lip restricted only side jaw, spots along...
Speolabeo hokhanhi, new species, is here described from Hang Va Cave in Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park (Son River basin) Central Vietnam. It can be distinguished S. musaei by having no papillae on the lower lip, hump immediately behind head, a duckbilled snout, shorter caudal peduncle (length 16.8–18.6% SL), and pelvic fin inserted closer to snout tip than caudal-fin base.
The gastromyzontid genus Vanmanenia was established by Hora in 1932, based on the type species Vanmaneniastenosoma. is a loach group adapted to running waters of streams from southern China, northern Vietnam and Laos. Currently, 19 valid have been recognised. northernmost distribution Yangtze River (= Chang-Jiang Chinese) Basin five (V.maculata, V.intermedia, V.stenosoma, V.pseudostriata V.gymnetrus) reported Basin.Vanmaneniamarmorata, new hillstream loach, here described middle Guizhou...
The identity and validity of Liobagrus kingi Tchang, 1935 remain contentious to date due its inaccurate original description. A re-description is provided here for this species based on our examination type, hitherto deposited in ASIZB available topotypic material. It confirmed that L. a with serrated posterior edge the pectoral-fin spine distinct from sympatrically existing nigricauda. Comments former recognitions specimens upper Chang-Jiang basin as are presented.
A new species of the spiny loach genus Niwaella is described herein from Xiu-Shui river, an affluent Lake Poyang in Jiangxi Province, China. This distinguished all other congeneric China due to having a unique body coloration, comprising 20-25 transverse black bars on dorsum and upper part flank. Other characteristics, though not exclusive this species, include indistinct blackish mid-dorsal stripe nape caudal-fin base, lower jaw fully covered by lip; 17-20 vertical flank, short suborbital...
Elucidating the emergence and maintenance of cryptic diversity is a major focus evolutionary biology. Integrative taxonomy widely considered as best practice for delimiting species exploring speciation. This approach used here to study Leptobotia citrauratea complex, group small-sized loaches so far found in subtropical floodplains hills eastern China. A total 170 specimens were collected from 24 sampling sites, encompassing geographical variations divergent habitas. Six putative species,...
Two new species of Homatula are herein described from the Wu-Jiang upper Chang-Jiang Basin in Guizhou Province, China. xiangzhi and H. shexiang respectively assigned to scaleless group partially scaled genus. differs all other having a complete lateral line, an adipose crest along dorsal mid-line caudal peduncle anteriorly terminating behind middle anal-fin base, nine branched dorsal-fin rays, vertebrae 4+42-43 no median notch on lower jaw. is similar longidorsalis rays rather than seven or...
A select set of microalgae are reported to be able catalyse photobiological H(2) production from water. Based on the model organism Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a method was developed for screening naturally occurring H(2)-producing microalgae. By purging algal cultures with N(2) in dark and subsequent illumination, it is possible rapidly induce evolution. Using NMR spectroscopy metabolic profiling C. acetate, formate, ethanol were found key compounds contributing variance during assay. This...
The identification problems of cultrin fish species from East Asia are discussed. Culter oxycephalus Bleeker, 1871 is found to be a senior synonym oxycephaloides Kreyenberg & Pappenheim, 1908 and redescribed. abramoides Dybowski, 1872 Erythroculter dabryi shinkainensis Yi Zhu, 1959. Examination three specimens identified as recurviceps by John Treadwell Nichols was in error. Based on the data obtained during field survey coupled with known literature latest taxonomic development relevant...
Bashimyzon , new genus, is here established for Erromyzon damingshanensis and a species of the genus described from You-Jiang Pearl River (=Zhu-Jiang in mandarin Chinese) basin Guangxi Province, South China. This has small gill opening above pectoral-fin base short pectoral fins extending backwards pelvic-fin insertions, both characters combined to separate it all currently-recognized gastromyzontid genera except Protomyzon but differs two having larger gap between posterior edge eye...
A taxonomic revision of the nemacheilid genus Claea from China is provided based on molecular and morphological data. Three species are identified in this genus: C. dabryi (type species), wulongensis (a originally recognized Triplophysa), minibarba sp. nov., here described mid-upper Chang-Jiang basin northwestern Hubei Province, South China. This new differs two congeneric having a deeper body, further shorter outer rostral maxillary barbels, possessing higher count vertebrae,...
A new genus and two species are described from the Pearl River drainage in Guangxi Province, South China. Hongshuia, genus, can be distinguished all other Asian genera of Labeonini by having a lower lip with its median lobe modified into round, fleshy plate peripherally greatly protruded so as to form ring-like fold that is posteromedially continuous mental region, centrally sunken flat, pad. This distinct labeonine Garrina except for one newly Parasinilabeo (P. longibarbus),...
Garra dengba is here described from the Chayu-Qu, a tributary flowing into Brahmaputra River, in Chayu County, eastern Tibet, China. It shares presence of an incipient proboscis on snout with G. arupi, elongata, gravelyi, kalpangi, and rotundinasus, but distinguished these five species having, among other features, fewer branched dorsal- anal-fin rays more perforated lateral-line scales. Its validity was also confirmed by molecular phylogenetic analysis based cytochrome b gene.
Abstract The tapertail anchovy Coilia brachygnathus , a commercially important species mainly distributed along the mid‐lower Chang‐Jiang basin, is by far most dominant in Lake Honghu. To figure out its success this semiclosed lake, some basic biological parameters of were analysed based on samples seasonally collected from October 2020 to December 2021. results demonstrated that age classes fished individuals varied 0.5 3.5, with majority (97.36%) being between and 3 years old. size at 50%...
Abstract The cyprinid genus Garra is so far represented in Mount Kenya streams by a single species, but which species it should be referred to as remains yet determined. Molecular phylogenetic analysis of from the mountain still lacking. Here, an integrative analysis, based on morphological and molecular data, unravelled hidden diversity Kenya. In mitochondrial genes‐based trees, samples formerly identified dembeensis nested into three distinct lineages that were distantly allied lineage...
