Garra fluviatilis is a new species described herein from the Kwai Noi, Mae Khlong basin, in Thong Pha Phum District of Kanchanaburi Province western Thailand. It diagnosed by following combination morphological characters: well developed upper lip with unculiferous papillae, mottled pigmentation pattern, pleated papilliferous fold at junction anterolateral lobe and anteromedial on lower lip, 4–5 anal scales, relatively deep body, keeled nape, laterally straight anterior margin fold. Based...
This investigation and critical revision of the ichthyofauna Tajikistan is result two nationwide surveys completed by authors in 2017 2019 combined with an analytical examination previous studies. The includes 60 species, which 44 are native 15 nonnative, while one species (Cyprinus carpio) represented populations alien origin. Seven recorded neighboring countries could potentially be found Tajikistan, 12 introduced nonnaturalized, were erroneously identified as belonging to extinct. current...
Exostoma oschanini, presently treated as a junior synonym of Glyptosternon reticulatum, is revalidated within based on phylogenetic analysis the CO1 gene and morphological characters. oschanini known to occur in tributaries Syr Darya River Uzbekistan Kyrgyzstan may also Amu drainage. A diagnosis description are provided for G. oschanini. gracile rather than reticulatum.
Torrent catfishes of the subfamily Glyptosterninae from Bhutan are examined based on morphological and molecular data. Five new species described: Creteuchiloglanis bumdelingensis sp. nov., Exostoma mangdechhuensis Parachiloglanis benjii P. dangmechhuensis drukyulensis nov. Molecular data derived mitochondrial gene Cyt b nuclear RAG2 recovered relationships within Glyptosterninae. A dichotomous key to is provided.
Abstract Over the past century dams have played a major role in restructuring North American stream communities. Effects of large on fish assemblages are well studied; however, effects small relatively unstudied. Sunfishes (family Centrarchidae) include many meso‐ and apex predators that key components lotic lentic ecosystems. Additionally, centrarchids widely introduced into impoundments beyond their native ranges. Here, we examine sunfish at 75 sites associated with Neuse, Tar, Roanoke...
Parachiloglanis bhutanensis is a newly discovered species of torrent catfish from eastern Bhutan. With its discovery, the genus no longer monotypic. The differs hodgarti in meristic, mensural, and coloration characters. confirmed as member by absence post-labial grove on lower lip, which present other genera subfamily Glyptosterninae (as either complete or incomplete). It diagnosed within presence (versus absence) series 35–40 large white pores along lateral line, tall adipose fin (roughly...
Garra robertsi is described from specimens collected the Sungai Bongan and Tempassuk rivers in Sabah, Borneo. The species differentiated G. borneensis, its only congener on island of Borneo, having five (versus four) transverse scale rows above lateral line, first branched dorsal-fin ray extending beyond posterior-most extent any other part dorsal fin when depressed not posteriorly last depressed), breast with deeply embedded scales exposed scales), fewer tubercles snout, thin thick)...
Alburnoides holciki was described from the Hari River basin, which only basin it known from. Populations Amu Darya were previously recognized as A. eichwaldii or sp. Our study specimens of based on morphological data and COI barcode gene. The population Zeravshan showed some differences compared to others but similar in gene needs further investigation. New results extend range for almost 1000 km from upper tributaries Tajikistan. intraspecific genetic similarity between populations rivers...
The fish fauna of the Kabul River downstream City face threats from increasing human population such as pollution, overfishing, and increased development. Despite rapid increase these activities leading to fishes in River, no studies have examined changes diversity, distribution, abundance surrounding City. In this study, was divided into two zones (upstream downstream) consisting six sampling sites (3 per zone). Of total 1,190 collected, Cypriniformes dominant order with one family, genera,...
