Abstract The magnificent shrimp, Ancylomenes magnificus (Bruce, 1979), is a sea anemone associated marine ornamental organism exploited from Indo-Pacific waters, for the aquarium trade, as it has attractive coloration. However, there are no reports available yet on its population and reproductive characteristics (population structure, length–weight relationship, fecundity, sexual dimorphism, sex ratio maturity stages). present investigation provides information first time parameters of A. ....

Abstract Integrative taxonomy reveals a new troglophilic species of Schistura , from cave‐dwelling population inhabiting stream draining (Barak–Surma–Meghna drainage) through the Krem (=cave) Mawjymbuin in East Khasi Hills Meghalaya. Morphologically, is easily distinguished its congeners having combination characters, including unique colour pattern form 14–20 greyish black to faint bars overimposed midlateral stripe on brown pale beige (yellowish green life); pre‐dorsal thin, numerous,...

A new sisorid catfish, Glyptothorax hymavatiae, is described from the Brahmaputra river basin in Arunachal Pradesh, North-east India on basis of three specimens. It distinguished its congeners having a combination following characters: spindle-shaped thoracic adhesive apparatus, with shallow median depression that opened posteriorly by skin ridges; unculiferous ridges apparatus not extending anteriorly onto gular region; presence plicae ventral surfaces first pectoral and pelvic fins rays,...

This article presents the development of an online information system for aquatic genetic resources India named, Aquatic Genetic Resource Information System (AqGRISI). The is designed with integrated data and user management capabilities. growing importance systems in biological diversity agrobiodiversity has invited attention researchers to make such publicly accessible through digital platforms. AqGRISI developed as a concept framework validated use presently at URL:...

Chitala chitala (Hamilton, 1822) is an economically important food fish species occurring throughout Indian rivers, which also has ornamental value. This study focuses on morphological variations in C. from seven river basins across India namely; Son, Tons, Ken, Brahmaputra, Ganga, Gomti and Gandak. A truss network was constructed by interconnecting nine landmarks to generate 36 morphometric variables extracted digital images of specimens sampled the locations. Transformed measurements were...

A new species of nemacheilid loach, Schistura sonarengaensis sp. nov., is described from three cave-dwelling populations (Barak-Surma-Meghna drainage) in the South Garo Hills district Meghalaya, India. The possesses prominent eyes but easily distinguished all congeners genus Barak-Surma-Meghna and adjacent rivers drainages northeast Indian (except S. syngkai) having 13-26 vertically elongated to circular mid-lateral black blotches (brownish life) overlayered on a grayish-black stripe dull...

Fish stocks that are grown under diverse environmental conditions have different biometric relationships and growth patterns. The length-weight relationship (LWR) is an essential fishery assessment tool, as fish continuous depends on genetic factors. present study attempts to understand the LWR of flathead grey mullet, Mugil cephalus Linnaeus, 1758, from locations. area encompassed its distribution in wild across freshwater location (one), coastal habitats (eight locations), estuaries (six...
