Abstract:

The present study deals with the species diversity of fishes in Manimala River with reference to Eraviperoor region, Pathanamthitta, Kerala, India. The Manimala River forms the northern and north-western boundary and Varattar (a branch of river Pamba) forms the southern boundary of the study area. The wetlands (mainly paddy fields) consist of 18 small to medium-sized water bodies functioning as a water source for agriculture. A chain of canals connects many of them in the lower areas while the remaining ones get interconnected during monsoon floods during which the movement of fishes from rivers to other water bodies takes place. These small water bodies are extremely significant for the preservation and sustenance of the biodiversity of fishes. 24 species belonging to 12 families and 5 orders were collected and identified. This includes10 species from the family Cyprinidae, 3 species from the family Channidae, 2 species from family Cichlidae, and 1 species each from families Hemiramphidae, Belonidae, Anabantidae, Osphronemidae, Heteropneustidae, Claridae, Siluridae, Tetraodontidae, and Ambassidae.

Abstract:

The fishes plays an important role in human health and national economy. The current study was undertaken with the purpose of assessing the fish diversity in Duglapura lake of Chikmagalur district, Karnataka during June to December 2009. The present study has shown that lake supports low fish diversity and hence 12 fish species were recorded belonging to 4 orders, 6 families and 11 genera. Among the families Cyprinidae was the most dominant in the assemblage composition with 58.33% and rest of the families viz., Channidae, Cichlidae, Gobiidae, Notopteridae and Heteropneustidae each with 8.33% respectively. As far as Biodiversity status is concerned (IUCN-1994), 05 fish species are categorized into LR-nt, 3 Not assessed 3 Vulnerable and one as LR-lc respectively. Economic value of fishes is discussed in this paper. Therefore, for the proper management and utilization of this fish wealth, it is necessary to take up the sustainable steps to monitor and conserve this fish health in this lake<strong>.</strong>

Abstract:

The present study was conducted to assess the features of the stinging catfish Heteropneustes fossilis (Bloch) in terms of total length (TL), total weight (TW) and growth performance and survival rate after treatment of fish feed with a synthetic male hormone, 17 α-methyltestosterone (17 α-MT) under laboratory conditions. Results showed that TL in the untreated (C) and T1 group of fishes differed significantly (p<0.05) even though the overall effect of the hormone did not influence TL of the fishes under study (p = 0.085). A similar result was observed for TW, but the overall impact of 17-αMT on TW of H. fossilis was highly significant one (p<0.001), indicating that the TW was increased much more than the TL due to the hormone treatment in the experimental fishes. Growth performances of the fishes in terms of their gains in TL and TW due to the hormone treatment and over a rearing period of four months from March to June showed that compared to the control groups, all three treatment groups increased in both the morphometric parameters in H. fossilis. The increases in TW were more drastic than the corresponding increases in TL. Notably, the hormone treatments did not affect the survival of the experiment fishes under study. Histopathological changes in the intestine of T2 fishes were characterized by hemorrhage and degeneration of villi, whereas hemorrhage, degeneration of serosa and rapture of villi were remarkable in T3 group. Enlarged glomeruli, lots of vacuoles, disorganization of renal tubules and necrosis were observed in T2 whereas the T3 group was characterized by vacuoles, disorganization of tubules, enlarging glomeruli and wider tubular lumen. Since the present results clearly demonstrated that 17 α-MT treatments enhanced the total length and weight as well as growth performance of H. fossilis, carefully designed experiments with appropriate doses of the hormone in fish feed would be beneficial for the commercial production and conservation of this popular catfish in the country.

Abstract:

Contracaecum is a genus of nematodes belonging to the family Anisakidae, that parasitise many fishes which act as an intermediate or paratenic hosts, while the piscivorous birds and mammals are definitive hosts. A total of 44 third larval stage of Contracaecum were collected from 13 infected freshwater fishes belonging to five different species in different water bodies in Sulaimani Province, Kurdistan Region, Iraq from January to the end of December 2018. In this investigation, 966 fishes were collected including six species of Nemacheilidae, five species of Cyprinidae, three species of Leuciscidae, two species of Xenocyprididae, one species of each of Bagridae, Heteropneustidae, Mastacembelidae, Mugilidae, Siluridae and Sisoridae. This study revealed that five fish species (Cyprinus carpio, Luciobarbus barbulus, L. esocinus, L. xanthopterus and Mastacembelus mastacembelus) were infected with Contracaecum larvae with the prevalence of 2.05%, 0.92%, 1.92%, 19.35% and 1.06%, respectively. The Contracaecum larvae were morphologically studied by compound light microscope and the molecular analyses was done by amplification, sequencing and comparing different gene loci (ITS1, ITS2 and COX2) of isolated third larval stage of Contracaecum. The ITS1, ITS2 and COX2 were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequenced. The sequences of ITS1, ITS2 and COX2 reveal that all Contracaecum larvae from all infected fishes represented exactly one species (Contracaecum rudolphii B) based on compering and identity percentage in Gene Bank database. Phylogenetic analysis of the genotype (for ITS1) was described. The genetic characterization of the Contracaecum larvae in the present study is available in the GenBank database and they were deposited in GenBank and their accession numbers were demonstrated.

Abstract:

The present study compared the effectiveness of the Carp pituitary gland extract (PGE) and the synthetic hormone Ovaprim on spawning success of the stinging catfish, Heteropneustes fossilis during induced breeding. The PGE hormone was administered at 6 mg/kg of body weight for females and 2 mg/kg of body weight for males. In contrast, Ovaprim was administered at 0.3 ml/kg body weight and 0.1 ml/kg of body weight for females and males, respectively. The spawning success was higher in the Ovaprim-induced individuals with better performance recorded at all stages of spawning including latency period, ovulation, fertilization, hatching and incubation period compared to the PGE-induced individuals. In the Ovaprim induced individuals, the latency period occurred within 10 hours while in PG-induced individuals, the latency was after 15 hours. Similarly, ovulation rate was 90% for Ovaprim injected fish but lower 78.7% for PGE injected fish. Higher rate of fertilization was observed in the eggs of Ovaprim treated fishes 86.7% compared to 69.2% in PGE induced fish. On the other hand, hatching rate was 76.9% in eggs spawned from Ovaprim induced individuals compared to 72.7% in PGE induced fish and the incubation period was also shorter at 3.5 h for eggs from Ovaprim-induced fish while the PGE induced fish eggs required a 5-h incubation period. Finally, the results showed that Ovaprim treated fish yielded better results compared the PGE treated fish in terms of ovulation, fertilization and hatching rates of H. fossilis.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/on.v10i1.7755

Abstract:

The study was conducted to assess the fish diversity and water quality in the Bhadar-II reservoir, located in Rajkot district of Gujarat. Monthly sampling was carried out from September 2023 to April 2024. A total of 19 fish species were recorded during the study period. Cypriniformes was the dominant order in terms of species diversity (9 species), followed by Siluriformes (5 species), Anabantiformes (3 species), Osteoglossiformes (1 species) and Cichliformes (1 species). The dominant families were Cyprinidae (9 species), followed by Channidae (3 species), Siluridae (2 species), and 1 species each from Claridae, Heteropneustidae, Cichlidae, Pangasiidae, and Notopteridae. The catfish population was the most prevalent, accounting for 26% of the total fish population, followed by minor carp at 21%. Major carp, exotic fish, and murrels each contributed 16%, while featherback fish had the lowest at 5%. The fish data was subjected to species diversity analysis. The Shannon-Wiener Index values ranged from 1.776 to 2.546, indicating monthly fluctuations in diversity levels. This range suggests that the habitat structure was moderately stable. Pielou's Evenness Index values ranged from 0.8080 to 0.8880, showing a gradual increase in evenness over time. This increase can be attributed to a decline in the population of the dominant species. Species richness, as measured by the Margalef Richness Index, ranged from 1.278 to 2.477, with the highest species richness observed in November during the winter season. Monthly observations of physicochemical parameters showed the range of water temperature from 23.4°C to 30.1°C, dissolved oxygen levels from 6.7 to 8.9 mg/l, pH from 7.6 to 8.3, alkalinity between 139.4 to 156.2 mg/l, and total hardness from 94.2 to 133.1 mg/l.

Abstract:

AbstractThe osteological and myological structures of the cephalic region and pectoral girdle of the Asiatic catfish Heteropneustes fossilis are described and compared with those of several other catfishes, as the foundation for an analysis on the phylogenetic relationships of the genus Heteropneustes. Our observation and comparisons support a close relationship between Heteropneustes and the clariid catfishes. More specifically, the present study supports De Pinna's 1993 study, according to which Horaglanis and Uegitglanis, two genera commonly included in the family Clariidae, are the successive sister-groups of a monophyletic clade composed by the genus Heteropneustes and the remaining clariid genera.

Abstract:

India, having numerous rivers, is enriched with varieties of flora and fauna in and around it. The total catchment area of the river basin is about 2.5 lakh km2 or 81% of the total geographical area of India. All over India, there are remarkably diverse ranges of aquatic life. 950 freshwater and 1570 marine fish species, a total of 2500, are found which occupies 1.5% of the world's total fish species. Fish is full of nutrition and a prime source of aquatic food. But in this fast-developing urbanization era: anthropogenic activities, industrialization, population, elevated air temperature, global warming, drought, flood, pollution, and monsoonal ups and downs equally put pressure on the climate, ecosystem, society, and economy, increasing pressure on all livelihoods and food supplies, including those in the fisheries and aquaculture sector. The actual properties of climates are being changed very rapidly. Fish availability in the monsoonal season is more than in the summer season. Therefore, the present study aims to determine the present status of fish biodiversity of river Gandak and the significant role of climate change on them. The study was conducted from January 2022 to August 2022 in Gandak river. Overall, 25 individuals of fishes were recorded and characterized which belonging to 12 families, Cyprinidae (32%) was most abundant, followed by Channidae (12%), then Bagridae, Siluridae, Cobitidae, Ambassidae with 8%; Notopteradae, Heteropneustidae, Claridae, Belontidae, Belonidae, Nandidae occupied only 4%. families. Aspidoporia morar and Puntius species, Labeo calbasu and Labeo bata were in good quality while Labeo rohita and Catla catla were not found in good amounts. A good number of ornamental fishes were also recorded. But after these surveys, it was seen that there was a significant decline in their population that also affect other depending organisms along with local fishermen directly or indirectly. So, the need of the hour is conservation which involves restoration of habitat, cleaning of rivers, sewage treated water, mass awareness program to people for water conservation, sustainable use of river water and its resources and these will help the fishermen in livelihood and earning along with the nutritional need of the society.

Abstract:

This study was carried out to analyze the variation in water quality and to investigate the current status of the fish fauna of the Sip river. Water samples and fish specimens were collected on monthly basis from six stations in the months of August 2017- July 2018. All the water quality attributes were found in the acceptable range that supports fish species, except stations IV and V, where pollution load was gradually increases. Seasonal changes in the physico-chemical parameters such as water temperature, pH, DO, free CO2 and total alkalinity revealed the effect on fish species diversity as well as health status of the river. The checklist of fish species recovered during the study was a total of 19 fish species belonging to 9 families, 13 genera and 4 orders. The family Cyprinidae dominant with 11 species, followed by Ambassidae 2 species, while as Bagridae, Channidae, Gobidae, Heteropneustidae, Nandidae and Siluridae each recorded 1 species, respectively. A total of 341 individuals of different fish species were caught from the different stations by using various fishing gears like cast net, gill net, hook and rod methods. Among all the stations studied, the maximum values of abundance 112 and 105 individuals was recorded from V and II stations, followed by I and VI stations having 57 and 51 individuals, while as minimum abundance 7 and 9 individuals was recorded from III and IV stations, respectively. Maximum values of Shannon-Weiner index (2.454) and Simpson’s index (0.906) were recorded from station-V (Pandagaon), while as minimum values of these indices (0.529 and 0.345) were recorded from stations-IV (Syampura). However, maximum values of Margalef’s index (2.793) and Pielou’s index (0.9898) were found from station-II (Ambhakadim) and station-III (Jiryna). The results of the study showed that the Sip river harbors rich ichthyofaunal diversity, but due to some anthropogenic pressure and illegal fishing practices adversely affected the fish diversity. The present study provide base line data initiative to update the current status of fish diversity and water quality parameters and will be useful to enhance the management and conservation strategies, for the fish species of Sip river. Therefore, important steps should be taken into consideration to increase the long-term sustainability of water health and fish activities in the river system

Abstract:

The present study illustrates species diversity, landing quality and catch composition of fish in 10 fish landing centers of 5 haor upazilas of Kishoreganj haor for 12 months from January 2018 to December 2018. A total of 15 different types of fishing gears were detected to harvest fish in different stations throughout a year. Most of the fishing (46.88%) was conducted by small groups of 2 – 5 fishers, while 24.87% of the fishing was conducted by 6 – 10 fishers. The average depth of water in haor associated rivers and inundated lands during monsoon period varied from 4.87±0.99 to 15.2±6.71 and 2.6±0.55 to 6.2±2.68 feet respectively. Fifty different types of fish species were landed in the selected 10 landing centers, where both cultured fish and captured fish were present. Fishes under the Cyprinidae family included 9 species, viz. Labeo rohita. Gebelion catla, Cirrhinus cirrhosus, Labeo calbasu, Hypophthalmichthys nobilis, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, Cyprinus carpio, Ctenopharyngodon idella, Labeo gonius covered a maximum of 12450.61±468.32 MT. The second largest landed fish under the family Schilbeidae included 4 species Silonia silondia, Mystus armatus, Mystus cavasius Pseudeutropius atherinoides. Other fish species landed were identified as: 4 species under the family Mastacembelidae, 2 species under Siluridae, 3 species under Clupidae, 1 species under Ambassidae, 2 species under Palaemonidae, 3 species under Channidae, 1 species under Gobidae, 2 species under Bagridae and 1 species from each of the family Heteropneustidae, Pangasiidae, Clariidae, Ailiidae, Botiidae, Nandidae, Cichlidae, Anabantidae, Osphronemidae, Ambassidae, Notopteridae, Notopteridae,Belonidae and Gobiidae. Highest number 14 species landed were under catfish category, followed by 9 species of major carp. The captured total fish landed in 10 landing centers in 12 month period accounted 12,574±1029.64 MT, but the cumulative total landed fish, including pond fish, was 15,795±1666061.93 MT, as calculated by 45 Aratdars of 10 landing centers. About 88.35% fishermen sold the captured fish at local arat, but the rest (11.65%) were sold to large traders (paiker), retailers and consumers. A 56.6% of the fishermen cleaned the captured fish by river water, while 43.4% fishermen did not use water for washing fish before selling. After harvest, 45.62% fishers used clean utensils for carrying fish to arat and 54.38% used uncleaned utensils. Average harvest per fishermen per day was 23.9 kg, of which 22.26 kg was sold in the market and 1.64 kg was used for own family consumption. Out of total fish landed, a 45.2% was transported by fish hold of the country boat, 21.9% by bamboo basket and 14.8% by plastic crate. Relatively small quantity of fish was transported by insulated ice box (4.7%), aluminum container (2.7%) and gunny bag (3.2%). A 32.6% fisherman used ice and 67.4 % fishermen did not use ice after harvesting of fish. During fishing season, fish and ice ratio used by the transporters was 2.62:1. The highest number of auctioneers were found in Chamra Ghat of Karimganj, while lowest were in Nikli, with an area of 55±1.44 and 25±8.42 decimal area per auctioneers being used for fish business.

Heteropneustes fuscus, a new catfish species, is described from Kerala, India; it is a close congener of Heteropneustes fossilis (Bloch, 1794) described from Tranquebar in Tamil Nadu. Heteropneustes fuscus has been misidentified as H. fossilis until now, but it differs from Bloch's species in color and many other rigid taxonomic variables. The new species can be distinguished from its relative species in the following combination of characters: deep black body and fins, 4-5 branched dorsal-fin soft rays, 72-75 anal fin rays, 58-60 total vertebrae, 26-32 total gill rakers; deeper and wider body; deeper caudal peduncle; greater pre occipital and post occipital distances and longer anal fin. The new fish is edible and found in freshwater rivers, streams, ponds and paddy fields in Kerala. It is also cultivated in some artificial impoundments. Heteropneustes fuscus is compared with its congeners, scientifically named and taxonomically described.

Abstract:

Indian catfish (Heteropneustes fossilis, Heteropneustidae) is a highly nutritious fish with a comparatively slow growth rate compared to other popular Indian fishes. Triploids are expected to show higher growth potential due to sterility and reduced gonadal development. In an attempt to improve growth potential in this catfish, activated eggs were subjected to cold shock at 4 °C for different trial times (10, 20, 30 and 40 minutes) starting at 2 minutes post-fertilization. The optimum duration for cold shock was found to be 30 minutes. Triploids (3n=84) were distinguished from diploids (2n=56) by micromeasurements of erythrocytes and chromosome counts.

Abstract:

Abstract Background Agricultural pesticides have toxic effects in the aquatic ecosystem, and their persistence poses a hazard to aquatic life, as seen by fish poisoning, both acute and chronic. Triazophos, a broad-spectrum organophosphate insecticide, is used to control agricultural crops from insect pests. For a period of 10 days, Heteropneustes fossilis, a fish of great economic and therapeutic value, was exposed to various levels of triazophos toxicity (5, 10 and 15 ppm), after which they were sacrificed. For recovery tests, the treated fish were switched to clean tap water after 10 days of exposure to the toxicant, examined for another 10 days, and then sacrificed. The histological changes in the tissues of the sacrificed fishes' gill, liver, intestine, kidney, brain, and muscle (treatment and recovery) were investigated. Results The histology investigations revealed that the toxicant was hazardous, with histopathological changes increasing as the concentration of the toxicant increased. The gills had the most damage, with fusion of secondary lamella and epithelial hyperplasia; liver had vacuolization, pyknotic nuclei, and focal necrosis; intestine had degenerated, necrotic villi, degeneration of epithelial cells, and atropy; kidney had narrowing of the tubular lumen, pyknotic nuclei, hypertrophy, degeneration; swelling, haemorrhage, larger neuronal cells, and karyolysis were observed in the brain, whereas infiltration of leucocytes, loss of striated muscles, and an increase in intra fibril area were observed in the muscle. When compared to the treated fishes, the 10-day recovery research demonstrated tissue damage and a slower recovery pattern. Conclusions Triazophos caused histological changes in the gill, liver, intestine, kidney, brain and muscle of the test fish Heteropneustes fossilis. With reference to recovery response, a slow recovery was observed. Furthermore, this is the first investigation into the effects of triazophos on the recovery response in Heteropneustes fossilis.

Abstract:

The accumulation and depuration of mercury in exposed Heteropneustes fossilis to two sublethal levels of the element has been studied as a function of time. Exposure produced a time- and dose-dependent increase in the concentrations of mercury in all tested tissues. Animals exposed to both concentrations accumulated significant amounts of mercury, levels in the tissues decreasing in the following order: liver > gill > muscle > intestine. On transfer of the fish to uncontaminated water after 9 days of exposure, the mercury concentrations in tissues gradually declined. All tissues of catfish exposed to O .01 or O .03 ppm mercury recorded complete depuration of accumulated mercury over 37-123 days; individuals exposed to 0.03 ppm mercury took twice the time for excretion of the element as those exposed to 0.01 ppm.

Abstract:

Alien fish species have negative effects on the abundance, diversity and richness of native fish species in southern Iraq. The numbers of alien fish species are constantly increasing due to the entry of invasive species. This has resulted in shifts in the historical composition of fish community structure and scarcity of some native species which represent the keystone in the building of fish populations. Fish samples were monthly collected from three sites in southern Iraq (Al-Chibyaish marsh, the lower parts of Euphrates River, and the northern part of Shatt Al-Arab River) from April 2017 to June 2018. A total of 14,853 individuals of fish were sampled, which represented 26 species, 24 genera and 13 families of bony fishes. Ten alien fish species were recorded, affiliated to nine genera and five families, namely Cichlidae, Cyprinidae, Heteropneustidae, Poeciliidae and Xenocyprididae. Three alien fish species dominated the abundance in the three sites; the Prussian carp Carassuis gibelio comprised 12.58%, 26.19%, and 13.84%, the Blue tilapia Oreochromis aureus formed 16.78%, 13.66%, and 18.79%, , and the Redbelly tilapia Coptodon zillii comprised 7.37%, 7.71%, and 14.66% of the total number of species in three study sites respectively. ( â€¦. ) These alien fish species created serious shifting in fish composition, diversity, richness, and abundance of native fish populations in comparison to the results of the historical survey in southern Iraq.
