The highly diverse deepwater demersal ichthyofauna of the western Coral Sea was first systematically surveyed in two exploratory voyages in 1985 and 1986, and these fish assemblages have not been investigated at the same level since. Only recently have catch data and specimens, obtained from these first voyages almost 3 decades ago, been rigorously investigated and analysed. Some 393 species of...

The fish fauna of freshwater streams in the Tapajos National Forest was surveyed and a list of species is presented. The sampling was conducted from 2012 to 2013 during the dry season. Fish were collected with dip nets and seine nets in 22 streams of 1(st) to 3(rd) order. Sampling resulted in 3035 specimens belonging to 117 species, 27 families and six orders. The most abundant species were Bry...

the tropical asian cyprinid genus puntius is a major part of the ichthyofauna in southeast asia. systematic status of the genus puntius among cyprinidae, the most prominent freshwater fish all over the world, remain to be substantiated. the molecular phylogenetic analyses derived from recombination activating genesequences (rag2) for 35 representative samples of malaysian puntius and their alli...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Here we describe preliminary efforts to integrate DNA barcoding into an ongoing inventory of the Lower Congo River (LCR) ichthyofauna. The 350 km stretch of the LCR from Pool Malebo to Boma includes the world's largest river rapids. The LCR ichthyofauna is hyperdiverse and rich in endemism due to high habitat heterogeneity, numerous dispersal barriers, and its downstream loc...

This study is the first to complete an intensive and comprehensive list of the ichthyofauna of nearly all ecosystems of the Michoacán coast, Mexico. The resulting systematic checklist, supplemented with information from the literature and scientific collections, comprises 440 species belonging to two classes, 31 orders, 104 families, and 264 genera. The families with the highest number of speci...

The fish diversity of the Adamawa lakes is among most undocumented in Northern Cameroon. Faced with this lack knowledge, an inventory ichthyofauna and habitats characterization was conducted nine lakes. Seven (Assom, Gegouba, Massote, Mbalang, Ngaoundaba, Piou Tizong) are located Sanaga Basin two (Bini Dang) Lake Chad Basin. In order to assess composition variation assemblage, eight sampling ca...
