A new cone species, Cylinder sumbawaensis Verbinnen, 2022, was recently described from the Saleh Gulf (Teluk Saleh) of Sumbawa, Nusa Tenggara Islands (Lesser Sunda Islands), Indonesia. The species is morphologically very similar to bengalensis (Okutani, 1968) Bengal and Andaman Sea represents a geographically-isolated relict once widespread Indian Ocean-derived molluscan fauna that extended all...

The leopard cat, Prionailurus bengalensis (Kerr, 1792), is one of the most widespread Asian cats, occurring in continental eastern and southeastern Asia. Since 1929, several studies have focused on the morphology, ecology, and taxonomy of leopard cats. Nevertheless, hitherto there has been no agreement on basic aspects of leopard cat biology, such as the presence or absence of sexual dimorphism...

Tropical freshwater eels (Anguilla bengalensis and Anguilla bicolor) contribute a major share of the world's wild-caught eel production, having become next target owing to declines in availability both japonica anguilla, species that have traditionally contributed aquaculture trade. Although A. bicolor are assessed as Near Threatened on International Union for Conservation Nature Red List, thes...

Four anguillid eel species occur in the western Indian Ocean rivers of Africa: Anguilla bengalensis, bicolor, marmorata and mossambica. These catadromous fishes face multiple stressors, including habitat alteration deterioration, barriers to migration, pollution adverse impacts alien species, but knowledge occurrence, abundance ecology Africa remains poor. This study investigated present histor...

This study examined the occurrence of Anaplasma spp. and hemoplasma infection in leopard cats, Prionailurus bengalensis euptilurus, in Korea. Twenty-nine biological samples were tested by molecular analysis. Two (6.9%) and eight (27.6%) tested specimens were positive for Anaplasma bovis and hemoplasma infection, respectively. Based on our results, Anaplasma/Ehrlichia spp. and hemoplasma are reg...

Endogenous water pollution and excessive nitrogen in ponds have always been prominent problems threatening aquaculture. To solve this problem, a 70-day indoor simulation experiment was conducted. The snail Bellamya purificata stocked at four different densities: 0, 15, 30, 60 individuals/tank, represented as CON (control), LD (low density), MD (medium HD (high respectively, to investigate the e...
