environment tables REPLY

Message 23434 from Mark Miller   10/30/2009

  Will FishBase generate tables that include species-specific habitat-related information? I would like to generate tables of species that include information from the Environment section of species pages:

1. Scientific name

2. Freshwater, brackish water (or estuarine), marine, and possibly salinity range

3. Potamodromous, oceanodromous, catadromous, anadromous, amphidromous or non-migratory

4. Possibly water temperature range if known

If FishBase cannot provide such information in a table, might I be able to obtain that information electronically elsewhere?

Thank you for any advice.

Please go to the search page of FishBase, Information by Ecosystem, and select Antarctic for South pole, and Arctic Ocean for North Pole.

By the way, note that the University of Aristotle in Thessaloniki is member of the FishBase Consortium.

Look in Information by Topic / Collaborators, and search for Stergiou, Kostas for contact.

I would really appreciate it if you could answer the questions bellow, since I assume you posses a lot of knowledge in that area.

1) Are there are any fish that their fins are not being used for swimming at all? (if there are any, could you please tell me their names?)

2) Does every fish have to have at least one fin, or are there some that got no fins at all? (if there are any, could you please tell me their names too?) Thank you very much.

Lamprey observation, identification help please REPLY

Message 23237 from Observer   09/23/2009

  Hi,

I came across this lamprey 2 days ago and would like to add an observation report about it, but I'm really not sure of the specie; it's obviously parasitic, and so according to what I read could be a Sea Lamprey, but it looks very different from the photos I could see (maybe a juvenile?). It was in the Mille-Iles river in Terrebonne, Quebec, Canada.

Pictures: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y181/lafille/2009_09211149.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y181/lafille/2009_09211148.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y181/lafille/2009_09211144.jpg

unknown fish REPLY

Message 23081 from sharon   09/13/2009

  In 1978 to 1983 when doing exploratory rivers as a young river guide in Costa Rica, I came across an unusual fish in the mountains on the Alantic Side. I consider myself a keen observer of nature and a very good birder (my only fish studies was in a Marine biology course), but I know little of fish and have always wondered about this fish. I think I have determined it was some sort of Gobi (Cling fish) but not sure. One Febuary, I came across a small dead fish in the Rio Chirripo Alantico, at between 3000-4000ft elevation, it is a fast moving river with lots of large rapids. The fish was about 5 inches long, mostly tan, but had some bright blue markings, very smooth skinned and had a large mouth (which at the time I recognized as gobi like), but most unusual was the suction cup on the ventral side where the pectoral fins met. The next year at about the same time (maybe a mth earlier) I was exploring the river to the north, called the Rio Pacure. I was at a somewhat lower elevation, but still a clear fast moving rocky river with large rapids, we were camped below a large cataract and I noticed large schools of minnow sized fish (1-2 inches) moving determinedly upstream. There were millions of these small brown fish and they appeared to be a smaller version of the dead fish I had found the year before, except no blue color. There were two nonstop line(both morning and through the night) of the smallest fish very near the shore in water about 4-12 inches deep and another line of the larger fish in water about 2 feet deep, these lines of fish where on both sides of the river. Once they got to the large volcanic boulders that formed the rapid they would swim(swarm) up in mass over boulders near shore that had intermittent and varying flows over them, the distance the fish had to go up in this rapid was atleast 20 feet and the boulders were jumbled with vertical faces, that the fish were climbing. Many of the individual boulders they clung to had approximately 5 foot vertical faces. When the surge of water over a boulder backed off they would cling to the rock face and each other with their suction cups in mass groups entirely covering the rock in places, many losing grip and falling back into the torrent. Then they would hold still and wait. When another surge of of water came over the rocks the fish would in mass swim like mad up the face and the rocks would appear to be wiggling. The optimum surge appeared to be 1-3 inches of water. I spent hours that evening and the next morning observing them and scooping up handfuls of these little fish that were filling the small pockets of water beneath these boulders and catch the ones falling back in my cupped hands and move them above their obstacle. The tiny pools of water just below the most diffucult obstacles were brimming with these little guys, more fish than water in some cases as they all jostled and squirmed to get in position to make the leap up the boulder while awaitng the next water surge. Fascinating moment in my life and I have always wondered if anyone else had ever seen this? i look forward to hearing from the experts.

I'm not sure I understand your question? The fish in the picture is, as you say, an electric "eel" (Electrophorus electricus) (actually a species of knifefish). If you saw anything like it while diving in Ireland, I would guess it was a conger (Conger conger).


zebra fish REPLY

  Reply 23281 tuttay 28-Sep-2009

A zebra fish releases eggs from its belly in batches. So I don't think it will accumulate eggs in its belly that can result in death. Also, mature zebra fish species always differ in body color. Adults have five bluish-black stripes alternating with silver for females, and yellow for males, according to Ref. 58948 in FishBase.
