Abstract Sembakung river is an important inland fishery in terms of fish production in North Kalimantan, Indonesia. This river is connected to the State of Malaysia, where the upstream part of this river is in the state of Malaysia. The present study was conducted to inform the diversity of fish fauna in the Sembakung river. Fish samples were collected from ten sampling stations of the Sembakung river at Tarakan district in North Kalimantan, Indonesia from March to November 2019. A total of 55 species of fish under 20 orders and 35 families were recorded. Cypriniformes were most leading order constituting 32.73% of the total fish population followed by Siluriformes (18.18%), Anabantiformes (10.91%), Gobiiformes (9.09%), Carangaria (5.45%), Eupercaria (3.64%), and 1.82% for others ordo. Fishes in this river are seriously affected by the various kinds of human development interventions and activities, especially in the areas of agriculture, forestry, fisheries, industries, and transport. Estimates from these indices were indications of low fish species composition and richness and unevenness in the population of fish in the Sembakung river. For sustainability of fishery resources, an adequate knowledge of species composition, diversity, and relative abundance of water bodies must be understood and vigorously pursued. Therefore, there is a need for the conservation and sustainable management of the fisheries resources of the Sembakung water body by relevant agencies.

The Diversity of fish species, composition and abundance from Bodna River in Kwali Area Council, Abuja was studied between May 2018 to April 2019.The aim of the study was to determine the management and sustainable use of the fisheries resources of the Area council. About 1331 fish were collected from the artisanal fishermen during the study period and morphometric indices were determined using standard methods. The fish were identified and counted. Sex ratio 1:2:1 (Males to Females) was obtained indicating a male dominated population. Length –weight measurement indicated that the fish exhibited positive allometric growth pattern. The highest percentage abundant species in the site were Oreochromis niloticus with 34.8% Clarias garienpinus with 28.0% and Pellonula leonensis with 17.6% and the least occurring species were Nannocharax shariensis with 11.0% Mormyrus valenciensis with 7.7%. The seasonal variation of fish distribution was observed to be higher in the wet season with 66.2% than the dry season. Nutrient displayed greater impact on fish abundance in the wet season. The Simpson and Shannon Weiner’s diversity index values were (0.976) and (-1.456) in both richness and evenness respectively. The findings of the study could be helpful to the artisanal fishermen and the community for fisheries sustainability.

The fish fauna of urban streams is still poorly known, it difficult to assess the effects of urbanization expansion on fish species composition, for this reason the aim of this study was to provide a checklist of species that compose the ichthyofauna of six urban streams, tributaries to the Vermelho River, upper Paraguay River Basin, Rondonópolis, Mato Grosso State, Brazil. The samples were performed with seine nets on a spatial gradient of 75 m, and with sieves for a period of 15 minutes in each site. A total of 56 species belonging to five orders, Characiformes, Siluriformes, Gymnotiformes, Cyprinodontiformes, and Perciformes, 21 families and 44 genera were sampled. The most common species were Astyanax asuncionensis Géry, 1972, Astyanax abramis (Jenyns, 1842), Odontostilbe pequira (Steindachner, 1882), Odontostilbe paraguayensis Eigenmann & Kennedy, 1903, Characidium zebra Eigenmann, 1909 and Hypostomus sp. This checklist brings additional knowledge on fish that inhabit tributaries to the major rivers of northern Pantanal.

Objectif : L’étude a été menée dans l’Aire Marine Protégée (AMP) de Joal-Fadiouth avec pour principal objectif de déterminer l’état et la configuration de l’ichtyofaune dans les zones protégées en milieu marin. Méthodologie et Résultats : La méthode de collecte de données biologiques de ce travail repose principalement sur la pêche expérimentale (SFA, 2011). Elle repose, pour la plupart, sur une pêche d’échantillonnage du fait des surfaces importantes à étudier. L’étude a pris en compte de quatre périodes importantes du cycle hydro-climatique. L’AMP de Joal-Fadiouth est marquée par la présence d’une ichtyofaune riche et variée. On y note 126 espèces de poisson réparties en 49 familles dont les plus représentatives sont les Carangidae, les Sparidae et les Haemulidae. Certains paramètres comme la structure en taille de la population de poissons laisse apparaître beaucoup de variations entre les saisons hydrologiques. Conclusion et applicabilité des résultats : L’état et la configuration de l’ichtyo faune de l’AMP sont le résultat de la combinaison de trois facteurs notamment la position géographique du site, la diversité de l’habitat et l’absence de pêche destructive. Par conséquent pour l’amélioration de la gestion de l’AMP, ces facteurs devraient être tenus en compte. Mots clés : Aire marine protégée, Pêche expérimentale, Poisson, Espèce, Biomasse, Taille Characterization of the ichtyofaune of the Joal-Fadiouth MPA (Senegal) ABSTRACT Objective: The study was conducted in the Joal-Fadiouth MPA to determine the state and configuration of the fish fauna in protected areas in the marine environment. Methodology et Results: The method of collecting biological data was mainly based on experimental fishing (SFA, 2011). The study took into account four important periods of the hydro-climatic cycle.

The concept of an explosion in freshwater ecosystems as a result of the release of accumulated energy, accompanied by the destruction of the steady climax successions of hydrocenoses is presented. The typification of local explosions as well as methods for assessing their risk during the development of river basins are shown. The change in atmospheric circulation, impaired phases of the hydrological regime of rivers, increasing the average temperature of the planet, including in Polesie to 0,6 ºC, deforestation leads to concentration and release of huge amounts of unmanaged terrestrial energy, which manifests itself in the form of disasters and emergencies. Hydroecological explosion is formed as a result of multifactorial external influence (natural and anthropogenic) on the water body in a certain period of time. Moreover, its level at wastewater discharge depends on the mass of recycled impurities and behaved processing capacity of the reservoir, and the mass of dumped on biocides and the possibility of the water flow to their dilution and to the utilization of non-toxic concentrations. In all these cases the preservation of "centers of life" in the tributaries of the first order – local fish reproduction areas contributed to ecosystem recovery, and the entire ecosystem has evolved from equilibrium to non-equilibrium with further restructuring after the explosion and environmental transition to a new trophic level. It means that hydroecological explosion can be researched as the logical course of development of living matter in abiotic environmental conditions, ending abruptly with the formation of new species composition cenoses and new bio-productivity. The buffer capacity of the water environment is reduced due to re-development and anthropic transformation of geobiocenoses of river basins, which leads to a weakening of life resistance. This applies particularly to the southern industrial regions of Ukraine, located in the arid zone that is even more relevant in the context of increased average temperature due to the greenhouse effect, as well as to Polesie (Western, Central and Chernihiv), had been exposed to large-scale drainage of 60-80th years, which contributed to the degradation of peatlands and fitostroma. Imposing the western trace of emissions from the Chernobyl accident to these areas had created the conditions of prolonged hydroecological explosion in an intense process of aging water bodies, especially lakes, change in species composition of fish fauna and the occurrence of neoplasms at the organismal level. Under these conditions, for the existence of man and the environment the vitaukta should be strengthened, i.e. buffer resistance and capacitance the aquatic environment, bioefficiency on the one hand and balanced using the energy deposited - on the other. This will restore the functioning of ecosystems "channel-floodplain", "riverbed-lake", reducing the energy load on the aquatic environment. Hydroecological explosions of natural origin can not be considered a pathology – it is a jump process of natural selection of species of biota. Another thing, if they are of anthropogenic origin and if the magnitude of such an impact is on the power of geological factors. Hydroecological explosions can be regarded as a manifestation of environmental wars that consciously or unconsciously, human society is waging against themselves and their kind in the river basins, so prevention of entropy increase in the aquatic environment and the prevention of hydroecological explosions is a matter of human survival. While the man - is not the final link in the development of living matter, it can develop without him, as matter is eternal, and the forms of its existence are different.

Abstract The Conde municipality is located in the northern coast of the state of Bahia (NC), northeastern Brazil, and is part of the Atlantic Tropical domain. The anuran fauna of the northern portion of the NC is still poorly known if compared to the southern portion. The Restinga is one of the predominant environments of the coastal plains of the NC and it is characterized essentially by presenting sandy soil covered by herbaceous and shrubby vegetation. The objective of this study was to determine the anuran species composition and diversity for the Restinga of the Conde municipality. Sampling was carried out at night by active search over four periods of five consecutive days each, two over the 'main rainy season' and two in a 'lesser rainy season', using 14 sample units (SUs) and five extra sample plots (EPs). We calculated dominance and species diversity using the Berger-Parker and Shannon-Wiener H' indices, respectively. We used accumulation curves and the Jackknife 1 estimator to estimate anuran species richness, considering only the data obtained from the SUs. We recorded 713 anuran specimens distributed within 33 species, 13 genera and five families (Bufonidae, Craugastoridae, Hylidae, Leptodactylidae and Microhylidae). The Hylidae and Leptodactylidae families had the highest species richness. Considering only the SUs (Jackknife 1 estimator in brackets), we recorded 28 species in the study area (33.9 ± 2.3), 13 in Shrubby Vegetation Zones - SVZ (20.8 ± 2.9) and 25 in Freshwater Wetland Zones - FWZ (28.9 ± 1.9). The abundance and species diversity of the FWZ (n = 638 specimens; H'= 2.4) were higher than those recorded for the SVZ (n = 52 specimens; H' = 1.9). The SVZ and FWZ showed distinct dominant species, wherein Pristimantis paulodutrai was the dominant species in SVZ and Scinax fuscomarginatus in FWZ. The Restinga of the Conde municipality stands out as the one with the highest anuran species richness already recorded considering only SVZ and FWZ. Moreover, its anuran species composition represented 55% of the anuran species known for the NC and included taxa common to three different morphoclimatic domains (Tropical Atlantic, Cerrado and Caatinga).
