Background: The development of local Bali cattle in ex-situ areas allow for the formation of new qualitative phenotypic characteristics. The aim of this study is to characterize Bali cattle that have been created in Jambi Province’s ex-situ environment in several of rearing areas. Methods: A research sample of 478 Bali cattle from Muaro Jambi (MJB) district, Sarolangun (SLG) district, Tanjung Jabung Timur (TJT) District, Jambi City (KJB) and PTPN VI were surveyed. The qualitative phenotype characteristic observed were pattern of head color, dominant head color, inner-ear color, forehead color, side-lip color, horn shape, body-color pattern, dominant body color, back-line color, under-belly color, sock color, rump color and tail color. The frequency and percentage of each qualitative characteristic were calculated using the PROC FREQ function of SAS software version 9.0, resulting in a cross-tabulation of the qualitative characteristics observed in Bali cattle at various locations. Then, PROC CORESP performs multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) between the qualitative characteristics of the variables. The resulting plot depicts the graphical relationship between variables. Result: Research results based on sex showed that only white lower lip and black inner ear were characteristic of the head found to be common, while black backline, light-brown underbelly, white rump and black tail hair were common characteristics for the body. Head phenotype based on district showed that white lower lip and white-black inner ear could be found in male Bali cattle while white lower lip and abnormal horn characteristic could be found in females. Body characteristic analysis showed three-color pattern to be common in male Bali cattle while black backline, white feet and white rump were common characteristics found in females. These characteristics can therefore be seen as differentiating characteristics between sex and district of origin of Bali cattle.

The Lepidocyrtus lanuginosus group is formed by the species L. lanuginosus and L. cyaneus, which can be differentiated by the body color pattern. In the present paper several populations of these two species from the Northeastern Iberian Peninsula have been studied. This study has allowed the detection of chaetotaxic and morphological differences distinguishing the two mentioned species. Also the description of the new species L. bicoloris has been made (also characterized by the body color pattern), as well as a redefinition of the European Lepidocyrtus lanuginosus group.

Apogonichthyoides is resurrected from Apogon (Ostorhinchus) as a valid genus with 19 species. Members of this genus are mostly tannish brown to brownish-black in body color. The head and body usually have brownish to blackish spots (sometimes stripe-like), a darkish cheek line and usually two body bars. An ocellus may be present below the lateral line on the body or absent. One or more caudal-peduncular bars and/or a basicaudal spot are often present. Insertion patterns of supraneurals and pterygiophores are given for 11 species. Apogonichthyoides umbratilis, a new species, has 14 pectoral rays and five bars (three faint) on the body and caudal peduncle. Color pattern of the new species suggest relationships with Apogonichthyoides gardineri, A. timorensis and A. opercularis. Descriptions and illustrations of the latter two species are provided for comparison. Apogonichthyoides gardineri, a rare, deep-water species is characterized by 14 pectoral rays, two bars on the body and one wide bar near the base of the caudal peduncle. Specimens of Apogonichthyoides timorensis usually have 15–16 pectoral rays and two or three bars on the body and caudal peduncle. Specimens of Apogonichthyoides opercularis have nine soft anal rays and 10 soft dorsal rays. A key to eight species included in the timorensis species group is provided. A lectotype and paralectotypes are designated for the syntype series of Apogon opercularis. New name combinations follow: Apogonichthyoides atripes, A. brevicaudatus, A. cantoris, A. chrysurus, A. euspilotus, A. gardineri, A. heptastygma, A. niger, A. opercularis, A. pharaonis, A. pseudotaeniatus, A. regani, A. sialis and A. timorensis. Previous usage includes: Apogonichthyoides enigmaticus, A. nigripinnis, A. taeniatus and A. uninotatus

The purpose of this study was to determine the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of female Bali cattle in Atinggola District, North Gorontalo Regency, Gorontalo Province. This study used a field experiment method in the form of direct observation and measurement of female Bali cattle based on the total population and livestock density in each village in Atinggola District. A total of 122 female Bali cattle aged 2-4 years were used as samples for observation and measurement. Bali cattle aged 2 3 years have a white pattern on the butt (butt mirror) with clear boundaries of 74.64% and 25.33% without clear boundaries. The white pattern on the feet (socks) is clearly visible with the skin color on the legs 73.33% and 26.67% there is no dividing line between the body color and the white pattern on the legs (socks). Bali cattle aged 3 4 years have a white pattern on the butt (butt mirror) which is clearly demarcated by 63.83% and 36.17% without clear boundaries. The white pattern on the feet (socks) is well defined with body hair color 68.09% and 31.91% there is no clear boundary between body color and pattern color. Female Bali cattle aged 2 3 aged 5.81-25.15, the average body length, chest circumference, and height were 93.91±9.29, 148.78±20.40 and 106, respectively, 10±6.16. Bali cattle aged 34 have a diversity of body size of 5.29-35.17%. The average values of chest circumference, body length, and height were 98.73±10.31, 144.22±14.62, 144.22±14.62, respectively. Female Bali cattle from Atinggola District, North Gorontalo Regency, Gorontalo have qualitative characteristics that do not deviate from native Indonesian Bali cattle. Body size diversity of female Bali cattle aged 2 3 was 5.81-25.15, while Bali cattle aged 3 4 had body size diversity of 5.29-35.17%

Otoconia are microscopic geometric structures that cover the sensory epithelia of the utricle and saccule (gravitational receptors) of mammals, and the lagena macula of birds. The importance of otoconia for maintanance of the body balance is evidenced by the abnormal behavior of species with genetic defects of otolith. Although a few reports have dealt with otoconia formation, some basic questions remain unanswered. The chick embryo is desirable for studying otoconial formation because its inner ear structures are easily accessible, and its gestational period is short (21 days of incubation).The results described here are part of an intensive study intended to examine the morphogenesis of the otoconia in the chick embryo (Gallus- domesticus) inner ear. We used chick embryos from the 4th day of incubation until hatching, and examined the specimens with light (LM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The embryos were decapitated, and fixed by immersion with 3% cold glutaraldehyde. The ears and their parts were dissected out under the microscope; no decalcification was used. For LM, the ears were embedded in JB-4 plastic, cut serially at 5 micra and stained with 0.2% toluidine blue and 0.1% basic fuchsin in 25% alcohol.

ABSTRACT A new species of Ituglanis associated to the grasslands of the Pampa biome is described from the rio Uruguai basin, southern Brazil. The new species is distinguished from its congeners by the low number of ribs and by a unique color pattern composed of an outer layer with scattered round black blotches equivalent in size to the eye circumference over a reddish brown background on the lateral surface of the body. We provide the genetic sequences of the mitochondrial gene Cytochrome c Oxydase subunit I (COI) for three of the paratypes and discuss aspects about the recent discovery of the new species.

A new species of Leporinus Agassiz is described from the rio Curuá, a tributary of the rio Iriri, rio Xingu basin, Serra do Cachimbo, Pará State, Brazil. The new species is diagnosed by the color pattern, which consists of eight to ten midlateral round dark blotches plus 20 to 40 smaller ones scattered over the body, dental formula 3/4, subinferior to inferior mouth, 37 to 38 lateral line scales, 4/3-4 transversal series of scales, and 12 circumpeduncular scale series. The new species most closely resembles L. octomaculatus and L. reticulatus from the upper Tapajós basin, and L. marcgravii and L. microphthalmus from the rio São Francisco and the rio Paranaíba, respectively. Based on recently collected specimens, L. reticulatus is re-diagnosed as having an allometric elongation of the snout.
