Abstract Supportive breeding programmes are becoming increasingly crucial for the conservation of many declining freshwater fishes such as European common nase, Chondrostoma nasus . However, small relict populations genetically highly vulnerable, and supportive can have a detrimental impact on genetic composition cultured offspring (e.g. result inbreeding, drift, adaptation to captivity). This ...

Animal rearing regimes in zoos can be strongly altered according to the adaptation of animals captive environment. These changes modulate animal well-being. In this review, we approach studies ethological action and its impacts on syndrome animals. Zoos offer multiple ways making adaptations more difficult. favoring appearance syndrome. organisms have their own characteristics, which allow us i...

STEWART ISLAND There were problems obtaining suitable baits for the Table Hill cat-control operation this season. The Landcare-ACP baits supplied initially were late, in very poor condition on arrival, and were unsuited to the task. Dupont baits from last season were used for two changes, while awaiting a supply of new Dupont baits. Reliable supply of a suitable bait is pivotal to the whole pro...

Recent establishment of techniques for captive breeding and closure of the life cycle of some seahorse species is expected to help in achieving the twin objectives of reducing pressure on wild stocks as well as providing alternative subsistence livelihoods to fisher-folk currently involved in seahorse fishing. The relatively higher fishing pressure on the three-spotted seahorse, Hippocampus tri...

Abstract This paper discussed domestication strategies of Tinfoil barb from different populations for evaluation potential fish candidate freshwater aquaculture development. Collection and maintenance wild-caught adult was the first step in followed by characterization fish, broodstocks selection maturation, control reproduction, larval rearing. The presented an excellent performance to adapt n...
