I DONT WANT TO USE IT JUST BECAUSE I HAVE IT FOR THE KOI

  Reply 26962 Joann Glorioso 09-Mar-2010

The scale of the refractometer should give you on the left side the Specific Gravity (SG) and on the right side, the concentration (per thousand, % or PSU).

SG is temperature-related, concentration is not. If the refractometer doesnt integrate any automatic temperature compensation, reading should usually be done at 20°C (68°F).

Just focus on salinity, not on SG, KH nor pH. You can use that calculator: http://www2.sese.uwa.edu.au/~hollings/pilot/denscalc.html

Dear Dr. Aggelakis,

I doubt if we have all the information you require, however, do check out FishBase for some of them.

1)Siganus rivulatus http://fishbase.sinica.edu.tw/Summary/speciesSummary.php?ID=4545&genusname=Siganus&speciesname=rivulatus&lang=English

2)Parexocoetus mento http://fishbase.sinica.edu.tw/Summary/speciesSummary.php?ID=4904&genusname=Parexocoetus&speciesname=mento&lang=English

3)Siganus luridus http://fishbase.sinica.edu.tw/Summary/speciesSummary.php?ID=4613&genusname=Siganus&speciesname=luridus&lang=English

4)Lagocephalus sceleratus http://fishbase.sinica.edu.tw/Summary/speciesSummary.php?ID=4761&genusname=Lagocephalus&speciesname=sceleratus&lang=English

5)Leiognathus klunzingeri http://fishbase.sinica.edu.tw/Summary/speciesSummary.php?ID=27024&genusname=Equulites&speciesname=klunzingeri&lang=English

and 6) Stephanolepis diaspros http://fishbase.sinica.edu.tw/Summary/speciesSummary.php?ID=14343&genusname=Stephanolepis&speciesname=diaspros&lang=English

1) systematic classification (found on top of the species page)

2) Morphology characteristically (click Morphology under the More information portion)

3) Elements of anatomy (same as number 2)

4) Biological circle (stages of growth) (this we have in different places, etc. Reproduction, Maturity, Spawning, Eggs, Egg development, Larvae, etc.) Your best bet would be to check out thre references we used for the particular species which is also given.

5) Reproduction (click Reproduction under the More information portion)

6) Geographic spread (Provided (Labelled Distribution)in the Species page with map and list of countries, ecosystems, etc. where they have been reported).

7) Fishery (Click FAO production under internet sources – we link to FAO)

Hope you found these useful. Good luck!

I think your best bet would to contact Maurice Kottelat (e-mail found here: http://www.fishbase.com/Collaborators/CollaboratorSummary.php?ID=161). For what it's worth I think Louis' puffer ID looks good, and to me no 2 looks quite a bit like Oxygaster anomalura, no 3 and 4 looks like Puntius sp. and no 5 looks like a Labeo such as Labeo erythropterus


  Reply 25114 Louis 22-Jan-2010

I am attaching the photos for Ritta. I believe the Puffer in photo one is Xenopterus naritus. The fish in photos 2, 3 and 4 belong to Cyprinidae (Minnows and Carps); I'm not sure about the 5th. Maybe someone can narrow them down to the species. Oh, and they are freshwater fish from, I presume, Palau.

When you upload photos on to the FishBase forum you must use a unique file name or you just link to a previous posters file. So, assuming your unidentified fish is the puffer I think it might be a Oceanic Puffer, Lagocephalus lagocephalus. http://fishbase.se/summary/SpeciesSummary.php?id=4292
