Proportions of American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) nests sighted
during aerial survey in Florida were estimated based upon multiple surveys by different
observers. We compared sighting proportions across habitats, nesting seasons, and observer
experience levels. The mean sighting proportion across all habitats and years was
0.736 (SE=0.024). Survey counts corrected by the mean sighting proportion reliably
predicted total nest counts (R2=0.933). Sighting proportions did not differ by habitat
type (P=0.668) or year P=0.328). Experienced observers detected a greater proportion
of nests (P

Esta serie tiene como finalidad dar a conocer las especies presentes en los diferentes estados provinciales. Tomando como base los trabajos de López et al., (2003); Reis et al., (2003); Liotta (2006) y Ferraris (2007) actualizamos el elenco ictiofaunístico de cada territorio provincial. No se realizan, con excepción del nombre vulgar y localidad tipo, comentarios y/o observaciones de las especies señaladas ya que estos se encuentran en la bibliografía adjunta. Se incluyen dos tablas que contienen información sobre especies introducidas y de aquellas de presencia dudosa o que requieran confirmación en el territorio provincial. Para éstas últimas se cita el trabajo que las menciona por vez primera. Consideramos que este modesto aporte contribuirá a precisar el conocimiento ictiofaunístico regional ya que además de la lista de especies, presentamos el marco biogeográfico e hídrico correspondiente. Por otra parte entendemos que la participación de autores involucrados en la región considerada, le da un verdadero sentido federal a esta contribución, además de reforzar vínculos en los protagonistas de nuestra especialidad. En este nuevo número presentamos la provincia de La Rioja que se encuentra enclavada en el centro-oeste de nuestro territorio, limitada por Catamarca, Córdoba, San Luis y San Juan. La familia Trichomycteridae es uno de los grupos más representativos del sistema hidrográfico de La Rioja adaptados a vivir en elevada altura y arroyos que ocasionalmente permanecen alimentados por el deshielo (López, et al., 2002). Esta familia es un ejemplo de gran adaptabilidad siendo capaz de vivir en ambientes de llanura como los de la Provincia de los Grandes Ríos (López et al., 2008) así como también en arroyos cordilleranos a más de 4000 m de elevación. A las 6 especies citadas por Liotta (2006: pág. 668) para la provincia de La Rioja debemos agregar 10, de las cuales 3 son endémicas y 4 son introducidas (Tabla I).

FiSAT program was used to estimate population parameters of Upenaeus sulphureus from length frequency data. Loc and K were found to be 22.7 em and 0.98 year1 respectively. The Wetherall plot provided an estimate of L= and Z/K were 21.585 em and 4.759 respectively. The annual rate of natural and fishing mortality were estimated as 1.91 and 3.86 respectively. The exploitation rate was 0.668. The selection pattern Lc was 10.824 em. Recruitment pattern suggest of two uneven seasonal pulses in March-April and August-October. Peaks appeared in August-October. Maximum yield could be achieved simultaneously increasing length at first capture to 10.0 em. The length weight relationship was found to be W =0.03065 Lz.8328. Highest yield and price could be achieved by decreasing the fishing mortality to 0.9 coefficient rate.

The artisanal fish preservation methods in Uganda are characterized by extreme operating conditions. Consequently, vital nutritional components diminish in value and quantity which renders fish consumer nutritionally insecure. To establish the magnitude of nutritional loss, duplicate samples of Mukene Rastrineobola argentea were collected from Kiyindi landing site on L. Victoria and Moone landing site on L. Kyoga. Each set of duplicate samples was divided into five portions and kept on ice. For each preservation method a portion was processed into respective products at Food Bioscience and Agri-Business Laboratories aside from the control (fresh) sample. Both preserved and control samples were analysed for nutrient loss at Department of Chemistry, Makerere University using AOAC methods. The composition of fatty acids was determined by methanolysis gas chromatography and Mass spectrophotometry of the resultant methyl esters. The results indicate that nutrients of all preserved samples did not vary significantly from the control except for some fatty acids. The Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) in fresh samples declined from 6.72% to 1.08% in deep-fried samples constituting 83.93% nutrient loss. The sum ratio w3:w6 as well as EPA: DHA (Docosahexaenoic) ratio in fried samples also varied significantly (p<0.5) lower than 0.668 and 0.20 for the average of either preservation methods and experts recommended ratio respectively. Further research has been recommended to ascertain the causative factor, since Mukene frying is being promoted in the Great lakes region as alternative method to sun-drying. In conclusion, regular consumers of fried Mukene do not benefit much from the nutritional and health attributes of Omega 3 and 6.
