Any fish experts on here?
|
|
I'm trying to find a brief description - a page or so - of the life cycle and migratory patterns of the 'Climbing Perch' (Anabas testudineus), known in Bengali as the Koi fish (not to be confused with the decorative carp much favoured by the Japanese, which is also known as Koi).
Tried all the usual online places - Wiki, etc - but can find nothing of note.
Can anyone direct me to an appropriate resource for this information? Thanks in advance, particularly for all daft comments.

Catadromous is when fish migrate downstream to the sea to spawn - if that's what you're thinking of. Salmon and sturgeon (as just two examples) are anadromous, migrating upstream to spawn from the sea.

Ah, plankton, the very man!
What's it called when some fish swim in the opposite direction of most other fish when migrating?

Yes, got all that. I've actually seen them in the Sundarbans, a huge mangrove area in the Ganges delta. And they can actually climb short heights up trees. They use their fins to 'walk' in an ungainly way.

Reported to undertake lateral migration from the Mekong mainstream, or other permanent water bodies, to flooded areas during the flood season and return to the permanent water bodies at the onset of the dry season (Ref. 37770). During the dry season, it stays in pools associated with submerged woods and shrubs (Ref. 37770). Possesses an accessory air-breathing organ (Ref. 2847). Able to survive for several days or weeks out of water if the air breathing organs can be kept moist (Ref. 1479); uses its highly mobile suboperculum and strong fins spines to pull itself over land to move between bodies of water (Ref. 76895).

Thanks, Bill - and glad to be of help!
That doesn't really deal with the fish's life cycle or the way it migrates. I heard that it swims in the opposite direction to other fish when migrating, and would like to know if that's true.
