About: Botia

An Entity of Type: insect, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Botia (Indian loaches) is a genus of freshwater fish in the loach family (Botiidae). It was a large genus with about 20 species. In 2004 Maurice Kottelat proposed in his paper (along with the description of Botia kubotai, see References below) to divide the genus into four related genera based on fish appearance and locality: * Botia for Indian loaches (shorter body). * Chromobotia for clown loach. * Syncrossus for tiger loaches (elongated body). * Yasuhikotakia for Mekong loaches (shorter body).

  • Botia és un gènere de peixos de la família dels cobítids i de l'ordre dels cipriniformes.Algunes de les seues espècies són populars en aquariofília (com ara, Botia almorhae, Botia dario, Botia histrionica, Botia kubotai, Botia lohachata, Botia rostrata, Botia striata i Botia udomritthiruji). Són principalment carnívors. Botia almorhae, Botia dario, Botia histrionica, Botia kubotai, Botia rostrata, Botia striata i Botia udomritthiruji apareixen a la Llista Vermella de la UICN a causa de les amenaces que els representa la desforestació, la sedimentació, la contaminació de l'aigua, la pesca destructiva mitjançant verins i electrocució, les activitats mineres i el comerç internacional de peixos d'aquari.

  • Botia (Indian loaches) is a genus of freshwater fish in the loach family (Botiidae). It was a large genus with about 20 species. In 2004 Maurice Kottelat proposed in his paper (along with the description of Botia kubotai, see References below) to divide the genus into four related genera based on fish appearance and locality: * Botia for Indian loaches (shorter body). * Chromobotia for clown loach. * Syncrossus for tiger loaches (elongated body). * Yasuhikotakia for Mekong loaches (shorter body). Another genus, Parabotia, was considered a separate genus earlier. It has an elongated body quite similar to Syncrossus, but with its range mostly restricted to China. With all these as separate genera, Botia species are restricted to South Asia (including Burma). The fish in these genera possess a pair of razor-sharp spines under their eye sockets. These spines normally lie flat, but may be extended when the loach feels threatened. This behavior is rarely observed when the fish is swimming, but care must be taken when catching botia in fishnets — the projecting spines may become entangled, causing injury to the fish and/or damage to the net. Care must also be taken when transporting the larger botia, as their subocular spines may puncture the enclosing polyethylene bags that are normally used for this purpose. One special characteristic of this loach group is the ability to produce a loud "clicking" noise, which is commonly heard during feeding time. This noise stems from a special type of pharyngeal teeth that are used to extract snails from their shells. For aquarists, this gives the botia a practical application, as they can be used to fight a snail infestation. Another peculiarity of botia is that they are often seen resting on their side or in other strange positions. While this can be normal, healthy behaviour for botia, it is rarely observed in other types of fish. The unusual habit often causes needless panic for the inexperienced aquarist, who mistakenly assumes their fish is ill. (en)

  • Botia é um gênero de peixes de água doce da família (Cobitidae) com cerca de 20 espécies descritas. Em 2004, Maurice Kottelat propôs num artigo com a descrição original de Botia kubotai a divisão do gênero em quatro, com base na sua aparência e localização: * Botia para as espécies da Índia (corpo mais curto). * Chromobotia para a bótia-palhaço. * para as bótias-tigres (corpo alongado). * Yasuhikotakia para as bótias do rio Mekong (corpo mais curto). Um outro gênero, , considerado separado anteriormente, tem igualmente um corpo alongado como Syncrossus, mas se distribui quase exclusivamente na China. Os peixes desse gênero possuem um par de espinhos por baixo das órbitas; encontram-se normalmente escondidos, mas podem ser estendidos quando o peixe se sente ameaçado. Este comportamento não é frequente mas, devido a essa característica, deve ter-se cuidado ao capturar o peixe com uma rede de pesca, uma vez que os espinhos estendidos podem ficar emalhados na rede, podendo causar dano ao peixe. Outra capacidade especial deste grupo de peixes é produzirem sons de "clique", que é costume ouvir-se quando o peixe está a comer. Este som é produzido por um órgão especial usado pelos peixes para chupar caracois de dentro das suas conchas. Para os aquaristas, esta característica tem uma aplicação prática: as bótias podem ser usadas para controlar a infestação de caracois num aquário. Muitos destes peixes preferem dormir deitados de lado, ou noutras posições estranhas (pt)
