Ng, HH & M Kottelat, 2013. Revision of the Asian catfish genus Hemibagrus Bleeker, 1862 (Teleostei: Siluriformes: Bagridae). The Raffles Bulletin of Zoology 61: 205-291.

A story seventeen years in the making (older than the forum itself)...

Nice!

Wow, seventeen years ago. Look forward to sitting down and reading this. Looks like it has lots of geodata in it and some name changes too - I'll get them done ASAP.

Actually, thinking about it, would you mind reviewing here and giving me a quick list of actions to carry out? Looks like move a few species from and add a few species to Hemibagrus?

Cheers,

Jools

Very nice!

This was my Master's dissertation (which I started in 1997). I started losing interest in getting it published along the way. Just glad to finally get rid of the albatross.

I'll see what I can do for the Cat-eLog pics, though this will not be easy. It helps immensely if I knew where the subject came from. Suffice to say, I don't think any of the H. nemurus in the Cat-eLog are the real thing.

I'll send/upload the pics in the revision for the Cat-eLog soon (especially for those species without pictures).

I have a high-resolution pdf (12+ MB) of the paper , if anyone is interested.

Sure, send that PDF my way...

Great thesis, HH. Low-res is fine for me.

A selfish question then: would you agree with Shovelnose's and my guess that this one may be an albino nemurus? http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/view ... it=+mystus

You provided feedback before but not on the ID.

Same here!!!

PDF, yes please!

I would like a copy of the hi-res PDF please. Could you drop it into dropbox?

Meantime, I have, or can get, source data on several pictures. Are there some in particular I can advise on?

Reading the paper, isn't not the least likely species in the H. nemurus group to be the cultivated form?

Done.

Those by Jean-Francois Helias, for a start.

Many thanks.

I've sent him a mail but I am not sure how useful this will be, many of these species come from stocked lakes in southern Thailan (and are caught with things like Arapaima, Phractocephaclus and Pseudoplatystoma. Leave it with me.

Word back is that all pics of Ariidae, Bagridae, Loricariidae, Pangasiidae, Plotosidae and Schilbeidae are fishes taken in Thailand.

Do you need anything more specific for the Hemibagrus?

Cheers,

Jools
PS Thanks for all the cat-elog additions, that's really, really helpful.

I definitely need more specifics, since the fishes in the Cat-eLog could either be H. capitulum (if caught in peninsular Thailand) or H. spilopterus (if caught in central Thailand).
