Hi,
FRIDAY, Nov 04, 2011
... Was because all of you?
I've brought a few pictures
Meeting room at the Ramada hotel was empty yet.
Well, not quite - on all the tables were the articles distributed for the meeting packets. Hard-working hands sorted this.
Those who came earlier, was "allowed" to join in. Thanks to all who have helped us. :thumbup:
More and more visitors came ...
... and picked up your conference packets.
Apologies that this is not quite go so perfectly.
The next time we are better. :thumbsup:
When will the event begin at last?
Ingo Seidel, Oliver Frank (President of
IG BSSW), Andreas Tanke started the event.
Sandor Tüllmann done the translation. (People from right to left.)
About 140 guests from 16 countries had arrived.
Our most widely-traveled guests came from New Zealand.
In the first lecture of the day Hans-Georg Evers introduced us to different catfish biotopes.
First, he takes us to Peru.
Hans-Georg told for example believes that he has observed that he Panaque-babies in the upper reaches of rivers,
medium-sized animals in the middle reaches and large met in the main streams. It is thus obvious that the sexually mature Panaque first swim to spawn in the headwaters of rivers.
Anyone who provides a corresponding river bed with you ...
Another frequently asked question is whether
Panaque sp. "L 418" x and Panaque titan are the recently described the same?
The two look very similar. A distance of more than 800 km between the place of catch, however, speaks against it.
We went to the habitats of the Rio Tapajos.
In particular, it should be mentioned that Hans
Peckoltia compta (L 134) encountered in a rather calm waters and not in the flow field.
One of the topics at the Hans fights as a Don Quixote tilting at windmills is the dam of Belo Monte.

The Belo Monte project, the world’s third largest hydroelectric dam, will be one of the biggest disasters of mankind in history"
