“…Moreover, it can live in inflow and turbid water and a low oxygen environment (Pethiyagoda 1991). Lee and Ng (1994) revealed that C. gachua has the ability to survive in temperatures as high as 36.5 C and as low as 13 C. Lee and Ng (1991) reported that their investigation showed the existence of C. gachua at mountain altitudes of 3,600 m above sea level. They also revealed that the polyploid C. stewartii from India is more salt-tolerant than other fish.…”

Summary A new natural autotetraploid and the chromosomal characteristics of the dwarf snakehead fish (Channa gachua) from Kalasin, Nong Khai, Nong Bua Lam Phu and Udon Thani Provinces (four populations) in northeast Thailand were studied. Kidney cell samples were taken from 12 male and 12 female fish. Mitotic chromosome preparations were conducted using a blood cell culture technique as well as taken directly from kidney cells. Conventional and Ag-NOR staining techniques were applied to stain the chromosomes. The results showed that the autotetraploid chromosome number of C. gachua was 4n = 104, and the fundamental number (NF) was 112 in both sexes. The types of chromosomes were 4 large submetacentric, 2 large acrocentric, 16 large telocentric, 2 medium submetacentric, 68 medium telocentric and 12 small telocentric chromosomes. No strange-sized chromosomes related to sex were observed. The region adjacent to the centromere of chromosome pair 3 showed clearly observable secondary constriction (NORs). The karyotype formula for C. gachua is as follows:4n (

“…Carnivorous fishes generally have shorter intestines than their omnivorous and herbivorous cousins (Qin & Fast 1996). The food items of snakeheads consist mainly of mouse, tadpole, fish, prawn, other crustaceans, terrestrial insects, detritus, smaller ephemeropterans, ipterans, hymenoptera, odonata, lepidoptera and some mosquito larvae (Bolaji et al 2011;Lee & Peter 1994;Ward-Campbell & Beamish 2005). However, the gut contents only indicate what the fish has fed on recently.…”

“…Enshrined in the Constitution of Malaysia are special rights for the Malays who are considered Bumiputera, or "sons of the soil" (Kim, 2003). Racial tension between the Malays and the Chinese-and Indian-Malaysians has been an issue for the multicultural nation ever since this constitution was established in 1957 when Malaysia gained independence from Great Britain (Crouch, 2001;Lee, 2000;Tan, 2001). The results of this racial tension are that as a group, Chinese-Malaysians are very much aware of their ethnicity.…”

Previous research has demonstrated that autonomy support is one particularly effective means of promoting internalization and fostering well-being. The present study sought to determine if this would also be the case with regards to culture by testing the relation of perceived parental autonomy support to the cultural internalization and well-being of multicultural students. In Study 1, 105 multicultural participants living in Canada were more likely to have fully internalized their host and heritage cultures and to have higher self-reported well-being when they reported that their parents were autonomy supportive. In Study 2, 125 Chinese-Malaysians sojourners were also more likely to have fully internalized their heritage culture and indicated higher well-being when they perceived their parents as autonomy supportive. In both studies, heritage cultural internalization was also associated with higher well-being.
