and yet, if the experimental animal is wrongly identified, what are the grounds for such an assumption? Kevan (1973: 1212) This report is a product of the World Bank Environment Department's 'Global Overlays Program' This particular project concerned freshwater biodiversity in the context of the Vietnamese National Hydropower Study The objective of the project was to enable water resource planning, particularly with regard to hydropower, to proceed in full consideration of freshwater biodiversity This was to have been achieved by: * understanding the distribution of Vietnamese fish and other organisms within and beyond the country, * providing recommendations for appropriate design and implementation of hydropower and other water use programs or projects that * * * allow water to be used but not at the expense of the freshwater biodiversity, demonstrating the incremental benefits of freshwater biodiversity, estimating the incremental (mitigation) costs of sustainable management of freshwater biodiversity in areas designated as suitable for different types of hydropower and other infrastructure-orientated developments, and holding a national workshop to discuss, improve and disseminate ideas and findings Unfortunately, problems (mainly the inability to export specimens temporarily for identification) precluded completion of the work Despite this, I have used the photographs taken during the brief field work, together with my knowledge of the fish of the region to write a critical analysis of the fish fauna of northern Vietnam I must stress that this analysis based primarily on photographs has severe limitations, primarily that it is virtually impossible in this way to identify small-sized species with any confidence and that these small species are the most likely to be endemics with limited distributions, and thus of the greatest biodiversity value As a result their number and diversity is probably grossly underestimated in this report Nevertheless, the numerous nomenclatural and taxonomic problems which have been identified on the basis of the photographs alone is an indication of the desperate need for critical analysis of this fauna by trained specialists with transnational experience The purpose of the present check-list is to present an overview of our present knowledge on the diversity, systematics and nomenclature of the freshwater fishes of northern Vietnam It also includes a selected bibliography of the publications of greatest immediate concern when working on this fauna Although two books have already been published on the fishes of northern Vietnam (Chevey & Lemasson, 1937; Mai, 1978) they are outdated and misleading, and it appears that the fish fauna of Vietnam is one of the most poorly known in the World, both quantitatively and qualitatively As a result of the war and politics, Vietnamese ichthyology has evolved with little contact with the outside world and this has had unfortunate consequences Ichthyological work published in Vietnam is very difficult to reconcile with work published outside the country The first task is to adjust the nomenclature used in Vietnam to ensure that it conforms to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature [ICZN hereafter] (International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, 1999) The situation is aggravated by two factors Decisions of a strictly scientific nature can be influenced by non-scientific considerations, and this negatively impacts the efficiency of field Part L-Freshwater Fishes of Northern Vietnam work and research It also interferes with scientific exchanges Exchange of material, data and knowledge is necessary for good management of natural resources, and is beneficial for the country in the long run; if one is able to benefit from the results of research conducted abroad, there is no need to replicate it and this saves time, effort and money The present work had to be done without physical access to the samples I obtained in the field and this obviously has limited the conclusions In many instances, very little additional work is needed to solve complex problems, but this last step has not been possible A significant part of the north Vietnamese fish fauna is shared with southern China Although significantly more advanced, in many aspects the state of our knowledge of the Chinese fish fauna is similar It is therefore not surprising that many species are known under completely different names on either side of the border I have attempted to make these two sets of data compatible The list in this report includes all the fishes which have been recorded in the scientific literature or observed by myself in Vietnam north of (and including) the Ca River basin It also includes species recorded from within a few kilometres upstream or downstream of the Vietnamese border in Laos (Kottelat, 2001) and in Yunnan Province of China (Chu & Chen, 1989, 1990); similar data were not available for Guangxi Province of China Records based on the literature are included but only if they seem reasonably reliable; that is, either there are ways to confirm the identification from the document itself or from voucher specimens, or the author(s) is (are) known to be well experienced Fisheries records have not been taken into consideration since they tend to be unreliable and/or too superficial for serious biodiversity work A very small area of northern Vietnam drains to the Mekong basin near Dien Bien Phu, Lai Chau Province There is apparently no data on the fishes of that area Data on the fishes of adjacent areas in Laos can be found in Kottelat (2001) yr +SE4i;
