TheICNAF Research Bulletin was started in 1964 to provide a means of publishing results of scientific research relevant to ICNAF. TheICNAF Research Bulletin was terminated in September 1979 after the issue of Number 14. The first volume of the NAFO Journal of Northwest Atlantic Fishery Science was published in December 1980, after NAFO came into force replacing ICNAF in 1979. The Northwest Atlantic fisheries have a rich history, and a great deal of research has been sponsored and encouraged by NAFO and its predecessor ICNAF. NAFO has been a leader amongst international organizations in the application of science to fishery management and in the regulation of fisheries in areas beyond national jurisdiction. In accordance with its mandate to disseminate information on fisheries research to the scientific community, the Scientific Council of NAFO publishes the Journal of Northwest Atlantic Fishery Science, which contains peer-reviewed primary papers, and NAFO Scientific Council Studies, which contains unrefereed papers of topical interest and importance to the Scientific Council. Lists of these and other NAFO publications are given on the back of this issue. Editorial Policy The Journal provides an international forum for the primary publication of original research papers, with emphasis on environmental, biological, economic and social science aspects of fisheries and their interactions with marine habitats and ecosystems. While the Journal is intended to be regional in scope, papers of general applicability, and method- ological and review papers, irrespective of region, are considered. Space is available for notes and letters to the editor to facilitate scientific discussion of published papers. Both practical and theoretical papers are eligible. All papers are peer-reviewed to determine their suitability for primary publication. Associate Editors arrange for the peer-reviews and ensure that the papers accepted for publication meet the high standards required for the Journal. Manuscripts approved for publication are accepted with the understanding that they are not copyrighted, published or submitted elsewhere except in abstract form. There are no page charges.

Articles are published electronically under a Creative Commons (Canada) 2.5 license, and are freely available at http://journal.nafo.int. NAFO Scientific Council has resolved to produce annual bound print volumes and these represent a compilation of the web based articles published throughout the year. Additionally, the journal supports the use of digital object identifiers (doi) for electronic media and encourages others to support this initiative. As always, this volume of the journal covers a range of topics representing ongoing research in the northwest Atlantic, including fishers behavior, planktonic distribution and various aspects of fisheries ecology. In my final comments as General Editor of the journal, I would like to extend my thanks to all the authors who submitted works during 2015, to the Associate Editors and reviewers who make production of the journal possible, and to Alexis Pacey, publications manager at the NAFO Secretariat for her support and assistance over the past five years.

  • Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean Volume
    ISBN 0-9689167-4-x Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean (Davis Strait, Southern Greenland and Flemish Cap to Cape Hatteras) Volume One Acipenseriformes through Syngnathiformes Michael P. Fahay ii Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean iii Dedication This monograph is dedicated to those highly skilled larval fish illustrators whose talents and efforts have greatly facilitated the study of fish ontogeny. The works of many of those fine illustrators grace these pages. iv Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean v Preface The contents of this monograph are a revision and update of an earlier atlas describing the eggs and larvae of western Atlantic marine fishes occurring between the Scotian Shelf and Cape Hatteras, North Carolina (Fahay, 1983). The three-fold increase in the total num- ber of species covered in the current compilation is the result of both a larger study area and a recent increase in published ontogenetic studies of fishes by many authors and students of the morphology of early stages of marine fishes. It is a tribute to the efforts of those authors that the ontogeny of greater than 70% of species known from the western North Atlantic Ocean is now well described. Michael Fahay 241 Sabino Road West Bath, Maine 04530 U.S.A. vi Acknowledgements I greatly appreciate the help provided by a number of very knowledgeable friends and colleagues dur- ing the preparation of this monograph. Jon Hare undertook a painstakingly critical review of the entire monograph, corrected omissions, inconsistencies, and errors of fact, and made suggestions which markedly improved its organization and presentation.

The study of the Portuguese marine ichthyofauna has a long historical tradition, rooted back in the 18th Century. Here we present an annotated checklist of the marine fishes from Portuguese waters, including the area encompassed by the proposed extension of the Portuguese continental shelf and the Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ). The list is based on historical literature records and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history collections, together with new revisions and occurrences.

In marine habitats, 965 species (plus two introduced) are found, with the Labridae, Serranidae and Gobiidae being the largest families; 56.7 % of these species live in shallow coral reefs, 33.7 % inside the fringing reef, 28.0 % in shallow rocky reefs, 16.8 % on sand bottoms, 14.0 % in deep reefs, 11.9 % on the reef flat, and 11.1 % in estuaries. 63 species are first records for Réunion. Zoogeographically, 65 % of the fish fauna have a widespread Indo-Pacific distribution, while only 2.6 % are Mascarene endemics, and 0.7 % Réunion endemics. The classification of the following species is changed in the present paper: Anguilla labiata (Peters, 1852) [pre- viously A. bengalensis labiata]; Microphis millepunctatus (Kaup, 1856) [previously M. brachyurus millepunctatus]; Epinephelus oceanicus (Lacepède, 1802) [previously E. fasciatus (non Forsskål in Niebuhr, 1775)]; Ostorhinchus fasciatus (White, 1790) [previously Apogon fasciatus]; Mulloidichthys auriflamma (Forsskål in Niebuhr, 1775) [previously Mulloidichthys vanicolensis (non Valenciennes in Cuvier & Valenciennes, 1831)]; Stegastes luteobrun- neus (Smith, 1960) [previously S.

Online- udgivelse, december 2019. Systematik og navngivning Arten blev oprindelig beskrevet som Blennius lampretaeformis Walbaum, 1792. I den oprindelige beskrivelse er artsnavnet stavet henholdsvis lumpretaeformis, lampretiformis og lampretaeformis. Ved senere revisioner er man blevet enige om, at stavemåden lampretaeformis er den korrekte. Siden beskrivelsestidspunktet er arten flyttet til slægten Lumpenus Reinhardt, 1836 og buskhovedfamilien Stichaeidae Gill, 1864. Slægten Lumpenus består af tre arter. Foruden spidshalet langebarn drejer det sig om Fabricius’ langebarn (Lumpenus fabricii), der findes i store dele af det arktiske område samt arten Lumpenus sagitta fra det nordlige Stillehav. Slægten hører til langebarnunderfamilien Lumpeninae, der omfatter 8 slægter med i alt 11 arter (Eschmeyer & Fong 2019) (ses ofte med familiestatus – se Clardy (2014) for en detaljeret gennemgang). Arterne i langebarnunderfamilien kan bl.a. skelnes fra andre medlemmer af buskhovedfamilien på den lange, slanke kropsform og de længere tarme (Matarese et al. 2014). Bestanden af spidshalet langebarn i den vestlige del af Atlanten, blev oprindelig blev beskrevet under navnet Blennius serpentinus Storer, 1855, og den regnes stadig af nogle forfattere som en særskilt underart, Lumpenus lampretaeformis serpentinus (Eschmeyer et al. 2019). Det officielle danske navn er spidshalet langebarn (Carl et.
