The present study was undertaken in order to untangle some of the problems of classification which have beset this group. The genera have not been studied in toto since the days of Bleeker and Gunther. In this study I have made an attempt to clarify the relationships of the various genera, which in some cases has involved revision of generic limits. Lack of time and material has precluded a thorough analysis of the species within any genus; for the same reason no skeletal examinations were possible. It is hoped, however, that a clarification of generic limits through study of external characters will make it easier in the future for interested workers, with sufficient material at hand, to do further and much-needed work on both the genera and the species.

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.

  • Fish Ecology in Tropical Streams
    Author's personal copy 5 Fish Ecology in Tropical Streams Kirk O. Winemiller, Angelo A. Agostinho, and Érica Pellegrini Caramaschi I. Introduction 107 II. Stream Habitats and Fish Faunas in the Tropics 109 III. Reproductive Strategies and Population Dynamics 124 IV. Feeding Strategies and Food-Web Structure 129 V. Conservation of Fish Biodiversity 136 VI. Management to Alleviate Human Impacts and Restore Degraded Streams 139 VII. Research Needs 139 References 140 This chapter emphasizes the ecological responses of fishes to spatial and temporal variation in tropical stream habitats. At the global scale, the Neotropics has the highest fish fauna richness, with estimates ranging as high as 8000 species. Larger drainage basins tend to be associated with greater local and regional species richness. Within longitudinal stream gradients, the number of species increases with declining elevation. Tropical stream fishes encompass highly diverse repro- ductive strategies ranging from egg scattering to mouth brooding and livebearing, with reproductive seasons ranging from a few days to the entire year. Relationships between life-history strategies and population dynamics in different environmental settings are reviewed briefly. Fishes in tropical streams exhibit diverse feeding behaviors, including specialized niches, such as fin and scale feeding, not normally observed in temperate stream fishes. Many tropical stream fishes have greater diet breadth while exploiting abundant resources during the wet season, and lower diet breadth during the dry season as a consequence of specialized feeding on a subset of resources. Niche complementarity with high overlap in habitat use is usually accompanied by low dietary overlap. Ecological specializations and strong associations between form and function in tropical stream fishes provide clear examples of evolutionary convergence.

  • Fishes of the Deep Demersal Habitat at Ngazidja (Grand Comoro) Island, Western Indian Ocean

Smalec and Jürgen Schauerb (with hook and line or traps) in the daytime habitat of the coela- canth, we were able to identify 65 species (Table 1). For various Underwater observations of the coelacanth, Latimeria chalumnae reasons, the remaining taxa are identified only to genus or Smith, 1939, from a research submersible provided opportunities family level. Our list of the deep demersal fish at Ngazidja is to study the deep demersal fish fauna at the Comoro Islands. The obviously incomplete, as we made no attempt to collect small demersal habitat in depths of 150–400 m at the volcanic island of cryptic species (e.g. Scorpaenidae, Callionymidae, Draconettidae, Ngazidja is low in fish diversity and biomass, compared with the Percophidae, Epigonidae and Plectranthias). In addition, larger, shallow-water coral reef habitat of Ngazidja or the deep demersal elusive species (e.g. congrid and ophichthid eels and several habitats of other localities in the Indo-Pacific region. The resident species of sharks) that are known to occur at depths of 150–400 m deep demersal fish fauna at Ngazidja is dominated by the coela- in the Western Indian Ocean but have not yet been seen or canth, an ancient predator that is specially adapted for this caught at these depths at Ngazidja are not included in our low-energy environment.
