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.

Biological characteristics of rock goby, Gobius paganellus (Actinopterygii: Perciformes: Gobiidae), in the south-eastern Black Sea. Acta Ichthyol. Piscat. 39 (2): 111–118. Background. Gobius paganellus L. is one of the most common gobiid fish in the south-eastern Black Sea. The aim of present study is to provide information on age structure and growth, length at sexual maturity, annual cycle of gonad development, and diet of rock goby in the south-eastern Black Sea. Materials and Methods. One hundred seventy-five specimens of G. paganellus were sampled from two stations in the province of Rize, south-eastern Black Sea. Samplings were performed by free diving using spear gun and hand net at night time. Specimens were dissected and sagittal otoliths, stomachs, livers, and gonads were removed. Otoliths were cleaned, immersed in glycerol, and examined on black background using reflected light at low magnification to determine age. Mean size at sexual maturity (L 50 ) (i.e., size at which 50% of fish are mature) was estimated for males and females by fitting the logistic Gompertz function to the proportion of mature fish per cm size-class. The gonadosomatic index, seminal vesicle somatic index, and hepatosomatic index were calculated on monthly basis.

Email: [email protected] 1 Assistant Professor at the Department of Planning and Urban Design, Faculty of Engineering – Ain Shams University. 1 Elsarayat St. Abbasy, Cairo – Egypt. Email: [email protected] Ecotourism though in comparison to other types of tourism, it is a small but rapidly growing movement.It is in the core of the tourism development strategy in Egypt and there is considerable effort to promote such type of tourism.Fayoum oasis is foreseen to be one of the major destination for ecotourism not only in Egypt but also worldwide. It isone of the most wonderful areasin Egypt, which contains much potential for ecotourism, asit is rich in natural resources and interesting history.It contains three major protected areas;QarounLake,El-RayanValley and Whale Valley protectorates. The last onewas designated as a UNISCO World Heritage Site owing to the important 40 millions year-old whale skeletons found there.Although the uniqueness of Fayoum, it does not occupy a significant position on the touristic map of Egypt. This paper is an attempt to highlight the major potentials in the Fayoum oasis as well as theproblemsand obstacles that preclude its development. It analyzesthe factors that lead to the declining of the tourism industry in the oasis andproposes a vision for developing the oasis to be one of the major destinations of ecotourism in Egypt as well as worldwide.

  • Molecular and Otolith Tools Investigate Population of Origin and Migration of Arctic Cisco Found in the Colville River, Alaska

Zimmerman, Vanessa R. von Biela 1 Contact author: Phone (907) 786-7071; Fax (907) 786-7150; email: [email protected] Alaska Science Center U.S. Geological Survey 4210 University Drive, Anchorage, AK 99508 Prepared under USGS Offshore Research Funds Account US Department of the Interior Bureau of Ocean Energy Management Alaska Region January 2014 Executive Summary The U. S. Minerals Management Service (MMS), now the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), defined specific questions concerning Arctic cisco in the Colville River, Alaska, based on a community workshop held in Nuiqsut and requested that the U.S. Geological Survey implement a study developing and applying scientific tools and techniques to address those questions (see below Problem Statement and Justification). We used genetics, otolith chemical composition, otolith microstructure, stable isotope analyses, and stomach content analyses to assess population structure, movements, growth patterns, environmental influences on growth, and trophic dynamics of Arctic cisco from the Colville River subsistence fishery. We found support for the Mackenzie hypothesis, which suggests that Arctic cisco found in Alaskan rivers originate from the Mackenzie River, Canada. Using 11 microsatellite loci and the ATPase 6 mitochondrial gene, we found no evidence of genetic differentiation among Arctic cisco collected from the Colville River and five putative Mackenzie River spawning populations (Arctic Red, Peel, Mountain, Carcajou and Great Bear rivers; P > 0.19 in all comparisons).

    IUCN World Heritage Outlook: https://worldheritageoutlook.iucn.org/ Wadi Al-Hitan (Whale Valley) - 2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment Wadi Al-Hitan (Whale Valley) 2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment SITE INFORMATION Country: Egypt Inscribed in: 2005 Criteria: (viii) Wadi Al-Hitan, Whale Valley, in the Western Desert of Egypt, contains invaluable fossil remains of the earliest, and now extinct, suborder of whales, Archaeoceti. These fossils represent one of the major stories of evolution: the emergence of the whale as an ocean-going mammal from a previous life as a land-based animal. This is the most important site in the world for the demonstration of this stage of evolution. It portrays vividly the form and life of these whales during their transition. The number, concentration and quality of such fossils here is unique, as is their accessibility and setting in an attractive and protected landscape. The fossils of Al-Hitan show the youngest archaeocetes, in the last stages of losing their hind limbs. Other fossil material in the site makes it possible to reconstruct the surrounding environmental and ecological conditions of the time. © UNESCO SUMMARY 2020 Conservation Outlook Finalised on 01 Dec 2020 GOOD The conservation outlook for Wadi Al-Hitan is good overall. Wadi Al-Hitan comprises exceptionally rich values related to the record of life, and these are generally in a very good state of conservation. An appropriate management framework is in place through the updated 2019 Wadi El-Rayan Protected Area including Wadi Al-Hitan as a separate component within its program of action. The management unit still needs to develop a site-level plan for Wadi Al-Hitan within the main management plan document, including its own site maps.
