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. -
Marine Fishes of the Azores: an Annotated Checklist and Bibliography
MARINE FISHES OF THE AZORES: AN ANNOTATED CHECKLIST AND BIBLIOGRAPHY. RICARDO SERRÃO SANTOS, FILIPE MORA PORTEIRO & JOÃO PEDRO BARREIROS SANTOS, RICARDO SERRÃO, FILIPE MORA PORTEIRO & JOÃO PEDRO BARREIROS 1997. Marine fishes of the Azores: An annotated checklist and bibliography. Arquipélago. Life and Marine Sciences Supplement 1: xxiii + 242pp. Ponta Delgada. ISSN 0873-4704. ISBN 972-9340-92-7. A list of the marine fishes of the Azores is presented. The list is based on a review of the literature combined with an examination of selected specimens available from collections of Azorean fishes deposited in museums, including the collection of fish at the Department of Oceanography and Fisheries of the University of the Azores (Horta). Personal information collected over several years is also incorporated. The geographic area considered is the Economic Exclusive Zone of the Azores. The list is organised in Classes, Orders and Families according to Nelson (1994). The scientific names are, for the most part, those used in Fishes of the North-eastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean (FNAM) (Whitehead et al. 1989), and they are organised in alphabetical order within the families. Clofnam numbers (see Hureau & Monod 1979) are included for reference. Information is given if the species is not cited for the Azores in FNAM. Whenever available, vernacular names are presented, both in Portuguese (Azorean names) and in English. Synonyms, misspellings and misidentifications found in the literature in reference to the occurrence of species in the Azores are also quoted. The 460 species listed, belong to 142 families; 12 species are cited for the first time for the Azores. -

The 36-station, zig-zag survey along the northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR; Iceland to the Azores) covered the full depth range (0 to 43000 m), from the surface to near the bottom, using a combination of gear types to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the pelagic fauna. -
Deep-Sea Life
Deep-Sea Life Issue 9, May 2017 Here we are again – now onto the ninth edition of Deep-Sea Life: an informal publication about current affairs in the world of deep-sea biology – connecting our colleagues around the globe. This issue is dedicated to two well-known and well-loved colleagues, Torben Wolff and Graham Shimmield, who have each contributed so much knowledge to the field of ocean science, have been inspirational leaders and teachers, and were extraordinary characters. We say a sad farewell to them both – they will be affectionately remembered (see Obituary section). Torben inspired me to undertake this publication. As expressed in the first issue of DSL (March 2013), Torben’s Deep-Sea Newsletter, as many of us will remember fondly, started in October 1978 and was tirelessly edited by him for 27 years (comprising 34 issues). The newsletter was intended to open regular communication between the European and, latterly, the international deep-sea community - it did the trick! When I contacted Torben in advance of Deep-Sea Life Issue 1, he was pleased that this type of communication would be re-kindled. The photo of this issue was chosen for its sheer beauty – “Deep-sea octopus in his own garden” and perhaps is a fitting tribute to Torben and Graham. This photo captured in the Bering Sea at a depth of 2486m on 27 June 2016 shows the octopus Moosoctopus profundorum and Crinoid Ptilocrinus pinnatus. It was taken using a camera mounted on ROV, Canon PowerShot G5, f358, ISO-100 (in case you were wondering).

Control of Bioluminescence
CONTROL OF BIOLUMINESCENCE OPERATING THE LIGHT SWITCH IN PHOTOPHORES FROM MARINE ANIMALS AKADEMISK AVHANDLING för filosofie doktorsexamen i zoofysiologi som enligt naturvetenskapliga fakultetens beslut kommer att försvaras offentligt fredagen den 20 februari 2009, kl. 10.00 i föreläsningssalen, Zoologiska institutionen, Medicinaregatan 18, Göteborg av JENNY KRÖNSTRÖM Department of Zoology/Zoophysiology 2009 DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Jenny Krönström (2009) Control of bioluminescence - operating the light switch in photophores from marine animals Department of Zoology/Zoophysiology, University of Gothenburg, Box 463, 405 30 Göteborg Physiologically controlled photocytes, capable of producing bioluminescence, are a common feature in the ocean among animals ranging from cnidarians to fish. The aim of this thesis was to study and compare the nature of this control, in both distantly and closely related species from the groups Teleostei Crustacea, and Cnidaria. This was done using histochemistry and electron microscopy to reveal the internal morphology of the different photophores and to identify the location of nerves and signalling substances inside these organs. Moreover, luminescence responses of isolated photocytes, photophores or live animals, exposed to drugs with effects on adrenergic, noradrenergic, 5- hydroxytryptaminergic and nitric oxide signalling mechanisms, were measured. Nitric oxide donors had modulating, primarily quenching, effects on the luminescence from the fish species Argyropelecus hemigymnus and Porichthys notatus and the krill Meganyctiphanes norvegica. However, a few of the A. hemigymnus photophores, and a part of the P. notatus response were potentiated when using nitric oxide donors. The variety in nitric oxide responses was reflected by the presence of nitric oxide synthase-like material in different cell types, including neurons, photocytes and lens/filter cells, in the photophores from the studied fish species and Meganyctiphanes norvegica. -
And Interspecific Variability Among Congeneric Pagellus Otoliths
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Intra‑ and interspecifc variability among congeneric Pagellus otoliths Claudio D’Iglio1,2,5, Marco Albano1,5, Sergio Famulari1, Serena Savoca 1*, Giuseppe Panarello1, Davide Di Paola1, Anna Perdichizzi2, Paola Rinelli2, Giovanni Lanteri3, Nunziacarla Spanò4 & Gioele Capillo2,3 Otolith features are useful tools for studying taxonomy, ecology, paleontology, and fsh biology since they represent a permanent record of life history. Nevertheless, the functional morphology of otoliths remains an open research question that is useful to completely understand their eco‑morphology. This study aims to deepen the knowledge of intra‑ and interspecifc variation in sagitta morphology in three congeneric seabreams, to understand how such variability could be related to the lifestyles of each species. Therefore, the sagittae (n = 161) of 24 Pagellus bogaraveo, 24 Pagellus acarne, and 37 Pagellus erythrinus specimens, collected from the south Tyrrhenian Sea, were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and a stereomicroscope to assess morphometric features, variability between otolith pairs and the external crystalline structure the of sulcus acusticus. Statistical analysis demonstrated that, between the species, variability in sagittal otolith rostral length growth and sulcus acusticus features, correlated with increased fsh total length and body weight. Moreover, slight diferences between otolith pairs were detected in P. acarne and P. erythrinus (P < 0.05). The results confrm changes in otolith morphometry and morphology between diferent congeneric species and populations of the same species from diferent habitats. Te inner ear is fundamental for vestibular and acoustic functions (balance and hearing) in teleost fshes. Its structure comprises three semicircular canals and their end organs, the ampullae, and three otolith organs (the sacculus, utriculus, and lagena).
