  • 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 South China Sea is a major water body containing a large and diverse fish fauna. However, many areas of the South China Sea, particularly in Malaysia and Vietnam, have been poorly studied in terms of fish taxonomy and diversity. Local fish scientists and students have frequently faced difficulty when try- ing to identify fishes in their home countries.

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.

  • Congrid Eels of the Eastern Pacific and Key to Their Leptocephali
    22 NOAA Technical Report NMFS 22 Congrid Eels of the Eastern Pacific and Key to Their Leptocephali Solomon N. Raju February 1985 u.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Marine Fisheries Service NOAA TECHNICAL REPORTS NMFS The major responsibilities of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) are to monitor and assess the abundance and geographic distrihution of fishery resources, to understand and predict fluctuations in the quantity and distribution of these resources, and to establish levels for optimum use of the resources. NMFS is also charged with the development and implemen­ tation of policies for managing national fishing grounds, development and enforcement of domestic fisheries regulations, surveillance of foreign fishing off United States coastal waters, and the development and enforcement of international fishery agreements and policies. NMFS also assists the fishing industry through marketing service and economic analysis programs, and mortgage insurance and vessel construction subsidies. It collects. analyzes. and publishes statistics on various phases of the industry. The NOAA Technical Report NMFS series was established in 1983 to replace two subcategories of the Technical Reports series: "Special Scientific Report-Fisheries" and "Circular." The series contains the following types of reports: Scientific investigations thai document long-term continuing programs of NMFS, intensive scientific reports on studies of restricted scope, papers on applied fishery problems. technical reports of general jntere~t intended 10 aid conservation and management, reports that review in considerable detail and at a high technical level certain broad areas of research, and technical papers originating in economics studies and from management investigations. Copies of NOAA Technical Report NMFS are available free in limited numbers to governmental agencies, both Federal and State.

  • Nettastomatidae 751
    click for previous page Anguilliformes: Nettastomatidae 751 NETTASTOMATIDAE Duckbill eels by D.G. Smith, National Museum of Natural History, Washington, D.C., USA iagnostic characters: Maximum size approximately 1 m, usually smaller. Body elongate, anus before Dmidlength; tail slender, attenuate, often broken and regenerated. Head slender, snout and jaws elon- gate, snout projecting a variable distance beyond tip of lower jaw. Eye well developed. Mouth large, gape extending to about rear margin of eye; no fleshy flange on upper or lower lip; some teeth exposed when mouth closed; tip of lower jaw fits into depression behind intermaxillary tooth patch. Teeth on jaws and vomer generally small, conical, multiserial, except in Hoplunnis, which has enlarged vomerine fangs. Dorsal and anal fins present, confluent with caudal fin; dorsal fin begins over or slightly behind gill opening. Pectoral fin present or absent. Scales absent. Lateral line complete. Colour: brown, lighter ventrally, without markings; dorsal and anal fins often edged in black, especially posteriorly. elongate snout and jaws Habitat, biology, and fisheries: Nettastomatids live on or near the bottom in moderate to deep water. Al- though they are occasionally taken in trawls, they have no commercial value. Similar families occurring in the area The elongate body and head and the attenuate tail distinguish the Nettastomatidae from all but a few other eels. Derichthyidae (Nessorhamphus): the jaws are elongate, but the snout is depressed and spatulate, and the posterior nostril is near the tip of the snout. Serrivomeridae: have elongate, slender jaws, but the lower jaw usually projects beyond the upper. Most spe- cies have enlarged teeth on the vomer, but these are arranged alternately in a double row, resulting in a saw-like appearance, quite different from the separated fangs present on some nettastomatids (Hoplunnis).In serrivomerids, the anterior and posterior nostrils are located close together, immediately in front of the eye.
