  • Endangered Species
    FEATURE: ENDANGERED SPECIES Conservation Status of Imperiled North American Freshwater and Diadromous Fishes ABSTRACT: This is the third compilation of imperiled (i.e., endangered, threatened, vulnerable) plus extinct freshwater and diadromous fishes of North America prepared by the American Fisheries Society’s Endangered Species Committee. Since the last revision in 1989, imperilment of inland fishes has increased substantially. This list includes 700 extant taxa representing 133 genera and 36 families, a 92% increase over the 364 listed in 1989. The increase reflects the addition of distinct populations, previously non-imperiled fishes, and recently described or discovered taxa. Approximately 39% of described fish species of the continent are imperiled. There are 230 vulnerable, 190 threatened, and 280 endangered extant taxa, and 61 taxa presumed extinct or extirpated from nature. Of those that were imperiled in 1989, most (89%) are the same or worse in conservation status; only 6% have improved in status, and 5% were delisted for various reasons. Habitat degradation and nonindigenous species are the main threats to at-risk fishes, many of which are restricted to small ranges. Documenting the diversity and status of rare fishes is a critical step in identifying and implementing appropriate actions necessary for their protection and management. Howard L.

There are 33 university– In the winter following the Deepwater Horizon oil spill of 2010, numer- based Sea Grant programs ous fishermen reported seeing skin lesions on offshore fish in the Gulf throughout the coastal U.S. These programs are primarily of Mexico. Skin lesions are a relatively rare occurrence in offshore fish supported by the National populations. People had questions about what caused the lesions and Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the states concerns about fish health and seafood safety. in which the programs are located. In the immediate aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon spill, BP committed $500 million over a 10–year period to create the Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative, or GoMRI. It is an independent research program that studies the effect of hydrocarbon releases on the environment and public health, as well as develops improved spill mitigation, oil detection, characterization and remediation technologies. GoMRI is led by an independent and academic 20–member research board. The Sea Grant oil spill science outreach team identifies the best available science from projects funded by GoMRI and FIGURE 1.

  • Ostariophysi: Characiformes: Anostomidae)
    Neotropical Ichthyology, 4(1):27-44, 2006 Copyright © 2006 Sociedade Brasileira de Ictiologia Revision of the South American freshwater fish genus Laemolyta Cope, 1872 (Ostariophysi: Characiformes: Anostomidae) Kelly Cristina Mautari and Naércio Aquino Menezes The anostomid genus Laemolyta Cope, 1872, is redefined.Various morphological, especially osteological characters in addi- tion to the commonly utilized features of dentition proved useful for its characterization. A taxonomic revision of all species was made using meristics, morphometrics and color pattern. Five species are recognized: Laemolyta fernandezi Myers, 1950, from the río Orinoco (Venezuela) and the sub-basins Tocantins/Araguaia and Xingu, L. orinocensis (Steindachner, 1879), restricted to the río Orinoco, L. garmani (Borodin, 1931) and L. proxima (Garman, 1890), from the Amazon basin with the latter also occurring in the Essequibo River (Guiana), and L. taeniata (Kner, 1859), from the Amazon and Orinoco basins. Laemolyta garmani macra is considered a synonym of L. garmani, L. petiti a synonym of L. fernandezi, and L. nitens and L. varia synonyms of L. proxima. Lectotypes are designated herein for L. orinocencis and L. taeniata. O gênero Laemolyta Cope, 1872 da família Anostomidae é redefinido e além das características da dentição usualmente utilizadas, outros caracteres morfológicos, principalmente osteológicos, também se revelaram úteis para sua conceituação. Foi feita a revisão taxonômica de todas as espécies utilizando-se dados morfométricos, merísticos e padrão de colorido. Cinco espécies são reconhecidas: Laemolyta fernandezi Myers, 1950 do rio Orinoco (Venezuela) e rios Tocantins/Araguaia e Xingu, Laemolyta orinocensis (Steindachner, 1879) restrita ao rio Orenoco, L. garmani (Borodin, 1931) e Laemolyta proxima (Garman, 1890) da bacia Amazônica, esta última ocorrendo também no rio Essequibo (Guianas) e Laemolyta taeniata (Kner, 1859) da bacia Amazônica e rio Orenoco.

  • Reproductive Biology of the Stingray Hypanus Marianae , an Endemic
    ReproduCtive Biology of the stingray Hypanus marianae, an endemic species from Southwestern Tropical Atlantic Ocean Biologia Reprodutiva da raia Hypanus marianae, uma espécie endêmica do SudOeste do Oceano Atlântico Tropical Biología reproductiva de la raya Hypanus marianae, una especie endémica del suROeste del Océano Atlántico Tropical Ana Rita Onodera Palmeira Nunes1 Getulio Rincon1,2 Ricardo de Souza Rosa3 Jorge Luiz Silva Nunes1 Abstract The Brazilian Large-eyed stingray Hypanus marianae is the smallest species of the family Dasyatidae in Brazil. This study aims to provide data on the reproductive biology of this species captured in artisanal fisheries from Ceará State. A total of 299 individuals of H. marianae were recorded at monitoring landings and adult male to female sex ratio was significantly different (1:2.9), indicating a possible spatial segregation between males and females. The size range was from 13.0 to 36.2cm in disc width (DW). Females reached greater size and body mass (36.2cm DW and 1855g) than males (29.3cm DW and 915g). The reproductive system analyses were based on 81 preserved specimens. The DW50 parameter was estimated at 26.1cm DW for females, and 23.8cm DW for males. Only the left uterus is functional, and birth size was estimated at 13.0–14.0cm DW. Vitellogenesis occurred concurrently with a short gestation (shorter than 6 months) and uterine fecundity is only one embryo per reproductive cycle, which seems to be asynchronous. Keywords: maturity, fecundity, birth, embryos, Dasyatidae. Resumo A raia Mariquita Hypanus marianae é a menor espécie da família Dasyatidae no Brasil e este trabalho tem como objetivo reportar informações acerca da sua biologia reprodutiva a partir de capturas da pesca artesanal no estado do Ceará.

Counting the American (freshwater) eel, Anguilla rostrata, which migrates from rivers through the Gulf to spawn in the mid-Atlantic’s Sargasso Sea, fully 22 species of eels from seven families, can be found along Louisiana’s coast. Without a doubt, the two biggest and fiercest species are the king snake eel Ophichthus rex and the conger eel, Conger oceanicus. Of the two, the king snake eel is the most common. It is found in waters from Florida to Texas in waters 50 to 1,200 feet deep. It is less common in waters under 200 feet deep and most of the eels found in shallower waters are smaller than those from deeper waters. They are almost always found on soft mud bottoms––the softer, the better. In color, they are yellowish-brown above, with a dark band at the nape of the neck and 14 broad dark saddle-like marks on their back. The belly is white. They grow to over 7 feet in length and well over 50 pounds. More impressive, they possess a mouth full of razor sharp teeth that they do not hesitate to use on anyone or anything handy.
