SPRINGER m SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 367 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoo/ogy Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world cf science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

Nottingham1 , José Roberto Feitosa Silva2 , Maria Elisabeth de Araújo1, 3 ABSTRACT Aspects of the morphology and histology of the testicles of Holacanthus ciliaris were studied in this research. Monthly collections of living fish, totaling 39 males, were carried out between December, 2000 and November, 2001 on the coast of Ceará State, Brazil. The total length of the fish varied between 63.4 mm and 334 mm, the standard length between 50.9 mm and 270 mm, and the total weight between 6,70 g and 590 g. The testicles were bilobed and ribbon-like in shape, with firm texture and coloration varying between transparent and amber. In the histological study, male gametes were found in all espermatogenesis stages along the months of the year. Key words: Holacanthus ciliaris, Pomacanthidae, reef fish, reproduction.

Accepted 22 January, 2014 In the present investigation, a total of 5 species belonging to three genera such as Pomacanthus, Centropyge and Apolemichthys were reported from the 10 selected stations of Tamilnadu, south east coast of India. The diversity studies revealed that the species diversity, richness and evenness were comparatively higher at Rameshwaram and Kanniyakumari due to the rocky shore and coral reef ecosystem. Species composition study revealed that the smoke angel (Apolemichthys xanthurus) was found to be dominant group which constituting 57% of total fishes. The results of the present study evidenced that the occurrence and distribution of marine angel fishes were higher in Gulf of Mannar than other region of Tamilnadu. The present findings clearly explained about distribution pattern of marine angel fishes which could be useful for better understanding of the status of its diversity along southeast coast of India and also highlights the need for effective conservation measures of these commercially important marine ornamental fish group. Key words: South east coast of India, distribution, diversity, taxonomy, marine angelfishes, pomacanthidae. INTRODUCTION The marine ornamental fishes are one of the most highly prized of the coral reef fishes which contains 8 popular attractions in worldwide due to their adaptability genera and 82 species worldwide (Debelius et al., 2003; to live in confinement.

  • Reef Fishes of the Phoenix Islands, Central Pacific Ocean
    REEF FISHES OF THE PHOENIX ISLANDS, CENTRAL PACIFIC OCEAN BY GERALD ALLEN1 AND STEVEN BAILEY2 ABSTRACT Visual inventories and fish collections were conducted at the Phoenix Islands during June-July 2002. A list of fishes was compiled for 57 sites. The survey involved 163 hours of scuba diving to a maximum depth of 57 m. A total of 451 species were recorded, including 212 new records. The total known fish fauna of the Phoenix Islands now stands at 516 species. A formula for predicting the total reef fish fauna based on the number of species in six key indicator families indicates that at least 576 species can be expected to occur at this location. Wrasses (Labridae), groupers (Serranidae), gobies (Gobiidae), damselfishes (Pomacentridae), and surgeonfishes (Acanthuridae) were the most speciose families with 53, 40, 36, 36, and 32 species respectively. Species numbers at visually sampled sites during the survey ranged from 17 to 166, with an average of 110. Leeward outer reefs contained the highest diversity with an average of 135.5 species per site. Other major habitats included windward outer reefs (123.7 per site), passages (113.5), and lagoon reefs (38.5). The Napoleon Wrasse (Cheilinus undulatus) was extraordinarily abundant, providing excellent baseline information on the natural abundance of this species in the absence of fishing pressure. Conservation recommendations include protection of certain large predatory fishes including the Napoleon Wrasse, Bumphead Parrotfish, and reef sharks. INTRODUCTION The primary goal of the fish survey was to provide a comprehensive inventory of reef fishes inhabiting the Phoenix Islands. This segment of the fauna includes fishes living on or near coral reefs down to the limit of safe sport diving or approximately 55 m depth.

  • New Records of Fishes from the Hawaiian Islands!
    Pacific Science (1980), vol. 34, no. 3 © 1981 by The University Press of Hawaii. All rights reserved New Records of Fishes from the Hawaiian Islands! JOHN E. RANDALL 2 ABSTRACT: The following fishes represent new records for the Hawaiian Islands: the moray eel Lycodontis javanicus (Bleeker), the frogfish Antennarius nummifer (Cuvier), the jack Carangoides ferdau (Forssk::U), the grouper Cromileptes altivelis (Cuvier) (probably an aquarium release), the chubs Kyphosus cinerascens (Forsskal) and K. vaigiensis (Quoy and Gaimard), the armorhead Pentaceros richardsoni Smith, the goatfish Upeneus vittatus (Forsskal) (a probable unintentional introduction by the Division of Fish and Game, State of Hawaii), the wrasse Halichoeres marginatus Ruppell,' the gobies Nemateleotris magnifica Fowler and Discordipinna griessingeri Hoese and Fourmanoir, the angelfish Centropyge multicolor Randall and Wass, the surgeonfish Acanthurus lineatus (Linnaeus), the oceanic cutlassfish Assurger anzac (Alexander), and the driftfish Hyperoglyphe japonica (Doderlein). In addition, the snapper Pristipomoides auricilla (Jordan, Evermann, and Tanaka) and the wrasse Thalassoma quinquevittatum (Lay and Bennett), both overlooked in recent compilations, are shown to be valid species for the Hawaiian region. Following Parin (1967), the needlefish Tylosurus appendicu­ latus (Klunzinger), which has a ventral bladelike bony projection from the end of the lower jaw, is regarded as a morphological variant of T. acus (Lacepede). IN 1960, W. A. Gosline and V. E. Brock modified by Randall and Caldwell (1970). achieved the difficult task of bringing the fish Randall (1976) reviewed the additions to, fauna of the Hawaiian Islands into one com­ and alterations in, the nomenclature of the pact volume, their Handbook of Hawaiian Hawaiian fish fauna to 1975.
