  • Science Review 2013
    Science Review 2013 Research using data accessed through the Global Biodiversity Information Facility Foreword When surveying the growing number of papers making use of GBIF-mobilized data, one thing that is striking is the breadth of geographic, temporal, and taxonomic scale these studies cover. GBIF-mobilized data is relevant to surveying county- level populations of velvet ants in Oklahoma, to predicting the impact of climate change on the distribution of invasive species, and to determining the extent to which humanity has made innovative uses of the biosphere as measured by the biodiversity of patent applications. All of these applications rely on both the quality and quantity of the data that are available to biodiversity researchers. Within the wider scientific community the theme of data citation is gaining wider prominence, both as a means to give credit to those who create and curate data, and to track the provenance of data as they are used (and re-used). Many of the papers listed in this report come with Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) that uniquely identify each publication, which facilitates tracking the use of each paper (for example through citations by other publications, or other venues such as online discussions and social media). Initiatives to encourage ‘data papers’ in online journals, such as those produced by Pensoft Publishers (see p41), are associating DOIs with data, so that data no longer are the poor cousins of standard research papers. One thing I look forward to is seeing DOIs attached directly to GBIF-mobilized data, so that we can begin to track the use of the data with greater fidelity, providing valuable feedback to those who have seen the value of GBIF and have contributed to GBIF’s effort to enable free and open access to biodiversity data.

The specimens were collected during the research expedition of the FORV Sagar Sampada, Cruise from west of the Andaman Islands, at a depth of 290 m. The morphometric and meristic characters, description and distribution range of the collected specimens are presented in this study. Keywords: Spikefishes, New record, Distribution, Indian Ocean. Zoobank: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:8EE49004-B860-4191-B424-E1AC09236509 Introduction The spikefishes of the family Triacanthodidae mainly occur benthic at depths between 100 to 600 m on continental shelves and slopes (Tyler 1968; Matsuura and Tyler 1997). Within the family, a total of 11 valid genera and 23 species (Eschmeyer et al. 2017) are distinguished. They are characterised by a deep and slightly compressed body, covered by a moderately thick skin with numerous small scales with a roughly shagreen-like appearance; two separate dorsal fins, six spines in the first dorsal fin and 12-18 soft rays in the second dorsal fin; caudal fin rounded to almost truncate; most dorsal-, anal-, and pectoral-fin rays branched; pelvic fins with a large spine and one or two inconspicuous and rudimentary soft rays; mouth small and usually terminal; teeth of moderate size, usually conical, 10 or more in an outer series in each jaw; caudal peduncle compressed, deeper than wide, not distinctly tapered (Matsuura 2001).

SHOMURA and FRANCIS WILLIAMS (Editors) SEATTLE, WA June 1975 NATIONAL OCEANIC AND National Marine noaa ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION Fisheries Service NOAA TECHNICAL REPORTS National Marine Fisheries Service, Special Scientific Report—Fisheries Series The major responsibilities of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) are to monitor and assess the abundance and geographic distribution 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 implementation 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 Special Scientific Report —Fisheries series was established in 1949. The series carries reports oft scientific investigations that document long-term continuing programs of NMFS, or intensive scientific reports on studies of restricted scope. The reports may deal with applied fishery problems. The series is also used as a medium for the publica- tion of bibliographies of a specialized scientific nature, NOAA Technical Reports NMFS SSRF are available free in limited numbers to governmental agencies, both Federal and State. They are also available in exchange for other scientific and technical publications in the marine sciences.

    NOAA Technical Report NMFS 38 'September 1986 Fishery Atlas of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Richard N. Uchida and James H. Uchiyama (Editors) U.s. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Marine Fisheries Service NOAA TECHNICAL REPORT NMFS _ The major responsibilities of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) are to monitor and assess the abundance and geographic distribution of fishery resources, to understand and predict fluctuations in the quantity and distribution of these resources, and to establish levels for their optimum use. NMFS is also charged with the developmen' and implementation 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 that document long-term continuing programs of NMFS; intensive scientific reports on studies of restricted scope; papers on applied fishery problems; technical reports of general interest intended to aid conservation and management; reports that review in con­ siderable detail and at a high technical level certain broad areas of research; and technical papers originating in economics studies and from management investigations. Since this is a formal series, all submitted papers receive peer review and those accepted receive professional editing before publication.
