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.

Doğdu1, Serpil Karan1 1Molecular Ecology and Fisheries Genetics Laboratory, Marine Science Department, Faculty of Marine Science and Technology, Iskenderun Technical University, 31220 Iskenderun, Hatay, Turkey 2Fisheries Faculty, Firat University, 23119 Elazig, Turkey Abstract A checklist of non-indigenous marine fishes including bony, cartilaginous and jawless distributed along the Turkish Marine Waters was for the first time generated in the present study. The number of records of non-indigenous fish species found in Turkish marine waters were 101 of which 89 bony, 11 cartilaginous and 1 jawless. In terms of occurrence of non-indigenous fish species in the surrounding Turkish marine waters, the Mediterranean coast has the highest diversity (92 species), followed by the Aegean Sea (50 species), the Marmara Sea (11 species) and the Black Sea (2 species). The Indo-Pacific origin of the non-indigenous fish species is represented with 73 species while the Atlantic origin of the non-indigenous species is represented with 22 species. Only first occurrence of a species in the Mediterranean, Aegean, Marmara and Black Sea Coasts of Turkey is given with its literature in the list. Keywords: Checklist, non-indigenous fishes, Turkish Marien Waters Article history: Received 14 August 2018, Accepted 08 October 2018, Available online 10 October 2018 Introduction Fishes are the most primitive members of the subphylum Craniata, constituting more than half of the living vertebrate species. There is a relatively rich biota in the Mediterranean Sea although it covers less than 1% of the global ocean surface.

SMITH I SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 566 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 Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies 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 of 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.

  • Zoogeography and Systematics of Six Deep-Living Genera of Synaphobranchid Eels, with a Key to Taxa and Description of Two New Species of Ilyophis
    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 60(3): 1158-1194, 1997 ZOOGEOGRAPHY AND SYSTEMATICS OF SIX DEEP-LIVING GENERA OF SYNAPHOBRANCHID EELS, WITH A KEY TO TAXA AND DESCRIPTION OF TWO NEW SPECIES OF ILYOPHIS Kenneth J. Sulak and Yuri N. Shcherbachev ABSTRACT An extensive series of deep-sea synaphobranchid eels was studied, primarily from previ- ously unreported Russian collections in the southern Indian and southwestern Pacific oceans, Together with previous records, new Russian records provide a worldwide summary of the geographic and bathymetric distributions of the 14 species comprising the genera Diasto- branchus, Haptenchelys, Histiobranchus, llyophis, Simenchelys, and Synaphobranchus. A diagnostic key defines species in these genera, including two newly discovered species of J/yophis. The multi-character key facilitates unequivocal identification of synaphobranchid specimens. Diastobranchus and Histiobranchus are re-established as genera distinct from Synaphobranchus. Diagnoses of subfamilies and genera are refined, The zoogeography of studied taxa is summarized. Synaphobranchid eels are important components of the demersal deep-sea fish fauna at continental slope and rise depths in both temperate and tropical regions. Indeed, in all well-sampled regions except the northeastern Pacific, they have consistently proven to be a dominant fraction of the bathyal fish fauna in terms of relative abundance from bottom trawl samples (Markle and Musick, 1974; Haedrich et al., 1975, 1980; Merrett and Marshall, 1981; Sulak, 1982; Gordon lmd Duncan, 1985; Merrett and Domanski, 1985; Gordon, 1986). Off the northern Mid-Atlantic coast of the U.S. synaphobranchids made up 10-14% of all demersal fishes obtained in 12.2-m otter trawls between 1280 and 1960 m depths (Haedrich and Horn, 1970; Haedrich and Polloni, 1974),53% in 4.9-m trawls between 393- 1095 m (Haedrich et al., 1975) and 21% of all megafauna (fishes and benthic invertebrates) from three trawl types between 653-1290 m (Haedrich et al., 1980).

Zoological Studies 40(2): 79-83. A new species of the synaphobranchid eel genus Dysomma is described from the northeastern coast of Taiwan based on 1 speci- men collected by bottom trawl at depths from 100 to 150 m. It is characterized as having an exceptionally long snout and jaw (4.6% and 8.2% of total length, respectively), no premaxillary teeth, slender and multiserial teeth on the maxillary and dentary, five large compound teeth on the vomer, a tubelike groove connecting pairs of lateral line pores, and a brownish body color. Key words: Synaphobranchidae, Dysomma longirostrum n. sp., Nanfangao. For a long time, only 2 synaphobranchid waters northeast of Taiwan at a depth of 100-150 m species, Dysomma anguillare and D. melanurum, and landed at the Nanfangao fish market on the had been reported from Taiwanese waters (Chen northeastern coast.

E-mail: [email protected] 4Corresponding author Abstract Three new species of eels of the genus Dysomma are described from the western North Pacific Ocean off Taiwan. Dys- omma formosa sp. nov., described from 34 specimens, differs from the congeners in having single row of 11–14 large compound teeth followed by 3–10 smaller teeth on lower jaw, 17–33 lateral-line pores, and 128–133 total vertebrae. Dy- somma brachygnathos sp. nov., described from two specimens, differs from the congeners in the lack of a pectoral fin, having an anterior position of anus (preanal length 17.8–ca. 18.6% SL), 23–32 lateral line pores, a short lower jaw, and 131+‒136 total vertebrae. Dysomma robinsorum sp. nov., described from four specimens, differs from the congeners in having an anterior position of anus; preanal length 15.5–16.9% SL, no intermaxillary teeth; multiple rows of teeth on up- per jaw; four compound teeth on vomer; teeth on lower jaw multiserial, those on inner row slightly enlarged, and 122–124 total vertebrae.

However, identifying those leptocephali can be important in illuminating species richness in a region. Since the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010, sampling of offshore fishes in the epi-, meso-, and upper bathypelagic Edited by: depth strata of the northern Gulf of Mexico resulted in 8989 identifiable specimens of Michael Vecchione, leptocephalus larvae or transforming juveniles, in 118 taxa representing 83 recognized National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), United States and established species and an additional 35 distinctive leptocephalus morphotypes Reviewed by: not yet linked to a known described species. Leptocephali account for ∼13% of the Mackenzie E. Gerringer, total species richness of fishes collected in the offshore region. A new morphotype SUNY Geneseo, United States Dave Johnson, of Muraenidae leptocephalus is also described. We compare this study with other National Museum of Natural History leptocephalus diversity studies in the western Atlantic.

  • Zoogeography and Systematics of Six Deep-Living Genera of Synaphobranchid Eels, with a Key to Taxa and Description of Two New Species of Ilyophis
    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 60(3): 1158-1194, 1997 ZOOGEOGRAPHY AND SYSTEMATICS OF SIX DEEP-LIVING GENERA OF SYNAPHOBRANCHID EELS, WITH A KEY TO TAXA AND DESCRIPTION OF TWO NEW SPECIES OF ILYOPHIS Kenneth J. Sulak and Yuri N. Shcherbachev ABSTRACT An extensive series of deep-sea synaphobranchid eels was studied, primarily from previ- ously unreported Russian collections in the southern Indian and southwestern Pacific oceans, Together with previous records, new Russian records provide a worldwide summary of the geographic and bathymetric distributions of the 14 species comprising the genera Diasto- branchus, Haptenchelys, Histiobranchus, llyophis, Simenchelys, and Synaphobranchus. A diagnostic key defines species in these genera, including two newly discovered species of J/yophis. The multi-character key facilitates unequivocal identification of synaphobranchid specimens. Diastobranchus and Histiobranchus are re-established as genera distinct from Synaphobranchus. Diagnoses of subfamilies and genera are refined, The zoogeography of studied taxa is summarized. Synaphobranchid eels are important components of the demersal deep-sea fish fauna at continental slope and rise depths in both temperate and tropical regions. Indeed, in all well-sampled regions except the northeastern Pacific, they have consistently proven to be a dominant fraction of the bathyal fish fauna in terms of relative abundance from bottom trawl samples (Markle and Musick, 1974; Haedrich et al., 1975, 1980; Merrett and Marshall, 1981; Sulak, 1982; Gordon lmd Duncan, 1985; Merrett and Domanski, 1985; Gordon, 1986). Off the northern Mid-Atlantic coast of the U.S. synaphobranchids made up 10-14% of all demersal fishes obtained in 12.2-m otter trawls between 1280 and 1960 m depths (Haedrich and Horn, 1970; Haedrich and Polloni, 1974),53% in 4.9-m trawls between 393- 1095 m (Haedrich et al., 1975) and 21% of all megafauna (fishes and benthic invertebrates) from three trawl types between 653-1290 m (Haedrich et al., 1980).
