An integrated approach was neces- Biogeographical ecoregions sary, as global gaps in information and variable sampling methods preclude strictly statistical approaches. A Oceanic biomes panel combining expertise in oceanography, geospatial mapping, and deep-sea biology convened to collate Gyres expert opinion on the distributional patterns of pelagic fauna relative to environmental proxies (temperature, Oxygen minimum zones salinity, and dissolved oxygen at mesopelagic depths). An iterative Delphi Method integrating additional bio- Upwelling logical and physical data was used to classify biogeographic ecoregions and to identify the location of ecoregion boundaries or inter-regions gradients. We define 33 global mesopelagic ecoregions. Of these, 20 are oceanic while 13 are ‘distant neritic.’ While each is driven by a complex of controlling factors, the putative primary driver of each ecoregion was identified. While work remains to be done to produce a comprehensive and robust mesopelagic biogeography (i.e., reflecting temporal variation), we believe that the classification set forth in this study will prove to be a useful and timely input to policy planning and management for conservation of deep- pelagic marine resources. In particular, it gives an indication of the spatial scale at which faunal communities are expected to be broadly similar in composition, and hence can inform application of ecosystem-based ⁎ Corresponding author.

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.

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 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.

    604 Evolution & Ontology Symposium, Grand Ballroom I, Saturday 25 July 2009 Paula Mabee University of South Dakota, Vermillion, SD, United States Phenoscape: Using Ontologies to Link Comparative Morphology to Genes Decades of comparative anatomical studies in ichthyology and herpetology have resulted in a rich body of ‘free-text’ data. As these data grow, they are increasingly hard to align and synthesize across taxonomic groups, and synthetic questions concerning the developmental and genetic basis of evolutionary changes in morphology cannot be easily or efficiently addressed. In order for this volume of comparative anatomical data to be analyzed in a developmental genetic context, it must first be rendered computable. One way to achieve this is to use ontologies. Using ostariophysan fishes as a prototype, the Phenoscape project has developed a system that includes ontologies representing expert knowledge of anatomy and taxonomy (the Teleost Anatomy Ontology and the Teleost Taxonomy Ontology), software for data curation (Phenex), and a knowledgebase that supports ontology-based reasoning about evolutionary phenotype data (PhenoscapeKB, http://phenoscape.org/kb). To date, over 5,000 characters from the phylogenetic literature have been annotated for 8,300 species, resulting in over eight million annotated phenotypes. PhenoscapeKB combines these evolutionary phenotypes with information about genetically characterized phenotype from ZFIN, the zebrafish community database. Through ontology-based reasoning over expert knowledge in taxonomy,

The following forty species were identified and described: Nemichthys scolopaceus, Avocettina infans, Bathylagus milleri, B. ochotensis, B. pacijirus, B. schmidti, Gonostoma gracile, Ichthy(}C()()CUS e/ongatus, Oyclothone alba, O. pseudopallida, O. atraria, Argyropelecus hemigymnus, A. sladeni, Danaphos oculatus, Ohauliodus macouni, O. sloani, Tactostoma macropus, Benthalbella linguidens, Protomyctophum crockeri, P. beckeri, P. thompsoni, Symbolophorus californiensis, Myctophum nitidulum, M. obtusirostre, M. lychnobium, Hygophum proximum, Tarletonbeania crenularis, T. taylori, Diaphus theta, D. kuroshio, Oeratoscopelus warmingii, Electrona, risso, Stenobrachius nannochir, S. leucopsarus, Lampanyctus ritteri, L. fernae, L. jordani, L. regalis, Melamphoes lugubris and Zaprora silenus. Introduction The taxonomy and zoogeography of mesopelagic deep-sea fishes in the North Pacific, have been studied by many authors (e.g., Taylor, 1967; Kawaguchi, 1971 ; Haruta, 1975; Wisner, 1976; Peden et aI., 1985).
