SPARKS1 AND PAUL V. DUNLAP 2 ABSTRACT A phylogeny was generated for Leiognathidae, commonly known as pony®shes, using nu- cleotide characters from two mitochondrial genes. Results indicate that Leiognathidae com- prises two major clades, one consisting of species that exhibit internally sexually dimorphic light-organ systems (LOS), and the Leiognathus equulus species complex, whose members exhibit neither internal nor external sexual dimorphism of the LOS. Species with internally sexually dimorphic LOS generally also exhibit associated male-speci®c external modi®cations in the form of transparent patches on the margin of the opercle, the midlateral ¯ank, or behind the pectoral ®n axil. The L. equulus species complex is the sister group to all other leiog- nathids, and a new species, L. robustus, recovered within this clade is described herein. Results demonstrate that Leiognathus is paraphyletic, whereas Gazza and Secutor are each monophy- letic and are nested within the sexually dimorphic clade. The morphology of the LOS of non- sexually dimorphic leiognathids is compared to the more common sexually dimorphic state, and differences in these systems are discussed and illustrated. In the context of a family-level phylogeny, we can trace the evolution of the leiognathid LOS from a ``simple'' non-sexually dimorphic circumesophageal light organ to a complex and species-speci®c luminescence sys- tem involving not only major structural modi®cations of the light organ itself but also nu- merous associated tissues.

    PUBLISHED BY THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY CENTRAL PARK WEST AT 79TH STREET, NEW YORK, NY 10024 Number 3526, 20 pp., 7 figures, 2 tables September 8, 2006 A New Species of Ponyfish (Teleostei: Leiognathidae: Photoplagios) from Madagascar, with a Phylogeny for Photoplagios and Comments on the Status of Equula lineolata Valenciennes JOHN S. SPARKS ABSTRACT A new species of ponyfish in the genus Photoplagios is described from material collected in coastal waters of northeastern Madagascar. Photoplagios antongil, new species, is distinguished from congeners by the presence of a broad midlateral stripe and two darkly pigmented flank patches located ventral to the lateral midline, which are presumably translucent in life but darkly pigmented in preservative due to a concentration of melanophores. The new species is further distinguished from P. leuciscus, the only externally similar species occurring in the region, by the absence of a large translucent triangular patch on the flanks, a much shorter second dorsal-fin spine, a straight predorsal profile, pigmentation pattern on the upper flanks, absence of black pigment in the pectoral-fin axil, and exposed conical oral dentition in two distinct rows. A phylogeny for Photoplagios is provided based on the simultaneous analysis of anatomical features of the light-organ system and nucleotide characters. The taxonomic statusofEquula lineolata Valenciennes, in Cuvier and Valenciennes, 1835 is discussed, and the species is herein concluded to be a nomen dubium of uncertain placement beyond the family level.

Phylogenetic analyses were Fish performed on 97 grunt species based on sequence data collected from seven loci. Divergence time estimation Functional traits indicates that Haemulidae originated during the mid Eocene (54.7–42.3 Ma) but that the major lineages were Morphospace formed during the mid-Oligocene 30–25 Ma. We propose a new classification that reflects the phylogenetic Macroevolution history of grunts. Overall the pattern of morphological and functional diversification in grunts appears to be Zooplanktivore strongly linked with feeding ecology. Feeding traits and the first principal component of body shape strongly separate species that feed in benthic and pelagic habitats. The benthic-to-pelagic axis has been the major axis of ecomorphological diversification in this important group of tropical shoreline fishes, with about 13 transitions between feeding habitats that have had major consequences for head and body morphology.

    A REVIEW OF THE SPARID^ AND RELATED FAMILIES OF PERCH-LIKE FISHES FOUND IN THE WATERS OF JAPAN. By David Starr Jordan and William Francis Thompson, Of Stanford University, California. In the present paper is given a review of the species of fishes belonging to those percomorphoiis famihes alUed to the Sparoid fishes, or fishes related to the tai or porgy of the waters of Japan, which have not been hitherto discussed in these pages by the senior author and his associates. The families of Kuldiidse, Priacanthidse, Theraponidse, Banjosidae, Hsemulidae, Sparidse, Kyphosidse, and Ery- thrichthyidse are thus included. The paper is based on material collected in Japan in 1900 by Pro- fessors Jordan and Snyder and now divided between the United States National Museum and the museum of Stanford University. Most of the cuts are from drawings by Mr. Sekko Shimada. The families here named are adopted provisionally only. The dis- tinctions between Sparidse, Haemulidse, Lutianidae, and their relatives are of doubtful value, while at present no definite boundaries can be assigned to the Serranidse. L Family KUHLIID.^. Body oblong, strongly compressed; scales large, cihated. Lateral line complete, the tubes straight and occupying the half or more of the exposed surface of the scale. Mouth rather large, protractile; maxillary exposed, without supplemental bone; teeth in jaws in villi- form bands; teeth on vomer, palatines, entopterygoids, and ecto- pterygoids; tongue smooth; head partly naked; preorbital and pre- opercle denticulate; opercle with 2 spines. Gill membranes separate; 6 branchiostegals; pseudobranchise large; gill-rakers long and slender. Dorsal fms connected at the base, with X, 9 to 13 rays, the spinous portion longer than the soft.

    Age-Based Life History of the Mariana Islands' Deep-Water Snapper

    Age-Based Life History of the Mariana Islands’ Deep-Water Snapper, Pristipomoides filamentosus BY Francisco C. Villagomez A Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE IN BIOLOGY SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE Dr. Frank A. Camacho, Chair Dr. Kathleen A. Moots, Member Dr. Allen H. Andrews, Member UNIVERSITY OF GUAM NOVEMBER 2019 Abstract The deep-water snapper Pristipomoides filamentosus is a commercially important bottomfish in the Mariana Islands and is a significant component of annual bottomfish catches from the Marianas. However, life-history parameters that inform management of this species are poorly resolved and unvalidated for populations of P. filamentosus in the Mariana Islands. I investigated the life-history of P. filamentosus from the Mariana Islands, commonly known as opakapaka and buninas, and applied bomb-radiocarbon (14C) dating to validate traditional age estimates for this species. I determined the sex of male and female opakapaka histologically and used logistic regression analysis to investigate differences in length- and age-at-maturity between the sexes. The age of individual fish were estimated from counts of annuli from transverse sections of sagittal otoliths. I used a series of 14C-validated otoliths to corroborate visual estimates of age from otoliths collected from the Mariana Islands. The von Bertalanffy growth function was used to investigate the functional relationship of age and length between male and female opakapaka and to explore regional differences from the northern and southern Mariana Islands. I also investigated the utility of otolith mass and otolith thickness for predicting ages using regression analyses. Length and age at maturity for males and females were estimated at 29.3 cm FL at 2.8 years and 41.2 cm FL at 5.0 years, respectively.

DOWNEY This thesis meets the standards for scope and quality of Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi and is hereby approved. Gregory W. Stunz, PhD Matthew J. Ajemian, PhD Chair Committee Member Derek Hogan, PhD Committee Member December 2016 ABSTRACT Energy exploration in the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) has resulted in the addition of numerous oil and gas production platforms adding structurally complex habitat to an area otherwise comprised of primarily barren mud/sand bottom. The impact of these artificial structures on fish populations is generally unknown, and there is ongoing debate regarding their performance in comparison to natural reefs. Thus, the purpose of this study was to characterize trends in Red Snapper reproduction and diet in the northwestern Gulf at oil and gas platforms relative to natural reefs. Red Snapper were collected from standing and reefed platforms and natural hard-bottom. Fecundity parameters (sex, total weight, gonad weight, total length) were measured, and these data showed Red Snapper fecundity and spawning behavior were similar among natural, standing, and reefed habitats.
