An updated checklist and characterisation of the ichthyofauna (Elasmobranchii and Actinopterygii) of the Laguna de Tamiahua, Veracruz, Mexico. Acta Ichthyol. Piscat. 48 (4): 341–362. Background. Laguna de Tamiahua is ecologically and economically important as a nursery area that favours the recruitment of species that sustain traditional fisheries. It has been studied previously, though not throughout its whole area, and considering the variety of habitats that sustain these fisheries, as well as an increase in population growth that impacts the system. The objectives of this study were to present an updated list of fish species, data on special status, new records, commercial importance, dominance, density, ecotic position, and the spatial and temporal distribution of species in the lagoon, together with a comparison of Tamiahua with 14 other Gulf of Mexico lagoons. Materials and methods. Fish were collected in August and December 1996 with a Renfro beam net and an otter trawl from different habitats throughout the lagoon. The species were identified, classified in relation to special status, new records, commercial importance, density, dominance, ecotic position, and spatial distribution patterns.

The South China Sea is a major water body containing a large and diverse fish fauna. However, many areas of the South China Sea, particularly in Malaysia and Vietnam, have been poorly studied in terms of fish taxonomy and diversity. Local fish scientists and students have frequently faced difficulty when try- ing to identify fishes in their home countries.

Hilton1 and Sébastien Lavoué2,3 The bony-tongue fishes, Osteoglossomorpha, have been the focus of a great deal of morphological, systematic, and evolutio- nary study, due in part to their basal position among extant teleostean fishes. This group includes the mooneyes (Hiodontidae), knifefishes (Notopteridae), the abu (Gymnarchidae), elephantfishes (Mormyridae), arawanas and pirarucu (Osteoglossidae), and the African butterfly fish (Pantodontidae). This morphologically heterogeneous group also has a long and diverse fossil record, including taxa from all continents and both freshwater and marine deposits. The phylogenetic relationships among most extant osteoglossomorph families are widely agreed upon. However, there is still much to discover about the systematic biology of these fishes, particularly with regard to the phylogenetic affinities of several fossil taxa, within Mormyridae, and the position of Pantodon. In this paper we review the state of knowledge for osteoglossomorph fishes. We first provide an overview of the diversity of Osteoglossomorpha, and then discuss studies of the phylogeny of Osteoglossomorpha from both morphological and molecular perspectives, as well as biogeographic analyses of the group. Finally, we offer our perspectives on future needs for research on the systematic biology of Osteoglossomorpha. Keywords: Biogeography, Osteoglossidae, Paleontology, Phylogeny, Taxonomy. Os peixes da Superordem Osteoglossomorpha têm sido foco de inúmeros estudos sobre a morfologia, sistemática e evo- lução, particularmente devido à sua posição basal dentre os peixes teleósteos.

  • African Sharptooth Catfish Clarias Gariepinus
    African sharptooth catfish Clarias gariepinus 1 Taxonomy Species: Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822) Family: Clariidae Order: Siluriformes Class: Actinopterygii African sharptooth catfish Clarias gariepinus is a typical air-breathing catfish with a scaleless, bony elongated body with long dorsal and anal fins, and a helmet like head (Figure 1). Colour varies dorsally from dark to light brown and is often mottled with shades of olive and grey while the underside is a pale cream to white (Skelton 2001). It can grow very large with a maximum reported length of 170 cm (IGFA 2001) and weight of 60 kg (Robbins et al. 1991). Figure 1. Lateral view of Clarias gariepinus (Source: FAO 2012). The genus Clarias was reviewed in the 1980s, which resulted in several widespread species being synonymized (Clarias capensis of southern Africa, C. mossambicus of central Africa and C. lazera of west and north Africa) under the name Clarias gariepinus (Teugels 1986). 2 Natural distribution and habitat The native range of C. gariepinus covers most of the African continent, with the exception of Maghreb, Upper and Lower Guinea, and the Cape provinces of South Africa (Picker & Griffiths 2011) (Figure 2). According to Skelton (2001) it is probably the most widely distributed fish in Africa. Jubb (1967) describes its natural distribution as occurring as far south as the Orange River system in the west and the Umtamvuna River in the east of South Africa. Page | 1 C. gariepinus is widely tolerant of many different habitats, even the upper reaches of estuaries, but is considered to be a freshwater species. It favours floodplains, slow flowing rivers, lakes and dams (Skelton 2001).

  • Zootaxa, Notarius (Siluriformes: Ariidae)
    Zootaxa 1249: 47–59 (2006) ISSN 1175-5326 (print edition) www.mapress.com/zootaxa/ ZOOTAXA 1249 Copyright © 2006 Magnolia Press ISSN 1175-5334 (online edition) A new species of Notarius (Siluriformes: Ariidae) from the Colombian Pacific RICARDO BETANCUR-R.1 & ARTURO ACERO P.2 1Department of Biological Sciences, Auburn University, 331 Funchess Hall, Auburn, AL 36849, USA. E-mail: [email protected] 2Universidad Nacional de Colombia (Instituto de Ciencias Naturales), Cerro Punta Betín, A.A. 1016 (INVEMAR), Santa Marta, Colombia. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Notarius armbrusteri n. sp. is described from specimens purchased in the fish market of Buenaventura, Valle del Cauca, Colombia. The species is distinguished from other eastern Pacific species of Notarius by the following combination of features: mouth small, width 11.1–11.8% SL; eye large, diameter 4.3–4.9% SL; distance between anterior nostrils 6.1–6.9% SL, distance between posterior nostrils 5.9–6.9% SL; short maxillary barbels, length 20.5–22.2% SL; and gill rakers on first arch 3–4+8–9 (total 11–13). Based on mitochondrial evidence (cytochrome b and ATP synthase 8/6, total 1937 base pairs), the new species is closely related to N. insculptus, from the Pacific Panama. An updated key to identify the eight described species of Notarius from the eastern Pacific is provided. Key words: Notarius armbrusteri n. sp., Ariidae, sea catfishes, eastern Pacific Introduction The amphiamerican sea catfish genus Notarius Gill was recently revised by Betancur-R. and Acero P. (2004). Notarius includes at least 14 species, with seven distributed in the eastern Pacific (EP).
