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. -

Abstract: This study investigated the large-scale spatial and temporal variability of larval fish assemblages in the west tropical Atlantic Ocean. The sampling was performed during four expeditions. Identification resulted in 100 taxa (64 families, 19 orders and 17 suborders). During the four periods, 80% of the total larvae taken represented eight characteristics families (Scombridae, Carangidae, Paralepididae, Bothidae, Gonostomatidae, Scaridae, Gobiidae and Myctophidae). Fish larvae showed a rather heterogeneous distribution with density at each station ranging from 0.5 to 2000 larvae per 100m3. A general trend was observed, lower densities at oceanic area and higher densities in the seamounts and islands. A gradient in temperature, salinity, phytoplankton biomass, zooplankton biomass and station depth was strongly correlated with changes in ichthyoplankton structure. Myctophidae, and Paralepididae presented increased abundance at high salinities and temperatures. -

Vertical Distribution and Feeding Ecology of the Black Scraper, Thamnaconus Modestus, in the Southern Sea of Korea

Fish abundance was significantly related to the basis of depth and temperature. Thamnaconus modestus occurred at depths ranging from 80 to 120 meter waters having temperature higher than 12°C. We found that 87% of the total catch were obtained at the depths between 80 and 120 meters (58% and 29% from 80–100 and 100–120 meters respectively). The total length of captured individuals ranged from 10.6 to 38.7 cm. Individuals captured at deeper were significantly larger than those from shallower sites. Diverse prey organisms, including algae, amphipods, gastropods, ophiuroids, and cephalopods, were found in T. modestus stomach. The main prey items in IRI value belonged to four groups: hyperiid amphipods, gastropods, ophiuroids, and algae. The fish showed ontogenetic diet shifts. In general, individuals in smaller size (< 20 cm) shifted their diets from vegetative food sources to animal ones when they reach the size bigger than 20 cm. -
Parasitic Copepods of Marine Fish Cultured in Japan: a Review Kazuya Nagasawa*
Journal of Natural History, 2015 Vol. 49, Nos. 45–48, 2891–2903, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00222933.2015.1022615 Parasitic copepods of marine fish cultured in Japan: a review Kazuya Nagasawa* Graduate School of Biosphere Science, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima, Japan (Received 22 September 2014; accepted 4 February 2015; first published online 29 June 2015) This paper reviews aspects of the biology of copepods infecting marine fish commer- cially cultured at fish farms or held as broodstock at governmental hatcheries in Japan. In total, 20 species of parasitic copepods have been reported from these fish: they are mostly caligids (12 spp.), followed by lernaeopodids (4 spp.), pennellid (1 sp.), chondracanthid (1 sp.), taeniacanthid (1 sp.), and unidentified species (1 sp.). The identified copepods are: Caligus fugu, C. lagocephalus, C. lalandei, C. latigenitalis, C. longipedis, C. macarovi, C. orientalis, C. sclerotinosus, C. spinosus, Lepeophtheirus longiventralis, L. paralichthydis, L. salmonis (Caligidae); Alella macrotrachelus, Clavella parva, Parabrachiella hugu, P. seriolae (Lernaeopodidae); Peniculus minuti- caudae (Pennellidae); Acanthochondria priacanthi (Chondracanthidae); and Biacanthus pleuronichthydis (Taeniacanthidae). The fish recorded as hosts include carangids (4 spp.), sparids (2 spp.), monacanthids (2 spp.), salmonids (2 spp.), scom- brid (1 sp.), tetraodontid (1 sp.), pleuronectid (1 sp.), paralichthyid (1 sp.), and trichodontid (1 sp.). Only five species (C. orientalis, L. longiventralis, L. salmonis, C. parva and A. priacanthi) parasitize farmed fish in subarctic waters, while all other species (15 spp.) infect farmed fish in temperate waters. No information is yet avail- able on copepods from fish farmed in subtropical waters. Three species of Caligus (C. fugu, C. sclerotinosus and C. -
Marine Fishes of the Azores: an Annotated Checklist and Bibliography
MARINE FISHES OF THE AZORES: AN ANNOTATED CHECKLIST AND BIBLIOGRAPHY. RICARDO SERRÃO SANTOS, FILIPE MORA PORTEIRO & JOÃO PEDRO BARREIROS SANTOS, RICARDO SERRÃO, FILIPE MORA PORTEIRO & JOÃO PEDRO BARREIROS 1997. Marine fishes of the Azores: An annotated checklist and bibliography. Arquipélago. Life and Marine Sciences Supplement 1: xxiii + 242pp. Ponta Delgada. ISSN 0873-4704. ISBN 972-9340-92-7. A list of the marine fishes of the Azores is presented. The list is based on a review of the literature combined with an examination of selected specimens available from collections of Azorean fishes deposited in museums, including the collection of fish at the Department of Oceanography and Fisheries of the University of the Azores (Horta). Personal information collected over several years is also incorporated. The geographic area considered is the Economic Exclusive Zone of the Azores. The list is organised in Classes, Orders and Families according to Nelson (1994). The scientific names are, for the most part, those used in Fishes of the North-eastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean (FNAM) (Whitehead et al. 1989), and they are organised in alphabetical order within the families. Clofnam numbers (see Hureau & Monod 1979) are included for reference. Information is given if the species is not cited for the Azores in FNAM. Whenever available, vernacular names are presented, both in Portuguese (Azorean names) and in English. Synonyms, misspellings and misidentifications found in the literature in reference to the occurrence of species in the Azores are also quoted. The 460 species listed, belong to 142 families; 12 species are cited for the first time for the Azores. -
On the Species of the Genus Balistes Described by Johann Julius Walbaum (1792)
ON THE SPECIES OF THE GENUS BALISTES DESCRIBED BY JOHANN JULIUS WALBAUM (1792) by Paolo PARENTI (1) ABSTRACT. - The status of six nominal species placed in the genus Balistes by Johann J. Walbaum (1792) is reported. Balistes longirostris and B. meulenii are shown to be senior synonyms of Oxymonacanthus longirostris (Bloch & Schneider, 1801) and Cantherines fronticinctus (Günther, 1867), respectively. Conditions exist, however, that allow “pre- vailing usage” of the latter names, as provided by Article 23.9.1 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Balistes auwawa, B. barbatus and B. talpa are shown to be junior synonyms of Aluterus monoceros (Linnaeus, 1758), whereas B. capriscus is a junior homonym of B. capriscus Gmelin, 1789 and therefore objectively invalid. RÉSUMÉ. - Sur les espèces du genre Balistes décrites par Johann Julius Walbaum (1792). Le statut de six taxons nominaux placés parmi le genre Balistes par Johann J. Walbaum (1792) a été déterminé. Balistes longirostris et B. meulenii sont des synonymes seniors d’Oxymonacanthus longirostris (Bloch & Schneider, 1801) et de Cantherines fronticinctus (Günther, 1867), respectivement. Toutefois, les conditions existent pour maintenir l’usage prédominant de ces derniers, d’après l’Article 23.9.1 du Code International de Nomenclature Zoologique. B. auwawa, B. barbatus et B. talpa sont tous des synonymes juniors d’Aluterus monoceros (Linnaeus, 1758), tandis que B. capriscus est un homonyme junior de B. capriscus Gmelin, 1789 et, pour cette raison, non valide.
