Fluorescence Characterisation and Visual Ecology of Pseudocheilinid Wrasses Tobias Gerlach1*, Jennifer Theobald1, Nathan S
Gerlach et al. Frontiers in Zoology (2016) 13:13 DOI 10.1186/s12983-016-0145-1 RESEARCH Open Access Fluorescence characterisation and visual ecology of pseudocheilinid wrasses Tobias Gerlach1*, Jennifer Theobald1, Nathan S. Hart2, Shaun P. Collin2 and Nico K. Michiels1 Abstract Background: Wrasses represent the second largest family of marine fishes and display a high diversity of complex colours linked to ecological functions. Recently, red autofluorescent body colouration has been reported in some of these fishes. However, little is known about the distribution of such fluorescent body patterns in wrasses or the animals’ ability to perceive such colours. Results: Against this background, we (1) investigated long-wavelength emission autofluorescence in thirteen species of pseudocheilinid wrasses and (2) characterised the spectral absorbance of visual pigments in one of the examined species, the fairy wrasse Cirrhilabrus solorensis. Spectrophotometric analysis revealed that fluorescent body colouration is widespread and diverse within this clade, with considerable variation in both fluorescent pattern and maximum emission wavelength between species. Characterisation of visual pigments in retinal photoreceptors showed a single class of rod and three spectrally distinct cone photoreceptors, suggesting possible trichromacy. Conclusion: Combining the emission characteristics of fluorescence body colouration and the spectral sensitivity data of retinal cells suggests that the visual system of C. solorensis is sensitive to pseudocheilinid fluorescence. Keywords: Red fluorescence, Photoluminescence, Microspectrophotometry, Colour vision, Labridae Background wavelength (>600 nm) part of downwelling sunlight is Wrasses (Labridae) represent the second largest marine quickly absorbed by sea water, which is most transparent fish family, containing more than 600 species within 82 to blue light of wavelengths at around 480 nm [15–17]. -

Snapper and grouper are important fishery resources with great commercial value for exporters to major international markets. The fisheries also support the livelihoods and food security of many local, small-scale fishing communities worldwide. It is therefore all the more critical that management of these fisheries improves, thus ensuring this important resource will remain available to provide both food and income. Landings of snapper and grouper have been steadily increasing: in the 1950s, total landings were about 50,000 tonnes, but they had grown to more than 612,000 tonnes by 2013. -
Reef Fishes of the Bird's Head Peninsula, West
Check List 5(3): 587–628, 2009. ISSN: 1809-127X LISTS OF SPECIES Reef fishes of the Bird’s Head Peninsula, West Papua, Indonesia Gerald R. Allen 1 Mark V.

E-mail: [email protected] 2 Conservation International Indonesia Marine Program. Jl. Dr. Muwardi No. 17, Renon, Denpasar 80235 Indonesia. Abstract A checklist of shallow (to 60 m depth) reef fishes is provided for the Bird’s Head Peninsula region of West Papua, Indonesia. The area, which occupies the extreme western end of New Guinea, contains the world’s most diverse assemblage of coral reef fishes. The current checklist, which includes both historical records and recent survey results, includes 1,511 species in 451 genera and 111 families. Respective species totals for the three main coral reef areas – Raja Ampat Islands, Fakfak-Kaimana coast, and Cenderawasih Bay – are 1320, 995, and 877. In addition to its extraordinary species diversity, the region exhibits a remarkable level of endemism considering its relatively small area. A total of 26 species in 14 families are currently considered to be confined to the region. Introduction and finally a complex geologic past highlighted The region consisting of eastern Indonesia, East by shifting island arcs, oceanic plate collisions, Timor, Sabah, Philippines, Papua New Guinea, and widely fluctuating sea levels (Polhemus and the Solomon Islands is the global centre of 2007). reef fish diversity (Allen 2008). Approximately 2,460 species or 60 percent of the entire reef fish The Bird’s Head Peninsula and surrounding fauna of the Indo-West Pacific inhabits this waters has attracted the attention of naturalists and region, which is commonly referred to as the scientists ever since it was first visited by Coral Triangle (CT). -

Restaurant, Ballard Estate, Fort, Mumbai - 400 001, India Corresponding author: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract: Coral reefs harbour remarkable high biodiversity. Reef fishes are among the most important communities in the coral reef ecosystem, significantly contributing to ecosystem functioning and reef resilience. However, under the continuous effect of climate change and human activities, corals and reef fishes are in peril. For the first time, we documented coral reef-associated ichthyofauna from Malvan marine sanctuary (MMS) on the central west coast of India, an understudied marginal patch coral reef habitat. Experiencing severe stress due to concurrent coral bleaching, fishing, sedimentation, intensifying tourism, and coastal development activities. We reported the occurrence of 47 species of reef fishes belonging to 35 genera and 26 families from the MMS, also a list of hard corals from in the MMS, thus highlighting the biodiversity of reef building corals and reef fishes in the MMS. The coral habitat in the MMS is experiencing severe stress due to concurrent thermal coral bleaching, fishing, sedimentation, intensifying tourism, and coastal development activities. -

July 2015, 69 pp. 2 Executive Summary On July 15, 2013, NMFS received a petition to list 81 species of marine organisms as endangered or threatened species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). If an ESA petition is found to present substantial scientific or commercial information that the petitioned action may be warranted, a status review shall be promptly commenced (16 U.S.C. 1533(b)(3)(A)). NMFS determined that for 27 of the 81 species, including the island grouper (Mycteroperca fusca), the petition had sufficient merit for consideration and that a status review was warranted (79 FR 10104, February 24, 2014).
