GUNN Division of Fisheries, CSIRO Marine Laboratories, P.O. Box 1538, Hobart, 7001 Tas., Australia ABSTRACT. An annotated list of the 63 species in 23 genera of carangid fishes known from Australian waters is presented. Included in these 63 are eight endemic species, eight new Australian records (Alepes vari, Carangoides equula, C. plagiotaenia, C. talamparoides, Caranx lugubris, Decapterus kurroides, D. tabl and Seriola rivoliana) and a new species in the genus Alepes. A generic key and specific keys to Alectis, Alepes, Carangoides, Scomberoides, Selar, Ulua and Uraspis are given. The systematics of the 32 Australian species of Alectis, Alepes, Atule, Carangoides, "Caranx", Elagatis, Gnathanodon,Megalaspis,Pantolabus, Scomberoides, Selar, Selaroides, Seriolina, Ulua and Uraspis are covered in detail. For each species a recommended common name, other common names, Australian secondary synonymy, diagnosis, colour notes, description, comparison with other species, maximum recorded size, ecological notes and distribution are given.

  • African Pompano Ceviche
    Florida Seafood at Your Fingertips: Live! Michael Sipos, Collier County Agent [email protected], 239-252-4825 Date of recording African Pompano Ceviche What you will need: 1-1½ lbs African pompano (most white flesh seafood could be used as a substitute) ¾-1 cup lime juice (approximately 6-8 limes) ¼ red onion ¼ sweet yellow onion ½-1 jalapeno pepper 1/3 cup cilantro 3 cloves of garlic 1 avocado ½ cucumber 1 tablespoon olive oil ¼ teaspoon black pepper 1 ½ teaspoon Kosher salt A sprinkle of paprika Difficulty of recipe: Simple Total time to make: 30 minutes preparation, 45 minutes – 3 hours of “cook” time Disclaimer: This dish is “cooked” chemically through the denaturation of protein that occurs when seafood is exposed to the low pH conditions of lime juice. There are certain microbial and parasitic risks when consuming sashimi or ceviche. When consuming potentially raw seafood, the FDA recommends freezing the flesh at -4 F for 7 days prior to preparing to minimize the risk of consuming active parasites. Although these dishes are delicious, special consideration should be taken by at risk health groups if enjoying “raw” seafood. Recipe instructions: 1. Quarter the red and yellow onion and chop to a rough diced texture. 2. Chop cilantro to get approximately 1/3 cup volume with little to no compression. 3. Peel and mince 3 cloves of garlic. 4. Mince ½-1 whole jalapeno pepper depending on desired level of heat. Removing the seeds from the pepper can also greatly reduce the amount of spice tasted in the dish. 5. Halve 1 avocado, scoop the flesh from the skin and cut into a cube like consistency.

  • Perciformes Suborder Percoidei – Carangidae Twenty–Five Species in 13 Genera of the Family Carangidae Occur in the Present Study Area, Either As Adults Or As Larvae
    1038 Perciformes Suborder Percoidei – Carangidae Twenty–five species in 13 genera of the family Carangidae occur in the present study area, either as adults or as larvae. The family is distributed worldwide, mostly in tropical and warm temperate waters, and larvae are both more speciose, and more abundant, in waters south of Cape Hatteras. Larvae are reasonably well-described, but the eggs of most species are undescribed. Carangid classification used here follows Smith-Vaniz (1984) and Larocheet al. (1984). A detailed summary of carangid larval characters prepared by Laroche et al. (2006) provided much of the information presented below. That report, and the report by Watson et al. (1996) should be consulted for more critical detail regarding carangid larvae from the tropical western Atlantic and the Eastern Pacific oceans, respectively. Meristic characters: See table of meristic characters in the Introduction to the suborder Percoidei, and the ranges of selected characters in the family Carangidae in the Perciformes Introduction. Meristic characters are fairly conservative in the family, but combinations of all counts are helpful in identifying species. For example, see figures demonstrating distributions of fin rays for species in the genusCaranx (after Berry, 1959a) on "Caranx" Introduction page. Head spines: The characters of 3 head spines are important in carangid larvae: the Supraoccipital Crest (present or ab- sent); the spine at the angle of Preopercle (simple, serrate or secondarily ornamented); and the Supraocular Ridge (composed of a small spine, a serrate ridge, or prominent spines). Other head spines that occur in only a few taxa include the Posttemporal, Supracleithral, Pterotic, and smaller spines along the ascending and anterior limbs of the Preopercle.

  • New Records of Fish Parasitic Isopods (Crustacea: Isopoda) from the Gulf of Thailand
    animals Article New Records of Fish Parasitic Isopods (Crustacea: Isopoda) from the Gulf of Thailand Watchariya Purivirojkul * and Apiruedee Songsuk Animal Systematics and Ecology Speciality Research Unit, Department of Zoology, Faculty of Science, Kasetsart University, Bangkok 10900, Thailand; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 5 November 2020; Accepted: 2 December 2020; Published: 4 December 2020 Simple Summary: Parasitic isopods were reported found from marine fishes from many habitat in the world. In Thailand, there is not much study on this parasitic group. This work has compiled all published parasitic isopods documents in Thailand from year 1950 to present include collecting samples from the Gulf of Thailand during the period 2006–2019. New host records were found from four species of parasitic isopods (Cymothoa eremita, Smenispa irregularis, Nerocila sundaica, Norileca triangulata) and two species of parasitic isopods (Argathona macronema, Norileca triangulata) were found first time in the central Indo-Pacific region. Abstract: From a total of 4140 marine fishes examined, eight species of parasitic isopods were reported from marine fishes in the Gulf of Thailand. These isopods were identified in two families, Corallanidae (Argathona macronema and Argathona rhinoceros) and Cymothoidae (Cymothoa eremita, Cymothoa elegans, Smenispa irregularis, Nerocila sundaica, Norileca indica and Norileca triangulata). Most of these parasitic isopods were found in the buccal cavity of their fish hosts with one host recorded as follows: C. eremita was found from Nemipterus hexodon, C. elegans was found from Scatophagus argus, N. sundaica was found from Saurida tumbil. The majority of the isopod specimens recorded in this study was S.
