Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean Volume
ISBN 0-9689167-4-x Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean (Davis Strait, Southern Greenland and Flemish Cap to Cape Hatteras) Volume One Acipenseriformes through Syngnathiformes Michael P. Fahay ii Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean iii Dedication This monograph is dedicated to those highly skilled larval fish illustrators whose talents and efforts have greatly facilitated the study of fish ontogeny. The works of many of those fine illustrators grace these pages. iv Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean v Preface The contents of this monograph are a revision and update of an earlier atlas describing the eggs and larvae of western Atlantic marine fishes occurring between the Scotian Shelf and Cape Hatteras, North Carolina (Fahay, 1983). The three-fold increase in the total num- ber of species covered in the current compilation is the result of both a larger study area and a recent increase in published ontogenetic studies of fishes by many authors and students of the morphology of early stages of marine fishes. It is a tribute to the efforts of those authors that the ontogeny of greater than 70% of species known from the western North Atlantic Ocean is now well described. Michael Fahay 241 Sabino Road West Bath, Maine 04530 U.S.A. vi Acknowledgements I greatly appreciate the help provided by a number of very knowledgeable friends and colleagues dur- ing the preparation of this monograph. Jon Hare undertook a painstakingly critical review of the entire monograph, corrected omissions, inconsistencies, and errors of fact, and made suggestions which markedly improved its organization and presentation. -

604 Evolution & Ontology Symposium, Grand Ballroom I, Saturday 25 July 2009 Paula Mabee University of South Dakota, Vermillion, SD, United States Phenoscape: Using Ontologies to Link Comparative Morphology to Genes Decades of comparative anatomical studies in ichthyology and herpetology have resulted in a rich body of ‘free-text’ data. As these data grow, they are increasingly hard to align and synthesize across taxonomic groups, and synthetic questions concerning the developmental and genetic basis of evolutionary changes in morphology cannot be easily or efficiently addressed. In order for this volume of comparative anatomical data to be analyzed in a developmental genetic context, it must first be rendered computable. One way to achieve this is to use ontologies. Using ostariophysan fishes as a prototype, the Phenoscape project has developed a system that includes ontologies representing expert knowledge of anatomy and taxonomy (the Teleost Anatomy Ontology and the Teleost Taxonomy Ontology), software for data curation (Phenex), and a knowledgebase that supports ontology-based reasoning about evolutionary phenotype data (PhenoscapeKB, http://phenoscape.org/kb). To date, over 5,000 characters from the phylogenetic literature have been annotated for 8,300 species, resulting in over eight million annotated phenotypes. PhenoscapeKB combines these evolutionary phenotypes with information about genetically characterized phenotype from ZFIN, the zebrafish community database. Through ontology-based reasoning over expert knowledge in taxonomy, -

click for previous page Gadiformes: Macrouridae 977 Order GADIFORMES MACROURIDAE Grenadiers (rattails) by T. Iwamoto, California Academy of Sciences, USA iagnostic characters: Small to medium-sized (to about 110 cm in Area 31, commonly between 20 and D60 cm) with laterally compressed body and long, strap-like tail tapering to a slender point. Eye large, 20 to 40% or more of head length; snout in most species prominent, protruding; mouth small to moderately large, jaws subterminal to inferior. Jaw teeth well developed, of variable size and arrangement; no teeth on roof of mouth. Branchiostegal rays 6 or 7. Gill rakers tubercular; outer gill slit greatly restricted by opercular membrane connected to upper and lower reaches of gill arch. Two dorsal fins, the first short-based and high, with second ray spinous; second dorsal fin long-based, confluent with anal fin at end of tail; anal fin usually with much longer rays than second dorsal fin; no caudal fin; pelvic fin usually situated forward of pectoral-fin origin, 7 to 14 rays in species from Area 31.Exposed field of scales in almost all species covered with spinules; many with modified, thick, spiny scales at tip of snout and over ridges of head. Colour: variably brown, black, grey, bluish, often silvery along sides of head and body. 2nd ray spinous, st often serrated on scales 1 ray spinous, leading edge usually with small, closely spinules no caudal fin, 2nd dorsal and anal fins joined urogenital no teeth on roof anal-fin rays opening of mouth usually longer than dorsal-fin light organ in some species ventral view Habitat, biology,and fisheries: Benthopelagic fishes of continental slope and rise, in about 250 to more than 4 000 m (a few species pelagic, but none in the area). -
