Plans are published by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). Recovery plans do not necessarily represent the views, official positions, or approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation, other than NMFS. They represent the official position of NMFS only after they have been signed by the Assistant Administrator. ESA recovery plans are guidance and planning documents only; identification of an action to be implemented by any public or private party does not create a legal obligation beyond existing legal requirements. Nothing in this plan should be construed as a commitment or requirement that any Federal agency obligate or pay funds in any one fiscal year in excess of appropriations made by Congress for that fiscal year in contravention of the Anti-Deficiency Act, 31 U.S.C. 1341, or any other law or regulation. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new information, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery actions.

Recovery Plan Author Robert Anderson – National Marine Fisheries Service, West Coast Region, Protected Resources Division 2017 | National Marine Fisheries Service ESA Recovery Plan: Southern DPS E u l a c h o n | 7 Recovery Plan Development This recovery plan is the product of a collaborative process initiated by NMFS and strengthened through regional and local participation. The goal was to produce a Recovery Plan that would meet NMFS’ ESA requirements for recovery plans as well as broader needs. Throughout the recovery planning process, NMFS collaborated with the states of California, Oregon, and Washington, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, as well as with other Federal agencies, tribal and local governments, representatives of industry and environmental groups, other stakeholders, and the public. The collaborative process reflects NMFS’ belief that ESA recovery plans should be based on state, regional, tribal, local, and private conservation efforts already underway throughout the region. Local support of recovery plans by those whose activities directly affect the listed species, and whose actions will be most affected by recovery efforts, is essential to recovery plan implementation. NMFS developed this Recovery Plan by synthesizing the best available scientific and commercial data available with input from (1) the Eulachon Recovery Team, and (2) the Eulachon Stakeholder Group. On October 20, 2016, we released the Proposed ESA Recovery Plan for the southern DPS of Eulachon (Draft Recovery Plan), and published a notice of availability in the Federal Register (81 FR 72572) requesting comments. Four comment submissions were received during the 60-day public comments period on the Draft Recovery Plan. We considered all of the public comments received on the Draft Recovery Plan in developing the final version of the Recovery Plan. 2017 | National Marine Fisheries Service ESA Recovery Plan: Southern DPS E u l a c h o n | 8 Table of Contents Disclaimer .................................................................................................................................................. 5 Acknowledgements ................................................................................................................................... 6 Eulachon Recovery Team ........................................................................................................................... 6 Eulachon Stakeholder Group ..................................................................................................................... 6 Recovery Plan Author ................................................................................................................................ 6 Recovery Plan Development ...................................................................................................................... 7 List of Tables ........................................................................................................................................... 11 List of Figures ......................................................................................................................................... 13 Abbreviations and Acronyms ................................................................................................................ 14 Terms and Definitions ........................................................................................................................... 15 EULACHON RECOVERY PLAN—EXECUTIVE SUMMARY .................................................................... 18 Introduction ............................................................................................................................................. 18 Current Status of the DPS ........................................................................................................................ 18 Abundance and Productivity ................................................................................................................... 18 Threats and Limiting Factors ................................................................................................................... 19 Eulachon Recovery—what does recovery look like, and how will we know when we are there? ......... 20 Recovery Strategy .................................................................................................................................. 22 Priority Actions ........................................................................................................................................ 22 Near-Term Research Priorities ................................................................................................................ 23 Recovery Goal, Objectives, and Delisting Criteria ............................................................................... 24 Recovery Goal ........................................................................................................................................

Box 56, Dunedin 9054, New Zealand; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +47-481-37-867 Abstract: Free-living species often receive greater conservation attention than the parasites they support, with parasite conservation often being hindered by a lack of parasite biodiversity knowl- edge. This study aimed to determine the current state of knowledge regarding parasites of the Southern Hemisphere freshwater fish family Galaxiidae, in order to identify knowledge gaps to focus future research attention. Specifically, we assessed how galaxiid–parasite knowledge differs among geographic regions in relation to research effort (i.e., number of studies or fish individuals examined, extent of tissue examination, taxonomic resolution), in addition to ecological traits known to influ- ence parasite richness. To date, ~50% of galaxiid species have been examined for parasites, though the majority of studies have focused on single parasite taxa rather than assessing the full diversity of macro- and microparasites. The highest number of parasites were observed from Argentinean galaxiids, and studies in all geographic regions were biased towards the highly abundant and most widely distributed galaxiid species, Galaxias maculatus.

    click for previous page BONY FISHES 602 Bony Fishes GENERAL REMARKS by K.E. Carpenter, Old Dominion University, Virginia, USA ony fishes constitute the bulk, by far, of both the diversity and total landings of marine organisms encoun- Btered in fisheries of the Western Central Atlantic.They are found in all macrofaunal marine and estuarine habitats and exhibit a lavish array of adaptations to these environments. This extreme diversity of form and taxa presents an exceptional challenge for identification. There are 30 orders and 269 families of bony fishes presented in this guide, representing all families known from the area. Each order and family presents a unique suite of taxonomic problems and relevant characters. The purpose of this preliminary section on technical terms and guide to orders and families is to serve as an introduction and initial identification guide to this taxonomic diversity. It should also serve as a general reference for those features most commonly used in identification of bony fishes throughout the remaining volumes. However, I cannot begin to introduce the many facets of fish biology relevant to understanding the diversity of fishes in a few pages. For this, the reader is directed to one of the several general texts on fish biology such as the ones by Bond (1996), Moyle and Cech (1996), and Helfman et al.(1997) listed below. A general introduction to the fisheries of bony fishes in this region is given in the introduction to these volumes. Taxonomic details relevant to a specific family are explained under each of the appropriate family sections. The classification of bony fishes continues to transform as our knowledge of their evolutionary relationships improves.

This type of tail primitively results from an ontogenetic fusion of centra (bodies of vertebrae) and the possession of paired bracing bones located bilaterally along the dorsal region of the caudal skeleton, derived ontogenetically from the neural arches (uroneurals) of the ural (tail) centra.

    Evolution, 59(7), 2005, pp. 1570±1578 PHYLOGENETIC PERSPECTIVES IN THE EVOLUTION OF PARENTAL CARE IN RAY-FINNED FISHES JUDITH E. MANK,1,2 DANIEL E. L. PROMISLOW,1 AND JOHN C. AVISE1 1Department of Genetics, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia 30602 2E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Among major vertebrate groups, ray-®nned ®shes (Actinopterygii) collectively display a nearly unrivaled diversity of parental care activities. This fact, coupled with a growing body of phylogenetic data for Actinopterygii, makes these ®shes a logical model system for analyzing the evolutionary histories of alternative parental care modes and associated reproductive behaviors. From an extensive literature review, we constructed a supertree for ray-®nned ®shes and used its phylogenetic topology to investigate the evolution of several key reproductive states including type of parental care (maternal, paternal, or biparental), internal versus external fertilization, internal versus external gestation, nest construction behavior, and presence versus absence of sexual dichromatism (as an indicator of sexual selection). Using a comparative phylogenetic approach, we critically evaluate several hypotheses regarding evolutionary pathways toward parental care. Results from maximum parsimony reconstructions indicate that all forms of parental care, including paternal, biparental, and maternal (both external and internal to the female reproductive tract) have arisen repeatedly and independently during ray-®nned ®sh evolution. The most common evolutionary transitions were from external fertilization directly to paternal care and from external fertilization to maternal care via the intermediate step of internal fertilization. We also used maximum likelihood phylogenetic methods to test for statistical correlations and contingencies in the evolution of pairs of reproductive traits.
