Generally, in this group, the upper jaw consists of the premaxilla, maxilla, and supramaxilla. The lower jaw consists of the dentary, anguloarticular, retroarticular, and sesamoid articular. In higher taxa, the premaxilla bears ascending, articular, and postmaxillary processes. The maxilla usually bears a ventral and a dorsal articular process. The supramaxilla is present only in some taxa. The dentary is usually toothed and bears coronoid and posteroventral processes. The retroarticular is small and located at the posteroventral corner of the anguloarticular.

The obviously incomplete, as we made no attempt to collect small demersal habitat in depths of 150–400 m at the volcanic island of cryptic species (e.g. Scorpaenidae, Callionymidae, Draconettidae, Ngazidja is low in fish diversity and biomass, compared with the Percophidae, Epigonidae and Plectranthias). In addition, larger, shallow-water coral reef habitat of Ngazidja or the deep demersal elusive species (e.g. congrid and ophichthid eels and several habitats of other localities in the Indo-Pacific region.

Many people think that CITES is all about banning species in trade. In the case of Appendix II, however, this is not the case; listed species can only be exported if they are by Allen To and Anna Situ captured at sustainable levels and so CITES promotes and fosters sustainable use for vulnerable species. The first fish to be added to the local fish list is the yellowtail tang, Zebrasoma xanthurum (Family: Acanthuridae), or so called “purple tang” among aquarists (Fig. 1). This beautiful reef fish was observed by Allen To and Kiwi Lee at Hoi Ha Wan Marine Park in mid-May.

These (and compatible) methods have been used in thousands of surveys all around the world and at some locations for more than 20 years. Visual census techniques such as these provide an effective, non-destructive way to monitor species at shallow-water sites because large amounts of data on a broad range of species can be collected within a short dive period, with little post- processing time required. The broad taxonomic range covered allows detection of human impacts affecting different levels of the food web, making these methods ideal for assessing and monitoring ecological consequences of point source impacts such as pollution, oil spills, ocean warming and coral bleaching events, as well as the effectiveness of management actions such as the declaration of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), for example. 3 INTRODUCTION These survey methods were designed to maximise the collection of ecological information related to all conspicuous taxa that can be obtained during a dive with a single tank of air.

Characters from fossils have been viewed as less informative or more subjective Keywords: than comparable information from extant taxa. However, fossils are often the continuous trait evolution, character state only known representatives of many higher taxa, including some of the earliest optimization, morphological diversification, forms, and have been important in determining character polarity and filling vertebrate taphonomy morphological gaps. Here we evaluate the influence of fossils on the interpretation of character evolution by comparing estimates of ancestral body Accepted for publication: 22 July 2008 size in fishes (non-tetrapod craniates) from two large and previously unpublished datasets; a palaeontological dataset representing all principal clades from throughout the Phanerozoic, and a macroecological dataset for all 515 families of living (Recent) fishes. Ancestral size was estimated from phylogenetically based (i.e. parsimony) optimization methods. Ancestral size estimates obtained from analysis of extant fish families are five to eight times larger than estimates using fossil members of the same higher taxa.

  • March 7, 2017
    Volume 61, Issue 3 March 7, 2017 London Aquaria Society Peter DeSouza will be speaking about selective breed- ing using Killies and Bettas as examples. Neocaridina heteropoda "wild" www.planetinverts.com/ Neocaridina_Heteropoda.html Overview: The Neocaridina Heteropoda species is the wild-type invertebrate of the common Red Cherry Shrimp and Yellow Shrimp. Both of the species were selectively bred from this wild-type in order to ob- tain their solid red and solid yellow coloration. This is the original Red Cherry Shrimp and Yellow Shrimp quite simply. Background: The Neocaridina Heteropoda is found in Asia, its exact location is unknown. This wild species has been used by hobbyists to selectively breed color morphs, such as the Red Cherry Shrimp and Yel- low Shrimp. If you look closely at each of the photos you can see some coloration of either yellow or red. Se- lective breeding is done by taking the characteristics, in this case coloration, and breed the wild shrimp that ex- hibit that color over many times. Eventually a solid color is developed after several generations. This must be a very difficult task. The exact amount of generations that it took for the Red Cherry Shrimp and Yellow Shrimp to become fully colored is unknown. Water Parameters: The Neocaridina Heteropoda Shrimp can be housed in many different water pa- rameters. Just like the Red Cherry Shrimp, this species can be kept in a pH range from 6.0 to 8.0, soft and hard water, temperatures from 72F to 84F and in many different soils like ADA Aquasoil and normal gravel.

DAVID JOHNSON m I I SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 559 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.
