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. -

The study of the Portuguese marine ichthyofauna has a long historical tradition, rooted back in the 18th Century. Here we present an annotated checklist of the marine fishes from Portuguese waters, including the area encompassed by the proposed extension of the Portuguese continental shelf and the Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ). The list is based on historical literature records and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history collections, together with new revisions and occurrences. -

Headed Whales (Peponocephala Electra) in Hawaiian Waters
Notes MARINE MAMMAL SCIENCE, 00(00): 00–00 (Month 2018) VC 2018 Society for Marine Mammalogy DOI: 10.1111/mms.12507 Stomach contents and diel diving behavior of melon-headed whales (Peponocephala electra) in Hawaiian waters 1 KRISTI L. WEST, Department of Human Nutrition, Food and Animal Science, College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources, Agricultural Sciences 216, 1955 East-West Road, University of Hawai‘i at Manoa, Honolulu, Hawai‘i 96822, U.S.A.; WILLIAM A. WALKER, Marine Mammal Laboratory, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, 7600 Sand Point Way N.E., Seattle, Washington 98115, U.S.A.; ROBIN W. BAIRD,DANIEL L. WEBSTER, and GREGORY S. SCHORR, Cascadia Research Collective, 218 1=2 W. 4th Avenue, Olympia, Washington 98501, U.S.A. Knowledge of the diet and diving behavior of a species is crucial for understand- ing its behavior and ecology, and also has relevance to assessing the impact of poten- tial changes in behavior or spatial use. Assessing diet for many species of cetaceans is difficult, given that most foraging occurs far below the surface and that stomach contents of stranded animals are rarely available. Very little information on food habits or the diving behavior of melon-headed whales (Peponocephala electra)isavail- able from any region of the world. Although there is a paucity of knowledge on melon-headed whales, more is known about them in Hawaiian waters than anywhere else in the world (Aschettino et al. 2012, Woodworth et al. 2012, Baird 2016). In Hawai‘i, two populations of melon-headed whales are recognized, a Hawaiian Islands population estimated to be close to 5,000 individuals that travels offshore and among the islands, and a smaller, inshore population estimated to be about 450 individuals that is found off Hawai‘i Island and known as the Kohala resident population (Aschettino 2010, Aschettino et al. -
Marine Fishes of the Azores: an Annotated Checklist and Bibliography
MARINE FISHES OF THE AZORES: AN ANNOTATED CHECKLIST AND BIBLIOGRAPHY. RICARDO SERRÃO SANTOS, FILIPE MORA PORTEIRO & JOÃO PEDRO BARREIROS SANTOS, RICARDO SERRÃO, FILIPE MORA PORTEIRO & JOÃO PEDRO BARREIROS 1997. Marine fishes of the Azores: An annotated checklist and bibliography. Arquipélago. Life and Marine Sciences Supplement 1: xxiii + 242pp. Ponta Delgada. ISSN 0873-4704. ISBN 972-9340-92-7. A list of the marine fishes of the Azores is presented. The list is based on a review of the literature combined with an examination of selected specimens available from collections of Azorean fishes deposited in museums, including the collection of fish at the Department of Oceanography and Fisheries of the University of the Azores (Horta). Personal information collected over several years is also incorporated. The geographic area considered is the Economic Exclusive Zone of the Azores. The list is organised in Classes, Orders and Families according to Nelson (1994). The scientific names are, for the most part, those used in Fishes of the North-eastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean (FNAM) (Whitehead et al. 1989), and they are organised in alphabetical order within the families. Clofnam numbers (see Hureau & Monod 1979) are included for reference. Information is given if the species is not cited for the Azores in FNAM. Whenever available, vernacular names are presented, both in Portuguese (Azorean names) and in English. Synonyms, misspellings and misidentifications found in the literature in reference to the occurrence of species in the Azores are also quoted. The 460 species listed, belong to 142 families; 12 species are cited for the first time for the Azores. -

Summary : Mesopelagic fishes experience an extreme body transformation from larvae to adults. The identification of the larval stages of fishes from the two orders Myctophiformes and Stomiiformes is currently based on the comparison of morphological, pigmentary and meristic characteristics of different developmental stages. However, no molecular evidence to confirm the identity of the larvae of these mesopelagic species is available so far. Since DNA barcoding emerged as an accurate procedure for species discrimination and larval identification, we have used the cytochrome c oxidase 1 or the mitochondrial 12S ribosomal DNA regions to identify larvae and adults of the most frequent and abundant species of myct - ophiforms (family Myctophidae) and stomiiforms (families Gonostomatidae, Sternoptychidae and Phosichthyidae) from the Mediterranean Sea. The comparisons of sequences from larval and adult stages corroborated the value of the morphological characters that were used for taxonomic classification. The combination of the sequences obtained in this study and those of related species from GenBank was used to discuss the consistency of monophyletic clades for different genera. -

Ommastrephidae 199
click for previous page Decapodiformes: Ommastrephidae 199 OMMASTREPHIDAE Flying squids iagnostic characters: Medium- to Dlarge-sized squids. Funnel locking appara- tus with a T-shaped groove. Paralarvae with fused tentacles. Arms with biserial suckers. Four rows of suckers on tentacular clubs (club dactylus with 8 sucker series in Illex). Hooks never present hooks never on arms or clubs. One of the ventral pair of arms present usually hectocotylized in males. Buccal connec- tives attach to dorsal borders of ventral arms. Gladius distinctive, slender. funnel locking apparatus with Habitat, biology, and fisheries: Oceanic and T-shaped groove neritic. This is one of the most widely distributed and conspicuous families of squids in the world. Most species are exploited commercially. Todarodes pacificus makes up the bulk of the squid landings in Japan (up to 600 000 t annually) and may comprise at least 1/2 the annual world catch of cephalopods.In various parts of the West- ern Central Atlantic, 6 species of ommastrephids currently are fished commercially or for bait, or have a potential for exploitation. Ommastrephids are powerful swimmers and some species form large schools. Some neritic species exhibit strong seasonal migrations, wherein they occur in huge numbers in inshore waters where they are accessable to fisheries activities. The large size of most species (commonly 30 to 50 cm total length and up to 120 cm total length) and the heavily mus- cled structure, make them ideal for human con- ventral view sumption. Similar families occurring in the area Onychoteuthidae: tentacular clubs with claw-like hooks; funnel locking apparatus a simple, straight groove.
