  • Percomorph Phylogeny: a Survey of Acanthomorphs and a New Proposal
    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 52(1): 554-626, 1993 PERCOMORPH PHYLOGENY: A SURVEY OF ACANTHOMORPHS AND A NEW PROPOSAL G. David Johnson and Colin Patterson ABSTRACT The interrelationships of acanthomorph fishes are reviewed. We recognize seven mono- phyletic terminal taxa among acanthomorphs: Lampridiformes, Polymixiiformes, Paracan- thopterygii, Stephanoberyciformes, Beryciformes, Zeiformes, and a new taxon named Smeg- mamorpha. The Percomorpha, as currently constituted, are polyphyletic, and the Perciformes are probably paraphyletic. The smegmamorphs comprise five subgroups: Synbranchiformes (Synbranchoidei and Mastacembeloidei), Mugilomorpha (Mugiloidei), Elassomatidae (Elas- soma), Gasterosteiformes, and Atherinomorpha. Monophyly of Lampridiformes is justified elsewhere; we have found no new characters to substantiate the monophyly of Polymixi- iformes (which is not in doubt) or Paracanthopterygii. Stephanoberyciformes uniquely share a modification of the extrascapular, and Beryciformes a modification of the anterior part of the supraorbital and infraorbital sensory canals, here named Jakubowski's organ. Our Zei- formes excludes the Caproidae, and characters are proposed to justify the monophyly of the group in that restricted sense. The Smegmamorpha are thought to be monophyletic principally because of the configuration of the first vertebra and its intermuscular bone. Within the Smegmamorpha, the Atherinomorpha and Mugilomorpha are shown to be monophyletic elsewhere. Our Gasterosteiformes includes the syngnathoids and the Pegasiformes

  • Effects of Bottom Gillnetting on Demersal Fish Species and The
    Effects of bottom gillnetting on demersal fish species and the biology of an abundant benthic cichlid, Limnotilapia darndennei, in Kigoma Bay, Lake Tanganyika, Tanzania Student: Athanasio S.E. Mbonde, (TAFIRI)– SOTA Station, Lake Victoria Mentors: Ismael A. Kimirei and Catherine O’Reilly Introduction The fisheries of Lake Tanganyika are mainly conducted in the pelagic and littoral areas of the lake with a major target of capturing Stolothrissa tanganicae (locally known as “dagaa”) and Lates stappersi (“mgebuka”), which are of commercial importance (Kimirei et al. 2006). The pelagic fishery has, therefore, been an important fishery for traditional, artisanal and industrial fishers of the lake for quite a long time. Currently, this fishery provides 25-40% of animal protein for the population of the surrounding countries (Mölsä et al. 1999). Recent data indicated that, the pelagic fish catches are decreasing with increasing fishing pressure (Mölsä et al., 2002; Sarvala et al., 2006; Kimirei et al., 2006). The pelagic fishery of Lake Tanganyika is also threatened by climate changes (Plisnier 1997, 2000, 2004). The climate change has caused increased warming of the surface waters, increasing the stability of the water column and restricting vertical mixing. Consequently, there are reduced nutrients in the water column, reduced primary productivity and expansion of the anoxic hypolimnion (Verburg et al. 2003, O’Reilly et al, 2003). The decreasing trend in the pelagic fish catches provides a room for many fishers to invest in the demersal fishery. Unfortunately, they are investing without prior knowledge of management issues for the benthic stock. The available data show that demersal fishery/bottom gillnetting is cheaper and targets the capture of bottom dwelling fish species, especially, Limnotilapia dardennei and Benthochromis tricoti (Lowe 2006, Kalangali 2006).

ICCAT, 55(1): 292-302 (2003) PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS OF SOME PELAGIC FISH DIET IN THE EASTERN CENTRAL ATLANTIC Richard Sabatié1, Michel Potier2, Caroline Broudin3, Bernard Seret3, Frédéric Ménard4, Francis Marsac2 SUMMARY In the framework of the BETYP program, some scientists of the IRD took part to cruises on board the Japanese R/V Shoyo-Maru. Three cruises were done from October to December 2000. These cruises covered the Eastern Central Atlantic from 10° to 40°W and from 20°N to 10°S. Fish were caught with long-line and micronekton with an IKMT (Isaacs-Kidd Mid-water Trawl). 135 stomach contents and 30 tows have been analyzed. Istiophoridae and Thunnidae are opportunistic feeders, fish and crustaceans being the main components of the diet. Swordfish seem to have a more specialized diet with molluscs dominating in the northern part of the region and fish in the southern part. Lancetfish, which exhibits, like tunas and swordfish, large vertical movements, eats crustaceans and fish. In this region of the Atlantic, tuna caught with longline have a more heterogeneous diet than tuna caught with purse seine. This result could be linked to different behaviour (with emphasis on vertical movements) among the species and the size of individuals. Comparison between the diet of the pelagic predators and the catch composition of the tows is difficult, as the determination of some food items has not yet been done. Such work is still in process and will allow a better understanding of the prey-predator interactions. RÉSUMÉ Dans le cadre du programme BETYP, des scientifiques de l'IRD ont effectué trois embarquements à bord du navire de recherches japonais, le Shoyo-Maru, entre octobre et décembre 2000.

Jongkar 1Faculty of Resource Science and Technology, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak, 94300 Kota Samarahan, Sarawak, Malaysia 2Institute of Biodiversity and Environmental Conservation, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak, 94300 Kota Samarahan, Sarawak, Malaysia Abstract: This study was carried out to determine the composition and diversity of fish and crustacean fauna in Lutong River, Sarawak and length-weight relationship of major fish species caught. A total of 33 species of fish and crustacean belonging to 28 genera and 23 families were recorded from the study area. Thirty-nine percent of the number of individuals caught was from the family Ambassidae, 15% from Penaeidae, 10% from Portunidae, 8% from Mugilidae, 6% from Megalopidae, 4% from Scatophagidae and 3% from Centropomidae. Many of the individuals caught were small-sized individuals indicating the role of the river, to a certain extent as a nursery area. However, compared to other less disturbed areas such as Paloh mangrove, the number of species and families recorded in Lutong River were only 47 and 58% respectively of those recorded in Paloh mangrove likely due to the lack of abundance of food as detritus were less in Lutong River. The values of parameter b of the length-weight relationships for nine fish species ranged from 2.65-3.10 with only three species showing positive allometric growth.

    ABSTRACT VANDER PLUYM, JENNIFER LYNNE. Impact of Bridges and Culverts on Stream Fish Movement and Community Structure. (Under the direction of David B. Eggleston). This study was part of a larger, more comprehensive project assessing the effects of culvert designs on freshwater mussel habitat. Because many freshwater mussels depend on an obligate relationship with certain fish hosts to complete their life cycle as well as sole mechanism for dispersal, it is critical to identify obstacles to fish movement that, in turn, could negatively impact dispersal success of mussels. The primary goal of our study was to quantify the impact of four commonly used road crossings (bridge, arch culvert, box culvert, and pipe culvert) on stream fish abundance and diversity, as well as movement. We conducted a mark-recapture study in 16 streams located in the Piedmont region of the Cape Fear River Basin of North Carolina during the summer of 2004. Following electrofishing surveys, all fish were identified to species and measured to the nearest millimeter. Fish ≤ 30 mm total length (TL) were individually marked elastomer paint. These procedures were repeated four, eight, and 12 weeks after the initial sampling period. With the exception of species richness, all response variables: estimates of population size, species diversity, fish index of biotic integrity (FIBI), and Conditional Percent Movement (CPM) did not vary significantly with crossing type, position (upstream and downstream), or month. Downstream reaches of box culverts contained significantly higher species richness of stream fish than other crossing types. High diversity of stream fish downstream of box culverts may have been due to a scouring effect common below box and pipe culverts which results in pool formation and a possible change from benthic to pool fish species on a local level.
