Editorial note on reproductive biology of fishes. Acta Ichthyol. Piscat. 43 (1): 1–5. Abstract. Fish reproductive biology (onset and duration of spawning, sex ratio, maturity stages, length and age at maturity, and fecundity) is important in fisheries research, stock assessment, and management. In this editori - al note, we provide some criteria and recommendations on issues of fish reproductive biology, which may be use - ful in research planning, data analysis and presentation, as well as in manuscript preparation . The population characteristics of fishes, and in partic - rity, sex ratio, and fecundity should all be included in ular those concerning their reproduction, are very impor - a single manuscript, since all these aspects constitute the tant inputs in the assessment and management of fish reproductive biology of a species.

INTRODUCTION Research on the sea fauna along the coasts of Turkey was initiated by foreign researchers at the begining of the 20th century and entered an intensive stage with Turkish researchers in the 1940s. However, the fish fauna of Turkish seas has still not been fully determined. Of these researchers, Tortonese (1) listed 300 species. Papaconstantinou and Tsimenids (2) listed 33 species. Papaconstantinou (3) listed the most of 447 species for Aegean Sea. Slastenenko (4) listed 200 species for Sea of Marmara and 189 species for Black Sea. Tortonese (1) reported 540 fish species in whole of Mediterranean. Demetropoulos and Neocleous (5) gave a list of fishes for Cyprus area.

The South China Sea is a major water body containing a large and diverse fish fauna. However, many areas of the South China Sea, particularly in Malaysia and Vietnam, have been poorly studied in terms of fish taxonomy and diversity. Local fish scientists and students have frequently faced difficulty when try- ing to identify fishes in their home countries.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A very rare bandfish, Sphenanthias whiteheadi Talwar 1973, is re-discovered and described from the southwest and south- east coasts of India for the first time after its original description and the rarity of the fish is challenged. A mitochondrial COI barcode sequence was generated for the specimen. Key words: Sphenanthias whiteheadi, Cepolidae, India Introduction The bandfishes of the family Cepolidae (Perciformes) are known from all tropical and subtropical waters and com- prise 22 valid species in 4 genera worldwide (Eschmeyer & Fong, 2011). Members of the genus Sphenanthias can be differentiated from the similar Owstonia in having lateral lines separate and not forming loops in front of dorsal fins (Smith Vaniz, 2001; Liao et al., 2009). The genus Sphenanthias is represented by only one valid species in the Arabian Sea (Manilo & Bogorodsky, 2003), Sphenanthias whiteheadi described by Talwar from four specimens collected from southwest coast of India off Quilon at 300 m (Talwar, 1973).

    Supplementary Material Figure S1 Mean normalised coastal larval fish abundance among sampling projects from the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) Larval Fish Database (Smith et al., 2018). As projects were discrete periods of time, this also shows a relative stability in coastal larval abundance through time. Projects include two RV Franklin voyages (1994 & 1998), One voyage on the RV Kamala (1989-1990), two voyages on the RV Southern Surveyor (2004, 2010), one voyage on the RV Investigator (2015) and the ongoing IMOS Larval Fish monitoring program (shown as NIMO_NRS; 2014 – 2016). Figure S2 Temporal trends in total annual catch (‘000 kg) for four species from caught in gillnet fisheries on eight estuaries from July 1997 to June 2007. Note the varying scale on the y-axis. Figure S3 Temporal trends in total annual fishing effort (days) for gillnet fisheries on eight estuaries from July 1997 to June 2007. Note the log10 y-axis.

  • Hunter-Central Rivers, New South Wales
    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Guide to Users Background What is the summary for and where does it come from? This summary has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. It highlights important elements of the biodiversity of the region in two ways: • Listing species which may be significant for management because they are found only in the region, mainly in the region, or they have a conservation status such as endangered or vulnerable. • Comparing the region to other parts of Australia in terms of the composition and distribution of its species, to suggest components of its biodiversity which may be nationally significant. The summary was produced using the Australian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. The list of families covered in ANHAT is shown in Appendix 1. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are are not not included included in the in the summary. • The data used for this summary come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect.

INTRODUCTION The classification of fishes is not straightforward since they do not form a natural scientific grouping like the other vertebrate classes, i.e. the amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. Indeed, fishes can be considered by exclusion to be vertebrates that are not tetrapods (see Chapter 25: Introduction to Vertebrates). They are aquatic, gill- bearing, ectothermic ('cold-blooded') animals with a distinguishable head and, when present, digit-less limbs. Traditionally, fish have been arranged into three groups: ➵ Agnatha 1, the jawless fish (Myxini [hagfishes] and Hyperoartia [lampreys]); ➵ Chondrichthyes, the cartilaginous fish (sharks, skates and rays); ➵ Osteichthyes, the bony fish (Actinopterygii [ray-finned fishes] and Sarcopterygii [lobe-finned fishes]). This classification is adequate for general purposes, although Agnatha is paraphyletic and includes several groups of extinct jawless fishes.
