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.

Wilson1, J. Zhang3,15 and N. J. Bax2,16 Abstract Background: Our knowledge of the benthic fauna at lower bathyal to abyssal (LBA, > 2000 m) depths off Eastern Australia was very limited with only a few samples having been collected from these habitats over the last 150 years. In May–June 2017, the IN2017_V03 expedition of the RV Investigator sampled LBA benthic communities along the lower slope and abyss of Australia’s eastern margin from off mid-Tasmania (42°S) to the Coral Sea (23°S), with particular emphasis on describing and analysing patterns of biodiversity that occur within a newly declared network of offshore marine parks. Methods: The study design was to deploy a 4 m (metal) beam trawl and Brenke sled to collect samples on soft sediment substrata at the target seafloor depths of 2500 and 4000 m at every 1.5 degrees of latitude along the western boundary of the Tasman Sea from 42° to 23°S, traversing seven Australian Marine Parks.

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Underwater hyperspectral imaging as an in situ taxonomic tool for deep-sea megafauna Received: 5 March 2018 Ines Dumke 1,6, Autun Purser2, Yann Marcon 2,3, Stein M. Nornes 1, Geir Johnsen4,5, Accepted: 24 July 2018 Martin Ludvigsen1,5 & Fredrik Søreide1 Published: xx xx xxxx Identifcation of benthic megafauna is commonly based on analysis of physical samples or imagery acquired by cameras mounted on underwater platforms. Physical collection of samples is difcult, particularly from the deep sea, and identifcation of taxonomic morphotypes from imagery depends on resolution and investigator experience. Here, we show how an Underwater Hyperspectral Imager (UHI) can be used as an alternative in situ taxonomic tool for benthic megafauna. A UHI provides a much higher spectral resolution than standard RGB imagery, allowing marine organisms to be identifed based on specifc optical fngerprints. A set of reference spectra from identifed organisms is established and supervised classifcation performed to identify benthic megafauna semi-autonomously. The UHI data provide an increased detection rate for small megafauna difcult to resolve in standard RGB imagery. In addition, seafoor anomalies with distinct spectral signatures are also detectable. In the region investigated, sediment anomalies (spectral refectance minimum at ~675 nm) unclear in RGB imagery were indicative of chlorophyll a on the seafoor. Underwater hyperspectral imaging therefore has a great potential in seafoor habitat mapping and monitoring, with areas of application ranging from shallow coastal areas to the deep sea. Traditionally, assessment of the megafauna inhabiting a region of deep-sea seafoor has been determined either from direct, invasive physical sampling using box corer, trawl1,2 or Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs)3–5, or by remotely imaging the seafoor with video or still camera systems mounted on towed platforms6–8, ROVs3,9–11 or Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs)12.

Nilsson The Oxford Animal Biology Series publishes attractive supplementary text- books in comparative animal biology for students and professional research- ers in the biological sciences, adopting a lively, integrated approach. The series has two distinguishing features: first, book topics address common themes that transcend taxonomy, and are illustrated with examples from throughout the animal kingdom; and second, chapter contents are chosen to match existing and proposed courses and syllabuses, carefully taking into account the depth of coverage required. Further reading sections, consisting mainly of review articles and books, guide the reader into the more detailed research literature. The Series is international in scope, both in terms of the species used as examples and in the references to scientific work.
