Snapper and grouper are important fishery resources with great commercial value for exporters to major international markets. The fisheries also support the livelihoods and food security of many local, small-scale fishing communities worldwide. It is therefore all the more critical that management of these fisheries improves, thus ensuring this important resource will remain available to provide both food and income. Landings of snapper and grouper have been steadily increasing: in the 1950s, total landings were about 50,000 tonnes, but they had grown to more than 612,000 tonnes by 2013. -
Highways Byways
Highways AND Byways THE ORIGIN OF TOWNSVILLE STREET NAMES Compiled by John Mathew Townsville Library Service 1995 Revised edition 2008 Acknowledgements Australian War Memorial John Oxley Library Queensland Archives Lands Department James Cook University Library Family History Library Townsville City Council, Planning and Development Services Front Cover Photograph Queensland 1897. Flinders Street Townsville Local History Collection, Citilibraries Townsville Copyright Townsville Library Service 2008 ISBN 0 9578987 54 Page 2 Introduction How many visitors to our City have seen a street sign bearing their family name and wondered who the street was named after? How many students have come to the Library seeking the origin of their street or suburb name? We at the Townsville Library Service were not always able to find the answers and so the idea for Highways and Byways was born. Mr. John Mathew, local historian, retired Town Planner and long time Library supporter, was pressed into service to carry out the research. Since 1988 he has been steadily following leads, discarding red herrings and confirming how our streets got their names. Some remain a mystery and we would love to hear from anyone who has information to share. Where did your street get its name? Originally streets were named by the Council to honour a public figure. As the City grew, street names were and are proposed by developers, checked for duplication and approved by Department of Planning and Development Services. Many suburbs have a theme. For example the City and North Ward areas celebrate famous explorers. The streets of Hyde Park and part of Gulliver are named after London streets and English cities and counties. -

DBA Day Dream (Received 20 October 2015; Accepted 26 July 2016) Jiro Sakaue, Hiroshi Akino, Manabu Endo, Hitoshi Ida, and Takashi Asahida (2016) Two species of Lutjanidae, Symphorichthys spilurus and Lutjanus bohar, form spawning aggregation, a large school specifically formed for reproduction. Although they share the same spawning site at the southernmost reef in Peleliu Island, Palau, timing of spawning and their behaviors in the spawning and resting sites differ. Although the spawning behaviors have reported previously, long term and integrated observations documenting the size of the aggregation, exact spawning duration and timing, detailed behavioral profiles, as well as oceanic conditions upon spawning have never been reported. Here, we conducted a comparative study for these species and found behavioral and environmental cues that might be key to differentiate their ecological characteristics. S. spilurus begun to aggregate at full moon. Aggregations of L. bohar on the other hand, started from four days before full moon. Size of the aggregation was > 50,000 in S. spilurus, but about 7,000 in L. bohar. Both species migrated from the resting area to the spawning site in a diel rhythm. S. spilurus started spawning every half- moon, between the full moon and the new moon, while L. bohar spawns on every full moon. -
Reef Fishes of the Bird's Head Peninsula, West Papua, Indonesia

E-mail: [email protected] 2 Conservation International Indonesia Marine Program. Jl. Dr. Muwardi No. 17, Renon, Denpasar 80235 Indonesia. Abstract A checklist of shallow (to 60 m depth) reef fishes is provided for the Bird’s Head Peninsula region of West Papua, Indonesia. The area, which occupies the extreme western end of New Guinea, contains the world’s most diverse assemblage of coral reef fishes. The current checklist, which includes both historical records and recent survey results, includes 1,511 species in 451 genera and 111 families. Respective species totals for the three main coral reef areas – Raja Ampat Islands, Fakfak-Kaimana coast, and Cenderawasih Bay – are 1320, 995, and 877. In addition to its extraordinary species diversity, the region exhibits a remarkable level of endemism considering its relatively small area. A total of 26 species in 14 families are currently considered to be confined to the region. Introduction and finally a complex geologic past highlighted The region consisting of eastern Indonesia, East by shifting island arcs, oceanic plate collisions, Timor, Sabah, Philippines, Papua New Guinea, and widely fluctuating sea levels (Polhemus and the Solomon Islands is the global centre of 2007). reef fish diversity (Allen 2008).

1 RED SNAPPER – Lutjanus Spp. Depending on Language And
RED SNAPPER – Lutjanus spp. Depending on language and location, the name Red Snapper applies to a number of fish species across the globe within the Lutjanidae family, and refers to those snappers that exhibit a red coloration as adults. Species falling under the title “red snapper” include: • Lutjanus campechanus (Northern red snapper; found in the Western Atlantic from the Gulf of Mexico and southeastern USA to the northern coast of South America) • Lutjanus argentimaculatus (Mangrove red snapper; found in the Indo-West Pacific from East Africa to Southeast Asia and south to the northern coasts of Australia) • Lutjanus purpureus (Southern red snapper; found in the Caribbean Sea to the northeast coast of South America) • Lutjanus buccanella (Blackfin snapper; found in the Western Atlantic from the Gulf of Mexico and southeastern USA to the northern coast of South America) • Lutjanus bohar (Two-spot red snapper; found in the Indo-Pacific from East Africa to the Pacific islands south to Australia. • Lutjanus erhrytropterus (Crimson red snapper; found in the Western Pacific and Indian Oceans, from the Gulf of Oman to Japan and northern Australia) • Lutjanus malabaricus (Malabar blood snapper; found in the Western Pacific, where it is found east to Fiji and Japan, and Indian Ocean, where it occurs west to the Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea). Snappers are an extremely important fishery resource in the geographies where they are found, contributing to production for both local consumption as well as export markets. Red snappers are one of the most valuable and widely recognized members among the Lutjanidae, although the common name “red snapper” pertains to, and are sometimes used indistinctively for, several distinct species. -

The species is characterized by the presence of spherical xenomas (ca. 2−5 mm in diameter) in the host body cavity. Examination of the lifecycle stages and mature spores using light and transmission electron microscopy also revealed morphological characteristics typical of species of the genus Glugea. Spores were elon- gated-ovoid with a posterior vacuole surrounded by the polar filament coils. Mature spores were 4.5 (4.0−4.8) µm long and 2.5 (2.0−2.5) µm wide. The polar filament was isofilar with 28 to 30 coils, although in most cases 29 coils, organized in 3 rows. Phylogenetic study based on the partial sequence of the small subunit (SSU) rRNA gene clustered the new microsporidia within the clade grouping species of the genus Glugea.
