Chabanaud 360.Indd French-English glossary of terms found in Chabanaud’s published works on Pleuronectiformes by Bruno CHANET (1) & Martine DESOUTTER-MENIGER (2) ABSTRact. - Paul Chabanaud was a French researcher working on the systematics of flatfishes, but he wrote his results and analyses in a way that is not easy to understand for a reader of the 21st century. In this glossary, we have defined and translated his anatomical terms into modern French and English in order to help researchers interested in his studies. The purpose of this glossary is to make Paul Chabanaud’s works available and readable to a larger audience. RÉSUMÉ. - Glossaire français-anglais des termes trouvés dans les études publiées par Chabanaud sur les Pleuronectifor- mes. Paul Chabanaud était un chercheur français ayant travaillé sur la systématique des poissons plats, mais il écrivit ses résultats et ses analyses dans un style difficile à comprendre pour un lecteur du XXI e siècle. Dans ce glossaire, les termes anatomiques français définis et utilisés par Chabanaud sont traduits dans un français et un anglais plus modernes. pour aider nos collègues à utiliser les travaux de Paul Chabanaud. Le but de ce glossaire est de rendre disponibles et lisibles les travaux de Paul Chabanaud pour nos collègues ichtyologistes. Key words. - Flatfishes - Chabanaud - Glossary. “Le complexe uroptérygiophore est épaxonalement diplospondylique et hypaxonalement triplospondylique.” Chabanaud (1938d: 211). Paul Chabanaud (1876-1959) (Fig. 1) was a French researcher who devoted most of his career to the study of the anatomy and systematics of the flatfishes, Order Pleuronecti- formes. He wrote numerous works (165 notes, articles, and books on flatfishes from 1925 to 1959, and 6 articles pub- lished posthumously) and he has described, redescribed, and named 73 species and subspecies of flatfishes. He detailed the anatomy of flatfishes, both fossil and recent, and wrote several works on the systematic relationships of genera and families of flatfishes. Given the importance of previously published literature in regard to species descriptions and anatomical treatises, Chabanaud’s works will continue to be important to generations of flatfish systematists. Unfortu- nately, all his contributions are written in an idiosyncratic and wordy old-French style, which is extremely difficult to understand. He did not hesitate to create new descriptive anatomical terms, which often evolved or changed over the Figure 1. - Paul Chabanaud (1876-1959) (in Dollfus [1960: 61]). years in his subsequent writings, to provide what he believed to be a clearer description of his observations (Dollfus, 1960; Chanet and Desoutter, 2001). For example, he used his own terms were correct from a purely linguistic perspective, but terms for the fins: thoracoptérygie for pectoral fin, notop- most ichthyologists today do not read Latin or Greek and térygie for dorsal fin, proctoptérygie for anal fin.

  • Early Ontogeny and Systematics of Bothidae, Pleuronectoidei
    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 60(1): 192-212,1997 EARLY ONTOGENY AND SYSTEMATICS OF BOTHIDAE, PLEURONECTOIDEI Atsushi Fukui ABSTRACT Of the 20 bothid genera, larvae of the following 16 genera are presently known: Taeniop- settinae, (1) Taeniopsella, (2) Engyophrys, (3) Trichopsetta; Bothinae, (4) Parabothus, (5) Tosarhombus, (6) Crossorhombus, (7) Engyprosopon, (8) Bothus, (9) Grammatobothus, (10) Asterorhombus, (11) Psellina, (12) Lophonectes, (13) Arnoglossus, (14) Monolene, (15) Laeops, (16) Chascanopsetta, This study reviews the early ontogeny and systematics of bothids of the world. A cladistic analysis of 16 characters results in 25 equally parsimonious trees. A strict consensus tree for these 25 trees is shown. It has resolved two monophyletic groups and unresolved polytomy at basal nodes. The two monophyletic groups indicate that (1) Asterorhombu,\' and Engyprosopon except sp.2 of the subfamily Bothinae are sister group for the subfamily Taeniopsettinae, (2) Arnoglossus and Engyprosopon is not monophyletic, and (3) Taeniopsetta, Engyophrys, and Trichopsetta of the subfamily Taeniopsettinae are monophyletic. Fishes of the family Bothidae, suborder Pleuronectoidei, are very diverse, being comprised of 20 genera in two subfamilies, four in Taeniopsettinae and 16 in Bothinae (Amaoka, 1969; Ahlstrom et aI., 1984), The larvae of this family have a transparent, extremely compressed, body. The dorsal fin begins anterior to the eye, its second ray being elongated. The pelagic larvae are the largest among the pleuronectoid fishes, e.g., Chascanopsetta lu- gubris with 120-mm larvae, Many studies have been made on bothid larvae, e.g" Amaoka (1964, 1970, 1971a, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1976), Futch (1977), and Hensley (1977).

It was rarely studied due to its low abundance and cryptical lifestyle. In order to understand the mitochondrial genome and the phylogeny in Cynoglossidae, the complete mitogenome of C. monopus has been sequenced and analyzed for the first time. The total length is 16,425 bp, typically containing 37 genes with novel gene rearrangements. The tRNA-Gln gene is inverted from the light to the heavy strand and translocated from the downstream of tRNA-Ile gene to its upstream. The control region (CR) translocated downstream to the 3’-end of ND1 gene adjoining to inverted to tRNA-Gln and left a 24 bp trace fragment in the original position. The phylogenetic trees were reconstructed by Bayesian inference (BI) and maximum likelihood (ML) methods based on the mitogenomic data of 32 tonguefish species and two outgroups.

The situation is most critical for a large clade of spiny-finned fishes, traditionally referred to as percomorphs, whose uncertain relationships have plagued ichthyologists for over a century.

  • Evidence for a Robertsonian Fusion in Solea Senegalensis (Kaup, 1858) Revealed by Zoo- FISH and Comparative Genome Analysis Aglaya García-Angulo1, Manuel A
    García-Angulo et al. BMC Genomics (2018) 19:818 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-018-5216-6 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Evidence for a Robertsonian fusion in Solea senegalensis (Kaup, 1858) revealed by zoo- FISH and comparative genome analysis Aglaya García-Angulo1, Manuel A. Merlo1, Silvia Portela-Bens1, María E. Rodríguez1, Emilio García1, Ahmed Al-Rikabi2, Thomas Liehr2 and Laureana Rebordinos1* Abstract Background: Solea senegalensis (Kaup, 1858) is a commercially important flatfish species, belonging to the Pleuronectiformes order. The taxonomy of this group has long been controversial, and the karyotype of the order presents a high degree of variability in diploid number, derived from chromosomal rearrangements such as Robertsonian fusions. Previously it has been proposed that the large metacentric chromosome of S. senegalensis arises from this kind of chromosome rearrangement and that this is a proto-sex chromosome. Results: In this work, the Robertsonian origin of the large metacentric chromosome of S. senegalensis has been tested by the Zoo-FISH technique applied to two species of the Soleidae family (Dicologlossa cuneata and Dagetichthys lusitanica), and by comparative genome analysis with Cynoglossus semilaevis. From the karyotypic analysis we were able to determine a chromosome complement comprising 2n = 50 (FN = 54) in D. cuneata and 2n = 42 (FN = 50) in D. lusitanica. The large metacentric painting probe gave consistent signals in four acrocentric chromosomes of the two Soleidae species; and the genome analysis proved a common origin with four chromosome pairs of C. semilaevis.Asa result of the genomic analysis, up to 61 genes were annotated within the thirteen Bacterial Artificial Chromosome clones analysed.

Flatfishes occupy a wide diversity of habitats, includ- Paris, France ing the tropical deep‐sea and freshwaters, and often are small‐bodied fishes. Most Correspondence scientific effort, however, has been focused on large‐bodied temperate marine species Wei‐Jen Chen, Institute of Oceanography, important in fisheries. Phylogenetic study of flatfishes has also long been limited in National Taiwan University, Room 301, scope and focused on the placement and monophyly of flatfishes. As a result, several No.1 Sec. 4 Roosevelt Rd., Taipei 10617, Taiwan. questions in systematic biology have persisted that molecular phylogenetic study can Email: [email protected] answer. We examine the Pleuronectoidei, the largest suborder of Pleuronectiformes with >99% of species diversity of the order, in detail with a multilocus nuclear and Funding information Ministry of Science and Technology, mitochondrial data set of 57 pleuronectoids from 13 families covering a wide range of Taiwan, Grant/Award Number: 102-2923- habitats. We combine the molecular data with a morphological matrix to construct a B-002 -001 and 107-2611-M-002-007; Fulbright Taiwan; Agence Nationale de la total evidence phylogeny that places fossil flatfishes among extant lineages.
