E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This is the first in a series of reports describing new records caught with circle hooks, a method only now being employed in exploratory fishing in Brazilian deep waters. Several new records of deep-water fishes were obtained with this equipment. In this paper we record for the first time the occurrence of two genera and species of Bramidae in Brazilian waters: the tropical pomfret Eumegistus brevorti and the keeltail pomfret Taractes rubescens. We also report on previously unnoticed collection records from preserved specimens of Pterycombus brama in museum collections, and the first capture of an adult bigscale pomfret Taractichthys longipinnis in Brazil. These new records increase the number of bramid species known from Brazilian waters to ten. The addition of P. b rama to the Brazilian Bramidae makes the Southwestern Atlantic the only known area of the world where two species of Pterycombus are found together.

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.

  • Guide to the Coastal Marine Fishes of California
    STATE OF CALIFORNIA THE RESOURCES AGENCY DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME FISH BULLETIN 157 GUIDE TO THE COASTAL MARINE FISHES OF CALIFORNIA by DANIEL J. MILLER and ROBERT N. LEA Marine Resources Region 1972 ABSTRACT This is a comprehensive identification guide encompassing all shallow marine fishes within California waters. Geographic range limits, maximum size, depth range, a brief color description, and some meristic counts including, if available: fin ray counts, lateral line pores, lateral line scales, gill rakers, and vertebrae are given. Body proportions and shapes are used in the keys and a state- ment concerning the rarity or commonness in California is given for each species. In all, 554 species are described. Three of these have not been re- corded or confirmed as occurring in California waters but are included since they are apt to appear. The remainder have been recorded as occurring in an area between the Mexican and Oregon borders and offshore to at least 50 miles. Five of California species as yet have not been named or described, and ichthyologists studying these new forms have given information on identification to enable inclusion here. A dichotomous key to 144 families includes an outline figure of a repre- sentative for all but two families. Keys are presented for all larger families, and diagnostic features are pointed out on most of the figures. Illustrations are presented for all but eight species. Of the 554 species, 439 are found primarily in depths less than 400 ft., 48 are meso- or bathypelagic species, and 67 are deepwater bottom dwelling forms rarely taken in less than 400 ft.

  • New Record of Brama Dussumieri (Pisces: Bramidae) from Korea, As Revealed by Morphological and Molecular Analyses
    Original Article http://e-fas.org Fish Aquat Sci 18(3), 311-316, 2015 New Record of Brama dussumieri (Pisces: Bramidae) from Korea, as Revealed by Morphological and Molecular Analyses Woo Jun Lee and Jin-Koo Kim* Department of Marine Biology, Pukyong National University, Busan 48513, Korea Abstract Ten specimens of Brama dussumieri (family Bramidae) were collected from waters off Jeju Island, Busan, and Gangneung, Korea, during 2013-2014. The specimens were characterized by having 58-64 lateral line scales and 13-15 gill rakers. An analysis of 567 base pair sequences of mitochondrial DNA cytochrome c oxidase subunit I showed that sequences in our ten specimens are concor- dant with those of B. dussumieri from the USA, India, and Japan, although with slight differences (genetic distance = 0.000-0.018). Brama dussumieri was distinguished from the most similar species, Brama japonica, by the number of lateral line scales (57-65 in B. dussumieri vs. 65-75 in B. japonica) and the number of gill rakers (13-15 in B. dussumieri vs. 17-20 in B. japonica). We propose the new Korean name “Wae-sae-da-rae” for B. dussumieri in Korea. Key words: Brama dussumieri, New record, Bramidae, mtDNA COI Introduction The family Bramidae in the order Perciformes comprises methods, such as DNA barcoding, to clarify the taxonomic 7 genera and 22 species worldwide (Nelson, 2006), 6 genera status of cosmopolitan species, such as B. dussumieri. This pa- and 10 species in Japan (Hatooka and Kai, 2013), and 4 genera per presents the first morphological description ofB. dussumi- and 6 species in Korea (Kim, 2011; Kim et al., 2012; Lee et eri from Korea, and elucidates allometric variations occurring al., 2014).

  • The Family Bramidae (Perciformes) from the Canary Islands (Northeastern Atlantic Ocean), with Three New Records
    The family Bramidae (Perciformes) from the Canary Islands (Northeastern Atlantic Ocean), with three new records by Gustavo GONZÁLEZ-LORENZO* (1, 2), José F. GONZÁLEZ-JIMÉNEZ (1), Alberto BRITO (2) & José A. GONZÁLEZ (3) Abstract. – An account of the species of the family Bramidae (Teleostei, Perciformes) from the Canary Islands is given. Pterycombus brama, Taractes asper and Taractes rubescens are recorded for the first time in the Canar- ies, which brings to six the number of bramid species recorded in the area.

Using mitochondrial DNA and phylogenetic approaches we identified 6 individuals of the species Xenobrama microlepis in a haul targeting the southern Ray’s bream (Brama australis) taken by artisanal fishermen close to Chilean coast. The presence of X. microlepis increases the regional marine biodiversity of fishes in Chilean waters, and fisheries managers should pay attention to the hidden biodiversity in the fishery statistics. Key words: Molecular taxonomy, hidden biodiversity, barcode, COI INTRODUCTION same haul. This suggested that the Bramidae maybe more Species that occur in low abundances and that are diverse than previously thought. In this context, the use morphologically similar to the main target species are often of molecular data and phylogenetic approaches has had undetectable in fisheries hauls, and thus they increase the fishery a big influence on contemporary taxonomy (Harley 2009), statistics of the target species (i.e., Ardura et al.

  • Tropical Transpacific Shore Fishesl
    Tropical Transpacific Shore Fishesl D. Ross Robertson, 2 Jack S. Grove, 3 and John E. McCosker4 Abstract: Tropical transpacific fishes occur on both sides of the world's largest deep-water barrier to the migration of marine shore organisms, the 4,000- to 7,000-km-wide Eastern Pacific Barrier (EPB). They include 64 epipelagic oce­ anic species and 126 species ofshore fishes known from both the tropical eastern Pacific (TEP) and the central and West Pacific. The broad distributions of 19 of 39 circumglobal transpacific species ofshore fishes offer no clues to the origin of their TEP populations; TEP populations of another 19 with disjunct Pacific distributions may represent isthmian relicts that originated from New World populations separated by the closure of the Central American isthmus. Eighty species of transpacific shore fishes likely migrated eastward to the TEP, and 22 species of shore fishes (12 of them isthmian relicts) and one oceanic species likely migrated westward from the TEP. Transpacific species constitute ~12% of the TEP's tropical shore fishes and 15-20% of shore fishes at islands on the western edge of the EPB. Eastward migrants constitute ~ 7% of the TEP's shore-fish fauna, and a similar proportion of TEP endemics may be derived from recent eastward immigration. Representation of transpacific species in different elements of the TEP fauna relates strongly to adult pelagic dispersal ability-they constitute almost all the epipelagic oceanic species, ~25% of the inshore pelagic species, but only 10% of the demersal shore fishes. Taxa that have multiple pelagic life-history stages are best represented among the transpacific species.
