Concerning the premaxillary dentition, the alevin showed a re- markable tooth band, which is not apparent in adult specimens of H. gracilis nor H. kuronumai. Hence, it may be considered a tentative character in the alevin period. In the early alevin period of the genus Hymenoce- phalus, completely formed pelvic fin rays and abdom- inal vertebrae are distinctive characters to help sepa- rate H. gracilis and H. kuronumai from the other species. The present specimen, therefore, can only be determined to genus level, as Hymenocephalus sp., presently. Early life history stages of two species of the genus Hymenocephalus have been recorded; H. italicus Gig- lioli, 1884 from the Mediterranean Sea by Sanzo (1933), and H. italicus and H. gracilis from the Atlantic Ocean by Merrett (1989).

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.

  • Assessment of Deep Demersal Fish Fauna Diversity of the Colombian Caribbean Sea

GARCÍA* and JORGE M. GAMBOA Departamento de Biología, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Carrera 45 # 26-85, Bogotá, Colombia ABSTRACT. Marine and We compiled georeferenced records of deep demersal fishes from the Colombian Fishery Sciences Caribbean Sea in order to assess the level of survey coverage and geographic completeness of MAFIS species richness inventories at a scale of 15 min by 15 min cells, in view of threats from fishing and oil and natural gas exploration. We identified a rich fauna with a minimum of 362 species registered. Areas with high observed and predicted species richness were identified. Survey coverage and geo- graphic richness completeness resulted in being deficient with no cell reaching the status of well- sampled spatial unit, being 83% of the Colombian Caribbean Exclusive Economic Zone bottoms unexplored, particularly depths beyond 1,000 m. A plea is made for renewed survey efforts with a focus on the protection of the Colombian Caribbean deep-sea biota. Key words: Colombian Caribbean, deep fishes, records, soft-bottoms, species richness. Evaluación de la diversidad de la fauna de peces demersales profundos del Mar Caribe colom- biano RESUMEN. Se recopilaron registros georreferenciados de peces demersales profundos del Mar Caribe colombiano con el fin de evaluar el nivel de cobertura de la prospección y la integridad geográfica de los inventarios de riqueza específica a una escala de celdas de 15 min por 15 min, en vista de las amenazas de la pesca y la explotación de petróleo y gas.

  • Annotated Checklist of the Marine Flora and Fauna of the Kermadec Islands Marine Reserve and Northern Kermadec Ridge, New Zealand
    www.aucklandmuseum.com Annotated checklist of the marine flora and fauna of the Kermadec Islands Marine Reserve and northern Kermadec Ridge, New Zealand Clinton A.J. Duffy Department of Conservation & Auckland War Memorial Museum Shane T. Ahyong Australian Museum & University of New South Wales Abstract At least 2086 species from 729 families are reported from the insular shelf and upper slope of the Kermadec Islands Marine Reserve and north Kermadec Ridge. The best known groups are benthic Foraminifera, benthic macroalgae, Cnidaria, Mollusca, Crustacea, Bryozoa, Echinodermata, fishes and sea birds. However knowledge of the region’s biota remains superficial and even amongst these groups new species records are commonplace. Bacteria, most planktonic groups, sessile invertebrates (particularly Porifera and Ascidiacea), infaunal and interstitial invertebrates, and parasites are largely unstudied. INTRODUCTION is a relatively large, shallow area (50–500 m depth) of complex topography located c. 105 km southwest of The Kermadec Islands are located between 636 km L’Esperance Rock in the northern part of the Central (L’Esperance and Havre Rocks) and 800 km (Raoul domain. Volcanism in this and the Southern domain is Island) NNE of New Zealand. They are large, active located west of the ridge (Smith & Price 2006). South volcanoes that rise more than 1000 m above the Kermadec of 33.3° S the ridge crest is largely located below 1000 Ridge (Ewart et al. 1977; Smith & Price 2006). The oldest m depth, eventually dipping below the sediments of the known shallow water marine sedimentary sequences Raukumara Basin at more than 2400 m depth (Smith & reported from the Kermadec Islands date from the early Price 2006).
