    Biodiversity of Shallow Reef Fish Assemblages in Western Australia Using a Rapid Censusing Technique

    Records of the Western Australian Museum 20: 247-270 (2001). Biodiversity of shallow reef fish assemblages in Western Australia using a rapid censusing technique J. Harry Hutchins Department of Aquatic Zoology, Western Australian Museum, Francis Street, Perth, Western Australia 6000, Australia email: [email protected] Abstract -A rapid assessment methodology was used to provide relative abundance data on selected families of Western Australian fishes. Twenty shallow water reef sites were surveyed covering the coastline between the Recherche Archipelago in the south east and the Kimberley in the north. Three groups of atolls located off the Kimberley coast were also included. Eighteen families that best represent the State's nearshore reef fish fauna were targeted. They are: Serranidae, Caesionidae, Lu~anidae, Haemulidae, Lethrinidae, Mullidae, Pempherididae, Kyphosidae, Girellidae, Scorpididae, Chaetodontidae, Pomacanthidae, Pomacentridae, Cheilodactylidae, Labridae, Odacidae, Acanthuridae, and Monacanthidae. Analysis of the dataset using a hierarchical classification technique indicates that four groups of reef fishes are present: a southwest assemblage, a northwest assemblage, an offshore atolls assemblage, and a Kimberley assemblage. The first assemblage is comprised mainly of temperate species, while the latter three are mostly tropical fishes; these two broader groupings narrowly overlap on the west coast between Kalbarri and the Houtman Abrolhos. Evidence of a wide zone of temperate/tropical overlap-as proposed by some previous studies-is not supported by this analysis, nor is the presence of a prominent subtropical fauna on the west coast. Ecological differences of the four assemblages are explored, as well as the impact by the Leeuwin Current on this arrangement. INTRODUCTION western and southern coasts of the State, but could Western Australia occupies about 23 degrees of only provide a brief comparison with other more latitude (12-35°5) covering a large and varied northern areas.

Itzkowitz, M. Haley, C. Otis, D. Evers Biology Department Lehigh University Bethlehem, PA, 18015 ABSTRACT: A submersible was used to make repetitive dives in Jamaica to depths of 2S m 50 m, and 100m. With increasing depth there was a decline in both species and the numbe; of individuals. The territorial damselfish and mixed-species groups of herbivorous fishes were conspicuously absent at 100m. Few unique species appeared with increasing depth and thus the deep community resembled depauperate versions of the shallower communities. Twelve species were shared between the 3 depths but there was no significant correlation in ranked relative abundance.

Now those very same reefs attract many visitors to experience the amazing diversity of marine life that it offers. Sharks and Scorpion fish, Octopus, Lionfish, Turtles and legions of multi-coloured fish of all shapes and sizes are to be found here! Add to that an exciting variety of cetaceans and you have a wildlife paradise. Despite the frustrating hiccoughs experienced by various members of the group in their travels, due to the snowy weather in the UK, we had a successful week in and around this intriguing chain of coral islands. After a brief stay in the lovely Bandos Island Resort (very brief for Pat and Stuart!), which gave us time for some snorkel practice, we boarded the MV Theia, our base for the next week. We soon settled into the daily routine of early morning and evening snorkels, daytimes searching for cetaceans or relaxing, and evening talks by Chas, our local Maldives expert.

    A survey of fishes associated with Hawaiian deep-water Halimeda kanaloana (Bryopsidales: Halimedaceae) and Avrainvillea sp. (Bryopsidales: Udoteaceae) meadows Ross C. Langston1 and Heather L. Spalding2 1 Department of Natural Sciences, University of Hawai`i- Windward Community College, Kane`ohe,¯ HI, USA 2 Department of Botany, University of Hawai`i at Manoa,¯ Honolulu, HI, USA ABSTRACT The invasive macroalgal species Avrainvillea sp. and native species Halimeda kanaloana form expansive meadows that extend to depths of 80 m or more in the waters off of O`ahu and Maui, respectively. Despite their wide depth distribution, comparatively little is known about the biota associated with these macroalgal species. Our primary goals were to provide baseline information on the fish fauna associated with these deep-water macroalgal meadows and to compare the abundance and diversity of fishes between the meadow interior and sandy perimeters. Because both species form structurally complex three-dimensional canopies, we hypothesized that they would support a greater abundance and diversity of fishes when compared to surrounding sandy areas. We surveyed the fish fauna associated with these meadows using visual surveys and collections made with clove-oil anesthetic. Using these techniques, we recorded a total of 49 species from 25 families for H. kanaloana meadows and surrounding sandy areas, and 28 species from 19 families for Avrainvillea sp. habitats. Percent endemism was 28.6% and 10.7%, respectively. Wrasses (Family Labridae) were the most speciose taxon in both habitats (11 and six species, respectively), followed by gobies for H. kanaloana (six Submitted 18 November 2016 species). The wrasse Oxycheilinus bimaculatus and cardinalfish Apogonichthys perdix Accepted 13 April 2017 were the most frequently-occurring species within the H.
