Frank L. Pezold, PhD Chris Bird, PhD Chair Committee Member Kevin W. Conway, PhD James D. Hogan, PhD Committee Member Committee Member Lea-Der Chen, PhD Graduate Faculty Representative December 2014 ABSTRACT The family of fishes commonly known as gobies (Teleostei: Gobiidae) is one of the most diverse lineages of vertebrates in the world. With more than 1700 species of gobies spread among more than 200 genera, gobies are the most species-rich family of marine fishes. Gobies can be found in nearly every aquatic habitat on earth, and are often the most diverse and numerically abundant fishes in tropical and subtropical habitats, especially coral reefs. Their remarkable taxonomic, morphological and ecological diversity make them an ideal model group for studying the processes driving taxonomic and phenotypic diversification in aquatic vertebrates. Unfortunately the phylogenetic relationships of many groups of gobies are poorly resolved, obscuring our understanding of the evolution of their ecological diversity. This dissertation is a multi-scale phylogenetic study that aims to clarify phylogenetic relationships across the Gobiidae and demonstrate the utility of this family for studies of macroevolution and speciation at multiple evolutionary timescales. -

THESIS Submitted in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER of SCIENCE of Rhodes University
THE KARYOLOGY AND TAXONOMY OF THE SOUTHERN AFRICAN YELLOWFISH (PISCES: CYPRINIDAE) THESIS Submitted in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE of Rhodes University by LAWRENCE KEITH OELLERMANN December, 1988 ABSTRACT The southern African yellowfish (Barbus aeneus, ~ capensls, .!L. kimberleyensis, .!L. natalensis and ~ polylepis) are very similar, which limits the utility of traditional taxonomic methods. For this reason yellowfish similarities were explored using multivariate analysis and karyology. Meristic, morphometric and Truss (body shape) data were examined using multiple discriminant, principal component and cluster analyses. The morphological study disclosed that although the species were very similar two distinct groups occurred; .!L. aeneus-~ kimberleyensis and ~ capensis-~ polylepis-~ natalensis. Karyology showed that the yellowfish were hexaploid, ~ aeneus and IL... kimberleyensis having 148 chromosomes while the other three species had 150 chromosomes. Because the karyotypes of the species were variable the fundamental number for each species was taken as the median value for ten spreads. Median fundamental numbers were ~ aeneus ; 196, .!L. natalensis ; 200, ~ kimberleyensis ; 204, ~ polylepis ; 206 and ~ capensis ; 208. The lower chromosome number and higher fundamental number was considered the more apomorphic state for these species. Silver-staining of nucleoli showed that the yellowfish are probably undergoing the process of diploidization. Southern African Barbus and closely related species used for outgroup comparisons showed three levels of ploidy. The diploid species karyotyped were ~ anoplus (2N;48), IL... argenteus (2N;52), ~ trimaculatus (2N;42- 48), Labeo capensis (2N;48) and k umbratus (2N;48); the tetraploid species were B . serra (2N;102), ~ trevelyani (2N;±96), Pseudobarbus ~ (2N;96) and ~ burgi (2N;96); and the hexaploid species were ~ marequensis (2N;130-150) and Varicorhinus nelspruitensis (2N;130-148). -
New Host Records for Lernaea Cyprinacea (Copepoda), a Parasite of Freshwater Fishes, with a Checklist of the Lernaeidae in Japan (1915-2007)
J. Grad. Sch. Biosp. Sci. Hiroshima Univ. (2007), 46:21~33 New Host Records for Lernaea cyprinacea (Copepoda), a Parasite of Freshwater Fishes, with a Checklist of the Lernaeidae in Japan (1915-2007) Kazuya Nagasawa, Akiko Inoue, Su Myat and Tetsuya Umino Graduate School of Biosphere Science, Hiroshima University 1-4-4 Kagamiyama, Higashi-Hiroshima, Hiroshima 739-8528, Japan Abstract The lernaeid copepod Lernaea cyprinacea Linnaeus, 1758, was found attached to three species of freshwater fishes, the barbell steed Hemibarbus labeo (Pallas) (Cyprinidae), the dark chub Zacco temminckii (Temminck and Schlegel) (Cyprinidae), and the Amur catfish Silurus asotus Linnaeus (Siluridae) from Hiroshima Prefecture in Japan. The findings from Hemibarbus labeo and Zacco temminckii represent new host records for L. cyprinacea, while Silurus asotus is a new host in Japan. Based on the literature published for 93 years from 1915 to 2007, a checklist of three species of lernaeid copepods (Lernaea cyprinacea, Lernaea parasiluri, Lamproglena chinensis) from Japan is given, including information on the synonym(s), host(s), site(s) of infection, and distribution. The checklist shows that in Japan L. cyprinacea has been reported from 33 or 34 species and subspecies of fishes belonging to 17 families in 10 orders and also from 2 species of amphibians from 2 families in 2 orders. Key words: Lamproglena chinensis; Lernaea cyprinacea; Lernaea parasiluri; Lernaeidae; parasites; new hosts INTRODUCTION The lernaeid copepod Lernaea cyprinacea Linnaeus, 1758, often called the anchor worm, is a parasite of freshwater fishes in various regions of the world (Kabata, 1979; Lester and Hayward, 2006). The anterior part of the body of metamorphosed adult female is embedded in the host tissue, whereas the remaining body protrudes in the water. -
Complete Mitochondrial Genome of the Speckled Dace Rhinichthys Osculus, a Widely Distributed Cyprinid Minnow of Western North America
Bock. Published in Mitochondrial DNA Part A> DNA Mapping, Sequencing, and Analysis, 27(6), Oct. 21, 2015: 4416-4418 MITOGENOME ANNOUNCEMENT Complete mitochondrial genome of the speckled dace Rhinichthys osculus, a widely distributed cyprinid minnow of western North America Samantha L. Bock, Morgan M. Malley, and Sean C. Lema Department of Biological Sciences, Center for Coastal Marine Sciences, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, CA, USA Abstract Keywords The speckled dace Rhinichthys osculus (order Cypriniformes), also known as the carpita pinta, is Cyprinidae, Cypriniformes, Leuciscinae, a small cyprinid minnow native to western North America. Here, we report the sequencing of mitogenome, mtDNA the full mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of R. osculus from a male fish collected from the Amargosa River Canyon in eastern California, USA. The assembled mitogenome is 16 658 base pair (bp) nucleotides, and encodes 13 protein-coding genes, and includes both a 12S and a 16S rRNA, 22 tRNAs, and a 985 bp D-loop control region. Mitogenome synteny reflects that of other Ostariophysian fishes with the majority of genes and RNAs encoded on the heavy strand (H-strand) except nd6, tRNA-Gln, tRNA-Ala, tRNA-Asn, tRNA-Cys, tRNA-Tyr, tRNA-Ser, tRNA-Glu, and tRNA - Pro. The availability of this R. osculus mitochondrial genome – the first complete mitogenome within the lineage of Rhinichthys riffle daces – provides a foundation for resolving evolutionary relationships among morphologically differentiated populations of R. osculus.

Twenty-four previously known, 2 new, and 4 unidentified species in 17 gen- era and 12 families are recorded. Three dubious literature records are also mentioned. All 30 con- firmed species, except Sanguinicolidae gen. sp. (Aporocotylidae), are described and figured. Life cy- cles are discussed where known. Philopinna kawamutsu sp. nov. (Didymozoidae) was found in the connective tissue between the vertebrae and the air bladder near the esophagus of Nipponocypris tem- minckii (Temminck and Schlegel) (Cyprinidae). Genarchopsis yaritanago sp. nov. (Derogenidae) was found in the intestine of Tanakia lanceolata (Temminck and Schlegel) (Cyprinidae). Asymphylodora innominata (Faust, 1924) comb. nov. is proposed for A. macrostoma Ozaki, 1925 (Lissorchiidae). A key to the families, genera, and species of these digeneans is provided.
