Resurrection and Re-Description of Pampus Candidus (Cuvier), Silver Pomfret from the Northern Indian Ocean

The systematics of this genus is complicated because of morphological similarities between species. The silver pomfret from Indian waters has long been considered to be Pampus argenteus. Morphological and molecular examination of specimens from the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal regions suggested the silver pomfret from the region represents two species that are distinct both from each other and from P. argenteus from the South China Sea. Based on detailed morphological, meristic and molecular examinations, the most common species from the Indian Ocean was found to correspond with the descriptions of Stromateus candidus (Cuvier), which is resurrected from the synonymy of P. argenteus and redescribed here as Pampus candidus (new combination). -
Zootaxa, First Report of Rare Pomfrets (Teleostei: Bramidae) from Brazilian

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. -

Pampus argenteus (Euphrasen, 1788) Joe K. Kizhakudan, Shoba Joe Kizhakudan and Ritesh Ranjan IDENTIFICATION Order : Perciformes Family : Stromateidae Common/FAO Name (English) : Silver pomfret Local namesnames: Paplet, Vichuda (GujaratiGujarati); Paplet, Chandava, Saraga (MarathiMarathi); Surangat (Konkanionkani); Manji, Thondrette/Thondrotte (Kannadaannada); Vella-avoli, Karuvolli, Veluthaavoli (MalayalamMalayalam); Karuvaval, Vavval, Vellavavvel, Vellaivaval (Tamilamil); Chanduva, Nallachanduva, Thellachanduva (Teluguelugu); Chandee, Ghia (OriyaOriya); Chandi, Pomfret (BengaliBengali) MORPHOLOGICAL DESCRIPTION Oval shaped compressed body, grey above grading to silvery white towards the belly, with small black dots all over the body. No dorsal spines; dorsal soft rays 37-43. There are 5-10 blade-like spines before the dorsal and anal fins. No operculum; gill opening reduced to a vertical slit on the side of the body; gill membrane broadly united to isthmus. Pelvic fins absent. Deeply forked caudal fin with longer lower lobe. Dorsal, anal and caudal fins falcate. Source of image : CMFRI, Kochi 123 PROFILE GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION Silver pomfret occurs in Indo-West Pacific waters, from Persian Gulf to Japan (north to Hokkaido), excluding Australia. They are also reported from the Adriatic, Hawaii and north-eastern Atlantic. HABITAT AND BIOLOGY They are schooling meso-pelagic fishes inhabiting shallow to deep waters and muddy bottoms, up to 100 m depth. Young are commonly reported from estuaries. Diet studies have indicated that the diet of silver pomfret consists of a broad spectrum of food types, but was dominated by crustaceans, with copepods and their eggs constituting 39 % and other non-copepod crustaceans constituting 16 %. Other major diet components were Bacillariophyta (21 %), mollusca (11 %), fish scales (10 %), fish eggs and larvae (3 %). -
Fish Assemblage Structure Comparison Between Freshwater and Estuarine Habitats in the Lower Nakdong River, South Korea

Impacts of estuary weirs on fish assemblages are particularly distinct because the weirs are disturbed in linking between freshwater and estuarine fish communities, and migration successes for regional fish fauna. This study conducted fish sampling at the lower reaches of the Nakdong River to assess spatio-temporal variations in fish assemblages, and effects of estuary weir on structuring fish assemblage between freshwater and estuary habitats. In total, 20,386 specimens comprising 78 species and 41 families were collected. The numerical dominant fish species were Tachysurus nitidus (48.8% in total abundance), Hemibarbus labeo (10.7%) and Chanodichthys erythropterus (3.6%) in the freshwater region, and Engraulis japonicus (10.0%), Nuchequula nuchalis (7.7%) and Clupea pallasii (5.2%) in the estuarine site. -

An Estimation of the Life History and Ecology of Opah and Monchong in the North Pacific
SCTB15 Working Paper BBRG-2 An estimation of the life history and ecology of opah and Monchong in the North Pacific Donald R. Hawn, Michael P. Seki, and Robert Nishimoto National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Honolulu Laboratory Hawaii An investigation of the life history and ecology of opah and monchong in the North Pacific1 Donald R. Hawn, Michael P. Seki, and Robert Nishimoto National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA Southwest Fisheries Science Center Honolulu Laboratory 2570 Dole Street Honolulu, HI 96822-2396 Introduction Two miscellaneous pelagic species incidentally caught by Hawaii-based longliners targeting bigeye tuna are the opah (Lampris guttatus) and monchong (Taractichthys steindachneri and Eumegistus illustris) (Fig. 1). Particularly valued by restaurants, these exotic, deep-water fishes are generally harvested in small, but nevertheless significant, quantities. For the period 1987-99, as much as 300,000 lbs. of “monchong” were landed at United Fishing Agency (UFA) with individual fish averaging 14.2 to 17.7 lbs. Mean price ranged from $1.35 to $2.06 per lb. with annual ex-vessel revenue ranging from negligible (<$10K) to $420K. Over the same time period, 150,000 to 1.2 million lbs of opah have been landed annually with individual fish weighing 97-111 lbs. Annual ex-vessel revenue for opah ranged from $240K to $1.4 million at a price per lb ranging from $0.87 to $1.40 (R. Ito, NMFS Honolulu Laboratory, pers. comm.). Since neither are targeted species, these fishes have historically been poorly studied and as a result available information pertaining to the biology and ecology of these resources are virtually nonexistent. -

Abstract The brilliant pomfret (Eumegistus illustris) occurs in the western part of the Indian Ocean and the Rabhi K western and central Pacific Ocean. To date, the biology of E. illustris has never been documented. The Ifremer, Fisheries Laboratory, aim of the present study was to investigate age and growth of E. illustris along the coasts of Reunion Sclerochronology Centre, 150 Island, based on calcified structures analysis. One hundred thirty five individuals were sampled in the quai Gambetta, BP 699, F-62321 landings of the French local artisanal fisheries from March 2014 to March 2015. The relationships Boulogne-sur-Mer, France. between two types of body length (Total and Standard lengths, cm) and Total weight (g) were significant (P<0.05). Total length-weight relationship was described by the following parameters: a=0.012 and Bellamy E Ifremer, b=3.015 without significant effect of sexual dimorphism. The oblong shape of the scales and the otoliths Laboratoire Environnement could explain the difficulty in using these calcified structures for ageing E. -
