A Revision of the Family Embiotocidae (The Surfperches) Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3qx7s3cn Author Tarp, Fred Harald Publication Date 1952-10-01 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California STATE OF CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME BUREAU OF MARINE FISHERIES FISH BULLETIN No. 88 A Revision of the Family Embiotocidae (The Surfperches) By FRED HARALD TARP October, 1952 1 2 3 4 1. INTRODUCTION* The viviparous surfperches (family Embiotocidae) are familiar to anglers and commercial fishermen alike, along the Pacific Coast of the United States. Until the present, 21 species have been recognized in the world. Two additional forms are herein described as new. Twenty species are found in California alone, although not all are restricted to that area. The family, because of its surf-loving nature, is characteristic of inshore areas, although by no means restricted to this niche. Two species are generally found in tidepools, while one, Zalembius rosaceus, occurs in fairly deep waters along the continental shelf. Because of their rather close relationships, the Embiotocidae have been a problem for the angler, the ecologist, the parasitologist, and others, to identify and even, occasionally, have proved to be difficult for the professional ichthy- ologist to determine. An attempt has been made in this revision, to remedy this situation by including full descrip- tions based on populations, rather than on individual specimens, and by including a key which, it is hoped, will prove adequate for juvenile specimens, as well as for adults.

    2006. Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science 1 15(2): 136-148 BIODIVERSITY OF FISHES IN THE WABASH RIVER: STATUS, INDICATORS, AND THREATS Thomas P. Simon: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 620 South Walker Street, Bloomington, Indiana 47401 USA; and Aquatic Research Center, Indiana Biological Survey, 6440 South Fairfax Road, Bloomington, Indiana 47401 USA ABSTRACT. Anthropogenic impacts on native Wabash River fish species have caused extinctions, frag- mentation and loss of habitat, and range reductions that have imperiled species. Seven species that have been extirpated include the alligator gar {Atractosteus spatula), harelip sucker {Moxostoma lacerum), crystal darter (Crystallaria asprella), saddleback darter {Percina vigil), channel darter {Percina copelandi), stargazing darter {Percina uranidea), and popeye shiner {Notropis ahommus). The harelip sucker occurred in the Tippecanoe River but became extinct during the early 1900s. Banded pygmy sunfish {Elassoma zonatum) may be extirpated from Indiana, but the species status is unknown. Habitat loss has also caused the local extirpation of spotted darter {Etheostoma maculatum), greater redhorse {Moxostoma valencien- nesi), and northern madtom {Noturus stigmosus). Range reductions have influenced the distribution of northern brook lamprey {Ichthyomyzon fossor), lake sturgeon {Acipenser fulvescens), cisco {Coregonus artedii), and gilt darter {Percina evides). Currently, five species on the endangered list for Indiana (50%) occur in the Wabash River. As sensitive species have declined
