Microsatellite DNA-based genetic traceability of two populations of splendid alfonsino, Beryx splendens (Actinopterygii: Beryciformes: Berycidae)— Project CELFISH—Part 2. Acta Ichthyol. Piscat. 46 (4): 287–291. Background. The study is a contribution to Project CELFISH which involves genetic identifi cation of populations of fi sh species presenting a particular economic importance or having a potential to be used in the so-called commercial substitutions. The EU fi sh trade has been showing a distinct trend of more and more fi sh species previously unknown to consumers being placed on the market. Molecular assays have become the only way with which to verify the reliability of exporters. This paper is aimed at pinpointing genetic markers with which to label and differentiate between two populations of splendid alfonsino, Beryx splendens Lowe, 1834, a species highly attractive to consumers in Asia and Oceania due to the meat taste and low fat content. Material and methods. DNA was isolated from fragments of fi ns collected at local markets in Japan (MJ) (n = 10) and New Zealand (MNZ) (n = 18). The rhodopsin gene (RH1) fragment and 16 microsatellite DNA fragments (SSR) were analysed in all the individuals. -

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. -

Keywords: Beryciformes; Holocentriformes; Aulopiformes; otolith; evolutionary implications; paleoecology. Abstract. Bulk sampling and extensive, systematic surface collecting of the Coon Creek Member of the Ripley Formation (early Maastrichtian) at the Blue Springs locality and primarily bulk sampling of the Owl Creek Formation (late Maastrichtian) at the Owl Creek type locality, both in northeast Mississippi, USA, have produced the largest and most highly diversified actinopterygian otolith (ear stone) assemblage described from the Mesozoic of North America. The 3,802 otoliths represent 30 taxa of bony fishes representing at least 22 families. In addition, there were two different morphological types of lapilli, which were not identifiable to species level. -

Abstract The otoliths described in this study from the Late Eocene to Early Oligocene (biozone P18) of the Kishima Formation near Karatsu, Saga Prefecture, represent the earliest record of fossil otoliths from Japan and in fact the entire Northwest Pacific. They were obtained from outcrops along the Shimohirano River. A total of 13 otolith-based teleost taxa are recognized, 11 of which being identifiable to species level and new to science and five new genera. The new otolith-based genera are: Nishiberyx n. gen. (Berycidae), Sagaberyx n. gen. (Berycoidei family indet.), Namicauda n. gen. (Polymixiidae), Ortugobius n. gen. (tentatively placed in Gobiidae) and Cornusolea n. gen. (Soleidae); the new species are: Rhynchoconger placidus n. sp., Rhynchoconger subtilis n. sp., Saurida macilenta n. sp., Nishiberyx nishimotoi n. sp., Sagaberyx kishimaensis n. sp., Namicauda pulvinata n. sp., Liza brevirostris n. sp., Pontinus? karasawai n. sp., Ortugo- bius cascus n. -
Percomorph Phylogeny: a Survey of Acanthomorphs and a New Proposal
BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 52(1): 554-626, 1993 PERCOMORPH PHYLOGENY: A SURVEY OF ACANTHOMORPHS AND A NEW PROPOSAL G. David Johnson and Colin Patterson ABSTRACT The interrelationships of acanthomorph fishes are reviewed. We recognize seven mono- phyletic terminal taxa among acanthomorphs: Lampridiformes, Polymixiiformes, Paracan- thopterygii, Stephanoberyciformes, Beryciformes, Zeiformes, and a new taxon named Smeg- mamorpha. The Percomorpha, as currently constituted, are polyphyletic, and the Perciformes are probably paraphyletic. The smegmamorphs comprise five subgroups: Synbranchiformes (Synbranchoidei and Mastacembeloidei), Mugilomorpha (Mugiloidei), Elassomatidae (Elas- soma), Gasterosteiformes, and Atherinomorpha. Monophyly of Lampridiformes is justified elsewhere; we have found no new characters to substantiate the monophyly of Polymixi- iformes (which is not in doubt) or Paracanthopterygii. Stephanoberyciformes uniquely share a modification of the extrascapular, and Beryciformes a modification of the anterior part of the supraorbital and infraorbital sensory canals, here named Jakubowski's organ. Our Zei- formes excludes the Caproidae, and characters are proposed to justify the monophyly of the group in that restricted sense. The Smegmamorpha are thought to be monophyletic principally because of the configuration of the first vertebra and its intermuscular bone. Within the Smegmamorpha, the Atherinomorpha and Mugilomorpha are shown to be monophyletic elsewhere. Our Gasterosteiformes includes the syngnathoids and the Pegasiformes -

(2020) - Fish otoliths from the late Maastrichtian Kemp Clay (Texas, USA) and the early Danian Clayton Formation (Arkansas, USA) and an assessment of extinction and survival of teleost lineages across the K-Pg boundary based on otoliths. Riv. It. Paleontol. Strat., 126(2): 395-446. Keywords: K-Pg boundary event; Gadiformes; Heterenchelyidae; otolith; extinction; survival. Abstract. Otolith assemblages have rarely been studied across the K-Pg boundary. The late Maastrichtian Kemp Clay of northeastern Texas and the Fox Hills Formation of North Dakota, and the early Danian Clayton Formation of Arkansas therefore offer new insights into how teleost fishes managed across the K-Pg boundary as reconstructed from their otoliths. The Kemp Clay contains 25 species, with 6 new species and 2 in open nomenclature and the Fox Hills Formation contains 4 species including 1 new species. The two otolith associations constitute the Western Interior Seaway (WIS) community. -
