The Familial Phylogeny of the Tetraodontiformes (Acanthopterygii: Pisces) As Evidenced by Their Comparative Myology The Familial Phylogeny of the Tetraodontiformes (Acanthopterygii: Pisces) as Evidenced by Their Comparative Myology RICHARD WINTERBOTTOM m 4 SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 155 SERIAL PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION The emphasis upon publications as a means of diffusing knowledge was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. In his formal plan for the Insti- tution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, com- mencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of professional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields. These pub- lications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, laboratories, and other interested institutions and specialists throughout the world. Individual copies may be obtained from the Smithsonian Institution Press as long as stocks are available. S. DILLON RIPLEY Secretary Smithsonian Institution SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 155 The Familial Phylogeny of the Tetraodontiformes (Acanthopterygii: Pisces) as Evidenced by Their Comparative Myology Richard Winterbottom SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION PRESS City of Washington 1974 ABSTRACT Winterbottom, Richard. The Familial Phylogeny of the Tetraodontiformes (Acanthopterygii: Pisces) as Evidenced by Their Comparative Myology. Smith- sonian Contributions to Zoology, number 155, 201 pages, 185 figures, 1974.—The myology of 46 species of the order Tetraodontiformes is described, the species representing the 11 families initially recognized for the purposes of this study. The data gathered from the descriptions has been interpreted phylogenetically, using only those characters of a shared specialized (synapomorph) nature. This analysis suggests that the Triacanthodidae and Triacanthidae are sister groups, and separated off first from the ancestral stock. The remaining families are divided into two lines. On the one hand, the Balistidae form the sister group of the Monacanthidae, and together form the sister group of the Aracanidae and Ostraciidae. In the other lineage, the Triodontidae separated off first, fol- lowed by the Molidae. The Diodontidae form the sister group of the Tetra- odontidae plus Canthigasteridae. In the final analysis, such fossils as are considered pertinent to the under- standing of tetraodontiform phylogeny are considered. The information pro- vided by these fossils, combined with the results of the myological interpretations, suggest the following systematic changes in the hierarchical classification of tetraodontiforms in order to bring it into line with the proposed phylogeny: (1) that two suborders be provisionally recognized, the first containing the Triacanthodidae and Triacanthidae, the second consisting of two superfamilies; (2) that a superfamily Balistoidea be recognized to contain the families Balistidae, fSpinacanthidae, and Ostraciidae; (3) that the families Monacanthidae and Aracanidae be treated as subfamilies of the Balistidae and Ostraciidae respec- tively, and that the fSpinacanthinae of Tyler (1968) be removed from the Triacanthodidae and placed as the sister group of the Balistidae, with equal rank (as fSpinacanthidae); (4) that a superfamily Tetraodontoidea be formed to contain the families tEoplectidae, Triodontidae, Tetraodontidae, Diodontidae, and Molidae, and, should -fZignoichthys prove to be further along the gymnodont line than fEoplectus, as hinted by Tyler (1972) and tentatively preferred here, the fZignoichthyidae; (5) that the family Canthigasteridae be reduced to sub- familial rank within the family Tetraodontidae. and that the fEoplectinae of Tyler (1972) be transferred from the Triacanthodidae to the superfamily Tetrao- dontoidea and raised to familial rank, in keeping with its phylogenetic position.

E-mail : [email protected] Résumé Un inventaire des premiers poissons fossiles (Teleostei) découverts au XVIIIe siècle dans les ardoises d’Engi (Oligocène inférieur, canton de Glaris, Suisse) est présenté dans cet article. Ces poissons étaient alors assimilés à des espèces encore vivantes. La première véritable étude scientifique sur le sujet fut menée par Henri-Marie Ducrotay de Blainville à la fin des années 1810. Il est notamment le premier à avoir employé la nomenclature linnéenne pour désigner des espèces éteintes dans l’ichtyofaune des ardoises d’Engi. Alors que très peu de renseignements étaient disponibles jusqu’à présent sur cet épisode de l’histoire de la paléontologie, cet article présente des documents inédits qui illustrent une partie du matériel type de la collection Alexandre Brongniart utilisé par Blainville pour créer deux de ces espèces. Des recherches dans les collections de paléontologie de l’Université Pierre et Marie Curie et du Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle (Paris) ont permis de retrouver les holotypes par monotypie de Clupea megaptera Blainville, 1818, Pristigenys spinosus (Blainville, 1818) et « Zeus » platessa Blainville, 1818.

  • Using DNA Barcodes to Aid the Identification of Larval Fishes in Tropical Estuarine Waters (Malacca Straits, Malaysia)
    Zoological Studies 58: 30 (2019) doi:10.6620/ZS.2019.58-30 Open Access Using DNA Barcodes to Aid the Identification of Larval Fishes in Tropical Estuarine Waters (Malacca Straits, Malaysia) Cecilia Chu1, Kar Hoe Loh1, Ching Ching Ng2, Ai Lin Ooi3, Yoshinobu Konishi4, Shih-Pin Huang5, and Ving Ching Chong2,* 1Institute of Ocean and Earth Sciences, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Chan Larval descriptions of tropical marine and coastal fishes are very few, and this taxonomic problem is further exacerbated by the high diversity of fish species in these waters. Nonetheless, accurate larval identification in ecological and early life history studies of larval fishes is crucial for fishery management and habitat protection. The present study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of DNA barcodes to support larval fish identification since conventional dichotomous keys based on morphological traits are not efficient due to the lack of larval traits and the rapid morphological changes during ontogeny. Our molecular analysis uncovered a total of 48 taxa (21 families) from the larval samples collected from the Klang Strait waters encompassing both spawning and nursery grounds of marine and estuarine fishes.

  • Species Composition and Diversity of Fishes in the South China Sea, Area I: Gulf of Thailand and East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia
    S4/FB3<CHAVALIT> Species composition and Diversity of Fishes in the South China Sea, Area I: Gulf of Thailand and East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia Chavalit Vidthayanon Department of Fisheries, Bangkok 10900, Thailand ABSTRACT The collaborative research on species composition and diversity of fishes in the Gulf of Thai- land and eastern Malay Peninsula was carried out by R. V. Pramong 4 in Thai waters and K.K. Manchong, K.K. Mersuji in Malaysian waters, through otter-board trawling surveys. Taxonomic surveys also done for commercial fishes in the markets of some localities. Totally 300 species from 18 orders and 89 families were obtained. Their diversity are drastically declined, compare to the previous survey from 380 species trawled. The station point of off Ko Chang, eastern Gulf of Thai- land and off Pahang River shown significantly high diversity of fishes57 and 73 species found. De- mersal species form the main composition of the catchs. The lizardfish Saurida undosquamis, S. miropectoralis, the bigeye Priacanthus tayenus and P. macracanthus, the rabbitfish Siganus canaliculatus and hairtail Trichiurus lepturus were the most abundant economic species found in mast of the sampling stations. Fishing efforts were 34 hours and 49 hours for the cruises I and II, with average catch per hour of 12.04 and 34.79 kg. respectively. The maximum catch per hour was 175.3 kg in Malaysian waters, the minimum was 4.33 kg in Thai waters. The average percentage of eco- nomic fishes is higher than that of trash fishes in Malaysian waters, it ranged from 55.45 to 81.92 %.

  • DNA Barcoding of Freshwater Fishes in Matang, Malaysia
    UPTEC X 15 007 Examensarbete 30 hp Juni 2015 DNA barcoding of freshwater fishes in Matang, Malaysia Anna Fogelström Bioinformatics Engineering Program Uppsala University School of Engineering UPTEC X 15 007 Date of issue 2015-06 Author Anna Fogelström Title (English) DNA barcoding of freshwater fishes in Matang, Malaysia Title (Swedish) Abstract DNA barcoding is a fairly recently developed method for species identification at the molecular level, often using a short DNA sequence from the mitochondrial genome. In this study DNA barcoding was applied to establish a framework at University of Malaya for rapid and efficient identification of freshwater fish of Malaysia instead of relying on morphological techniques that require high level of taxonomical knowledge and field experience. The results, when applying the established framework, indicate that the interspecific divergences calculated for our target group are clearly greater than intraspecific variations within the group, i.e. a barcode gap seems to exist. Indications are hence that cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 sequences as barcodes could be effective tools for rapid identification of freshwater fishes and results could provide a good start for researchers at University of Malaya to start build a reference library of barcode sequences.

E-mail : [email protected] Résumé Ancien militaire français dans l’armée impériale, Pierre François Marie Bourdet se consacra à l’étude des fossiles entre 1820 et 1824 alors qu’il résidait à Genève. Ses travaux dans le domaine de la paléontologie n’étaient connus jusqu’alors que par quelques allusions faites par Cuvier dans ses Recherches sur les ossemens fossiles et par de courtes notices publiées dans des comptes rendus de séances de sociétés savantes de l’époque. Deux mémoires manuscrits de Bourdet conservés à la Bibliothèque de Genève et à la Bibliothèque centrale du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle (Paris) permettent de faire la lumière sur son travail à une époque cruciale dans le développement de l’anatomie comparée et de la paléontologie. Ces travaux inédits sont intitulés « Histoire naturelle des ichthyodontes, ou dents de poissons fossiles » et « Mémoire sur différentes espèces de tortues fossiles ». La correspondance de Bourdet avec Alexandre Brongniart, Georges Cuvier, Henri-Marie Ducrotay de Blainville, Bernhard Studer et le prince Christian Frederik de Danemark permet de préciser le contexte historique de ces deux études. Les dessins accompagnant ces travaux inédits révèlent des fossiles qui étaient conservés dans les collections de la famille Deluc, Karl August Friedrich Meisner, Jakob Samuel Wyttenbach, Charles-Aloyse Fontaine et celle du prince Christian Frederik de Danemark.
