MENGENAL SURGEONFISH €•Dory― SI EKSOTIS BERSIRIP TAJAM (05 Mar 2018) MENGENAL SURGEONFISH ―DORY― SI EKSOTIS BERSIRIP TAJAM (05 Mar 2018) MENGENAL SURGEONFISH ”DORY” SI EKSOTIS BERSIRIP TAJAM Tahukah anda film animasi tentang ikan, Finding Nemo atau Finding Dory ? Di film itu dikisahkan terdapat tokoh ikan kecil berwarna biru yang bernama “Dory”. Di kehidupan nyata, “Dory” adalah sejenis ikan surgeonfish. Surgeonfish atau disebut juga dengan tangfish terdiri dari kurang lebih 75 spesies, bentuknya pipih lateral, dan memiliki warna-warna yang mencolok. Tidak seperti “Dory” yang digambarkan di film sebagai ikan yang lucu dan menggemaskan, di dunia nyata Surgeonfish adalah ikan yang berbahaya yang bahkan tidak bisa disentuh karena memiliki sirip setajam pisau bedah (surgeon’s scalpel) sehingga disebutlah surgeonfish. Surgeonfish dapat ditemukan di semua perairan tropis, merupakan ikan herbivora pemakan algae, dan memiliki habitat di terumbu karang yang dangkal. Beberapa spesies yang tidak sepenuhnya memakan algae, sebab ada beberpa yang bisa memakan crustacean dan benda organik lainnya. Sebagai pemakan algae yang merusak karang, ikan jenis ini bisa membantu kesehatan terumbu karang baik di lautan ataupun di akuarium. Menurut catatan di penangkaran ikan, Surgeonfish bisa berumur sampai 8-20 tahun. Klasifikasi Surgeonfish Ordo : Perciformes Subordo : Acanthuroidei Family : Acanthuridae Genus : Acanthurus, Ctenochaetus, Naso, Paracanthurus, Prionurus, Zebrasoma Berikut ini adalah beberapa contoh spesies surgeonfish dari masing-masing genus: 1. Genus Acanthurus Acanthurus coeruleus atau dikenal sebagai blue tang surgeonfish dapat ditemukan di samudera Atlantik seperti di perairan Karibia. Spesies ini berwarna kuning ketika masih muda (juvenile) dan berubah warna menjadi biru ketika dewasa. Ketika dewasa panjangnya bisa mencapai 39 cm (15 inch). Ikan ini bisa memakan algae dari terumbu karang ataupun yang menempel pada ikan lainnya. Acanthurus coeruleus muda Acanthurus coeruleus dewasa 2. Genus Ctenochaetus Salah satu spesiesnya adalah Ctenochaetus strigosus disebut juga kole tang, bristletooth atau yellow-eye tang ditemukan di perairan Oceania seperti Australia dan New Zealand. Warna tubuhnya coklat tua dengan garis (stripe) berwarna biru muda atau kuning, garis ini berubah menjadi bintik-bintik di bagian muka, dan yang paling menciri adalah warna kuning di sekitar matanya. Ikan ini dapat tumbuh sampai 14,6 cm (5,7 inch) saat dewasa. Spesies ini adalah pemakan algae baik di terumbu karang ataupun di ikan lain atau bahkan algae yang terdapat di cangkang kura-kura. Untuk akuarium, cukup masukkan satu ekor ikan jenis ini dalam satu akuarium, karena ikan ini akan agresif pada surgeonfish lainnya. 3. Genus Naso Terdapat beberapa spesies dari genus Naso salah satunya Naso lituratus atau disebut orange-spine surgeonfish. Dapat ditemukan di samudera Hindia dan Pasifik. Ciri utamanya adalah mulut dan pangkal ekor berwarna orange. Tubuh berwarna keabuan dan panjang tubuhnya bisa mencapai 45 cm saat dewasa. Dapat ditemukan di terumbu karang biasanya sepasang jantan dan betina. 4. Genus Paracanthurus Nah inilah ikan “Dory” yang sebenarnya di lautan. Paracanthurus hepatus atau disebut regal tang atau palette surgeonfish dapat ditemukan di samudera Pasifik, seperti di perairan Filipina, Indonesia, Jepang, Australia, Afrika dan Sri Lanka. Ciri khasnya adalah warna biru dengan corak hitam di bagian atasnya, serta ekor kuning. Panjang ikan ini bisa tumbuh sampai 30cm saat dewasa. Ikan jenis ini dapat hidup berpasangan atau beberapa dalam kelompok dengan spesies yang sama. Makanan utamanya adalah plankton dan algae. 5. Genus Prionurus Spesies dari genus ini yang terkenal adalah Prionurus laticlavius atau disebut razor surgeonfish dapat ditemukan di samudera Pasifik dengan ciri utamanya adalah ekor berwarna kuning dengan tubuh berwana abu-abu. Saat dewasa ikan ini dapat mencapai panjang sampai 60cm. 6. Genus Zebrasoma Zebrasoma flavescens atau disebut yellow tang ini dapat ditemukan di samudera Pasifik. Ikan ini berwarna kuning terang seluruhnya, dengan panjang maksimal saat dewasa mencapai 20cm (8 inch). Yellow tang merupakan surgeonfish yang paling umum untuk akuarium karena sifatnya masih mudah untuk dikembangbiakkan (breeding) di penangkaran ikan. Ikan ini memiliki kemampuan sangat baik untuk membersihkan pertumbuhan algae yang tidak diinginkan, serta sangat baik untuk dipelihara di akuarium medium hingga lebar. Beberapa jenis surgeonfish ini sangat sulit untuk dibreedingkan, jadi pilihlah ikan yang memang sudah dengan mudah dikembangbiakkan ataupun populasinya masih aman. Meskipun tampak indah di akuarium, jenis ikan tertentu memang sudah terancam kepunahan. Jadi bijaklah sebagai penghobi ikan hias. Jika anda memutuskan untuk menambahkan ikan ini dalam koleksi ikan di akuarium anda, pastikan untuk memberikan pakan yang sesuai karena sifat dasar surgeonfish ini adalah herbivora. Memberikan diet yang tidak sesuai akan beresiko terhadap kesehatan pencernaan ikan. PRODAC VEGETABLE BIOGRAN MARINE adalah fish food yang diformulasikan khusus untuk ikan herbivora termasuk surgeonfish. Dengan kandungan omega 3 dan 6 serta vitamin A, C, D3 dan E sangat baik untuk menjaga kekebalan tubuh ikan dan meningkatkan kualitas pertumbuhan dan warna ikan.

Prionurus chrysurus, a new species of surgeonfish (Acanth- uridae) from cool upwelled seas of southern Indonesia JohnE. Randall* * Bishop Museum, 1525 Bernice St., Honolulu, Hawaii 96817-2704, USA; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Prionurus chrysurus is described as a new species of acanthurid fish from two specimens taken inshore off eastern Bali. It is also known from a videotape taken of a school off Komodo. It is distinctive in having IX, 23 dorsal rays, III, 22 anal rays, 17 pectoral rays, 8-10 keeled midlateral bony plates posteriorly on the body, numerous small bony plates dorsoposteriorly on the body, and in color: brown with narrow orange-red bars on side of body and a yellow caudal fin. It has been observed only inshore in areas of upwelling where the sea temperature averaged about 23°C. This species is believed to be a glacial relic that had a broader distribution during an ice age but is now restricted to areas of upwelling.

  • Galápagos Macroalgae: a Review of the State of Ecological Knowledge
    SPECIAL ARTICLE Galápagos macroalgae: A review of the state of ecological knowledge Paul Tompkins & Matthias Wolff Leibniz-Zentrum für Marine Tropenökologie, Fahrenheitstr. 6, D-28359 Bremen, Germany; [email protected], [email protected] Received 17-II-2015. Corrected 24-VIII-2016. Accepted 29-IX-2016. Abstract: Previous work has highlighted the critical role of macroalgal productivity and dynamics in support- ing and structuring marine food webs. Spatio-temporal variability in macroalgae can alter coastal ecosystems, a relationship particularly visible along upwelling-influenced coastlines. As a result of its equatorial location and nutrient rich, upwelling-influenced waters, the Galápagos Archipelago in the East Pacific, hosts a productive and biodiverse marine ecosystem. Reports and collections of macroalgae date back to the Beagle voyage, and since then, more than three hundred species have been reported. However, their ecology and functional role in the ecosystem is not well understood. According to various disparate and in part anecdotal sources of informa- tion, abundant and diverse communities exist in the Western regions of the archipelago, the North is essentially barren, and in the central/South abundance and distribution is variable and less well defined. Both oceanographic conditions and herbivore influence have been theorized to cause this pattern. Extensive changes in macroalgal productivity and community composition have occurred during strong ENSO events, and subsequent declines in marine iguana (an endemic and iconic grazer) populations have been linked to these changes. Iguanas are only one species of a diverse and abundant group of marine grazers in the system, highlighting the potentially important role of macroalgal productivity in the marine food web.

Floyd Scott, Ben Beas Austin Peay State University, Clarksville, TN, USA The Effect of Cattle on Amphibian and Reptile Communities in West Tennessee We conducted ten years of reptile and amphibian surveys in western Tennessee to compare seasonal abundances of herpetofauna in habitats with access by cattle and habitats without access by cattle. Eighteen fishless ponds and their adjacent forested habitats were surveyed for amphibians and reptiles. Pond-dwelling amphibians were more abundant in habitats without cattle access, whereas, reptiles were more abundant in habitats with access by cattle. In cattle excluded habitats, Ambystoma talpoideum had a greater abundance and longer snout-vent length. In contrast, Diadophis punctatus were less abundance yet had longer snout-vent length in the same cattle excluded habitats. Areas with cattle access are associated with more open canopy habitat, which may create increased opportunities for thermoregulation in reptiles. Our results also suggest that cattle presence may alter the water quality of ponds and thus affect the abundance and body size of pond-dwelling amphibians. ______________________________________________________________________________ 0706 Fish Systematics I, Salon F-H, Saturday 9 July 2016 Katriina Ilves1, Hernán López-Fernández2 1Pace University, New York, NY, USA, 2Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, ON, Canada A Targeted Exon approach for (Neotropical) Cichlid Phylogenomics Here we present a targeted exon next-generation sequencing approach for investigating the evolutionary relationships of cichlid fishes (Cichlidae), with a particular focus on the Neotropical subfamily Cichlinae.

  • <I>Prionurus Laticlavius</I>
    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 78(2): 393–395, 2006 NOTE First rePorteD recorDS of PRIONURUS LATICLAVIUS (Perciformes: AcantHuriDae) from THE Gulf of California Oscar Trujillo-Millán, José De la Cruz-Agüero, and Juan F. Elorduy-Garay Seven species of surgeon fish inhabit the tropical easternP acific (TEP). From these, only five species have been reported from Mexico (other than the offshore islands): Acanthurus achilles Shaw 1803; Acanthurus nigricans (Linnaeus, 1758); Acanthur- us triostegus (Linnaeus, 1758); Acanthurus xanthopterus Valenciennes, 1835; and Prionurus punctatus Gill, 1862 (Allen and Robertson, 1994). The razor surgeonfish, Prionurus laticlavius (Valenciennes, 1846), the only other member of the genus in the TEP, has a confirmed range from Costa Rica to as far south as Ecuador, including offshore islands (Galápagos, Malpelo, Cocos, and Revillagigedo; Grove and Laven- berg, 1997; Robertson and Allen, 2002). Similar in appearance to P. punctatus, P. laticlavius can be distinguished by the lack of the numerous black spots. The razor surgeonfish is a reef-associated species that inhabits shallow waters, forming large schools at a depth range of 3–30 m. Here we report the first observations of the establishment of a razor surgeonfish population in the southern Gulf of California. Material and Methods From January 2003 to at least March 2005, several schools of numerous razor surgeonfish were sighted at four localities in the southern Baja California peninsula: Los Frailes (23º24′N, 109°24′W), Ensenada de Muertos (23°58′N, 109°49′W), San Juan de la Costa (24°22′N, 110°40′W), and around the Espíritu Santo Island (24º29′N, 110º21′W).

The jacks (Carangidae, 18 species) and the labrisomid blennies (Labrisomidae, 16) were the most speciose families. Most recorded species occur throughout the trop- ical eastern Pacific (160 species), while a significant proportion have wider ranges in the eastern Pacific (39), eastern Pa- cific and Indo-Pacific (39), eastern Pacific and Atlantic (3), or are circumtropical (39) in distribution. Three species occur in the Northeast Pacific, twenty-five are endemic to the Pacific coasts of Mexico, five are endemic to the Gulf of Califor- nia, and three are endemic to Islas Marías.
