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.

    604 Evolution & Ontology Symposium, Grand Ballroom I, Saturday 25 July 2009 Paula Mabee University of South Dakota, Vermillion, SD, United States Phenoscape: Using Ontologies to Link Comparative Morphology to Genes Decades of comparative anatomical studies in ichthyology and herpetology have resulted in a rich body of ‘free-text’ data. As these data grow, they are increasingly hard to align and synthesize across taxonomic groups, and synthetic questions concerning the developmental and genetic basis of evolutionary changes in morphology cannot be easily or efficiently addressed. In order for this volume of comparative anatomical data to be analyzed in a developmental genetic context, it must first be rendered computable. One way to achieve this is to use ontologies. Using ostariophysan fishes as a prototype, the Phenoscape project has developed a system that includes ontologies representing expert knowledge of anatomy and taxonomy (the Teleost Anatomy Ontology and the Teleost Taxonomy Ontology), software for data curation (Phenex), and a knowledgebase that supports ontology-based reasoning about evolutionary phenotype data (PhenoscapeKB, http://phenoscape.org/kb). To date, over 5,000 characters from the phylogenetic literature have been annotated for 8,300 species, resulting in over eight million annotated phenotypes. PhenoscapeKB combines these evolutionary phenotypes with information about genetically characterized phenotype from ZFIN, the zebrafish community database. Through ontology-based reasoning over expert knowledge in taxonomy,

    ADEON Recovery/Deployment Cruise Report #EN615 - RV Endeavor 06 – 25 June 2018 San Juan, Puerto Rico to Narragansett, RI Chief Scientist Joseph Warren, Jennifer Miksis-Olds, Carmen Lawrence, Brandyn Lucca, Hannah Blair, Sebastian Velez, Cassandra Fries, Peter Larios, Madison Alstede, Stephen Ell, 1 Jennifer Conyers, Andrew Heaney, Lindsay Olson, and Katharine Coykendall Cruise Summary The objectives for this cruise were to recover bottom landers at seven sites (Figure 1) along the shelfbreak (depths ranging from 200 – 900 m roughly), redeploy a bottom lander at each site after downloading its data, collect CTD profiles to characterize hydrographic conditions at the sites, conduct net sampling to collect biological specimens at each site, and conduct fine-scale (roughly 8 km by 8 km) multi-frequency acoustic surveys at each site (Figure 2). All cruise objectives were completed safely. In addition, we collected animal specimens from net tows for collaborators associated with the DEEP SEARCH project as well as collecting water samples for eDNA analysis for DEEP SEARCH and other collaborators. Water samples were also collected by a UNH undergraduate in support of her capstone paper. We were fortunate to have good weather for much of the cruise which allowed us to complete additional net tows, CTD, and fine-scale acoustic surveys at some sites (Table 1). We appreciate the excellent work of the ship’s Captain and crew (in all aspects on the boat) in helping us to accomplish our cruise objectives. Table 1. Summary of sampling that occurred at each site location during the EN615 research cruise. We were able to accomplish additional sampling at the VAC and HAT sites.

  • Description of a New Deep-Sea Fish of the Genus Rondeletia from Japan
    Japanese Journal of Ichthyology 魚 類 学 雑 誌 Vol.X,Nos.2/6 第10巻 第2/6号 September 30,1963 1963年9月30日 発 行 Description of a New Deep-Sea Fish of the Genus Rondeletia from Japan Tokiharu ABE and Hideyuki HOTTA Thanks to the cooperation of Mr. Yasoji ENDO, a specimen of a rare deep-sea fish resembling Rondeletia bicolor GOODE & BEAN of the family Rondeletiidae has been received for study. The specimen was caught early in October, 1962, 30 miles off Kesen-numa, Miyagi Prefecture, by the "Tomoe-maru"(two-boat-type trawler), at a depth of 750m., and was preserved in formalin till February 7, 1963, when the red color of the buccal cavity and some other parts of the body still remained re minding the senior author of the colored plate given by BEEBE and of the reproduced plate published by HARRY of the "giant-mouthed orange skin", Rondeletia bicolor. But close examination of the specimen has revealed that it represents a different species which is believed to be new to science. The authors take pleasure in ex pressing here their cordial thanks to Mr. ENDO for his cooperation. Rondeletia loricata, new species Akatchokki-kudjirauo*(new Japanese name) P1. XI, figs. 1-7, p1.
