There are totally 361 recorded species of gobioid fishes belonging to 113 genera, 5 subfamilies, and 9 families. This gobioid fauna of China comprises 16.2% of 2211 known living gobioid species of the world. This report repre- sents a summary of previous researches on the suborder Gobioidei. A recently diagnosed subfamily, Polyspondylogobiinae, were assigned from the type genus and type species: Polyspondylogobius sinen- sis Kimura & Wu, 1994 which collected around the Pearl River Delta with high extremity of vertebral count up to 52-54.

Patterns of Evolution in Gobies (Teleostei: Gobiidae): a Multi-Scale Phylogenetic Investigation
PATTERNS OF EVOLUTION IN GOBIES (TELEOSTEI: GOBIIDAE): A MULTI-SCALE PHYLOGENETIC INVESTIGATION A Dissertation by LUKE MICHAEL TORNABENE BS, Hofstra University, 2007 MS, Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, 2010 Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in MARINE BIOLOGY Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi Corpus Christi, Texas December 2014 © Luke Michael Tornabene All Rights Reserved December 2014 PATTERNS OF EVOLUTION IN GOBIES (TELEOSTEI: GOBIIDAE): A MULTI-SCALE PHYLOGENETIC INVESTIGATION A Dissertation by LUKE MICHAEL TORNABENE This dissertation meets the standards for scope and quality of Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi and is hereby approved. Frank L. Pezold, PhD Chris Bird, PhD Chair Committee Member Kevin W. Conway, PhD James D. Hogan, PhD Committee Member Committee Member Lea-Der Chen, PhD Graduate Faculty Representative December 2014 ABSTRACT The family of fishes commonly known as gobies (Teleostei: Gobiidae) is one of the most diverse lineages of vertebrates in the world. With more than 1700 species of gobies spread among more than 200 genera, gobies are the most species-rich family of marine fishes. Gobies can be found in nearly every aquatic habitat on earth, and are often the most diverse and numerically abundant fishes in tropical and subtropical habitats, especially coral reefs. Their remarkable taxonomic, morphological and ecological diversity make them an ideal model group for studying the processes driving taxonomic and phenotypic diversification in aquatic vertebrates. Unfortunately the phylogenetic relationships of many groups of gobies are poorly resolved, obscuring our understanding of the evolution of their ecological diversity. This dissertation is a multi-scale phylogenetic study that aims to clarify phylogenetic relationships across the Gobiidae and demonstrate the utility of this family for studies of macroevolution and speciation at multiple evolutionary timescales.

Patent Landscape Report: Marine Genetic Resources
Patent Landscape Report: Marine Genetic Resources The WIPO patent landscape report project is based on the Development Agenda project DA_19_30_31_01 “Developing Tools for Access to Patent Information” described in document CDIP/4/6, adopted by the Committee on Development and Intellectual Property (CDIP) at its fourth session held from November 16 to November 20, 2009. The purpose of each report is three fold : • It attempts to research and describe the patterns of patenting and innovation activity related to specific technologies in various domains such as health, food and agriculture, climate change related technologies, and others. • WIPO attempts to collaborate for each report with institutional partners (IGOs, NGOs, public institutions of Member States) working in the respec- tive field and having an interest in a specific topic. The collaborative work in the planning and evaluation phases may also serve as a vehicle for these institutions to familiarize themselves with the utilization and exploitation of patent information and related issues of patent protection. WIPO welcomes proposals for collaboration. • Each report also serves as an illustrative example for retrieving patent in- formation in the respective field and how search strategies may be tailored accordingly. It therefore includes detailed explanations of the particular search methodology, the databases used and well documented search queries that should ideally enable the reader to conduct a similar search. Each report of this project is contracted out to an external firm selected in a tendering procedure. The tender is open to a limited number of bidders that were pre-selected based on their submission of an Expression of Interest (EOI).

Identification of Invasive Alien Species Using DNA Barcodes
Identification of Invasive Alien Species using DNA barcodes Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences Royal Museum for Central Africa Rue Vautier 29, Leuvensesteenweg 13, 1000 Brussels , Belgium 3080 Tervuren, Belgium +32 (0)2 627 41 23 +32 (0)2 769 58 54 General introduction to this factsheet The Barcoding Facility for Organisms and Tissues of Policy Concern (BopCo) aims at developing an expertise forum to facilitate the identification of biological samples of policy concern in Belgium and Europe. The project represents part of the Belgian federal contribution to the European Research Infrastructure Consortium LifeWatch. Non-native species which are being introduced into Europe, whether by accident or deliberately, can be of policy concern since some of them can reproduce and disperse rapidly in a new territory, establish viable populations and even outcompete native species. As a consequence of their presence, natural and managed ecosystems can be disrupted, crops and livestock affected, and vector-borne diseases or parasites might be introduced, impacting human health and socio-economic activities. Non-native species causing such adverse effects are called Invasive Alien Species (IAS). In order to protect native biodiversity and ecosystems, and to mitigate the potential impact on human health and socio-economic activities, the issue of IAS is tackled in Europe by EU Regulation 1143/2014 of the European Parliament and Council. The IAS Regulation provides for a set of measures to be taken across all member states. The list of Invasive Alien Species of Union Concern is regularly updated. In order to implement the proposed actions, however, methods for accurate species identification are required when suspicious biological material is encountered.

A Revision of the Eleotrid Goby Genus Odontobutis in Japan,Korea and China
Japanese Journal of Ichthyology Vol.31,No.41985 魚類学雑誌 31巻4号1985年 A Revision of the Eleotrid Goby Genus Odontobutis in Japan,Korea and China Akihisa Iwata,Sang-Rin Jeon,Nobuhiko Mizuno and Ki-Chul Choi Received May 16,1984) ( Abstract The eleotrid goby genus Odontobutis in Japan,Korea and China is represented by two species and three subspecies i.e., O.obscura obscura,O.o.potamophila,O.o.interrupta subsp.nov. and O.platycephala sp.nov.The genus is characterized by the presence of smooth,feeble crests on the dorsal sides of the eyes,by the absence of a spine on the preopercle,by the absence of teeth on the vomer,by the wide gill openings,by the larger interorbital width to eye diameter ratio and by the predorsal scales which extend forward on the upper surface of the head to between the hind nostrils. Odontobutis platycephala is distinguished from 0.obscura by the presence of two sensory canals on the preoperculomandibular pit line.0.o.potamophila and O.o.interrupta are disin - guished from O.o.obscura by the presence of one postocular sensory canal on the supraorbital pit line.O.o.interrupta is distinguished from 0.o.potamophila by the infraorbital connected to the verticalantorbital pit line and the interrupted cross bands on the body.Each of O.o.obscura, O.o.interrupta and O.o.potamophila is distributed in western Japan,the western coastal slope of Korea and China,respectively.O.platycephala occurs throughout Korea except along the northern coast. The eleotrid goby genus Odontobutis has been Nichols(1943)recognized E.potamophila as represented by only one species,O.obscura different from O.obscura and changed the (Temminck et Schlegel),distributed throughout generic name of potamophila from Odontobutis the freshwaters of Japan,Korea,China and the to Philypnus.
