  • BONY FISHES 602 Bony Fishes
    click for previous page BONY FISHES 602 Bony Fishes GENERAL REMARKS by K.E. Carpenter, Old Dominion University, Virginia, USA ony fishes constitute the bulk, by far, of both the diversity and total landings of marine organisms encoun- Btered in fisheries of the Western Central Atlantic.They are found in all macrofaunal marine and estuarine habitats and exhibit a lavish array of adaptations to these environments. This extreme diversity of form and taxa presents an exceptional challenge for identification. There are 30 orders and 269 families of bony fishes presented in this guide, representing all families known from the area. Each order and family presents a unique suite of taxonomic problems and relevant characters. The purpose of this preliminary section on technical terms and guide to orders and families is to serve as an introduction and initial identification guide to this taxonomic diversity. It should also serve as a general reference for those features most commonly used in identification of bony fishes throughout the remaining volumes. However, I cannot begin to introduce the many facets of fish biology relevant to understanding the diversity of fishes in a few pages. For this, the reader is directed to one of the several general texts on fish biology such as the ones by Bond (1996), Moyle and Cech (1996), and Helfman et al.(1997) listed below. A general introduction to the fisheries of bony fishes in this region is given in the introduction to these volumes. Taxonomic details relevant to a specific family are explained under each of the appropriate family sections. The classification of bony fishes continues to transform as our knowledge of their evolutionary relationships improves.

McEachran, TexasA&MUniversity, USA and M.R. de Carvalho, American Museum of Natural History, New York, USA iagnostic characters:Medium to large-sized stingrays (maximum disc width over 2 m).Body strongly de- Dpressed, with head, trunk, and broadly expanded pectoral fins forming rhomboid disc. Disc at least 1.5 times broad as long. Tail very slender and short (shorter than disc), distinctly demarcated from disc.Pec- toral fins continuous along sides of head, not forming subrostral lobes or cephalic fins.Eyes and spira- cles on top of head.

  • Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean Volume
    ISBN 0-9689167-4-x Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean (Davis Strait, Southern Greenland and Flemish Cap to Cape Hatteras) Volume One Acipenseriformes through Syngnathiformes Michael P. Fahay ii Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean iii Dedication This monograph is dedicated to those highly skilled larval fish illustrators whose talents and efforts have greatly facilitated the study of fish ontogeny. The works of many of those fine illustrators grace these pages. iv Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean v Preface The contents of this monograph are a revision and update of an earlier atlas describing the eggs and larvae of western Atlantic marine fishes occurring between the Scotian Shelf and Cape Hatteras, North Carolina (Fahay, 1983). The three-fold increase in the total num- ber of species covered in the current compilation is the result of both a larger study area and a recent increase in published ontogenetic studies of fishes by many authors and students of the morphology of early stages of marine fishes. It is a tribute to the efforts of those authors that the ontogeny of greater than 70% of species known from the western North Atlantic Ocean is now well described. Michael Fahay 241 Sabino Road West Bath, Maine 04530 U.S.A. vi Acknowledgements I greatly appreciate the help provided by a number of very knowledgeable friends and colleagues dur- ing the preparation of this monograph. Jon Hare undertook a painstakingly critical review of the entire monograph, corrected omissions, inconsistencies, and errors of fact, and made suggestions which markedly improved its organization and presentation.

  • A New Species of Cretaceous Acanthomorph from Canada 15 February 2016, by Sarah Gibson
    A new species of Cretaceous acanthomorph from Canada 15 February 2016, by Sarah Gibson to sit flush along the body, helping the fish swim faster by reducing drag, or they can be extended completely out to act as a defense mechanism, in case you are a predator looking for a quick bite. Near the base of the Acanthomorpha phylogenetic tree is a small group of fishes, Polymixiiformes, comprised of a single living genus, Polymixia, more commonly known as the beardfish. This innocuous fish seems harmless, but according to many ichthyologists, Polymixia is just one key to understanding acanthomorph relationships. Unraveling the evolutionary relationships is difficult with a single living genus, but thankfully, polymixiiforms have a fossil record dating back to the Cretaceous, containing an increasing number of taxa as new discoveries are being made, particularly in deposits in North America, where fewer acanthomorph fossils are known compared to Figuring out fish relationships is no small feat. Credit: the more-studied Eastern Tethys Ocean deposits in Near et al. 2013 Europe. For being one of the largest groups of vertebrates, and having one of the richer fossil records among organisms, the relationships of fishes are still hotly debated. Humongous datasets are being compiled that involve molecular (both nuclear and mitochondrial) data, compared and contrasted with thorough morphological analyses. (I'm not going to get into all of it here, simply because of its sheer complexity.) What I am going to get into, however, is the fossil record of one subset of fishes, the acanthomorphs. The stout beardfish, Polymixia nobilis. Credit: Wikipedia Acanthomorphs are teleost fishes that possess true fin spines: a set of prominent, sharp, unsegmented spines in the front portion of their dorsal and/or anal fins, followed by a portion of One such new species was recently described by pliable, segmented, "softer" looking rays.

Paterson1 & Robert Poulin2 1Ecology and Entomology Group, Lincoln University, PO Box 84, Lincoln, New Zealand 2Department of Zoology, University of Otago, PO Box 56, Dunedin, New Zealand Accepted for publication 26th October, 1998 Abstract Chondracanthid copepods parasitise many teleost species and have a mobile larval stage. It has been suggested that copepod parasites, with free-living infective stages that infect hosts by attaching to their external surfaces, will have co-evolved with their hosts. We examined copepods from the genus Chondracanthus and their teleost hosts for evidence of a close co-evolutionary association by comparing host and parasite phylogenies using TreeMap analysis. In general, significant co-speciation was observed and instances of host switching were rare. The preva- lence of intra-host speciation events was high relative to other such studies and may relate to the large geographical distances over which hosts are spread.

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.

  • First Record of the Snake Blenny, Ophidion Rochei Müller, 1845 (Actinopterygii: Ophidiiformes: Ophidiidae), from the Sea of Azov
    J. Black Sea/Mediterranean Environment Vol. 26, No. 3: 336-342 (2020) SHORT COMMUNICATION First record of the snake blenny, Ophidion rochei Müller, 1845 (Actinopterygii: Ophidiiformes: Ophidiidae), from the Sea of Azov Oleg A. Diripasko*, Viktoriia D. Hetmanenko, Vladislav I. Kyrychenko ORCID IDs: O.A.D. 0000-0001-9267-5504; V.D.H. 0000-0002-2167-7331; V.I.K. 0000-0002-7535-0078 Institute of Fisheries and Marine Ecology, Berdyansk, UKRAINE *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The first record of an Atlantic origin species, the Roche’s snake blenny Ophidion rochei Müller, 1845, in the Black Sea is provided from the south-east Sea of Azov. Its appearance in the Sea of Azov can be explained by the increase in water salinity of the sea in recent years. Keywords: Black Sea, Kerch Strait, first record, distribution, marine fish Received: 17.08.2020, Accepted: 28.11.2020 The Sea of Azov is a small and shallow enclosed sea connected to the north- eastern Black Sea through a narrow strait, the Kerch Strait, and thus belonging to the Mediterranean system of the northern Atlantic Ocean. Its main hydrological feature is low salinity (1–10‰) due to a large freshwater discharge by rivers and limited water exchange with the more saline (17–18‰) Black Sea. Salinity in the Sea of Azov is variable – lower in the large bays adjacent to the Don and Kuban river mouths and higher in the open sea, especially near the Kerch Strait. Besides, it is characterized by long-term fluctuations, both on average and in different areas, due to, mainly, freshwater discharge.
