A total of 32 transect counts were per- formed. Habitats sampled included sandy bottom, rocky boulders, vertical walls and rocky outcrops. Species richness, diversity, density, trophic structure, size and spatial organization were documented for the fish assemblages. Forty-four species from 23 families were encountered; 32% belonged to Sparidae (10) and Labridae (four). The greatest species richness (25) was observed in rocky boulder habitat at 10–15 m depth, while the lowest (five) occurred over a deeper sand habitat. The greatest density (760Á5 individuals per 100 m2) was recorded over rocky outcropping (20–25 m deep), and the lowest of 11Á6 individuals per 100 m2 was over a sand bottom at 10–15 m depth. Thalassoma pavo, Abudefduf luridus and Chromis limbata had higher densities on hard bottoms, while Heteroconger longissimus was the most abundant species in sand bottom habitats.

  • Lysmata Amboinensis (De Man, 1888)
    Lysmata amboinensis (de Man, 1888) B. Santhosh, M. K. Anil and Biji Xavier IDENTIFICATION Order : Decapoda Family : Lysmatidae Common/FAO : Pacific cleaner Name (English) shrimp Local names:names Not available MORPHOLOGICAL DESCRIPTION The Pacific cleaner shrimp is easily identified by its colour patterns. The body is light brown with one white band dorsally and two red bands laterally running longitudinally. The tail has two white spots on either side. The antennae are white in colour and the first pair has red coloured base. It grows up to a maximum of 6 cm. Source of image : RC CMFRI, Vizhinjam 363 PROFILE GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION Scarlet cleaner shrimp or Pacific cleaner shrimp is one of the most popular species of ornamental crustaceans distributed in the waters of the Indo-Pacific region in Indonesia and Sri Lanka. HABITAT AND BIOLOGY It is one of the popular marine shrimp, associated with coral reefs and compatible with smaller sized marine ornamental fishes. It hides in the near shore, shallow and protected areas within a temperature range of 25-30 °C. In the Indo-Pacific areas and the Red Sea, it is mostly found in caves and crevices of coral reefs. It especially needs shelter from predators when it is moulting. It is an omnivore and a scavenger and often feeds on the external parasites of fishes. As its name indicates, this species cleans fishes including moray eels and groupers feeding on their external parasites as well as on mucous and dead or injured tissue. The shrimp moults once every 3-8 weeks and spawns regularly every 2-3 weeks.

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.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A new peppermint shrimp species, Lysmata jundalini sp. nov., is described based on five specimens collected in shallow subtidal waters on Enrique Reef at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez Isla, Magueyes Laboratories. Lysmata jund- alini sp. nov. was identified from fresh material collected at the reef crest and back reef among coral rubble in June 2005 and April 2009. The new species is most closely related to the Atlantic Lysmata intermedia and eastern Pacific L. holthu- isi. It can be readily distinguished from all those in the genus Lysmata by its color pattern, the presence of a well developed accessory branch, the number of free vs. fused segments of the accessory branch, the number of carpal segments of the second pereiopod and well developed pterygostomian tooth. Key words: Hermaphrodite, Lysmata intermedia complex, cryptic taxa Introduction The caridean shrimp genus Lysmata Risso, 1816 is commonly placed within the family Hippolytidae Bate, 1888.

  • Age Estimation and Growth Pattern of the Island Grouper, Mycteroperca Fusca (Serranidae) in an Island Population on the Northwest Coast of Africa

PAJUELO Departamento de Biología, Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Campus Universitario de Tafira, Edificio de Ciencias Básicas, 35017 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain. E-mail: [email protected]. SUMMARY: Mycteroperca fusca is one of the main predators of the Canarian archipelago coastal marine ecosystem. Noth- ing is known on the life history or population dynamics of this predatory serranid fish. In this study, age and growth of M. fusca were investigated by annual growth increment counts from 214 fish collected between January 2004 and December 2005. A year’s growth is represented by one opaque and one translucent ring. The island grouper is a slow-growing and long-lived species, with ages up to twenty years recorded. Length at age was described by the von Bertalanffy growth -1 model (L∞=898 mm; k=0.062 year ; and t0= −3.83 year), the Schnute growth model (y1=262 mm; y2=707 mm; a=0.008; -1 and b=1.98), and the seasonalised von Bertalanffy growth model (L∞=908 mm; k=0.061 year ; t0= −3.83 year; C=2.58; and ts=0.542). Males and females show differences in growth. Keywords: Mycteroperca fusca, grouper, age, growth, otoliths.

If an ESA petition is found to present substantial scientific or commercial information that the petitioned action may be warranted, a status review shall be promptly commenced (16 U.S.C. 1533(b)(3)(A)). NMFS determined that for 27 of the 81 species, including the island grouper (Mycteroperca fusca), the petition had sufficient merit for consideration and that a status review was warranted (79 FR 10104, February 24, 2014).
