Generally, in this group, the upper jaw consists of the premaxilla, maxilla, and supramaxilla. The lower jaw consists of the dentary, anguloarticular, retroarticular, and sesamoid articular. In higher taxa, the premaxilla bears ascending, articular, and postmaxillary processes. The maxilla usually bears a ventral and a dorsal articular process. The supramaxilla is present only in some taxa. The dentary is usually toothed and bears coronoid and posteroventral processes. The retroarticular is small and located at the posteroventral corner of the anguloarticular. Keywords Acanthopterygii, Bone, Eurypterygii, Osteology, Percomprpha following method for clearing and staining bone and 1. Introduction cartilage provided in reference [18]. A camera lucida attached to a Wild M5 dissecting stereomicroscope was used Despite the introduction of modern techniques such as to prepare the drawings. The bones in the first figure of each DNA sequencing and barcoding, osteology, due to its anatomical section are arbitrarily shaded and labeled and in reliability, still plays an important role in the systematic the others are shaded in a consistent manner (dark, medium, study of fishes and comprises a major percent of today’s and clear) to facilitate comparison among the taxa.

COAD Canadian Museum of Nature, Ottawa, Ontario, K1P 6P4 Canada. Email: [email protected] Abstract: The systematics, morphology, distribution, biology, economic importance and conservation of the sticklebacks and pipefishes of Iran are described, the species are illustrated, and a bibliography on these fishes is provided. There are two sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus, an exotic, and Pungitius platygaster, a native) and one native pipefish (Syngnathus caspius), the natives found in the Caspian Sea basin and the exotic in that basin and adjacent basins. The family Gasterosteidae is characterised by a compressed, fusiform body, teeth in bands in each jaw but none on the tongue or palate, a protractile mouth, 3 branchiostegal rays, no postcleithrum, no scales but a series of plates along the flank variably developed, sometimes absent, 2 or more (usually 3-16) isolated spines in front of a soft dorsal fin (usually 6-14 rays), and a pelvic fin with a strong spine and only 0-2 soft rays. The body of pipefishes of the family Syngnathidae is characteristic, being very thin and very elongated, and enclosed in bony rings as a form of armour. The body is divided into a trunk and a tail, the tail being prehensile in seahorses. The first trunk ring has the pectoral fin base and the last has the anus in it.

  • Taxonomic Review of the Genus Pungitius, Ninespine Sticklebacks (Gasterosteidae)
    TAXONOMIC REVIEW OF THE GENUS PUNGITIUS, NINESPINE STICKLEBACKS (GASTEROSTEIDAE) by Yazdan KEIVANY & Joseph S. NELSON (1) ABSTRACT.!-!The number of valid species in the genus Pungitius is uncertain due to the wide geographic variation in morphology and plasticity of many characters. Currently, two to eight species are recognized. Keivany et al. (1997) confirmed the validity of P. hellenicus and recognized three valid species in Pungitius, namely, P. hellenicus, P. platygaster, and P. pungitius. In order to assess the taxonomic status of various nominal taxa, we examined 266 specimens of the five nominal species often referred to as P. pungitius complex; P. laevis, P. pungitius, P. tymensis, P. sinensis, and P. occidentalis. Osteology and some meristic features of the nominal taxa were studied and morphometric characters are discussed. We find no evidence to justify recognizing four of the nominal species as valid, however, we recognize five valid subspecies in P. pungitius; P. p. laevis, P. p. pungitius, P. p. tymensis, P. p. sinensis, and P. p. occidentalis. The three species and five subspecies are described, a key to the species and subspecies is provided, and the taxonomy of the taxa is discussed.

(Hons) (Hull 2007) M.Sc. (Hull 2008) October 2013 ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Firstly, I would like to thank the University of Hull for funding this study through the 80th Anniversary PhD Scholarship. I am also especially grateful to my supervisor Professor Ian Cowx for his guidance and encouragement during this study. Many thanks are also due to the following members of HIFI, Dr Jon Harvey, Dr Richard Noble, Dr Andy Nunn, Dr Jon Bolland, Dr Ryan Taylor, Dr Lauren Tewson, Michelle Smith, Sam Walton, Karen Twine, Andrea Robson, Marcela Portocarrero Aya, Marie Taylor and Sam Bartlett for their assistance in data collection. In addition, I would like to express my appreciation to the Environment Agency, Wild Trout Trust, East Yorkshire Chalk Rivers Trust, Trent Rivers Trust, National Trust, land and fishery owners for their cooperation throughout the course of this study. Finally, I would like to thank my parents Alex and Ann Angelopoulos and my sister Tania Angelopoulos who have helped me stay positive throughout the course of this study and to Tom Anderton for his understanding and patience over the years. iii ABSTRACT IDENTIFYING LIMITATIONS OF MONITORING THE SUCCESS OF RIVER REHABILITATION SCHEMES FOR FRESHWATER FISH Hydromorphological degradation impacts on habitat availability for biota in rivers. Degradation occurs as a consequence of multiple pressures driven by anthropogenic actions such as agriculture, urbanisation, industry, water supply, flood protection, navigation and transportation, fisheries and recreation.

Its population has declined by more than 30% in the past 10 years due to river regulation and drainage of wetlands for agriculture which resulted in a reduced number of backwaters. This species is therefore classed as Vulnerable. Photograph © Andreas Hartl.
