  • Social Behaviour and Mating System of the Gobiid Fish Amblyeleotris Japonica
    Japanese Journal of Ichthyology 魚 類 学 雑 誌 Vol.28,No.41982 28巻4号1982年 Social Behaviour and Mating System of the Gobiid Fish Amblyeleotris japonica Yasunobu Yanagisawa (Received March 26,1981) Abstract The behaviour,social interactions and mating system of the gobiid fish Amblyeleotris japonica,that utilize the burrows dug by the snapping shrimp Alpheus bellulus as a sheltering and nesting site,were investigated at two localities on the southern coast of Japan.The fish spent most of their time in the area near the entrance of the burrow in daytime.Movements were limited to an area of about three metres in radius from the entrance.Aggressive encounters occurred between adjacent individuals sometimes resulting in changes of occupation of burrows. Males were more active in pair formation,whereas females were rather passive.Paris were usually maintained for several days or more,but some of them broke up without spawning.All the males that successfully spawned were larger ones that were socially dominant,and they re- mained within the burrow for four to seven days after spawning to care for a clutch of eggs. Variation in social interactions and burrow-use was recognized between two study populations and was attributed to the differences in predation pressure and density of burrows. A number of species of Gobiidae are known history and pair formation of the shrimp to live in the burrows of alpheid shrimps in Alpheus bellulus are described.In this study, tropical and subtropical waters(Luther,1958; the behaviour,social interactions and mating Klausewitz,1960,1969,1974a,b;Palmer,1963; system of its partner fish Amblyeleotris japonica Karplus et al.,1972a,b;Magnus,1967;Harada, are investigated and analyzed.

Abstract A checklist of shallow (to 60 m depth) reef fishes is provided for the Bird’s Head Peninsula region of West Papua, Indonesia. The area, which occupies the extreme western end of New Guinea, contains the world’s most diverse assemblage of coral reef fishes. The current checklist, which includes both historical records and recent survey results, includes 1,511 species in 451 genera and 111 families. Respective species totals for the three main coral reef areas – Raja Ampat Islands, Fakfak-Kaimana coast, and Cenderawasih Bay – are 1320, 995, and 877. In addition to its extraordinary species diversity, the region exhibits a remarkable level of endemism considering its relatively small area. A total of 26 species in 14 families are currently considered to be confined to the region.

  • Postsettlement Movement Patterns and Homing in a Coral-Associated Fish
    Behavioral Ecology doi:10.1093/beheco/arn118 Advance Access publication 24 September 2008 Postsettlement movement patterns and homing in a coral-associated fish Marlene Walla and Ju¨rgen Herlerb aDepartment of Marine Biology and bDepartment of Theoretical Biology, Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Vienna, Althanstrasse 14, A-1090 Vienna, Austria Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/beheco/article/20/1/87/213766 by guest on 25 September 2021 Coral-associated gobies are highly specialized reef fishes with high host-coral fidelity. Flexibility in habitat choice, however, is important to compensate for potential habitat alteration or loss, but detailed information about the postsettlement movement behavior of such gobies is lacking. We examined movement patterns in Gobiodon histrio, both under natural conditions and during subsequent field experiments, involving breeding pair or partner removal from 3 of the 4 investigation plots. Additionally, we investigated homing behavior, and 2 aquaria experiments were designed to assess home coral and partner recognition of adult fish taken from breeding pairs. Under natural conditions, the movement rate was high for single adults, whereas breeding pairs showed high home-coral fidelity. Manipulations revealed little change of natural patterns except in single adults, which slightly decreased their movement rate in the breeding pair removal plot. In the homing experiment, 17% of tested fish returned to their home coral even after displacement of 4 m, and homing success was much higher at shorter distances (100% at 0.5 m, 53% at 2.25 m). In the aquarium, G. histrio exhibited higher recognition of its home-coral colony (75%) than of its breeding pair partner (60%).

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.

    RESULTS OF A REEXAMINATION OF TYPES AND SPECIMENS OF GOBIOID FISHES, WITH NOTES ON THE FISHFAUNA OF THE SURROUNDINGS OF BATAVIA by Dr. F. P. KOUMANS Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden In preparing the volume of the Gobioidea in M. Weber and L. F. de Beaufort: The Fishes of the Indo-Australian Archipelago, several de- scribed species, collected in the Indo-Australian Archipelago or its surroundings, were not clear to me. Of a number of these the description was distinct enough to see what was meant with such a new species, but there were several species which I could not recognize from their description. Bleeker described a large number of new species, but, unfortunately, several of his descriptions are too vague to recognize the species. So many authors had described several species which proved, after comparison with Bleeker's type specimens or descriptions made after his types, to be either closely allied, or identical with species already described by Bleeker. In order to see whether the described species of authors were synonyms of already described species, or to reexamine the types in order to enlarge the descriptions, I visited several Museums and other Institutions in the United States of N. America, Honolulu, Australia, Philippines, Singapore and British India. During a stay in Batavia, I had the opportunity to make colour sketches of freshly-caught specimens and to go out and collect specimens myself. My visit to the different countries mentioned was made possible by a grant of the "Pieter Langerhuizen Lambertuszoon fonds", endowed by the "Hollandsche Maatschappij der Wetenschappen". During these visits I received great help and friendship of the staff of the Museums and Institutions, for which I am very thankful.

  • A BEHAVIORAL STUDY of the HAWAIIAN GOBY-SHRIMP RELATIONSHIP and the EFFECTS of Predanon on the SYSTEM
    A BEHAVIORAL STUDY OF THE HAWAIIAN GOBY-SHRIMP RELATIONSHIP AND THE EFFECTS OF PREDAnON ON THE SYSTEM A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE IN ZOOLOGY AUGUST 2005 By Robert Paul Nelson Thesis Committee: Jim Parrish Julie Bailey-Brock Tim Tricas Acknowledgments: I'd like to thank first and foremost my advisor Dr. J.D. Parrish for all his help in organizing and funding the project and reviewing my manuscript. Thanks to my committee members, Dr. Tim Tricas and Dr. Julie Bailey-Brock. Dr. Andrew Thompson helped in reviewing the manuscript. Mahalo to Casey Kaneshiro, Tyler Bouland and Rami Huiguas for collecting most of the daily rhythm cycle data. I also wish to express thanks for help from Georgi Kinsela, Jan Dierking, Katja Wunderbar, and Jeff Whitehurst. 111 Abstract The belief that the relationship between certain gobies and snapping shrimp (Alpheidae) is mutualistic typically includes the assumption that predation is a selective force driving the co-evolution of the relationship. In this study, I first showed the importance of the Hawaiian shrimp goby (Psilogobius mainlandi) to the sheltering behavior of its associated alpheid shrimp.
