Findings are compared to historical studies, 52 focusing on extensive surveys from the 1960s and 1970s. Molluscan species of public health 53 significance are identified based on their potential as vectors of algal toxins in light of the recent 54 occurrence of harmful algal blooms (HABs) in the region. Habitats sampled included intertidal 55 sand or gravel beaches, rocks and jetties, sheltered soft-sediment flats and mangroves, and shallow 56 subtidal coral reefs.

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.

  • Atlas Over Danske Saltvandsfisk Spidstandet Blankesten
    Atlas over danske saltvandsfisk Spidstandet blankesten Pagellus bogaraveo (Brünnich, 1768) Af Henrik Carl Spidstandet blankesten på 32,3 cm fra fiskehandler på Sicilien, 16. juli 2016. © Henrik Carl. Projektet er finansieret af Aage V. Jensen Naturfond Alle rettigheder forbeholdes. Det er tilladt at gengive korte stykker af teksten med tydelig kildehenvisning. Teksten bedes citeret således: Carl, H. 2017. Atlas over danske saltvandsfisk – Spidstandet blankesten. Statens Naturhistoriske Museum. Online-udgivelse, november 2017. Systematik og navngivning Arten blev oprindelig beskrevet som Sparus bogaraveo Brünnich, 1768. Senere blev den flyttet til slægten Pagellus Valenciennes, 1830. Med den nuværende systematik omfatter slægten seks arter (Froese & Pauly 2015), hvoraf tre kendes fra danske farvande. Foruden spidstandet blankesten drejer det sig om rød blankesten (P. erythrinus) og akarnanisk blankesten (P. acarne). I hovedparten af litteraturen fra 1800-tallet og størstedelen af 1900-tallet optræder den spidstandede blankesten imidlertid under navnet Pagellus centrodontus Delaroche, 1809. Genetiske undersøgelser tyder på, at arten er tættest beslægtet med akarnanisk blankesten (Linde et al. 2004). Det officielle danske navn er spidstandet blankesten (Carl et al. 2004) – og det er et navn, der er blevet brugt siden første halvdel af 1800-tallet (Krøyer 1838-40). Navnet er en oversættelse af det tidligere brugte artsnavn ”centrodontus”. I lidt ældre bøger optræder den under navne som almindelig blankesten, rød havrude og spansk blankesten. Ingen af disse bør bruges, og specielt de to førstnævnte er uheldige, da de også er de officielle danske navne for henholdsvis Pagrus pagrus og Dentex gibbosus. Selve navnet blankesten er brugt om havruder helt tilbage i 1700-tallet (Brünnich 1771), og det bruges nu om arter fra fire forskellige slægter.

The list 24 is based on historical literature records and new revisions. The ichthyofauna list is 25 composed by 397 species very diversified in 2 superclass, 3 class, 35 orders, 139 1 1 families and 288 genus. The order Perciformes is the most diverse one with 37 families, 2 91 genus and 135 species. Gobiidae (19 species) and Sparidae (19 species) are the 3 richest families. Biogeographically, the Lusitanian group includes 203 species (51.1%), 4 followed by 149 species of the Atlantic (37.5%), then 28 of the Boreal (7.1%), and 17 5 of the African (4.3%) groups. We have recognized 41 new records, and 3 other records 6 have been identified as doubtful.

Brazilian flathead Percophis brasiliensis is a commercially important perciform fish caught as bycatch by trawlers throughout its latitudinal distribution range (from 23° S in Brazil to 47° S in Argentina). It is associated with the catches of Argentine hake Merluccius hubbsi and Patagonian red shrimp Pleocticus muelleri in San Matías Gulf (SMG). The main objective of this study was to describe the first data on the growth of this species in SMG and to compare the results with available information for other areas of the Argentine Continental Shelf (ACS).

In the Caribbean, populations of Nassau grouper Epinephelus striatus have declined due to fishing impacts on spawning aggregations. Despite local and regional efforts by fisheries man- agers to implement regulations protecting spawning aggregations, few Nassau grouper popula- tions appear to be recovering. In order to improve management strategies for this critically endan- gered species, it is necessary to understand the spatial ecology of the species across seasons and years. In the Cayman Islands, we used a multi-year, presence/absence, depth-coded acoustic tag- ging dataset of Nassau grouper to characterize patterns in the species’ behavior and vertical habi- tat use at home reef sites.
