Diverse Deep-Sea Anglerfishes Share a Genetically Reduced Luminous
RESEARCH ARTICLE Diverse deep-sea anglerfishes share a genetically reduced luminous symbiont that is acquired from the environment Lydia J Baker1*, Lindsay L Freed2, Cole G Easson2,3, Jose V Lopez2, Dante´ Fenolio4, Tracey T Sutton2, Spencer V Nyholm5, Tory A Hendry1* 1Department of Microbiology, Cornell University, New York, United States; 2Halmos College of Natural Sciences and Oceanography, Nova Southeastern University, Fort Lauderdale, United States; 3Department of Biology, Middle Tennessee State University, Murfreesboro, United States; 4Center for Conservation and Research, San Antonio Zoo, San Antonio, United States; 5Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, University of Connecticut, Storrs, United States Abstract Deep-sea anglerfishes are relatively abundant and diverse, but their luminescent bacterial symbionts remain enigmatic. The genomes of two symbiont species have qualities common to vertically transmitted, host-dependent bacteria. However, a number of traits suggest that these symbionts may be environmentally acquired. To determine how anglerfish symbionts are transmitted, we analyzed bacteria-host codivergence across six diverse anglerfish genera. Most of the anglerfish species surveyed shared a common species of symbiont. Only one other symbiont species was found, which had a specific relationship with one anglerfish species, Cryptopsaras couesii. Host and symbiont phylogenies lacked congruence, and there was no statistical support for codivergence broadly. We also recovered symbiont-specific gene sequences from water collected near hosts, suggesting environmental persistence of symbionts. Based on these results we conclude that diverse anglerfishes share symbionts that are acquired from the environment, and *For correspondence: that these bacteria have undergone extreme genome reduction although they are not vertically [email protected] (LJB); transmitted.

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.

Anglerfish Ageing Guide
ANGLERFISH AGEING GUIDE by Duarte, R., Landa, J., Quincoces, I., Dupouy, H., Bilbao, E., Dimeet, J., Marçal, A., McCormick, H. and Ni Chonchuir, G. Summary The objective of the present ageing guide is to make a compilation of all the information necessary to age the two species of European anglerfish (Lophius piscatorius and L. budegassa). The used calcified structure is the first dorsal fin ray (illicium). Anglerfish ageing is generally recognised as a difficult task. Hervé Dupouy, from IFREMER, Lorient (France), started to implement in the eighties a routine ageing procedure, based on illicia transversal sections. After recognising the benefits of this procedure and the clearer annual ring identification, compared to otoliths, researchers from Spain and Portugal followed Hervé’s work, in order to provide annual data for stock assessment. Since the beginning of the nineties, four illicia ageing workshops were held in order to improve methodologies and uniformity in the ageing criteria. This ageing guide results from the work developed during these workshops and the objective is to present all the necessary information to age anglerfish. This way, the introduction in section 1 makes a summary of the main biological particularities of these species, section 2 contains all the methodology to obtain illicia transversal sections, section 3 describes the ageing criteria and in section 4 are illicia images with marked annual rings.

Deep Ocean Habitats Things change the deeper you go in the ocean: light disappears, temperatures grow increasingly colder, and pressure gets much higher. The amount of oxygen in the water sunlight zone decreases with depth but then gets higher again at the bottom! Because these changes twilight zone affect the types of organisms that can survive there, the ocean is divided into five layers by depth called life zones. Only the sunlight zone receives enough sunlight for algae to convert light into energy midnight zone (photosynthesis). Because almost all food webs start with plants or algae, this is the zone where the most animals live. The twilight zone still gets some sunlight, but not enough for photosynthesis. The animals that live here either travel to the sunlight zone to feed or depend on food falling from above. There is no light in the midnight zone. Most abyssal zone of the animals that live here produce their own light through bioluminescence. The abyssal zone is pitch black, almost freezing cold, and has little oxygen and incredibly high pressure, yet animals still live here. In the deep trenches is the hadal zone. It is like the abyssal zone, except with even more hadal zone immense

Making a Big Splash with Louisiana Fishes
Making a Big Splash with Louisiana Fishes Written and Designed by Prosanta Chakrabarty, Ph.D., Sophie Warny, Ph.D., and Valerie Derouen LSU Museum of Natural Science To those young people still discovering their love of nature... Note to parents, teachers, instructors, activity coordinators and to all the fishermen in us: This book is a companion piece to Making a Big Splash with Louisiana Fishes, an exhibit at Louisiana State Universi- ty’s Museum of Natural Science (MNS). Located in Foster Hall on the main campus of LSU, this exhibit created in 2012 contains many of the elements discussed in this book. The MNS exhibit hall is open weekdays, from 8 am to 4 pm, when the LSU campus is open. The MNS visits are free of charge, but call our main office at 225-578-2855 to schedule a visit if your group includes 10 or more students. Of course the book can also be enjoyed on its own and we hope that you will enjoy it on your own or with your children or students. The book and exhibit was funded by the Louisiana Board Of Regents, Traditional Enhancement Grant - Education: Mak- ing a Big Splash with Louisiana Fishes: A Three-tiered Education Program and Museum Exhibit. Funding was obtained by LSUMNS Curators’ Sophie Warny and Prosanta Chakrabarty who designed the exhibit with Southwest Museum Services who built it in 2012. The oarfish in the exhibit was created by Carolyn Thome of the Smithsonian, and images exhibited here are from Curator Chakrabarty unless noted elsewhere (see Appendix II).

Analysis of Animal Adaptations
Unit 4 - The Deep Sea Analysis of Animal Adaptations To observe animals of the deep sea, we put out trawls and took bottom samples. What we found matched our earlier guesses. Animals that could survive under great pressure in the cold and dark with little to eat, were very strange indeed. Even the common names that we gave to the deep sea fish were strange: lantern fish, eelpout, spookfish, file tail cat shark, rattail, blobfish, gulper eel, hatchetfish, pacific viperfish, anglerfish, and snipe eel. In the following activities, you will have a chance to learn about these interesting animals. Materials • deep sea animal picture cards • adaptation Data Sheet • dice, pair • drawing paper • markers Analysis of Animal Adaptations 163 FOR SEA—Institute of Marine Science ©2001 J. A. Kolb Unit 4 - The Deep Sea Procedure Part OneAnalysis of Deep Sea Fish Adaptations In Part I, you will study pictures of deep sea creatures. As you do, look for their special adaptations. 1. Examine the pictures of the deep sea fish. 2. Obtain a data sheet. Describe the adaptations shown by each fish. For example, look at the mouth. It may: point upward, as in the hatchetfish be oversized, as in the viperfish be beak-shaped, as in the snipe eel You may not know these words: photophore - a cup shaped light organ on some deep sea animals lateral line - a row of sense organs on the sides of fishes appendage - body parts attached to the main body; tails, fins, legs, etc. 3. Record your findings for each fish in the data sheet.
