A framework of ichthyofaunal ecostrati- graphy of the Oligocene–Early Miocene strata of the Polish Outer Carpathian basin. Annales Societatis Geologorum Poloniae, 76: 1–111. Abstract: The paper presents the results of an analysis of ichthyofaunal variability throughout the section of the Menilite-Krosno Series (MKS) in the Outer Carpathians of Poland. The studied tanathocoenoses were formed at the bottom of a more than 2,000 m deep northern basin of the Tethys, being largely represented by the continental rise and bottoms of its narrow furrows, and – to a lesser degree – the continental slope and slopes of a submarine high. Lateral variability of statististically representative assemblages of tanathocoenoses hosted in thin, isochro- nous horizons is interpreted as a result of both local changes of ichthyocoenoses and the influence of post-mortem relocation of fishes that mainly dwelled the shelf and upper continental slope. Vertical variability, in turn, is considered as a resulting from changeable conditions of the ecological environment, the input and outflow of taxa whose evolution proceeded in the Indo-Pacific area, and the species extinction. Changeability of ichthyofauna within a ca.

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.

  • Maurolicus Muelleri) Larvae and Life-History Consequences1 Arild Folkvord, Geir Gundersen, Jon Albretsen, Lars Asplin, Stein Kaartvedt, and Jarl Giske
    163 ARTICLE Impact of hatch date on early life growth and survival of Mueller’s pearlside (Maurolicus muelleri) larvae and life-history consequences1 Arild Folkvord, Geir Gundersen, Jon Albretsen, Lars Asplin, Stein Kaartvedt, and Jarl Giske Abstract: Growth and survival of Maurolicus muelleri larvae in Herdlefjorden, Norway, were investigated by daily otolith incre- ment analysis. While high egg densities were generally observed throughout the spawning season, three cohorts each with a narrow window of hatching dates were identified. The first of these cohorts was characterized by low growth and poor morphometric condition and disappeared from the fjord during autumn. High-resolution drift modeling indicated that Herdlef- jorden had a net export of larvae and negligible import in the period cohort 1 disappeared. Yet, the advective loss rate of larvae was not considered high enough to explain the near complete disappearance of the first cohort. An otolith-based growth chronology indicated that growth conditions in Herdlefjorden improved noticeably around mid-September and remained favorable the following month. The analysis of daily otolith increments could thus be used to document within-season variability in larval growth and survival. The low and variable survival due to short-term fluctuations in environmental conditions indicate that multiple batch spawning is an adequately evolved life-history strategy for marine planktivorous fish such as M. muelleri. Résumé : La croissance et la survie des larves de Maurolicus muelleri dans le Herdlefjorden (Norvège) ont été étudiées par l'analyse des incréments quotidiens d'otolithes. Si de fortes densités d'œufs ont été généralement observées durant toute la saison de frai, trois cohortes ont néanmoins été identifiées, chacune présentant sa propre fourchette restreinte de dates d'éclosion.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Recent pelagic and benthic trawling activities over the Brazilian continental slope between 11° and 23°S captured nine species representing five genera of the stomiiform family Sternoptychidae. Among these, three species are new records for Brazilian waters: Sternoptyx pseudodiaphana, Argyripnus atlanticus, and Polyipnus sp. The known distributions of Argyropelecus aculeatus and Maurolicus stehmanni along the Brazilian coast are extended northward to 13°S and 16°S, respectively, while that of Sternoptyx diaphana is extended southward to 13°S. Argyropelecus hemigymnus, Argyropelecus sladeni, and Sternoptyx pseudobscura were rarely caught (n=2–16).

    Stomiiformes Chapter 4 Order Stomiiformes Number of suborders (2) Gonostomatoidei; Phosichthyoidei (= Photichthyoidei, Stomioidei). Stomiiform monophyly was demonstrated by Fink and Weitzman (1982); relationships within the order are not settled, e.g., Harold and Weitzman (1996). Number of families 4 (or 5: Harold [1998] suggested that Diplophos, Manducus, and Triplophos do not belong in Gonostomatidae, and Nelson [2006] provi sionally placed them in a separate family, Diplophidae). Number of genera 53 Number of species approx. 391 GENERAL LIFE HISTORY REF Distribution All oceans. Relative abundance Rare to very abundant, depending on taxon. Adult habitat Small to medium size (to ca. 10-40 cm) inhabitants of epi-, meso-, and bathypelagic zones, some are vertical migrators. EARLY LIFE HISTORY Mode of reproduction All species known or assumed to be oviparous with planktonic eggs and larvae. Knowledge of ELH Eggs known for 9 genera, larvae known for 38 genera. ELH Characters: Eggs: spherical, ca. 0.6-3.6 mm in diameter, commonly with double membrane, yolk segmented, with 0-1 oil globule ca. 0.1-0.4 mm in di ameter, perivitelline space narrow to wide. Larvae: slender and elongate initially but some become deep-bodied (primarily some sternoptychids and stomiids); preanal length ranges from approx. 30%BL to > 70% BL, most commonly > about half BL, some taxa with trailing gut that can be > 100% BL; eyes strongly ellipti cal to round, most commonly elliptical, stalked in some species; spines lacking on head and pectoral girdle except in some sternoptychids; myo- meres range from 29-164, most commonly approx. mid-30's to mid- 60's; photophores form during postflexion and/or transformation stage; pigmentation absent to heavy, most commonly light.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A new species of the teleostean family Sternoptychidae, Polyipnus notatus n. sp., is described based on material collected mainly off Taiwan in the South China Sea. The new species is most similar to P. triphanos, based on the presence of a single posttemporal spine, lack of scale spination, and the second and third ACA (=supra-anal) photophores elevated rel- ative to the first and connected to each other in a common organ. These characters typify other members of the P. aster- oides species group that occur in various tropical to temperate ocean basins. Based on a limited sample of 27 specimens, P. notatus (maximum observed size 30.7 mm SL) appears to be smaller than most other congeners.

RESUMEN Se presentan 1.772 referencias sobre taxonomía, sistemática y distribución geográfica de los peces óseos marinos y que siendo marinos penetran en estuarios de Chile. Se consideran peces de la costa de Chile en el continente sudamericano y también de las islas oceánicas chilenas. Palabras clave: peces, bibliografía, biodiversidad, Pacífico suroriental, Chile. ABSTRACT One thousand seven hundred and seventy-two references on taxonomy, systematics and geographical distribution of marine bony fishes and those that being marine enter in estuaries of Chile are presented. The species considered are those from the Chilean continental coast and those from the Chilean oceanic islands. Key words: fishes, bibliography, biodiversity, southeastern, Chile. INTRODUCCIÓN marinos, incursionan en estuarios, consi-derando la costa de Chile que integra el continente sudamericano Actualmente, se podría decir que las especies y aquella de las islas oceánicas. Puede observarse conocidas de peces óseos de aguas marinas chilenas que se trata de un listado bastante restringido, pero alcanzan un número cercano a las 1.050. Se supone que servirá al lector, en los aspectos científicos que dada la falta de exploración, especialmente en el básicos señalados. dominio marino, ese número debería aumentar.
