  • The Endemic Shore Fishes of the Hawaiian Islands, Lord Howe Island and Easter Island
    49 THE ENDEMIC SHORE FISHES OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS, LORD HOWiZ ISLAND AND EASTER ISLAND Par J.E. RANDALL * INTRODUCTION The author has been privileged to collect and observe fishes at the three insular localities in Oceania which have the highest percentage of endemic fishes : Hawaiian Islands, Easter Island (27” S ; 109” W) and Lord Howe Island (31° 30’ S ; 159O W) (1). At a11of these islands the most abundant shore fishes, in general, are the species unique to the islands. Before discussing these fishes, the question of what constitutes an endemic species must be considered. The islands mentioned above are all isolated peripherahy in the subtropi- cal Pacifie. Because of limited gene flow with other insular populations, many species of fishes at these islands exhibit differences. For some populations the differences are slight, and few systematists would be tempted to assign specific rank to them. Other populations have differentiated SOmarkedly (or are relies) that nearly ail workers would agree to call them species. In between these two groupings, for which there is a clear consensus, there are populations which some systematists would classify as species and others at best as subspecies. GOSLINE and BROCK (1960) for example, regard the Hawaiian variant of the convict surgeonfish Acanthurus triostegus (Linnaeus) as a species, Acanthurus sandvicensis Streets, whereas RANDALL (1956) labelled it Acanthurus Diostegus sandvicensis. GOSLINE and BROCK cari point out that they are able to sepa- rate 100 percent of the Hawaiian variant by a sickle-shaped dark mark at the pectoral base. RANDALL, on the other hand, feels that this slight color diffe- rente and broadly overlapping fin-ray Count do not constitute speciflc-level differentiation - that the Hawaiian form would freely interbreed with trioste- guselswhere in its range if it had the opportunity to do SO.Since natural’ * Bernice P.

WHITlEy5 SUMMARY lord Howe Island, some 630 kilometres off the northern coast of New South Wales, Australia at 31.5° South latitude, is the world's southern most locality with a well developed coral reef community and associated lagoon. An extensive collection of fishes from lord Howelsland was made during a month's expedition in February 1973. A total of 208 species are newly recorded from lord Howe Island and 23 species newly recorded from the Australian mainland. The fish fauna of lord Howe is increased to 447 species in 107 families. Of the 390 species of inshore fishes, the majority (60%) are wide-ranging tropical forms; some 10% are found only at lord Howe Island, southern Australia and/or New Zealand.

  • The Good Old Days? Historical Insights Into New South Wales Coastal Fish Populations and Their Fisheries
    THE GOOD OLD DAYS? HISTORICAL INSIGHTS INTO NEW SOUTH WALES COASTAL FISH POPULATIONS AND THEIR FISHERIES Report to The NSW Recreational Fishing Trusts Expenditure Committee by Pepperell Research & Consulting Pty Ltd The Good Old Days? Historical insights into coastal NSW fish populations and their fisheries Julian G Pepperell Pepperell Research & Consulting Pty Ltd Introduction What were the fish populations and potential fishing like before Europeans arrived on Australian shores and began to cast their nets and baits into the pristine waters they found? What might fishing have been like before the advent of high tech fishing gear, both commercial and recreational? Is fishing today a shadow of its former self or have fish populations managed to sustain themselves over the past 200 plus years? Is it possible to gain some historic insights into the status of the coastal fish populations of New South Wales? New South Wales has the longest history of European exploration and settlement of any Australian State. From the time of the arrival of Captain James Cook in April 1770, observations and accounts of fish in coastal waters form a small but continual part of the narrative of exploration and settlement. Fish were obviously an important source of fresh food to the colonists so it is not surprising that their supply was a subject of interest in early writings and records. The genesis for the present study was a well publicised American study, published in July 2001, which utilized a variety of retrospective-looking methods in an attempt to gain an idea of what eastern US coastal habitats and marine populations were like when Europeans first reached the New World, and in the ensuing several centuries.

I also certify that this thesis has been written by me. Any help that I have received in my research work and the preparation of the thesis itself has been acknowledged. In addition, I certify that all information sources and literature used are indicated in this thesis. Melanie A Lewis 3rd April 2012 Page I ii Thesis Abstract Cirella cyanea is a conspicuous member of the reef-fish community in the Lord Howe Island Marine Park (LHIMP), but very little is known about its life history. Rareness of this species on mainland Australian coasts in recent years has initiated a fishing ban across the state of New South Wales, however recreational fishing is still permitted on LHI. Effective management and conservation of this population requires increased information on life history and demographics. Management currently in place for this species is limited. A bag limit of 5 fish person-1 day- 1 is imposed in habitat protection zones across the Marine Park. It is difficult to measure the effectiveness of this strategy, however, without the knowledge of the resource requirements of the species and how these may change throughout the course of life.
