Species Checklist and Potential Nursery Hotspots of Sargassum Associated Juvenile Fishes Project Title: Juvenile fish resources and nursery function of macroalgal beds in Hong Kong waters – a habitat-based study (ECF project: 15/2015) PI: Prof Paul Kwan-sing LAM; Co-Is: Dr Priscilla TY LEUNG, Prof Min LIU & Dr Tak-Cheung WAI; Duration: 1/7/2016 to 31/12/2017 Background Littoral-vegetated habitats such as macroalgal beds, seagrass beds and mangrove mudflats are common nurseries for fishes. These habitats are structurally complex, offering protection and reliable food resources to juvenile fishes, and hence are important to the fishes’ survival during their early life stages. In Hong Kong, Sargassum beds are a signature macroalgal habitat, growing along the exposed and semi-exposed shores in eastern and southern waters. Figure 1. An underwater photography of Sargassum beds in Hong Kong water This habitat has strong seasonality, and generally occurs during winter and winter- summer transitional period (December to In this ECF Project, we studied the May). seasonal pattern and habitat association of juvenile fishes. Our findings have identified potential nursery hotspots of Sargassum- associated juvenile fishes that could be useful for focused conservation and sustainable management. Here, we present a species checklist and biodiversity information of juvenile fishes collected from 24 local Sargassum beds in 2017. We have recorded a total of 75 species of juvenile fishes belonging to 39 different families. Some of them are new to records for Figure 2. Juvenile catches in this study. Hong Kong.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Pempheris bexillon new species is described from the 129 mm SL holotype and 11 paratypes (119–141 mm SL) from the Comoro Islands. Twelve other specimens have been examined from the Agaléga Islands, Mascarene Islands, and Bassas da India (Madagascar). It is differentiated from other Pempheris by the following combination of characters: a yellow dor- sal fin with a black, distal margin along its full length, broadest on anterior rays (pupil-diameter width) and gradually nar- rowing posteriorly, the last ray with only a black tip; large, deciduous cycloid scales on the flank; dark, oblong spot on the pectoral-fin base; anal fin with a dark margin; segmented anal-fin rays 38–45 (usually >40); lateral-line scales 56–65; and total gill rakers on the first arch 31–35; iris reddish-brown. Tables of standard meristic and color data for type material of all nominal species of cycloid-scaled Pempheris in the Indo-Pacific are provided.

    click for previous page 1654 Bony Fishes MULLIDAE Goatfishes by J.E. Randall, B.P.Bishop Museum, Hawaii, USA iagnostic characters: Small to medium-sized fishes (to 40 cm) with a moderately elongate, slightly com- Dpressed body; ventral side of head and body nearly flat. Eye near dorsal profile of head. Mouth relatively small, ventral on head, and protrusible, the upper jaw slightly protruding; teeth conical, small to very small. Chin with a pair of long sensory barbels that can be folded into a median groove on throat. Two well separated dorsal fins, the first with 7 or 8 spines, the second with 1 spine and 8 soft rays. Anal fin with 1 spine and 7 soft rays.Caudal fin forked.Paired fins of moderate size, the pectorals with 13 to 17 rays;pelvic fins with 1 spine and 5 soft rays, their origin below the pectorals. Scales large and slightly ctenoid (rough to touch); a single continuous lateral line. Colour: variable; whitish to red, with spots or stripes. 1st dorsal fin with 7or8spines 2nd dorsal fin with 1 spine and 8 soft rays pair of long sensory barbels Habitat, biology, and fisheries: Goatfishes are bottom-dwelling fishes usually found on sand or mud sub- strata, but 2 of the 4 western Atlantic species occur on coral reefs where sand is prevalent. The barbels are supplied with chemosensory organs and are used to detect prey by skimming over the substratum or by thrust- ing them into the sediment. Food consists of a wide variety of invertebrates, mostly those that live beneath the surface of the sand or mud.

Zoological Studies 51(7): 1086-1093. The reproductive biology of Pempheris schwenkii, one of the most common nocturnal fishes in Okinawan waters, was studied using a total of 1834 specimens (3.1-125.9 mm standard length, SL) collected around Okinawa I. The spawning season was estimated to occur from Jan. to June, with a peak from Feb. to May, based on monthly changes in the gonadosomatic index and histological observations of the ovaries. The relationship between the SL and the appearance of mature females, and the monthly growth of the 0+ group suggested that maturity occurred at ca. 70 mm SL, corresponding to 1 yr after hatching. Spawning was not related to the lunar cycle. The batch fecundity of P. schwenkii was calculated as ca. 700-4100 eggs. Pempheris schwenkii appeared to spawn at night based on diurnal changes in the frequency of females exhibiting hydrated ovaries and postovulatory follicles. Such nighttime spawning seems to reduce the risk of predation of adults and eggs, which may be an adaptive characteristic of nocturnal fishes.

A survey carried out around Cyprus during September 2014 documented the occurrence of 25 alien fishes. Seven Lessepsian migrants ( Hippocampus fuscus Rüppell, 1838, Nemipterus randalli Russell, 1986, Ostorhinchus fasciatus (Shaw, 1790), Parupeneus forsskali (Fourmanoir & Guézé, 1976), Pomadasys stridens (Forsskål, 1775), Sphyraena obtusata Cuvier, 1829 and Spratelloides delicatulus (Bennett, 1832)) were recorded for the first time, increasing to 35 the number of alien fishes recorded around the island. Four of these first records can be considered as 'established', whereas the 2013 first record of Pterois volitans/miles is confirmed by new findings placing the species as newly 'established' in Cyprus. All the recorded alien fishes of Cyprus are Lessepsian migrants, 80% of which can be considered established and four of them are invasive. The rapid increase of alien fish species over time in Cyprus supports the accelerating tropicalisation process observed elsewhere in the Mediterranean over the last decades.
