  • C.9. Ctenochaetus Binotatus (Itingan) C.9.1. General Biology C.9.2. Size
    C.9. Ctenochaetus binotatus (Itingan) C.9.1. General Biology Inhabits coral and rubble areas of deep lagoon and seaward reefs. Usually solitary, grazing on surface algae. Feeds by scooping film of detritus and unicellular algae (e.g. dinoflagellate Gambierdiscus toxicus) that produce ciguatera toxin making this species a key link in the ciguatera food chain. Commonly caught by nets. Distributed in Indo-Pacific: East Africa to the Tuamoto Islands, north to southern Japan, south to Figure xx. The target species, Ctenochaetus inotatus central New South Wales (Australia) and New Caledonia. Not known from the Red Sea, Gulf of Oman, the Gulf, the Hawaiian Islands, Marquesas, Rapa, Pitcairn Islands, and Easter Island. (source: FishBase) C.9.2. Size Distribution A total of 162 fish individuals of Ctenochaetus binotatus were measured to the nearest centimeter. Measured length were from both the weekly measurements of the enumerators and biological samples brought Figure xx. Size distribution of Ctenochaetus binotatus with corresponding Lm50 of C. striatus of this study. to the lab. The smallest individual measured 7.0 cm SL and the largest is 17.0 cm SL. Approximately 30% of the total catch is below the computed Lm50 of C. striatus of this study. Since, there is no available data and literatures regarding the length at which it reaches maturity, we will use the estimated Lm50 and Lm95 of C. striatus. C.9.3. Gonadal Maturation and Maturation Curve Only 5 biological specimens were brought to the lab for examination. Out of 5 samples, 4 were males and only 1 female. All were staged as mature.

  • Estimation of Fatty Acid Profile and Proximate
    ESTIMATION OF FATTY ACID PROFILE AND PROXIMATE COMPOSITION OF CANTHIDERMIS MACULATA (BLOCH, 1786) (TETRADONTIFORMES, BALISTIDAE) COLLECTED FROM SOUTHERN COAST OF SRI LANKA 1WILLIAMS S.S., 2MUNASINGHE D.H.N. 1,2Department of Zoology, University of Ruhuna,Sri Lanka. E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract - Rough oceanic triggerfish Canthidermis maculata (Bloch, 1786) belongs to family Balistidae and has year round availability as the main by-catch species in tuna fishery industry. Due to high availability and low market value, this species gain low demand in the local market. Further, the society believes that the taste of this fish species is similar to chicken and therefore chicken dishes are prepared with the substitution of C. maculata. Due to lack of knowledge gap of nutritional value of this species, the objective of current study was to estimate nutritional components of C. maculata in order to popularize it as a food source to fulfill nutritional requirement of the society. Fish samples were collected from fish landing sites of three regions (Mirissa, Dondra and Tangalle) in the southern coast of Sri Lanka. Samples from commercially demanded fish species Cephalopholis sonnerati (Tomato Hind) and chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) were analyzed in order to compare the proximate values of C. maculata. Samples were collected from three individuals of each species and each sample was analyzed in triplicates. Fatty acid profile of C. maculata was determined by Fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) Test with gas chromatographic technique. Analyses revealed that flesh samples of C. maculata contained important fatty acids such as Eicosapentaenoic acid and Docosahexaenoic acid in high amounts with other essential fatty acids.

Snapper and grouper are important fishery resources with great commercial value for exporters to major international markets. The fisheries also support the livelihoods and food security of many local, small-scale fishing communities worldwide. It is therefore all the more critical that management of these fisheries improves, thus ensuring this important resource will remain available to provide both food and income. Landings of snapper and grouper have been steadily increasing: in the 1950s, total landings were about 50,000 tonnes, but they had grown to more than 612,000 tonnes by 2013.

  • Reef Fishes of the Bird's Head Peninsula, West
    Check List 5(3): 587–628, 2009. ISSN: 1809-127X LISTS OF SPECIES Reef fishes of the Bird’s Head Peninsula, West Papua, Indonesia Gerald R. Allen 1 Mark V.

E-mail: [email protected] 2 Conservation International Indonesia Marine Program. Jl. Dr. Muwardi No. 17, Renon, Denpasar 80235 Indonesia. Abstract A checklist of shallow (to 60 m depth) reef fishes is provided for the Bird’s Head Peninsula region of West Papua, Indonesia. The area, which occupies the extreme western end of New Guinea, contains the world’s most diverse assemblage of coral reef fishes. The current checklist, which includes both historical records and recent survey results, includes 1,511 species in 451 genera and 111 families. Respective species totals for the three main coral reef areas – Raja Ampat Islands, Fakfak-Kaimana coast, and Cenderawasih Bay – are 1320, 995, and 877. In addition to its extraordinary species diversity, the region exhibits a remarkable level of endemism considering its relatively small area. A total of 26 species in 14 families are currently considered to be confined to the region. Introduction and finally a complex geologic past highlighted The region consisting of eastern Indonesia, East by shifting island arcs, oceanic plate collisions, Timor, Sabah, Philippines, Papua New Guinea, and widely fluctuating sea levels (Polhemus and the Solomon Islands is the global centre of 2007). reef fish diversity (Allen 2008).

  • Orientation of Pelagic Larvae of Coral-Reef Fishes in the Ocean
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 252: 239–253, 2003 Published April 30 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Orientation of pelagic larvae of coral-reef fishes in the ocean Jeffrey M. Leis*, Brooke M. Carson-Ewart Ichthyology, and Centre for Biodiversity and Conservation Research, Australian Museum, 6 College St, Sydney, New South Wales 2010, Australia ABSTRACT: During the day, we used settlement-stage reef-fish larvae from light-traps to study in situ orientation, 100 to 1000 m from coral reefs in water 10 to 40 m deep, at Lizard Island, Great Barrier Reef. Seven species were observed off leeward Lizard Island, and 4 species off the windward side. All but 1 species swam faster than average ambient currents. Depending on area, time, and spe- cies, 80 to 100% of larvae swam directionally. Two species of butterflyfishes Chaetodon plebeius and Chaetodon aureofasciatus swam away from the island, indicating that they could detect the island’s reefs. Swimming of 4 species of damselfishes Chromis atripectoralis, Chrysiptera rollandi, Neo- pomacentrus cyanomos and Pomacentrus lepidogenys ranged from highly directional to non- directional. Only in N. cyanomos did swimming direction differ between windward and leeward areas. Three species (C. atripectoralis, N. cyanomos and P. lepidogenys) were observed in morning and late afternoon at the leeward area, and all swam in a more westerly direction in the late after- noon. In the afternoon, C. atripectoralis larvae were highly directional in sunny conditions, but non- directional and individually more variable in cloudy conditions. All these observations imply that damselfish larvae utilized a solar compass. Caesio cuning and P.

  • New Records of Fishes from the Hawaiian Islands!
    Pacific Science (1980), vol. 34, no. 3 © 1981 by The University Press of Hawaii. All rights reserved New Records of Fishes from the Hawaiian Islands! JOHN E. RANDALL 2 ABSTRACT: The following fishes represent new records for the Hawaiian Islands: the moray eel Lycodontis javanicus (Bleeker), the frogfish Antennarius nummifer (Cuvier), the jack Carangoides ferdau (Forssk::U), the grouper Cromileptes altivelis (Cuvier) (probably an aquarium release), the chubs Kyphosus cinerascens (Forsskal) and K. vaigiensis (Quoy and Gaimard), the armorhead Pentaceros richardsoni Smith, the goatfish Upeneus vittatus (Forsskal) (a probable unintentional introduction by the Division of Fish and Game, State of Hawaii), the wrasse Halichoeres marginatus Ruppell,' the gobies Nemateleotris magnifica Fowler and Discordipinna griessingeri Hoese and Fourmanoir, the angelfish Centropyge multicolor Randall and Wass, the surgeonfish Acanthurus lineatus (Linnaeus), the oceanic cutlassfish Assurger anzac (Alexander), and the driftfish Hyperoglyphe japonica (Doderlein). In addition, the snapper Pristipomoides auricilla (Jordan, Evermann, and Tanaka) and the wrasse Thalassoma quinquevittatum (Lay and Bennett), both overlooked in recent compilations, are shown to be valid species for the Hawaiian region. Following Parin (1967), the needlefish Tylosurus appendicu­ latus (Klunzinger), which has a ventral bladelike bony projection from the end of the lower jaw, is regarded as a morphological variant of T. acus (Lacepede). IN 1960, W. A. Gosline and V. E.
