Fish pictures Onaga - Ruby or Long Tail Red Snapper (Etelis coruscans) Onaga (Etelis coruscans) is one of Hawaii’s fish better known by its Japanese name which is Ula`ula. It is also called ruby snapper or long-tail red snapper. Most of the Onaga caught off the Hawaii shoreline range in size from 1 to 18 pounds. Onaga is filleted to supply the growing demand for Hawaii-caught snappers in up-scale restaurants. The average yield of fillet from a whole fish is about 45%, however, restaurant buyers often request whole fish for display and to prolong the shelf life of their Onaga purchases. Onaga has clear, light pink flesh similar to that of the Opakapaka. Onaga has a delicate flavor which is enjoyed when served raw (sashimi style), or when baked or steamed. Fish caught during the winter months seem to have a higher fat content than those caught in the summer months, hence, Onaga yield the best sashimi during the winter season. Hawaii’s residents have a strong culturally- oriented demand for red snappers for ceremonial occasions such as the New Year’s season and weddings, when Onaga sashimi is traditionally served. Small Onaga (less than 5 pounds) are often prepared in Hawaii by steaming the fish with the head on. They are also popular for making soup.

They are not lobsters at all, but are more closely related to porcelain crabs, hermit crabs and then, more distantly, true crabs. They are distributed worldwide in the oceans, and occur from near the surface to deep sea hydrothermal vents. There are currently 870 described species. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squat_lobster Babamunida 1 http://www.boldsystems.org/views/taxbrowser.php?taxid=1502 Babamunida 2 http://decapoda.free.fr/illustration.php?n=2&sp=488 Babamunida 3 http://decapoda.free.fr/illustration.php?n=2&sp=488 Tiger Shark The tiger shark, (Galeocerdo cuvier), is a species of requiem shark and the only member of the genus Galeocerdo. Tiger sharks are relatively large macropredators, capable of attaining a length of over 5 m (16 ft).[3] This shark typically reaches maturity at lengths of 2 to 3 m (6.6 to 9.8 ft).[4][5] It is found in many tropical and temperate oceans, and is especially common around central Pacific islands. Its name derives from the dark stripes down its body, which resemble a tiger's pattern and fade as the shark matures. The tiger shark is a solitary, mostly night-time hunter. Its diet involves a wide range of prey, including crustaceans, fish, seals, birds, smaller sharks, squid, turtles, sea snakes, and dolphins. While the tiger shark is considered to be one of the sharks most dangerous to humans, the attack rate is surprisingly low according to researchers.[6] The tiger is second on the list of number of recorded attacks on humans, with the great white shark being first.[7][8][9] They often visit shallow reefs, harbours and canals, creating the potential for encounter with humans. Tiger sharks are considered a near threatened species due to excessive finning and fishing by humans.

They are elongate fishes with a similar appearance to barracudas, having a long dorsal fin, usually with one or finlets trailing it. The largest species, including the snoek, Thyrsites atun, grow up to two metres long. Like the barracudas, they are predators, with fang-like teeth.[1] They are deep-water benthopelagic fishes, and several species are important commercial and game fishes.

    Allogalathea (Decapoda: Galatheidae): a Monospecific Genus of Squat Lobster?

    Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2011, 162, 245–270. With 7 figures Allogalathea (Decapoda: Galatheidae): a monospecific genus of squat lobster? PATRICIA CABEZAS1*, ENRIQUE MACPHERSON2 and ANNIE MACHORDOM1 1Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (CSIC), José Gutiérrez Abascal 2, 28006 Madrid, Spain 2Centro de Estudios Avanzados de Blanes (CSIC), Carr. Acc. Cala Sant Francesc 14, 17300 Blanes, Girona, Spain Received 8 March 2010; revised 14 June 2010; accepted for publication 16 June 2010 The genus Allogalathea was established by Baba in 1969 to include the well-known species Galathea elegans. This species is widely distributed across the Indo-West Pacific Ocean, and is characterized by living in close association with crinoids, and by its conspicuous coloration. Although the genus is considered monospecific, different colour patterns and discrete morphological variations mainly associated with the rostrum and chelipeds have been reported. These differences could point to cryptic species, thereby questioning Allogalathea as a monotypic taxon. To address this issue, we sequenced the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI; 658 bp) and 16S rRNA (882 bp) genes and the nuclear gene phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK; 598 bp) in numerous specimens from eight different localities, and also examined their morphological characters. DNA sequences were analysed using maximum-parsimony, maximum-likelihood, and Bayesian approaches of phylogenetic inference. The resulting trees were combined with morphological evidence to test species boundaries. Our molecular data revealed four deeply divergent clades, which can be distinguished by subtle morphological differences in the spinulation and length- : breadth ratio of the P1 carpus, spinulation of the walking legs, and shape of the rostrum. Our findings indicated that Allogalathea elegans is in fact a species complex comprising four different species, which, although genetically very distinct, are morphologically very similar.

Careful examination of videos and photographs combined with previous inventories made in the area with conventional gears allowed the identification of 30 species, including 20 species-level determinations. Species identified belong to shrimps (Penaeoidea, Stenopodidea, and Caridea), lobsters (Astacidea and Achelata), anomurans (Galatheoidea and Paguroidea), and brachyuran crabs (Dromioidea, Homolodromioidea, Raninoidea, Leucosioidea, Majoidea, Parthenopoidea, Portunoidea, and Trapezioidea). Most of these species were observed and photographed in situ for the first time. A discussion is given on the geographic distribution, density, ecology, and behavior.

Cala San Francesc s/n, 17300 Blanes, Girona (Spain) [email protected] ABSTRACT During the cruise TARASOC (September and October 2009) to the Tarava Seamounts, and Tuamotu and Society Archipelagos (French Polynesia), numerous specimens of squat lobsters belonging to the family Munididae (Agononida Baba & de Saint Laurent, 1996, Babamunida Cabezas et al., 2008, Bathymunida Balss, 1914, Heteronida Baba & de Saint Laurent, 1996, Munida Leach, 1820, Onconida Baba & de Saint Laurent, 1996, Paramunida Baba, 1988) and the family Eumunididae (Eumunida Smith, 1883) were collected.

Specimens of the new species were collected in the summit (∼200 m depth) of one seamount and observed by ROV at two nearby ones. This species is characterized by the presence of distinct carinae on the thoracic sternites 6 and 7. Furthermore, it is not related with any species from the continental shelf nor the slope of America, while it is closely related to species of Munida from French Polynesia and the West-Pacific Ocean (i.e., M. ommata, M. psylla and M. rufiantennulata). In situ observations indicate that the species lives among the tentacles of ceriantarid anemones and preys on small crustaceans. The discovery of this new species adds to the knowledge of the highly endemic benthic fauna of seamounts of the newly created Nazca-Desventuradas Marine Park, emphasizing the relevance of this area for marine conservation.

HENDRICKX Laboratorio de Invertebrados Bentónicos, Unidad Académica Mazatlán, Instituto de Ciencias del Mar y Limnología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, P.O. Box 811, Mazatlán, Sinaloa, 82000, Mexico. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Seven species of squat lobsters were collected during the TALUD XIV cruise in the Gulf of California, Mexico. Gastrop- tychus perarmatus (Haig, 1968) was collected for the second time since it was described and represents a first record of the genus in the tropical eastern Pacific. Its association with gorgonians is also noted from color pictures taken during a deep-water dive in another cruise in the area. Janetogalathea californiensis (Benedict, 1902) was captured in four sam- pling stations, in the same area where it has been previously reported. Three species of Munida Leach, 1820 were collected (M. bapensis Hendrickx, 2000, M. mexicana Benedict, 1902, and M. tenella Benedict, 1902). Records of M. bapensis of this cruise combined with additional captures of this species in 2007 in the same area indicate that it is the most abundant deep-water species of squat lobster in the northern part of the central Gulf of California. Among the species of Munida, M. tenella was second in abundance and included specimens much larger than previously known.
