    Pacific Plate Biogeography, with Special Reference to Shorefishes VICTOR G. SPRINGER m SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 367 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoo/ogy Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world cf science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

BAUN Abstract Sardines (Clupeidae) make up a substantial proportion of the fish catch across the Philippines and consequently are the most accessible source of animal protein for millions of Filipinos. Further, this fishery is an economic engine providing thousands of jobs and generating revenue at the individual, municipal, and national levels. Ecologically, sardines are basally positioned in a food web that supports pelagic tuna and mackerel, as well as numerous sea birds and marine mammals. Philippine sardine biodiversity is among the highest in the world and includes the only known freshwater sardine species.

Frank L. Pezold, PhD Chris Bird, PhD Chair Committee Member Kevin W. Conway, PhD James D. Hogan, PhD Committee Member Committee Member Lea-Der Chen, PhD Graduate Faculty Representative December 2014 ABSTRACT The family of fishes commonly known as gobies (Teleostei: Gobiidae) is one of the most diverse lineages of vertebrates in the world. With more than 1700 species of gobies spread among more than 200 genera, gobies are the most species-rich family of marine fishes. Gobies can be found in nearly every aquatic habitat on earth, and are often the most diverse and numerically abundant fishes in tropical and subtropical habitats, especially coral reefs. Their remarkable taxonomic, morphological and ecological diversity make them an ideal model group for studying the processes driving taxonomic and phenotypic diversification in aquatic vertebrates. Unfortunately the phylogenetic relationships of many groups of gobies are poorly resolved, obscuring our understanding of the evolution of their ecological diversity. This dissertation is a multi-scale phylogenetic study that aims to clarify phylogenetic relationships across the Gobiidae and demonstrate the utility of this family for studies of macroevolution and speciation at multiple evolutionary timescales.

  • Reef Fishes of the Phoenix Islands, Central Pacific Ocean
    REEF FISHES OF THE PHOENIX ISLANDS, CENTRAL PACIFIC OCEAN BY GERALD ALLEN1 AND STEVEN BAILEY2 ABSTRACT Visual inventories and fish collections were conducted at the Phoenix Islands during June-July 2002. A list of fishes was compiled for 57 sites. The survey involved 163 hours of scuba diving to a maximum depth of 57 m. A total of 451 species were recorded, including 212 new records. The total known fish fauna of the Phoenix Islands now stands at 516 species. A formula for predicting the total reef fish fauna based on the number of species in six key indicator families indicates that at least 576 species can be expected to occur at this location. Wrasses (Labridae), groupers (Serranidae), gobies (Gobiidae), damselfishes (Pomacentridae), and surgeonfishes (Acanthuridae) were the most speciose families with 53, 40, 36, 36, and 32 species respectively. Species numbers at visually sampled sites during the survey ranged from 17 to 166, with an average of 110. Leeward outer reefs contained the highest diversity with an average of 135.5 species per site. Other major habitats included windward outer reefs (123.7 per site), passages (113.5), and lagoon reefs (38.5). The Napoleon Wrasse (Cheilinus undulatus) was extraordinarily abundant, providing excellent baseline information on the natural abundance of this species in the absence of fishing pressure. Conservation recommendations include protection of certain large predatory fishes including the Napoleon Wrasse, Bumphead Parrotfish, and reef sharks. INTRODUCTION The primary goal of the fish survey was to provide a comprehensive inventory of reef fishes inhabiting the Phoenix Islands. This segment of the fauna includes fishes living on or near coral reefs down to the limit of safe sport diving or approximately 55 m depth.

WILLIAMS (11) & René GALZIN (1) Abstract. – On the occasion of the 10th Indo-Pacific Fish Conference (http://ipfc10.criobe.pf/) to be held in Tahiti in October 2017, it seemed timely to update Randall’s 1985 list of the fishes known from French Polynesia. Many studies focusing on fishes in this area have been published since 1985, but Randall’s list remains the authoritative source. Herein we present an expanded species list of 1,301 fishes now known to occur in French Polynesia and we review the expeditions and information sources responsible for the over 60% increase in the number of known species since the publication of Randall’s checklist in 1985. Our list of the fishes known from French Polynesia includes only those species with a reliably verifiable presence in these waters. In cases where there was any doubt about the identity of a species, or of the reliability of a reported sighting, the species was not included in our list. © SFI Received: 2 Jan. 2017 Résumé. – Liste des poissons côtiers de Polynésie française.
