  • Polydactylus Opercularis (Gill, 1863) Fig
    Threadfins of the World 65 Literature: Feltes in Carpenter (2003). Remarks: Although Polydactylus oligodon, originally described from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and Jamaica on the basis of 2 specimens, had long been regarded as a junior synonym of P. virginicus by many authors, Randall (1966) recognized the former as valid and designated a lectotype for the species. Randall (1966) noted differences between P. oligodon and P. virginicus in the shape of the posterior margin of the maxilla, and certain meristic characters (including numbers of lateral-line scales, pectoral-fin rays and anal-fin rays) and proportional measurements (including length of anal-fin base). In particular, the rounded shape of the posterior margin of the maxilla has been subsequently treated as a diagnostic character for P. oligodon (versus truncate to concave in P. virginicus) in many publications (e.g. Randall in Fischer, 1978; Cervigón in Cervigón et al., 1993; Randall, 1996). According to Feltes in Carpenter (2003) and confirmed by examination by the author, however, that character shows considerable individual variation and it is difficult to clearly distinguish between P. oligodon and P. virginicus on that basis. Although P. oligodon and P. virginicus are very similar to each other and distinction between the 2 species in recent literature is somewhat confused, P. oligodon can be distinguished from the latter by the higher counts of pored lateral-line scales [67 to 73 (mode 70) versus 54 to 63 (mode 58) in the latter].

    Biological aspect and exploitation status of striped threadfin fish (Polydactylus plebeius Broussonet, 1782) in Merauke waters and its surrounding, Papua Province, Indonesia 1Andina Ramadhani Putri Pane, 2Reza Alnanda, 1Prihatiningsih, 1Ap’idatul Hasanah, 1Ali Suman 1Research Institute for Marine Fisheries, Jl. Raya Bogor KM 47 Cibinong Bogor Indonesia; 2Pontianak State Polytechnic, Jend Ahmad Yani Street Pontianak. Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract. Striped threadfin fish (Polydactylus plebeius Broussonet, 1782) belongs to the family Polynemidae and is a demersal fish that is mostly caught in Merauke and surrounding waters by small and medium scale fishermen. The use of this fish is carried out without regarding the sustainability of resources, so management based on scientific studies is needed. The study was conducted for two years in a row, namely in March-December 2017 and in April-December 2018, with a survey method that was assisted by enumerators, and resulted with a total sample of 7,641 fish. Fish size structure was 23-43 cm in 2017 and 19–49 cm in 2018, with isometric growth property. The sex ratio of the fish was found to be out of balance with the size of the male sample and female sample of fish spreading at every size interval. The gonad maturity level amounted for 97.2% specimens in immature condition, for both male and female. The length of first capture fish (Lc) was getting smaller, namely 31.06 cm in 2017 and 30.21 cm in 2018. The natural mortality was smaller than the fishing mortality, with an exploitation level of 0.58. This means that the exploitation status of fish was overexploited, and that management and supervision must reduce fishing pressure, to achieve sustainability.

SULAIMAN1 & R.L MAYDEN2 1Biological Science Programme, Faculty of Science, Universiti Brunei Darussalam, Tungku BE1410, Brunei Darussalam; E-mail:[email protected] 2Department of Biology, 3507 Laclede Ave, Saint Louis University, St Louis, Missouri 63103, USA; E-mail:[email protected] Abstract Borneo Island is governed by the countries of Brunei Darussalam, Malaysia (Sabah and Sarawak) and Indonesia (Kalimantan) and is part of Sundaland. These countries have a high diversity of freshwater fishes, especially described and undescribed species of Cypriniformes; together these species and other flora and fauna represent an extraordinary opportunity for worldwide collaboration to investigate the biodiversity, conservation, management and evolution of Borneo’s wildlife. Much of the fauna and flora of Borneo is under significant threat, warranting an immediate and swift international collaboration to rapidly inventory, describe, and conserve the diversity. The Sunda drainage appears to have been an important evolutionary centre for many fish groups, including cypriniforms (Cyprinidae, Balitoridae and Gyrinocheilidae); however, Northwestern Borneo (Brunei, Sabah and Sarawak) is not connected to Sundaland, and this disjunction likely explains the non-homogeneity of Bornean ichthyofauna. A previous study confirmed that northern Borneo, eastern Borneo and Sarawak shared a similar ichthyofauna, findings that support the general hypothesis for freshwater connections at one time between western Borneo and central Sumatra, and south Borneo and Java island.

  • Alepes Kleinii (Bloch, 1793) (Carangidae) Along the Coast of Bangladesh Muhammad A
    Siddik et al. Marine Biodiversity Records (2017) 10:32 DOI 10.1186/s41200-017-0134-x MARINERECORD Open Access First record of the razorbelly scad Alepes kleinii (Bloch, 1793) (Carangidae) along the coast of Bangladesh Muhammad A. B. Siddik1* , Md Abu Hanif1, Ashfaqun Nahar2, Md Reaz Chaklader1 and Rowan Kleindienst3 Abstract Background: The Bay of Bengal coast, Bangladesh is a hotspot of fisheries abundance and diversity. A new species of Carangid family Alepes kleinii is recorded and described for the first time in the coastal waters of Bangladesh. Results: A total of 29 individuals of Alepes kleinii were collected from the surveyed areas between January to March, 2016. Validation of this species was confirmed by phenotypic characteristics including body and fins colour, shape, vertical stripes, number of fin rays etc. which were found to be identical to that of the Alepes kleinii described in existing literature. The regression parameter value (b = 2.81) of the length-weight relationship (W=aLb) indicates that the Bay of Bengal provides favourable environmental conditions for the growth and development of this species. Conclusion: The discovery of the razorbelly scad in these waters provide valuable information regarding species distribution and extension, location and habitat preference. This information is prerequisite for the sound management of the coastal fisheries of Bangladesh.

  • Anatomy and Evolution of the Pectoral Filaments of Threadfins (Polynemidae)
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Anatomy and evolution of the pectoral flaments of threadfns (Polynemidae) Paulo Presti1*, G. David Johnson2 & Aléssio Datovo1 The most remarkable anatomical specialization of threadfns (Percomorphacea: Polynemidae) is the division of their pectoral fn into an upper, unmodifed fn and a lower portion with rays highly modifed into specialized flaments. Such flaments are usually elongate, free from interradial membrane, and move independently from the unmodifed fn to explore the environment. The evolution of the pectoral flaments involved several morphological modifcations herein detailed for the frst time. The posterior articular facet of the coracoid greatly expands anteroventrally during development. Similar expansions occur in pectoral radials 3 and 4, with the former usually acquiring indentations with the surrounding bones and losing association with both rays and flaments. Whereas most percomorphs typically have four or fve muscles serving the pectoral fn, adult polynemids have up to 11 independent divisions in the intrinsic pectoral musculature. The main adductor and abductor muscles masses of the pectoral system are completely divided into two muscle segments, each independently serving the pectoral-fn rays (dorsally) and the pectoral flaments (ventrally). Based on the innervation pattern and the discovery of terminal buds in the external surface of the flaments, we demonstrate for the frst time that the pectoral flaments of threadfns have both tactile and gustatory functions. Polynemids are easily identifable as a natural group based on their external morphology, particularly their dis- tinct pectoral fn divided into a dorsal part, with 12–19 sof rays united by an interradial membrane, and a ventral portion with around 3–16 isolated rays that are usually elongated, forming flaments with tactile functions1,2.
