Taiwan is situated along the edge of the Eurasia plate, at the junction of three Large Marine Ecosystems or Ecoregions of the East China Sea, South China Sea and the Philippines. As nearly two-thirds of its surrounding marine ecosystems are deep-sea environments, Taiwan is expected to hold a rich diversity of deep-sea fish.

The study of the Portuguese marine ichthyofauna has a long historical tradition, rooted back in the 18th Century. Here we present an annotated checklist of the marine fishes from Portuguese waters, including the area encompassed by the proposed extension of the Portuguese continental shelf and the Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ). The list is based on historical literature records and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history collections, together with new revisions and occurrences.

  • Venom Evolution Widespread in Fishes: a Phylogenetic Road Map for the Bioprospecting of Piscine Venoms

Address correspondence to W. L. Smith at the address above, or e-mail: [email protected]. Abstract Knowledge of evolutionary relationships or phylogeny allows for effective predictions about the unstudied characteristics of species. These include the presence and biological activity of an organism’s venoms. To date, most venom bioprospecting has focused on snakes, resulting in six stroke and cancer treatment drugs that are nearing U.S. Food and Drug Administration review. Fishes, however, with thousands of venoms, represent an untapped resource of natural products. The first step in- volved in the efficient bioprospecting of these compounds is a phylogeny of venomous fishes. Here, we show the results of such an analysis and provide the first explicit suborder-level phylogeny for spiny-rayed fishes. The results, based on ;1.1 million aligned base pairs, suggest that, in contrast to previous estimates of 200 venomous fishes, .1,200 fishes in 12 clades should be presumed venomous.

The aim of this studs, is to infer Telationships among the species in the family based on morpho- logical characters and to revise the genus-level classification en the basis of the inferred pattern of phylogeny. Twenty-four peristediid and 16 outgroup taxa, i.e., 13 triglid and three hoplichthyid species, were used for the phylo- genetic analysis. Monophyly, of the Peristediidae is highly corroborated and two major clades are recognized in the family. The first clade ineludes Gar- gariscus, Heminodus, Satyrichtbys, and Paraheminodus, and the second in- cludes only Peristedion. It beeame clear that the genus SatyrichthJ)s is a non- monophyletic group, In conclusion, six monophyletic genera are recogriized in the Peristediidae: Oargariscus, Hentinodus, Paraheminodus, Peristedion, Satyrichtltys, and Scalicus, Accordingly, I propose seven new combinations with Scalicus as follows: Scaticus engyceros, S. gilberti, S. hians, S. investiga- toris, S. orientalis, S, quadratorostratus, and S. serrutatus, Key Words: Teleostei, Scorpaeniformes, Peristediidae, phylogenetic sys- tematics. Introduction Armored sea robins, the family Peristediidae (sensu Nelson 2006), comprise about 36 benthic species that are currently classMed tn four or five genera (Miller 1974; Kawai et al, 2004a, 2004b; Nelson 2006).

Email: [email protected] urn:lsid:zoobank.org:author:55EA63EE-63FD-49E6-A216-A6D2BEB91B82 Abstract. The family-group names of animals (superfamily, family, subfamily, supertribe, tribe and subtribe) are regulated by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Particularly, the family names are very important, because they are among the most widely used of all technical animal names. A uniform name and spelling are essential for the location of information. To facilitate this, a list of family- group names for fossil fishes has been compiled. I use the concept ‘Fishes’ in the usual sense, i.e., starting with the Agnatha up to the †Osteolepidiformes. All the family-group names proposed for fossil fishes found to date are listed, together with their author(s) and year of publication. The main goal of the list is to contribute to the usage of the correct family-group names for fossil fishes with a uniform spelling and to list the author(s) and date of those names. No valid family-group name description could be located for the following family-group names currently in usage: †Brindabellaspidae, †Diabolepididae, †Dorsetichthyidae, †Erichalcidae, †Holodipteridae, †Kentuckiidae, †Lepidaspididae, †Loganelliidae and †Pituriaspididae.

Stoeckle*, Mithun Das Mishu and Zachary Charlop-Powers Program for the Human Environment, The Rockefeller University, New York, NY, United States An accurate, comprehensive reference sequence library maximizes information gained from environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding of marine fishes. Here, we used a regional checklist and early results from an ongoing eDNA time series to target mid- Atlantic U.S. coastal fishes lacking reference sequences. We obtained 60 specimens representing 31 species from NOAA trawl surveys and institutional collections, and analyzed 12S and COI barcode regions, the latter to confirm specimen identification. Combined with existing GenBank accessions, the enhanced 12S dataset covered most Edited by: (74%) of 341 fishes on New Jersey State checklist including 95% of those categorized Andrew Stanley Mount, abundant or common. For eDNA time series, we collected water samples approximately Clemson University, United States twice monthly for 24 months at an ocean and a bay site in New Jersey. Metabarcoding Reviewed by: Luke Thompson, was performed using separate 12S primer sets targeting bony and cartilaginous Atlantic Oceanographic fishes. Bioinformatic analysis of Illumina MiSeq fastq files with the augmented library and Meteorological Laboratory (NOAA), United States yielded exact matches for 90% of the 104 fish amplicon sequence variants generated Christopher Meyer, from field samples. Newly obtained reference sequences revealed two southern U.S. Smithsonian National Museum species as relatively common warm season migrants: Gulf kingfish (Menticirrhus of Natural History (SI), United States littoralis) and Brazilian cownose ray (Rhinoptera brasiliensis).

Journal of Fisheries 8(2): 850–853. Abstract Barbels are sensory-appendage near the mouth of many fishes including Cyprinidae, Ictaluridae and Peristediidae and commonly used for identification of the species. Similarly scales and bony plates of fishes also being used in taxonomic studies. Satyrichthys laticeps commonly called armoured searobins, is a deep-sea peristediid that distributed in the Indo-West Pacific region of the world. However, surface structures of has been unknown. The aim of this study is to reveal the microstructures of barbels and bony plates of S. laticeps, occurring in the Andaman Sea of Thailand, for the first time by using a scanning electron microscopy method. The chin barbels were characterised by a pebble-like surface whereas lip barbels resemble wooden texture. Taste bud-like organs were only visible in chin barbels. Bony plates from heads contained small semispheres around spine. In dorsolateral of posterior body, pits appeared at the apices, and semispherical buds were present in the middle and basal parts of tubercles.
