Fish larvae and particularly eggs are 30 difficult to identify morphologically, therefore the DNA barcoding method was employed to 31 identify 4,388 specimens, resulting in 157 Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) corresponding 32 to species. Scarus sp., Halichoeres dispilus, Xyrichtys mundiceps, Euthynnus lineatus, 33 Ammodytoides gilli, Synodus lacertinus, Etrumeus acuminatus, Chanos chanos, Haemulon 34 flaviguttatum, and Vinciguerria lucetia were the most abundant and frequent species recorded.

    Guide to the Coastal Marine Fishes of California

    STATE OF CALIFORNIA THE RESOURCES AGENCY DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME FISH BULLETIN 157 GUIDE TO THE COASTAL MARINE FISHES OF CALIFORNIA by DANIEL J. MILLER and ROBERT N. LEA Marine Resources Region 1972 ABSTRACT This is a comprehensive identification guide encompassing all shallow marine fishes within California waters. Geographic range limits, maximum size, depth range, a brief color description, and some meristic counts including, if available: fin ray counts, lateral line pores, lateral line scales, gill rakers, and vertebrae are given. Body proportions and shapes are used in the keys and a state- ment concerning the rarity or commonness in California is given for each species. In all, 554 species are described. Three of these have not been re- corded or confirmed as occurring in California waters but are included since they are apt to appear. The remainder have been recorded as occurring in an area between the Mexican and Oregon borders and offshore to at least 50 miles. Five of California species as yet have not been named or described, and ichthyologists studying these new forms have given information on identification to enable inclusion here. A dichotomous key to 144 families includes an outline figure of a repre- sentative for all but two families. Keys are presented for all larger families, and diagnostic features are pointed out on most of the figures. Illustrations are presented for all but eight species. Of the 554 species, 439 are found primarily in depths less than 400 ft., 48 are meso- or bathypelagic species, and 67 are deepwater bottom dwelling forms rarely taken in less than 400 ft.

A system of specific 16 primers and a Minor Groove Binding (MGB) TaqMan probe based on 17 sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome b region was designed. The 18 method was successfully tested in 81 specimens of Scomber scombrus and 19 related species and validated in 26 different commercial samples. An average 20 Threshold cycle (Ct) value of 15.3 was obtained with Scomber scombrus DNA. 21 With the other species tested fluorescence signal was not detected or Ct was 22 significantly higher (P<0.001). The efficiency of the assay was estimated to be 23 92.41%, with 100% specificity, and no cross reactivity was detected with any 24 other species. These results reveal that the developed method is a rapid and 25 efficient tool to unequivocally identify S.

    Workshop for Red List Assessments of Groupers

    Workshop for Global Red List Assessments of Groupers Family Serranidae; subfamily Epinephelinae FINAL REPORT April 30th, 2007 Prepared by Yvonne Sadovy Chair, Groupers & Wrasses Specialist Group The University of Hong Kong (24 pages) Introduction The groupers (Family Serranidae; Subfamily Epinephelinae) comprise about 160 species globally in the tropics and sub-tropics. Many groupers are commercially important and assessments to date on a subset of species suggest that the group might be particularly vulnerable to fishing. An assessment of all grouper species is needed to examine the sub- family as a whole and set conservation and management priorities as indicated. The Serranidae is also a priority family for the Global Marine Species Assessment. This report summarizes the outcomes of the first complete red listing assessment for groupers conducted by the Groupers and Wrasses IUCN Specialist Group (GWSG) at a workshop in Hong Kong. The Workshop for Global Red List Assessments of Groupers took place 7-11 February, 2007, at the Robert Black College of the University of Hong Kong (HKU). The 5-day workshop was designed to complete red list assessments for all grouper species. Of a total of 161 grouper species globally, only 22 are included on the IUCN Red List with a currently valid assessment; several need to be reassessed and the remaining 100+ have never been assessed. The aim of the workshop, therefore, was to assess 139 groupers to complete all 161 species. The workshop had 23 participants, including many highly respected grouper experts, coming from eleven countries (see cover photo of participants). All members of the GWSG were invited in circulation.
