  • Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean Volume
    ISBN 0-9689167-4-x Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean (Davis Strait, Southern Greenland and Flemish Cap to Cape Hatteras) Volume One Acipenseriformes through Syngnathiformes Michael P. Fahay ii Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean iii Dedication This monograph is dedicated to those highly skilled larval fish illustrators whose talents and efforts have greatly facilitated the study of fish ontogeny. The works of many of those fine illustrators grace these pages. iv Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean v Preface The contents of this monograph are a revision and update of an earlier atlas describing the eggs and larvae of western Atlantic marine fishes occurring between the Scotian Shelf and Cape Hatteras, North Carolina (Fahay, 1983). The three-fold increase in the total num- ber of species covered in the current compilation is the result of both a larger study area and a recent increase in published ontogenetic studies of fishes by many authors and students of the morphology of early stages of marine fishes. It is a tribute to the efforts of those authors that the ontogeny of greater than 70% of species known from the western North Atlantic Ocean is now well described. Michael Fahay 241 Sabino Road West Bath, Maine 04530 U.S.A. vi Acknowledgements I greatly appreciate the help provided by a number of very knowledgeable friends and colleagues dur- ing the preparation of this monograph.

The South China Sea is a major water body containing a large and diverse fish fauna. However, many areas of the South China Sea, particularly in Malaysia and Vietnam, have been poorly studied in terms of fish taxonomy and diversity. Local fish scientists and students have frequently faced difficulty when try- ing to identify fishes in their home countries.

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.

    06_250317 part1-3.qxd 12/13/05 7:32 PM Page 15 Phylum Chordata Chordates are placed in the superphylum Deuterostomia. The possible rela- tionships of the chordates and deuterostomes to other metazoans are dis- cussed in Halanych (2004). He restricts the taxon of deuterostomes to the chordates and their proposed immediate sister group, a taxon comprising the hemichordates, echinoderms, and the wormlike Xenoturbella. The phylum Chordata has been used by most recent workers to encompass members of the subphyla Urochordata (tunicates or sea-squirts), Cephalochordata (lancelets), and Craniata (fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals). The Cephalochordata and Craniata form a mono- phyletic group (e.g., Cameron et al., 2000; Halanych, 2004). Much disagree- ment exists concerning the interrelationships and classification of the Chordata, and the inclusion of the urochordates as sister to the cephalochor- dates and craniates is not as broadly held as the sister-group relationship of cephalochordates and craniates (Halanych, 2004). Many excitingCOPYRIGHTED fossil finds in recent years MATERIAL reveal what the first fishes may have looked like, and these finds push the fossil record of fishes back into the early Cambrian, far further back than previously known. There is still much difference of opinion on the phylogenetic position of these new Cambrian species, and many new discoveries and changes in early fish systematics may be expected over the next decade. As noted by Halanych (2004), D.-G. (D.) Shu and collaborators have discovered fossil ascidians (e.g., Cheungkongella), cephalochordate-like yunnanozoans (Haikouella and Yunnanozoon), and jaw- less craniates (Myllokunmingia, and its junior synonym Haikouichthys) over the 15 06_250317 part1-3.qxd 12/13/05 7:32 PM Page 16 16 Fishes of the World last few years that push the origins of these three major taxa at least into the Lower Cambrian (approximately 530–540 million years ago).

  • Nettastomatidae 751
    click for previous page Anguilliformes: Nettastomatidae 751 NETTASTOMATIDAE Duckbill eels by D.G. Smith, National Museum of Natural History, Washington, D.C., USA iagnostic characters: Maximum size approximately 1 m, usually smaller. Body elongate, anus before Dmidlength; tail slender, attenuate, often broken and regenerated. Head slender, snout and jaws elon- gate, snout projecting a variable distance beyond tip of lower jaw. Eye well developed. Mouth large, gape extending to about rear margin of eye; no fleshy flange on upper or lower lip; some teeth exposed when mouth closed; tip of lower jaw fits into depression behind intermaxillary tooth patch. Teeth on jaws and vomer generally small, conical, multiserial, except in Hoplunnis, which has enlarged vomerine fangs. Dorsal and anal fins present, confluent with caudal fin; dorsal fin begins over or slightly behind gill opening. Pectoral fin present or absent. Scales absent. Lateral line complete. Colour: brown, lighter ventrally, without markings; dorsal and anal fins often edged in black, especially posteriorly. elongate snout and jaws Habitat, biology, and fisheries: Nettastomatids live on or near the bottom in moderate to deep water. Al- though they are occasionally taken in trawls, they have no commercial value. Similar families occurring in the area The elongate body and head and the attenuate tail distinguish the Nettastomatidae from all but a few other eels. Derichthyidae (Nessorhamphus): the jaws are elongate, but the snout is depressed and spatulate, and the posterior nostril is near the tip of the snout. Serrivomeridae: have elongate, slender jaws, but the lower jaw usually projects beyond the upper. Most spe- cies have enlarged teeth on the vomer, but these are arranged alternately in a double row, resulting in a saw-like appearance, quite different from the separated fangs present on some nettastomatids (Hoplunnis).In serrivomerids, the anterior and posterior nostrils are located close together, immediately in front of the eye.
