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.

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.

  • Ambush Predator’ Guild – Are There Developmental Rules Underlying Body Shape Evolution in Ray-Finned Fishes? Erin E Maxwell1* and Laura AB Wilson2
    Maxwell and Wilson BMC Evolutionary Biology 2013, 13:265 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/13/265 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Regionalization of the axial skeleton in the ‘ambush predator’ guild – are there developmental rules underlying body shape evolution in ray-finned fishes? Erin E Maxwell1* and Laura AB Wilson2 Abstract Background: A long, slender body plan characterized by an elongate antorbital region and posterior displacement of the unpaired fins has evolved multiple times within ray-finned fishes, and is associated with ambush predation. The axial skeleton of ray-finned fishes is divided into abdominal and caudal regions, considered to be evolutionary modules. In this study, we test whether the convergent evolution of the ambush predator body plan is associated with predictable, regional changes in the axial skeleton, specifically whether the abdominal region is preferentially lengthened relative to the caudal region through the addition of vertebrae. We test this hypothesis in seven clades showing convergent evolution of this body plan, examining abdominal and caudal vertebral counts in over 300 living and fossil species. In four of these clades, we also examined the relationship between the fineness ratio and vertebral regionalization using phylogenetic independent contrasts. Results: We report that in five of the clades surveyed, Lepisosteidae, Esocidae, Belonidae, Sphyraenidae and Fistulariidae, vertebrae are added preferentially to the abdominal region. In Lepisosteidae, Esocidae, and Belonidae, increasing abdominal vertebral count was also significantly related to increasing fineness ratio, a measure of elongation. Two clades did not preferentially add abdominal vertebrae: Saurichthyidae and Aulostomidae. Both of these groups show the development of a novel caudal region anterior to the insertion of the anal fin, morphologically differentiated from more posterior caudal vertebrae.

CALIFORNIA MARINE FISH LANDINGS FOR 1972 LEO PINKAS Marine Resources Region 1.1. INTRODUCTION The protection, propagation, and wise utilization of California's living marine resources (established as common property by statute, Section 1600, Fish and Game Code) is dependent upon the welding of biological, environment- al, economic, and sociological factors. Fundamental to each of these factors, as well as the entire management pro- cess, are harvest records. The California Department of Fish and Game began gathering commercial fisheries land- ing data in 1916. Commercial fish catches were first published in 1929 for the years 1926 and 1927. This report, the 32nd in the landing series, is for the calendar year 1972. It summarizes commercial fishing activities in marine as well as fresh waters and includes the catches of the sportfishing partyboat fleet. Preliminary landing data are published annually in the circular series which also enumerates certain fishery products produced from the catch.

The program was initiated in coordination with Dr. Craig Lilyestrom of the Puerto Rico Department of Natural and Environmental Resources (DNER), who has consistently supported the successful completion of this effort. He also reviewed a draft of this report prior to its finalization. Representatives of the commercial guided marine recreational fisher and bait fisher communities were very supportive, although some components of the non-commercial recreational community were more reticent. Mr. Jorge Casillas, a graduate student at the University of Puerto Rico, Mr. Eloy Martinez, an aspiring graduate student recently accepted at the University of South Florida, and Ms. Maria Camacho-Rodríguez of the DNER were of great help with certain logistic arrangements and in conducting certain interviews. Messrs. Mark Hardin and Frank Hearne provided helpful assistance and advice, and Christopher LeGore assisted with photographic production. Finally, Mr. Jose M. Berríos served as Contract Manager for DNER, as ably assisted by Ms. Aitza Pabón. All of these contributions were essential to the successful conduct of this effort, and all are appreciated.

Woods Curator, Division of Fishes AND Robert H. Kanazawa Formerly Assistant, Division of Fishes In spite of the extensive collecting of shore fishes in Bermuda by the New York Zoological Society and earlier workers the fish fauna of these isolated islands is still far from completely known. During the summer of 1948 the members of the Bermuda Deep Sea Expedi- tion of Chicago Natural History Museum, operating from the Bermuda Biological Station for Research, were able to engage in only a limited amount of shore fishing. The principal collecting of this expedition was by means of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution's vessel, the 98-foot ketch, Caryn. Five poison stations in shoal waters were worked, four sweeps were made with a 75-foot otter trawl in 60 feet of water in the lagoon, and at odd times some additional specimens were gathered in traps and seines; a few pelagic fishes and young of shore fishes were taken in the deep sea nets at the surface, in sargassum, swimming to our light at night, or on a feather trolled behind the Caryn. By far the greater number of new records and species of Bermuda fishes have been found during the course of cataloguing a large col- lection made during the past forty years by Mr.
