About 26,840 species are contained within the Teleostei, accounting for more than half of all living vertebrates and over 96% of all living fishes. Teleosts comprise 517 families, of which 69 are extinct, leaving 448 extant families; of these, about 43% have no fossil record.

This type of tail primitively results from an ontogenetic fusion of centra (bodies of vertebrae) and the possession of paired bracing bones located bilaterally along the dorsal region of the caudal skeleton, derived ontogenetically from the neural arches (uroneurals) of the ural (tail) centra.

Harris and Jessica Stephen Marine Resources Research Institute South Carolina Department of Natural Resources 217 Fort Johnson Road P.O. Box 12559 Charleston, SC 29412 I. Characterization of commercial reef fish catch and bycatch off the southeast coast of the United States. Patrick J. Harris, South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, Charleston, SC 29412. Grant Number: NA03NMF4540416 July 2005. II. Abstract There is clearly a need to characterize the entire catch of commercial fishermen and compare differences in abundance and species diversity to what is caught in fishery-independent gear. As we move towards a multi-species management approach, these types of data are essential. In addition, estimates of release mortality are needed for stock assessments but currently this is not being measured for fishery-dependent data. Many reef fishes captured at depths greater than ~ 20 m often have problems submerging when released by commercial fishermen. The goal of the research project was to characterize the entire (retained and discarded) catch of reef fishes from a selected commercial fisherman including total catch composition and disposition of fishes that were released. During April- November 2004, Captain Mark Marhefka dedicated one fishing trip (5-7 day duration) each month to the collection of fishery-dependent data. Date, location and collection number were recorded for each site fished by Captain Marhefka using a PDA equipped with a GPS.

Generally, in this group, the upper jaw consists of the premaxilla, maxilla, and supramaxilla. The lower jaw consists of the dentary, anguloarticular, retroarticular, and sesamoid articular. In higher taxa, the premaxilla bears ascending, articular, and postmaxillary processes. The maxilla usually bears a ventral and a dorsal articular process. The supramaxilla is present only in some taxa. The dentary is usually toothed and bears coronoid and posteroventral processes. The retroarticular is small and located at the posteroventral corner of the anguloarticular.

The study of the Portuguese marine ichthyofauna has a long historical tradition, rooted back in the 18th Century.

The list is based on historical literature records and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history collections, together with new revisions and occurrences.
