E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Pseudochromis fuligifinis is described from 12 specimens from Verde Island, west coast of Mindoro and Apo Reef in the Philippines. It closely resembles P. elongatus Lubbock from Indonesia and P. striatus Gill, Shao & Chen from the Batanes Islands, Taiwan and the Ryukyu Islands, but differs in various meristic and coloration details. Manonichthys scintilla is described from five specimens from Coron Island and Apo Reef. It differs from congeners in fin shape and live coloration details. Key words: Pseudochromis, Manonichthys, new species, systematics, Philippines, fish Introduction The Philippine Islands has a diverse ichthyofauna with over 3,017 marine fish species reported from the islands (Froese and Pauly, 2011). Recent fieldwork by the second author and associates has yielded several new species, including two new species of the pseudochromid subfamily Pseudochrominae. This subfamily was revised by Gill (2004), who recognised 80 species in 10 genera, though additional new species have been described subsequently (e.g., Allen & Erdmann 2007, Allen et al. 2008a, b, Gill & Allen 2004, 2011, Gill et al. 2009, Gill & Tanaka 2004, Gill & Zajonz 2011). We herein describe the new Philippine species, one of which belongs in Pseudochromis Rüp- pell and the other in Manonichthys Gill. Material and methods Methods of counting and measuring follow Gill (2004). In the descriptions of the new species, counts and measure- ments for the holotype are given first, followed (where variation was noted) by value ranges or frequency distribu- tions for the paratypes in parentheses. Frequency distributions are given in the form “x fn”, where “x” is a given meristic value, and “n” is its frequency (bilateral counts included where appropriate). Institutional codes follow Leviton et al. (1985). Comparisons with other pseudochromine species are based on materials listed in Gill (2004) and on four paratypes of Manonichthys jamali (USNM 389145, 2: 25.8–45.3 mm SL; WAM P.32854-001, 2: 43.7– 52.9 mm SL).

E-mail: [email protected] Gill (2004) recognised fifty-seven species in the Indo-Pacific genus Pseudochromis Rüppell (1835) but noted that the genus is undiagnosed cladistically and effectively serves as a catch-all for species that can’t be placed in other pseudochromine genera (sensu Gill 2013). Since publication of Gill’s revision, 13 additional species of Pseudochromis have been described, mostly based on recent collections from the highly diverse Coral Triangle area of the West Pacific (Gill & Allen 2004, 2011; Allen et al. 2008; Gill et al. 2009, 2012a,b; Gill & Williams 2011; Gill & Zajonz 2011; Allen & Erdmann 2012). We herein describe an additional new species, which is known on the basis of a single specimen from Kii Peninsula, Honshu, Japan, and from several photographs from the Kii Peninsula and Izu Islands, Japan.

Email: [email protected] 2Ichthyology, Australian Museum, 6 College Street, Sydney, New South Wales 2010, Australia. Abstract The monotypic Australian pseudochromid fish genera Assiculus and Assiculoides had been previously included in the sub- family Pseudochrominae on the basis of symplesiomorphic characters. Osteological synapomorphies are identified in sup- port of a closer relationship to the remaining pseudochromid subfamilies. Two synapomorphies (five or fewer infraorbital bones, haemal spine of preural vertebra 2 attached to centrum) diagnose a clade consisting of Assiculoides, Pseudople- siopinae, Anisochrominae and Congrogadinae. Two additional synapomorphies (parhypural not separate from hypurals 1+2, total caudal-fin rays modally 27 or fewer) diagnose a more inclusive clade that also includes Assiculus. Two new subfamilies are erected to reflect these relationships. Key words: osteology; Assiculoidinae new subfamily; Assiculinae new subfamily; Australia; systematics Introduction The Indo-Pacific reef-fish family Pseudochromidae is currently divided into four subfamilies, three of which are demonstrably monophyletic: Anisochrominae (Gill & Fricke 2001); Congrogadinae (Godkin & Winterbottom 1985); Pseudoplesiopinae (Gill & Edwards 1999). The fourth subfamily, Pseudochrominae, is by far the largest with 10 genera and nearly 100 described species, but is diagnosed only by symplesiomorphic characters (Gill 2004): pelvic-fin rays I,5 (versus I,4 or fewer); all segmented pelvic-fin rays branched (vs.

  • An Overview of Marine Ornamental Fish Breeding As a Potential Support to the Aquarium Trade and to the Conservation of Natural Fish Populations
    L.M. Domínguez & Á.S. Botella, Int. J. Sus. Dev. Plann. Vol. 9, No. 4 (2014) 608–632 AN OVERVIEW OF MARINE ORNAMENTAL FISH BREEDING AS A POTENTIAL SUPPORT TO THE AQUARIUM TRADE AND TO THE CONSERVATION OF NATURAL FISH POPULATIONS L.M. DOMÍNGUEZ & Á.S. BOTELLA Grupo de Investigación en Acuicultura, ULPGC & ICCM, Telde, Canary Islands. ABSTRACT The aquarium fi sh trade moves more than two billion live fi sh worldwide per year. For fresh water organisms, more than 90% of them are captive bred, but over 90% of commercial marine organisms are wild-caught. Wild-caught organisms come mainly from coral reefs and adjacent areas. Destructive collection techniques, such as cyanide, quinaldine, even dynamite or explosives, are commonly used. These techniques not only affect the target fi sh but causes terrible damages to the ecosystems and the reef habitat itself, as well as coral and crustacean bleaching. This damage has not been assessed globally, but locally, where populations have been overharvested; it has created environmental imbalances due to the selective fi sheries focused on a few species, sexes or ages with high market value. A number of measures can be taken in order to reduce the environmental damage. The most important depend largely on the efforts by local governments, community groups, environ- mental organisations and the private sector. The fi nal objective of these measures is to place the ornamental trade on a sustainable basis. Moreover, new research into aquaculture technology on target species with the aim of diminishing the fi shing pressure on wild stocks as well as increasing the effectiveness of aquaculture facili- ties must be carried out.

Mitochondrial genomes of 26 cichlid species were amplified by long-range PCR followed by the 454 pyrosequencing on a GS Roche Junior platform. The primers for long-range PCR were designed specifically in the mitogenomic regions with low interspecific variability. The whole mitogenome of most species was amplified as three fragments using the following primer sets: for the region between position 2 500 bp and 7 300 bp (of mitogenome starting with tRNA-Phe), we used forward primers ZM2500F (5'-ACG ACC TCG ATG TTG GAT CAG GAC ATC C-3'), L2508KAW (Kawaguchi et al. 2001) or S-LA-16SF (Miya & Nishida 2000) and reverse primer ZM7350R (5'-TTA AGG CGT GGT CGT GGA AGT GAA GAA G-3').

  • Systematics of Callogobius (Teleostei: Gobiidae)
    Systematics of Callogobius (Teleostei: Gobiidae) by Naomi Rachel Delventhal A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirement of the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Biological Sciences University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2018 by Naomi R Delventhal i Abstract Callogobius is a large genus of gobies characterized by fleshy ridges of papillae on the head in both horizontal and vertical rows. The taxonomy and phylogenetics of the genus are difficult and poorly understood. The purpose of my research is to better categorize the diversity within Callogobius by identifying and describing morphological characters and using them to aid species identification and discovery of monophyletic sub-groups within the genus. In this thesis, I construct separate phylogenetic hypothesizes for the intrarelationships of Callogobius using morphological and molecular data, respectively. Parsimony analysis using morphological characters (external anatomy and osteology) supports the presence of three monophyletic groups within Callogobius, the hasseltii, sclateri and maculipinnis groups. A fourth group, the tutuilae group, contains several species, at least some of which share some characters with members of the sclateri group. A molecular phylogenetic approach using four genes (zic1, a partial fragment containing 12S, tRNAVal and 16S, rag1 and sreb2) and analyzed using maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference supports the monophyly of Callogobius, the hasseltii, sclateri and maculipinnis groups; the tutuilae group is resolved as paraphyletic with respect to the sclateri group. Reductive traits, such as small size and loss of head pores appear to have evolved multiple times independently. In addition to phylogenetic analyses, I address some of the taxonomic issues within Callogobius through the descriptions of two new species, C.
