  • Pholidae Gill 1893 Gunnels
    ISSN 1545-150X California Academy of Sciences A N N O T A T E D C H E C K L I S T S O F F I S H E S Number 9 September 2003 Family Pholidae Gill 1893 gunnels By Catherine W. Mecklenburg Field Associate, Department of Ichthyology, California Academy of Sciences c/o Point Stephens Research, P.O. Box 210307, Auke Bay, Alaska 99821, U.S.A. email: [email protected] Gunnels are elongate, compressed, blennylike fishes of the marine littoral zone. They bear a close resem- blance to pricklebacks (Stichaeidae). One dorsal fin, about twice as long as anal fin and extending from head to caudal fin. Dorsal fin supported by 73–100 stiff spines, anal fin with 1–3 spines in front of 32–53 soft rays; both fins reaching or confluent with base of caudal fin. Caudal fin rounded. Anal fin long, but shorter relative to body length than in pricklebacks. Pectoral fins absent in some gunnel species, minute or very small in others. Pelvic fins rudimentary, consisting of 1 spine and 1 ray; or absent, including pelvic girdle. No fleshy cirri on head or body. One pair of nostrils. Body covered with tiny, inconspicuous, mucus-covered cycloid scales. Mechanosensory canals of head opening through pores typically constant in number: nasal 2, occipital 3, interorbital 1, postorbital 6, suborbital 6, preopercular 5, and mandibular 4. Body lateral line represented by mediolateral row of superficial neuromasts, generally not discernible in preserved material. Teeth small and conical. Gill membranes broadly joined and free from the isthmus.

  • Comprehensive Estuarine Fish Inventory Program: Great Bay-Mullica River: Year Three
    Draft Final Report for Title: Comprehensive Estuarine Fish Inventory Program: Great Bay-Mullica River: Year Three Investigator names and institution: Kenneth W. Able and Thomas M. Grothues, Rutgers the State University of New Jersey 2020 Problem Statement and Needs Assessment: Estuaries are important spawning, nursery, and harvest areas for fish and invertebrates of recreational, commercial, and ecological importance in the temperate waters of the northeastern U. S., including New Jersey (Able and Fahay 1998, 2010a). Our knowledge of the life history and ecology of fishes in estuaries has been improving in recent years, in part, because the information on these topics is in increasing demand by ichthyologists, estuarine ecologists, pollution biologists and resource managers at local, state, federal and international levels (Able 2016). The fishes constitute one of the largest portions of the animal biomass and thus they are important to estuarine ecosystems. Sport and commercial fishermen are also becoming increasingly interested in fish life histories and ecology because they are beginning to play a larger advisory role where fish habitats and fish survival are concerned. This interest is extending to forage fishes. Recently, these audiences have been further broadened by an increasingly informed general public, who are interested in (and alarmed by) the conflicting interests of aesthetic and recreational uses versus negative impacts resulting from human population pressures that bring habitat destruction and direct and indirect (non-point) sources of pollution. Some have estimated that up to 75% of economically important east coast fish populations are to some degree “estuarine dependent”. A focus on estuarine fishes is also especially appropriate, largely because it is while they are in estuaries that they encounter several critical life history “bottlenecks” that can greatly affect survival rates and the resulting abundance of certain populations that we wish to harvest or conserve.

Grant Gilmore, Jr. Christopher Donohoe Dougl as Cooke Davi d Herrema INTRODUCTION It is the intent of this presentation to briefly describe regional fish habitats and to list the fishes associated with these habitats in the Indian River lagoon, its freshwater tributaries and the adjacent continental shelf to a depth of 200 m. A brief historical review of other regional ichthyological studies is also given. Data presented here revises the first regional description and checklist of fishes in east central Florida (Gilmore, 1977). The Indian River is a narrow estuarine lagoon system extending from Ponce de Leon Inlet in Vol usia County south to Jupiter Inlet in Palm Beach County (Fig. 1). It lies within the zone of overlap between two well known faunal regimes (i.e. the warm temperate Carolinian and the tropical Caribbean). To the north of the region, Hildebrand and Schroeder (1928), Fowler (1945), Struhsaker (1969), Dahlberg (1971), and others have made major icthyofaunal reviews of the coastal waters of the southeastern United States.
