VOLUME 1, LIST OF TITLES Compiled, edited, and published (1988, copyright) by Robert D. Hoyt Department of Biology, Western Kentucky University, Bowling Green, Kentucky 42101 Updated November 2002 by Tom Kennedy Aquatic Biology, University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, Alabama 35487-0206 and Darrel E. Snyder Larval Fish laboratory, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado 80523-1474 Dr. Hoyt granted the American Fisheries Society Early Life History Section permission to prepare, update, and distribute his 13,717-record bibliography (comprehensive for literature through 1987, but out-of-print) as a personal computer file or searchable resource on the Internet so long as the file is made available to all interested parties and neither it nor printed versions of it are sold for profit. Because of computer search capabilities, it was deemed unnecessary to provide a computer text version of Dr. Hoyt's subject, scientific name, common name, family name, and location indices (Volume II). As chairman of the Section's bibliography committee, I prepared and partially edited version 1.0 of this file from Dr. Hoyt's original VAX computer tapes and made it available in 1994 for download and use as a searchable resource on the internet. Dr. Julian Humphries (then at Cornell University) and Peter Brueggeman (Scripps Institution of Oceanography Library) prepared and posted the gopher- searchable and web-searchable versions, respectively. The file has now been further edited for duplicate records and errors by Tom Kennedy and myself and partially updated by Tom Kennedy. For the update, Tom incorporated a file of records through 1997 provided by George W. Boehlert (NMFS Southwest Fisheries Science Center, 1352 Lighthouse Avenue, Pacific Grove, California 93950-2097), perused over 25 academic and governmental web sites, and used Current Contents software for published literature from 1999 to 5 August 2002. I also added a few dozen records. The bibliography now includes 15,596 records from 1842 through July 2002. Many references are yet to be identified and added to the bibliography for the period of 1988 through 1997 and especially the year 1998. Users of the bibliography, AFS Early Life History Section members, and anyone else having published in the field are encouraged to submit additional corrections and bibliographic records to me for future updates. Please compare records herein with your own bibliographic files and personal publication lists (including "grey" literature and agency final reports). Bibliographic format generally follows American Fisheries Society guidelines except that standard journal abbreviations are acceptable. Your contributions will be duly acknowledged. If anyone is interested in becoming more involved with the bibliography, much as Tom Kennedy did for this update, I am willing to share or transfer responsibility for maintaining and updating it for the AFS Early Life History Section.

Box 56, Dunedin 9054, New Zealand; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +47-481-37-867 Abstract: Free-living species often receive greater conservation attention than the parasites they support, with parasite conservation often being hindered by a lack of parasite biodiversity knowl- edge. This study aimed to determine the current state of knowledge regarding parasites of the Southern Hemisphere freshwater fish family Galaxiidae, in order to identify knowledge gaps to focus future research attention. Specifically, we assessed how galaxiid–parasite knowledge differs among geographic regions in relation to research effort (i.e., number of studies or fish individuals examined, extent of tissue examination, taxonomic resolution), in addition to ecological traits known to influ- ence parasite richness. To date, ~50% of galaxiid species have been examined for parasites, though the majority of studies have focused on single parasite taxa rather than assessing the full diversity of macro- and microparasites. The highest number of parasites were observed from Argentinean galaxiids, and studies in all geographic regions were biased towards the highly abundant and most widely distributed galaxiid species, Galaxias maculatus.

  • 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 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.

  • Presence of the Red Jollytail, Brachygalaxias Bullocki (Regan
    Correa-Araneda et al. Revista Chilena de Historia Natural 2014, 87:20 http://www.revchilhistnat.com/content/87/1/20 SHORT REPORT Open Access Presence of the red jollytail, Brachygalaxias bullocki (Regan, 1908) (Galaxiformes: Galaxiidae), in freshwater forested wetlands from Chile Francisco Correa-Araneda1,2,3*, Patricio De Los Ríos2,3 and Evelyn Habit4 Abstract Background: Brachygalaxias bullocki (Regan, 1908) is a small-sized freshwater fish species (41 to 46 mm) and endemic to Chile. Its biology has still various knowledge gaps, and its distribution range has been reduced in the last decade due to human intervention. Findings: In this article, for the first time, its presence in forested wetlands of Chile (38°52′ to 39°02′ S) is documented. The presence of this species in these ecosystems is restricted to wetlands with permanent water regime and depths ranging from 15.7 to 83.5 cm. Conclusions: The physicochemical habitat conditions show important seasonal variations, suggesting that B. bullocki is resistant to a wide range of temperatures, as well as different levels of dissolved oxygen and conductivity. Keywords: Brachygalaxias bullocki; Fish fauna; Forested wetlands; Conservation Findings Consequently, B. bullocki changes in the past 26 years from Brachygalaxias bullocki (Regan, 1908) is an endemic, small- a vulnerable status of conservation (Glade 1988; Campos sized (41 to 46 mm) fish species (Stokell 1954; Cifuentes et al. 1998) to almost endanger (MMA 2014). Our goal is et al. 2012). It is endemic to Chile and still several know- to document, for the first time, the presence of this species ledge gaps about its biology exist (Habit and Victoriano in forested wetlands of Chile, providing more evidence on 2012).

The natural environment, with its flora and fauna, has been subjected to a strong, direct or indirect, anthropogenic impact. In consequence, the total population of wild animals has been considerably reduced, despite efforts to compensate for these errors and expand the scope of animal legal protection to include endangered species. Many animal populations on the verge of extinction have been saved. These actions are ongoing and embrace endangered species as well as those which may be threatened with extinction in the near future as a result of climate change. The changes affect economically valuable species and those of low value, whose populations are still relatively strong and stable. Pre-emptive protective actions and developing methods for the reproduction and rearing of rare species may ensure their survival when the ecological balance is upset. The blue bream is one such species which should be protected while there is still time. Abstract: The blue bream Ballerus ballerus (L.) is one of two species of the Ballerus genus occurring in Citation: Piech, P.; Kujawa, R. Europe. The biotechnology for its reproduction under controlled conditions needs to be developed to Artificial Reproduction of Blue Bream conserve its local populations.

Gobies are also an important but often- 28 underestimated part of coastal marine food webs. In this study, we describe and analyse the 29 morphology of the sagittae, the largest otoliths, of 25 species inhabiting the Adriatic and 30 northwestern Mediterranean seas. Our goal was to test the usefulness and efficiency of 31 sagittae otoliths for species identification. Our analysis of otolith contours was based on 32 mathematical descriptors called wavelets, which are related to multi-scale decompositions of 33 contours. Two methods of classification were used: an iterative system based on 10 wavelets 34 that searches the Anàlisi de Formes d'Otòlits (AFORO) database, and a discriminant method 35 based only on the fifth wavelet.
