The Generic and Infrageneric Taxa Described by Ethelwynn Trewavas Environmental Biology o f Fishes 41: 55-61,1994. © 1994 Kluwer Academic Publishers. Printed in the Netherlands.

Smith Institute o f Ichthyology, Private Bag 1015, Grahamstown, 6140 South Africa Either as the sole author, or in collaboration (especially with C. Tate Regan), Ethelwynn Trewavas was re­ sponsible for describing and naming at least 462 genera, subgenera, species and subspecies. Doubtless, in compiling this index (which, intentionally does not include nomina nova she established) I have overlooked Trewavas taxa; for those oversights I can only apologise.

    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. Jon Hare undertook a painstakingly critical review of the entire monograph, corrected omissions, inconsistencies, and errors of fact, and made suggestions which markedly improved its organization and presentation.

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.

  • Mitochondrial ND2 Phylogeny of Tilapiines and the Evolution of Parental Care Systems in the African Cichlid Fishes
    What, if Anything, is a Tilapia?ÐMitochondrial ND2 Phylogeny of Tilapiines and the Evolution of Parental Care Systems in the African Cichlid Fishes Vera Klett and Axel Meyer Department of Biology, University of Konstanz, Germany We estimated a novel phylogeny of tilapiine cichlid ®sh (an assemblage endemic to Africa and the Near East) within the African cichlid ®shes on the basis of complete mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 (ND2) gene sequences. The ND2 (1,047 bp) gene was sequenced in 39 tilapiine cichlids (38 species and 1 subspecies) and in an additional 14 nontilapiine cichlid species in order to evaluate the traditional morphologically based hypothesis of the respective monophyly of the tilapiine and haplochromine cichlid ®sh assemblages. The analyses included many additional cichlid lineages, not only the so-called tilapiines, but also lineages from Lake Tanganyika, east Africa, the Neotropics and an out-group from Madagascar with a wide range of parental care and mating systems. Our results suggest, in contrast to the historical morphology-based hypotheses from Regan (1920, 1922), Trewavas (1983), and Stiassny (1991), that the tilapiines do not form a monophyletic group because there is strong evidence that the genus Tilapia is not monophyletic but divided into at least ®ve distinct groups. In contrast to this ®nding, an allozyme analysis of Pouyaud and AgneÁse (1995), largely based on the same samples as used here, found a clustering of the Tilapia species into only two groups. This discrepancy is likely caused by the difference in resolution power of the two marker systems used. Our data suggest that only type species Tilapia sparrmanii Smith (1840) should retain the genus name Tilapia.

Abstract This study reports the presence of Enterogyrus cichlidarum Paperna, 1963 (Monogenoidea: Ancyrocephalidae) in the stomach of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus Linnaeus, 1758, cultured in the State of Santa Catarina, Southern Brazil. A total of 98 fish originating from a fish pond culture in Joinville, South Brazil, were examined. The fish were collected in the winter of 2007, in the summer, autumn, winter and spring of 2008. After anesthetized and sacrificed in a benzocaine solution, their stomachs were removed, bathed in 55°C water, fixed in 5% formalin for quantification and attainment of the prevalence rate, mean intensity, mean abundance and mounted in Hoyer's. Prevalence rate throughout the period was 94%. The greatest mean intensities occurred in August 2008 and November 2008, followed by July 2007, January and May 2008. The great majority of Monogenoidea are branchial and cutaneous ectoparasites, however reports of its invasion in the internal organs are rare.
