ABSTRACT

A total of 165 species from 47 families offishes have been identified and deposited in the Reference Collection of the Phuket Marine Biological Center, Thailand during the workshop in andbiology of fishes from the Andaman Sea.

INTRODUCTION SPECIES LIST ADDED TO PMBC REFERENCE COLLECTION During the workshop in taxonomy and biolo- gy of fishes from the Andaman Sea held at the Phuket CIASS ELASMOBRANCHtr Marine Biological Center, a number of fishes were col- OTdeTRA.IIF,ORMES lected and identified by the participants. The material f,,amily Dasyatidae was collected from various places, but mainly from the markets in Phuket town. Most of fishes from the Dasyatis (Himantura) gerrqrdi (Gray, 1851) market were food ftshes, such as mullets, sand whit- ing and . A sea gypsy village at Rawai Beach CI"ASS TELEOSTONtr was also a good place for collecting, both food fishes OTdeTCLUpEIFORMES and ornamental fishes. Ornamental fishes were mainly Family Elopidae collected from the coral reefareas along the coast and nearby islands. A number of unidentified fishes which Elops machnala (Forsskil ,lii5) were kept in the unsorted specimen room of the Refer- ence Collection were selected for identification dur- FamilyMegalopidae ing the workshop and included in the present report. Megalops cyprinoides (Broussonet, 1782) A total of 165 fish species from 4'7 families have been identified during the workshop and depos- Family Clupeidae -Anodontostoma ited in the PMBC Reference Collection. As a supple- chacunda (Hamilton-Buchanan, mentto the fish list givenby Nateewathanaet al.(1993), lB22) 93 species were added to the Collection. The present Escualosa thoracata (Valenciennes, 1847) list includes the whole fish material identified during Pellona ditchela Valenciennes, 184? the workshop.
