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.

Please cite this article as doi: 10.1002/spp2.1221 This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved A ‘Gempylids’ (snake mackerels) and trichiurids (cutlassfishes) are pelagic fishes characterised by slender to eel-like bodies, deep-sea predatory ecologies, and large fang-like teeth. Several hypotheses of relationships between these groups have been proposed, but a consensus remains elusive. Fossils attributed to ‘gempylids’ and trichiurids consist almost exclusively of highly compressed body fossils and isolated teeth and otoliths. We use micro-computed tomography to redescribe two three- dimensional crania, historically assigned to †Eutrichiurides winkleri and †Progempylus edwardsi, as well as an isolated braincase (NHMUK PV OR 41318).

Biota Neotropica. 19(1): e20170432. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1676-0611-BN-2017-0432 Abstract: Demersal fishery resources are abundant on continental shelves, on the tropical and subtropical coasts, making up a significant part of the marine environment. Marine demersal fishery resources are captured by various fishing methods, often unsustainably, which has led to the depletion of their stocks. In order to inventory the marine demersal ichthyofauna on the Southern Brazilian coast, as well as their conservation status and distribution, this study analyzed the composition and frequency of occurrence of fish captured by pair trawling in 117 fishery fleet landings based in the State of São Paulo between 2005 and 2012.

  • Distribution, Abundance and Biological Interactions of the Cutlassfish Trichiurus Zepturus in the Southern Brazil Subtropical Convergence Ecosystem

Brazil Accepted 5 October 1996 Abstract The distribution, abundance and biological interactions of the cutlassfish Tn’chiurus lepturus in the southern Brazil subtropical convergence ecosystem were studied from demersal trawl surveys conducted along the continental shelf and upper slope from Cape Santa Marta Grande (28”36’S) to Chui (34”45’S) between 1981 and 1987. Trichiurus lepturus was more abundant at bottom water temperatures of over 16°C and in the 40-120 m depth range. From late spring to fall, juveniles of S-30 cm total length (TL) were found in coastal waters, subadults (TL 30-70 cm) mainly in inner shelf waters and adults (TL > 70 cm) in coastal, inner and outer shelf waters. Higher catches of subadults and adults were found associated with thermal fronts in the western boundary of the Subtropical Convergence or with a shelf break upwelling observed in summer. The standing stock in a 58 000 km2 shelf area estimated by the swept area method, ranged from 3066 t ( f 46% Cl) in September 1981 to 37 8 14 t ( f 22% CI) in January 1982. Correlation between occurrences of different size groups of cutlassfishes and other fishes caught in 250 bottom trawl hauls was analyzed.

  • Percomorph Phylogeny: a Survey of Acanthomorphs and a New Proposal
    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 52(1): 554-626, 1993 PERCOMORPH PHYLOGENY: A SURVEY OF ACANTHOMORPHS AND A NEW PROPOSAL G. David Johnson and Colin Patterson ABSTRACT The interrelationships of acanthomorph fishes are reviewed. We recognize seven mono- phyletic terminal taxa among acanthomorphs: Lampridiformes, Polymixiiformes, Paracan- thopterygii, Stephanoberyciformes, Beryciformes, Zeiformes, and a new taxon named Smeg- mamorpha. The Percomorpha, as currently constituted, are polyphyletic, and the Perciformes are probably paraphyletic. The smegmamorphs comprise five subgroups: Synbranchiformes (Synbranchoidei and Mastacembeloidei), Mugilomorpha (Mugiloidei), Elassomatidae (Elas- soma), Gasterosteiformes, and Atherinomorpha. Monophyly of Lampridiformes is justified elsewhere; we have found no new characters to substantiate the monophyly of Polymixi- iformes (which is not in doubt) or Paracanthopterygii. Stephanoberyciformes uniquely share a modification of the extrascapular, and Beryciformes a modification of the anterior part of the supraorbital and infraorbital sensory canals, here named Jakubowski's organ. Our Zei- formes excludes the Caproidae, and characters are proposed to justify the monophyly of the group in that restricted sense. The Smegmamorpha are thought to be monophyletic principally because of the configuration of the first vertebra and its intermuscular bone. Within the Smegmamorpha, the Atherinomorpha and Mugilomorpha are shown to be monophyletic elsewhere. Our Gasterosteiformes includes the syngnathoids and the Pegasiformes

    FOOD HABITS OF BAIT-CAUGHT SKIPJACK TUNA, KATSUWONUS PELAMIS, FROM THE SOUTHWESTERN ATLANTIC OCEAN LISA ANKENBRANDTI ABSTRACT Stomach contents of skipjack tuna captured in 1981-82 hy live pole-and-line vessels off the southern coast of Brazil were analyzed for the presence of larval and juvenile skipjack tuna. The percentage frequency of occurrence. percent number. and percent volume were evaluated. Of the 1.041 stomachs that were exam­ ined for food, 436 were empty. The mean volume of food in all stomachs analyzed was 36.9 mL, of which 18.9 mL was bait and 18.0 mL was prey. The gonostomatid Mau.rolicu8 muelleri and the euphausiid Eupha:usia simil:is were the principal foods. Other important foods were the chub mackerel, Scomber japonicu,; the frigate tuna, A uxi, thazll.rd; gem­ pylids; trichiurids; and carangids. In the study area, adult skipjack tuna were not found to feed on their young. Kruskall-Wallis nonparametric one-way analysis of variance was used to test for differences in the mean volumetric ratios of food items in relation to skipjack size. The percentage of E. simili, in the diet was found to decrease, while the proportion of M. mu.elleri was found to increase with increasing skipjack size. Seasonal variations in the diet were also examined and discussed. Apparently the anatomy of their gill raker apparatus allows skipjack to ingest a wide variety of prey types above a minimum size. These variations in the food can be attributed to the number and size of the prey species in an area. A Brazilian skipjack pole-and-line fishery has been Duarte-Bello 1961; Klawe 1961; Dragovich 1970; developing in the Rio de Janeiro area since 1979 Dragovich and Potthoff 1972).

  • Fish in Disguise: Seafood Fraud in Korea
    Fish in disguise: Seafood fraud in Korea A briefing by the Environmental Justice Foundation 1 Executive summary Between January and December 2018, the Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF) used DNA testing to determine levels of seafood fraud in the Republic of Korea. The results showed that over a third of samples tested were mislabelled. This mislabelling defrauds consumers, risks public health, harms the marine environment and can be associated with serious human rights abuses across the world. These findings demonstrate the urgent need for greater transparency and traceability in Korean seafood, including imported products. Key findings: • Over a third of seafood samples (34.8%, 105 of 302 samples) genetically analysed were mislabelled. • Samples labelled Fleshy Prawn, Fenneropenaeus chinensis (100%), Japanese Eel, Anguilla japonica (67.7%), Mottled Skate, Raja pulchra (53.3%) and Common Octopus, Octopus vulgaris (52.9%) had the highest rates of mislabelling. • Not a single sample labelled Fleshly Prawn was the correct species. • Mislabelling was higher in restaurants, fish markets and online than in general markets or superstores. • By processed types, sushi (53.9%), fresh fish (38.9%) and sashimi (33.6%) were the most likely to be mislabelled. • The seafood fraud identified by this research has direct negative impacts for consumers. It is clear that for some species sampled consumers were likely to be paying more than they should. For example, more than half of the eel and skate samples that were labelled domestic were actually found to be imported, which can cost only half of the price of domestic products. Swordfish mislabelled as Bluefin Tuna can be sold for four to five times as much.
