No. 3. ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE FISHES OF THE AIj^EGHANY REGION OF SOUTH CAROMNA, GEORGIA, AND TENNESSEE, WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW OR LITTLE KNOWN SPECIES. By Dwid S. Jordan and Alembert W. Brayton. Tbis paper is based primarily on the collections made by the present writers, assisted by Mr. C. If. Gilbert, and a party of students from Butler University, during the past summer (1877), in various streams of South Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee. For the purpose of a more complete discussion of questions of geographical distribution, the au- thors have brought together, wit I) their own observations, those previ- ously made on the fish-faunae of the same streams by other writers, especially the observations on the fishes of the Tennessee Basin by Professor Agassiz ;* those on the fishes of the basins of the Santeet (Catawba), Teunessee,f and Cumberland,!] by Professor Cope, and on the fishes of the Cumberland, Tennessee, Alabama, and Altamahai * Notice of a Colleotiou of Fishes from t ha Sout beru Bend of tlie Tcuuessee River, in Iho State of Alabama.

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.

  • Effectiveness of FISK, an Invasiveness Screening Tool for Nonnative
    Risk Analysis DOI: 10.1111/risa.12050 Effectiveness of FISK, an Invasiveness Screening Tool for Non-Native Freshwater Fishes, to Perform Risk Identification Assessments in the Iberian Peninsula David Almeida,1,2 Filipe Ribeiro,3,4 Pedro M. Leunda,5,6 Lorenzo Vilizzi,7 and Gordon H. Copp1,2,6,8,∗ Risk assessments are crucial for identifying and mitigating impacts from biological invasions. The Fish Invasiveness Scoring Kit (FISK) is a risk identification (screening) tool for fresh- water fishes consisting of two subject areas: biogeography/history and biology/ecology. Ac- cording to the outcomes, species can be classified under particular risk categories. The aim of this study was to apply FISK to the Iberian Peninsula, a Mediterranean climate region highly important for freshwater fish conservation due to a high level of endemism. In total, 89 fish species were assessed by three independent assessors. Results from receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that FISK can discriminate reliably between noninvasive and invasive fishes for Iberia, with a threshold of 20.25, similar to those obtained in several regions around the world. Based on mean scores, no species was categorized as “low risk,” 50 species as “medium risk,” 17 as “moderately high risk,” 11 as “high risk,” and 11 as “very high risk.” The highest scoring species was goldfish Carassius auratus. Mean certainty in response was above the category “mostly certain,” ranging from tinfoil barb Barbonymus schwanenfeldii with the lowest certainty to eastern mosquitofish Gambusia holbrooki with the highest level. Pair-wise comparison showed significant differences between one assessor and the other two on mean certainty, with these two assessors showing a high coincidence rate for the species categorization.

  • Marine Fishes of the Azores: an Annotated Checklist and Bibliography
    MARINE FISHES OF THE AZORES: AN ANNOTATED CHECKLIST AND BIBLIOGRAPHY. RICARDO SERRÃO SANTOS, FILIPE MORA PORTEIRO & JOÃO PEDRO BARREIROS SANTOS, RICARDO SERRÃO, FILIPE MORA PORTEIRO & JOÃO PEDRO BARREIROS 1997. Marine fishes of the Azores: An annotated checklist and bibliography. Arquipélago. Life and Marine Sciences Supplement 1: xxiii + 242pp. Ponta Delgada. ISSN 0873-4704. ISBN 972-9340-92-7. A list of the marine fishes of the Azores is presented. The list is based on a review of the literature combined with an examination of selected specimens available from collections of Azorean fishes deposited in museums, including the collection of fish at the Department of Oceanography and Fisheries of the University of the Azores (Horta). Personal information collected over several years is also incorporated. The geographic area considered is the Economic Exclusive Zone of the Azores. The list is organised in Classes, Orders and Families according to Nelson (1994). The scientific names are, for the most part, those used in Fishes of the North-eastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean (FNAM) (Whitehead et al. 1989), and they are organised in alphabetical order within the families. Clofnam numbers (see Hureau & Monod 1979) are included for reference. Information is given if the species is not cited for the Azores in FNAM. Whenever available, vernacular names are presented, both in Portuguese (Azorean names) and in English. Synonyms, misspellings and misidentifications found in the literature in reference to the occurrence of species in the Azores are also quoted. The 460 species listed, belong to 142 families; 12 species are cited for the first time for the Azores.

  • Rutilus Rutilus Linnaeus, 1758. Rutilo EXÓTICA
    Atlas y Libro Rojo de los Peces Continentales de España ESPECIE Rutilus rutilus Linnaeus, 1758. Rutilo EXÓTICA ºo'" o< Q DESCRIPCIÓN Es una especie de talla media que no suele sobrepasar los 40 cm de longitud total aunque se co­ nocen individuos que han alcanzado los 50 cm de longitud y cerca de los 2 kg de peso. Su cuerpo es alto y comprimido lateralmente, con una cabeza pequeña que representa el 25% de la longitud del cuerpo. La aleta dorsal presenta de 9-11 radios blandos y es alta y de perfil cóncavo. La aleta anal es larga con 9-11 radios blandos. Las escamas son grandes y su número en la línea lateral es de 40-45. Sin dientes mandibulares o maxilares los dientes faríngeos se disponen en una fila en nú­ mero de 5-5. El número de cromosomas es 2n=50, en algunas poblaciónes es 2n=52.

  • Analysis of Retained and Bycatch Fish in New Zealand Orange Roughy Fisheries. Report Prepared
    Analysis of retained and bycatch fish in New Zealand orange roughy fisheries Ministry for Primary Industries, 2015 Fish bycatch in each of the three fisheries under assessment for MSC certification was analysed to determine catch volume and identify any species that met the MSC criteria as ‘main species’ for the purposes of this assessment. The fisheries used to define catches match the agreed Unit of Certification - all fishing effort reported as targeting orange roughy (ORH), oreo (OEO), black oreo (BOE), and smooth oreo (SSO) within the designated area (See Figure 1 for fishery area). Figure 1: Orange roughy fishery areas for MSC Certification Catch levels were considered in light of the MSC criteria for ‘main’ retained and bycatch species of: Any species which makes up more than 5% of the total catch Any ‘vulnerable’ species (defined as any elasmobranch) that makes up more than 1% of the total catch Method These analyses used the observed catch in each fishery over the most recent four or five years, depending on the data available. Once the observed catch of each species was quantified it was then scaled up based on the proportion of total effort observed in each year. Total effort (observed and unobserved) was determined from reported target tows in the relevant areas from commercially reported data on statutory reporting forms (Trawl catch effort processing returns (TCEPR) and trawl catch effort returns (TCER). The scaled up total annual catch was used to calculate the proportion of the total catch made up by each species, and an average annual catch was calculated.
