Printed on acid-free paper Imprimé sur papier non acide Ce volume des Résultats des Campagnes MUSORSTOM trai­ tant des poissons de profondeur de Nouvelle-Calédonie est dédié à Pierre FOURMANOIR, océanographe biologiste de l'ORSTOM de 1950 à 1984. Il a effectué toute sa carrière dans la région indo­ pacifique (Madagascar, Ile de la Réunion, Comores, Vietnam, Philippines, Nouvelle-Calédonie, Vanuatu). Durant son séjour malgache, Pierre FOURMANOIR a étudié les poissons d'intérêt économique et dressé un inventaire ichtyologi­ que des Comores. A cette époque, le premier coelacanthe venait d'être découvert. Il participa alors aux recherches du second spé­ cimen et partagea la déception française... Mais le professeur J L. B. SMITH (descripteur du premier coelacanthe) lui conserva toute· son amitiépuisqu'ille considérait comme son «fils ichtyologique» (dixit Margaret M. SMITH). En Nouvelle-Calédonie où il séjourna plus de 13 ans, Pierre FOURMANOIR s'est intéressé naturellement aux poissons coralliens. L'ensemble de ses travaux sur l'ichtyofaune corallienne constitue un apport important à l'ichtyologie du Pacifique Sud. C'est à son initiative que des pêches expérimentales profondes ont été effec­ tuées, notamment sur les pentes externes récifales de Nouvelle­ Calédonie, des Iles Loyauté et du Vanuatu. En effet, il a toujours eu le souci, dans ses travaux de faunistique, de rechercher de nouvelles espèces économiques. Résultats des Campagnes MUSORSTOM Volumes déjà parus: Volume 1: Mém.

Taiwan is situated along the edge of the Eurasia plate, at the junction of three Large Marine Ecosystems or Ecoregions of the East China Sea, South China Sea and the Philippines. As nearly two-thirds of its surrounding marine ecosystems are deep-sea environments, Taiwan is expected to hold a rich diversity of deep-sea fish.

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).

  • Teleostei: Actinopterygii
    JapaneseJapaneseSociety Society ofSystematicof Systematic Zoology SpeciesDiversity,2008, 13, 1･ 34 Phylogenetic Systematics of the Family Peristediidae (Teleostei: Actinopterygii) Toshio Kawai Ciollection Center, IVUtional Mttseum ofAJUture and Science, 3-23-1 Flyakunin-cho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, 169-OOrs Jtrpan E-mail: kawai@,kahaku..uo.jp (Received 3 November 2006; Accepted 10 January 2008) The family Peristediidae, comprising about 36 species of armered sea robins in five genera, inhabit the bottoms of the tropical and temperate wa- ters of the world oeeans in depths of about 50 to 800m. The aim of this studs, is to infer Telationships among the species in the family based on morpho- logical characters and to revise the genus-level classification en the basis of the inferred pattern of phylogeny. Twenty-four peristediid and 16 outgroup taxa, i.e., 13 triglid and three hoplichthyid species, were used for the phylo- genetic analysis. Monophyly, of the Peristediidae is highly corroborated and two major clades are recognized in the family. The first clade ineludes Gar- gariscus, Heminodus, Satyrichtbys, and Paraheminodus, and the second in- cludes only Peristedion. It beeame clear that the genus SatyrichthJ)s is a non- monophyletic group, In conclusion, six monophyletic genera are recogriized in the Peristediidae: Oargariscus, Hentinodus, Paraheminodus, Peristedion, Satyrichtltys, and Scalicus, Accordingly, I propose seven new combinations with Scalicus as follows: Scaticus engyceros, S. gilberti, S. hians, S. investiga- toris, S. orientalis, S, quadratorostratus, and S. serrutatus, Key Words: Teleostei, Scorpaeniformes, Peristediidae, phylogenetic sys- tematics. Introduction Armored sea robins, the family Peristediidae (sensu Nelson 2006), comprise about 36 benthic species that are currently classMed tn four or five genera (Miller 1974; Kawai et al, 2004a, 2004b; Nelson 2006).
