0421 Lista De Peces Cordados - Filo CHORDATA, sub-filos CEPHALOCHORDATA (ACRANIA) y VERTEBRATA (CRANIATA) Lista de especies registradas en Cuba (diciembre de 2006) Rodolfo Claro Instituto de Oceanología, CITMA Ave.1ra, No.18406 e/184 y 186. Rpto. Flores. Playa. La Habana,. C.P. 12100, Cuba. [email protected]; [email protected] 'Se relacionan en esta lista las especies de peces registradas para Cuba, según la revisión de Claro y Parenti (2001), aunque actualizada según la nomenclatura recientemente revisada por Nelson et al. (2005) para los taxones superiores. Se han añadido nombres comunes en español a muchas especies que en la primera versión no los tenían (indicados por el símbolo ^), en algunos casos en correspondencia con los propuestos por dichos autores, aunque preferentemente se han utilizado nombres acordes con las denominaciones dadas para la familia o el género en Cuba. Los nombres comunes en inglés fueron tomados de Robins y Ray (1986); Nelson et al. (2005), FAO, 2002 y Fishbase (2007). Para la identificación del hábitat se han utilizado diversas fuentes bibliográficas (Robins y Ray, 1986; Cervigón, 1993-1997; Cervigón et al., 1993; FAO, 2002; Fish Base, 1997 y otras ) y las informaciones propias del autor. La localización de las especies por zonas y su abundancia relativa, son preliminares, ya que aún no se ha logrado una revisión detallada de todos los registros, y muchas de las publicaciones no ofrecen datos al respecto. Se utilizaron las localidades y datos de los ejemplares depositados en las colecciones del Instituto de Oceanología y de varias instituciones de EUA donde se encuentran depositados muchas de las especies colectadas en Cuba, así como otras fuentes Zonas biogeográficas: (1) Zona suroriental – Costa sur de Oriente, (2) Zona surcentral - Archipiélago Jardines de la Reina, (3) Zona sur central - Costa al sur del Macizo de Guamuhaya, (4) Zona suroccidental - Golfo de Batabanó y Archipiélago de los, (5) Canarreos, (6) Zona suroccidental - Península de Guanahacabibes, (7) Zona noroccidental -

The ECNASAP Pilot Project consists of inshore and offshore case studies, and is a cooperative effort among several U.S. and Canadian agencies. Digital map and data products are being developed in the Offshore Case Study for groundfish, seabirds, temperature, salinity, and sediments. This report summarizes the initial results for the groundfish component. About Partitioning the Total Mortality of Atlantic Cod Stocks Project In 1995, Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) initiated a series of research projects to address high priority issues for the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. The Cod Mortality Project is a component of this effort; its objective is to assess the main causes for the decline of cod resources since the mid-1980s. A subproject is to examine long-term changes in groundfish assemblages on a biogeographic scale, and to determine whether or not these changes coincided with changes in ocean climate.

  • Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean Volume
    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.

Del mismo modo, es difícil entender los agradecimientos de una tesis hasta que pones el punto y final. Es en este momento cuando se puede percibir la gratitud que sientes a todas las personas que han estado presentes durante esa etapa, ya bien sea codo a codo o simplemente trayéndote un café calentito en el momento preciso. Pero también es cierto que, entre toda esa gente que ha estado ahí, hay pocas caras que se dibujan clara e intensamente en mi cabeza. En primerísimo lugar, me gustaría dar las gracias de una manera muy especial a Montse por muchos, muchísimos motivos: por darme cariño y amistad desde el día en que nos conocimos; porque a lo largo de esta década hemos compartido muchísimos momentos alegres, acompañados de risas y carcajadas, pero también los más tristes de mi vida, inundados de lágrimas y angustia; por estar ahí para lo que sea, para todo, y tener siempre tendida su mano amiga; por escucharme una y otra vez, sin cansarse, y aconsejarme sabiamente; por confiar en mí y guiarme, no solo durante el desarrollo de esta tesis, sino también en mi formación y día a día; por su eterna paciencia;… y, sobre todo, por poner en mi vida al “morenocho”, ese pequeño loquito tímido que me comería a besos.

  • Diet of the White Marlin (Tetrapturus Albidus) from the Southwestern Equatorial Atlantic Ocean
    SCRS/2009/173 Collect. Vol. Sci. Pap. ICCAT, 65(5): 1843-1850 (2010) DIET OF THE WHITE MARLIN (TETRAPTURUS ALBIDUS) FROM THE SOUTHWESTERN EQUATORIAL ATLANTIC OCEAN P.B. Pinheiro1, T. Vaske Júnior2, F.H.V. Hazin2, P. Travassos3, M.T. Tolotti3 and T.M. Barbosa2 SUMMARY The aim of this study was to evaluate the diet of white marlin, regarding the number, weight, and frequency of occurrence of the prey items, prey-predator relationships, and feeding strategies in the southwestern equatorial Atlantic Ocean. A total of 257 white marlins were examined, of which 60 (23.3%) were male and 197 (76.7%) were female. Males ranged from 105 to 220 cm low jaw fork length (LJFL) and females ranged from 110 to 236 cm LJFL. Most prey (fish and cephalopods) ranged between 1.0 and 65.0 cm in body length, with a mean length around 10.1 cm. According to the IRI (Index of Relative Importance) ranking, the flying gurnard, Dactylopterus volitans, was the most important prey item, with 27.9% of occurrence, followed by the squid, Ornithoteuthis antillarum (Atlantic bird squid), with 21.2% occurrence. RÉSUMÉ Cette étude vise à évaluer le régime alimentaire des makaires blancs en ce qui concerne le nombre, poids et fréquence de présence des proies, la relation proie-prédateur et les stratégies trophiques dans l’Océan Atlantique équatorial sud-occidental. Un total de 257 makaires blancs ont été examinés, dont 60 (23,3%) étaient des mâles et 197 (76,7%) des femelles. La taille des mâles oscillait entre 105 et 220 cm (longueur maxillaire inférieur-fourche, LJFL) et celle des femelles entre 110 et 236 cm (LJFL).

  • DIET of the OILFISH Ruvettus Pretiosus (PERCIFORMES: GEMPYLIDAE) in the SAINT PETER and SAINT PAUL ARCHIPELAGO, BRAZIL
    BRAZILIAN JOURNAL OF OCEANOGRAPHY, 60(2):181-188, 2012 DIET OF THE OILFISH Ruvettus pretiosus (PERCIFORMES: GEMPYLIDAE) IN THE SAINT PETER AND SAINT PAUL ARCHIPELAGO, BRAZIL Danielle de Lima Viana*, Mariana Travassos Tolotti, Mariana Porto, Rodolfo Jorge Vale de Araújo, Teodoro Vaske Júnior and Fabio Hissa Vieira Hazin Universidade Federal de Pernambuco - Departamento de Pesca (Av. Dom Manuel de Medeiros, S/N, 52171-030 Jaboatão dos Guararapes, PE, Brasil) *Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT Feeding aspects of the oilfish , Ruvettus pretiosus , were studied based on 360 stomachs of both male and female specimens caught off the Saint Peter and Saint Paul Archipelago. The total length of the specimens ranged from 52.4 cm to 189.0 cm. Of the 360 stomachs examined, 135 presented some food and 225 were empty. Thirty-four taxa were identified, represented by 16 fish, 17 cephalopods and 1 crustacean. The stabilization of the food items richness was attained at 35 food items and 104 stomachs, approximately. A remarkable predation upon the flying fish Cheilopogon cyanopterus was observed around SPSPA, directly related to the main reproductive period of this species in the area. The oilfish’s food spectrum shows that the species feeds on a wide vertical range in the water column, catching prey items at the surface or in shallow waters, as well as epi-mesopelagic fish, in addition to mesopelagic cephalopods. RESUMO Aspectos alimentares do peixe-prego, Ruvettus pretiosus , foram estudados com base nos estômagos de 360 espécimes, de ambos os sexos, capturados nos arredores do Arquipélago de São Pedro e São Paulo.

The series is also available on CD-Rom. CCC fish and coral species lists 1. INTRODUCTION Between 1986 and 1998, Coral Cay Conservation (CCC) provided data and technical assistance to the Belize Department of Fisheries, Coastal Zone Management Unit and Coastal Zone Management Project under the remit of a Memorandum of Understanding. This work has provided data for seven proposed or established marine protected areas at South Water Cay, Bacalar Chico, Sapodilla Cays, Snake Cays, Laughing Bird Cay, Caye Caulker and Turneffe Atoll (Figure 1). These projects have generally provided habitat maps, the associated databases and management recommendations to assist reserve planning. In addition to the data collection, training, capacity building and environmental education undertaken by CCC, the expeditions have also provided opportunities for compiling presence / absence species lists of fish and corals in the different project areas. This document contains the fish list compiled by CCC staff and experienced volunteers and a reprint of Fenner (1999) detailing coral taxonomy in Belize and Cozumel, the Belize component of which was compiled while the author was working as a member of CCC’s field science staff.
