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. -

Inferred from Mitochondrial 16S Rdna Sequence and Morphological Data
J. Black Sea/Mediterranean Environment Vol. 17(1): 14-31 (2011) The systematic status of the Mediterranean Spicara species (Centracanthidae) inferred from mitochondrial 16S rDNA sequence and morphological data Cemal Turan* Fisheries Genetics Laboratory, Faculty of Fisheries, Mustafa Kemal University, Iskenderun, Hatay, Turkey. * Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The mitochondrial 16S ribosomal DNA together with morphological data were used to elucidate monophyly of the family Centracanthidae and interrelationships of Spicara and Centracanthus genera, including four species, Spicara maena, Spicara flexuosa, Spicara smaris and Centracanthus cirrus. Examination of the gene revealed a moderate amount of thymine and abundance of adenine. The 16S rDNA dataset contained 92 variable and 69 parsimony informative sites with a mean nucleotide diversity of 0.099. Haplotype diversity was found to be 0.71. No genetic differences were observed between S. maena and S. smaris, and the genetic divergence between S. flexuosa and both S. maena and S. smaris was found to be 0.005. The intergeneric divergence was found to be very high (0.237) between S. alta and C. cirrus. For the other Spicara species, intergeneric divergence ranged from 0.170 between C. cirrus and both S. maena and S. smaris to 0.176 between C. cirrus and S. flexuosa. Minumum evolution, neighbor joining and parsimony trees revealed same tree topologies, and the monophyly of the genus Spicara was not supported. S. maena and S. smaris clustered together and showed close relationship and S. flexuosa was nodded with this group. Therefore S. maena was found to be more closely related to S. smaris rather than S. -

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. -

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. -

SUMMARY: The sagittal otolith of 348 species, belonging to 99 families and 22 orders of marine Teleostean fishes from the north and central eastern Atlantic and western Mediterranean were described using morphological and morphometric characters. The morphological descriptions were based on the otolith shape, outline and sulcus acusticus features. The mor- phometric parameters determined were otolith length (OL, mm), height (OH, mm), perimeter (P; mm) and area (A; mm2) and were expressed in terms of shape indices as circularity (P2/A), rectangularity (A/(OL×OH)), aspect ratio (OH/OL; %) and OL/fish size. The present Atlas provides information that complements the characterization of some ichthyologic taxa. In addition, it constitutes an important instrument for species identification using sagittal otoliths collected in fossiliferous layers, in archaeological sites or in feeding remains of bony fish predators. Keywords: otolith, sagitta, morphology, morphometry, western Mediterranean, north eastern Atlantic, central eastern Atlantic.

New Records of Fishes from the Hawaiian Islands!
Pacific Science (1980), vol. 34, no. 3 © 1981 by The University Press of Hawaii. All rights reserved New Records of Fishes from the Hawaiian Islands! JOHN E. RANDALL 2 ABSTRACT: The following fishes represent new records for the Hawaiian Islands: the moray eel Lycodontis javanicus (Bleeker), the frogfish Antennarius nummifer (Cuvier), the jack Carangoides ferdau (Forssk::U), the grouper Cromileptes altivelis (Cuvier) (probably an aquarium release), the chubs Kyphosus cinerascens (Forsskal) and K. vaigiensis (Quoy and Gaimard), the armorhead Pentaceros richardsoni Smith, the goatfish Upeneus vittatus (Forsskal) (a probable unintentional introduction by the Division of Fish and Game, State of Hawaii), the wrasse Halichoeres marginatus Ruppell,' the gobies Nemateleotris magnifica Fowler and Discordipinna griessingeri Hoese and Fourmanoir, the angelfish Centropyge multicolor Randall and Wass, the surgeonfish Acanthurus lineatus (Linnaeus), the oceanic cutlassfish Assurger anzac (Alexander), and the driftfish Hyperoglyphe japonica (Doderlein). In addition, the snapper Pristipomoides auricilla (Jordan, Evermann, and Tanaka) and the wrasse Thalassoma quinquevittatum (Lay and Bennett), both overlooked in recent compilations, are shown to be valid species for the Hawaiian region. Following Parin (1967), the needlefish Tylosurus appendicu latus (Klunzinger), which has a ventral bladelike bony projection from the end of the lower jaw, is regarded as a morphological variant of T. acus (Lacepede). IN 1960, W. A. Gosline and V. E.

Molecular Phylogeny and the Evolution of an Adaptive Visual System in Deep-Sea Dragonfishes (Stomiiformes: Stomiidae)
ORIGINAL ARTICLE doi:10.1111/evo.12322 THE COMPLEX EVOLUTIONARY HISTORY OF SEEING RED: MOLECULAR PHYLOGENY AND THE EVOLUTION OF AN ADAPTIVE VISUAL SYSTEM IN DEEP-SEA DRAGONFISHES (STOMIIFORMES: STOMIIDAE) Christopher P. Kenaley,1,2 Shannon C. DeVaney,3 and Taylor T. Fjeran4 1Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138 2E-mail: [email protected] 3Life Science Department, Los Angeles Pierce College, Woodland Hills, California 91371 4College of Forestry, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon 97331 Received December 12, 2012 Accepted November 12, 2013 The vast majority of deep-sea fishes have retinas composed of only rod cells sensitive to only shortwave blue light, approximately 480–490 nm. A group of deep-sea dragonfishes, the loosejaws (family Stomiidae), possesses far-red emitting photophores and rhodopsins sensitive to long-wave emissions greater than 650 nm. In this study, the rhodopsin diversity within the Stomiidae is surveyed based on an analysis of rod opsin-coding sequences from representatives of 23 of the 28 genera. Using phylogenetic inference, fossil-calibrated estimates of divergence times, and a comparative approach scanning the stomiid phylogeny for shared genotypes and substitution histories, we explore the evolution and timing of spectral tuning in the family. Our results challenge both the monophyly of the family Stomiidae and the loosejaws. Despite paraphyly of the loosejaws, we infer for the first time that far-red visual systems have a single evolutionary origin within the family and that this shift in phenotype occurred at approximately 15.4 Ma. In addition, we found strong evidence that at approximately 11.2 Ma the most recent common ancestor of two dragonfish genera reverted to a primitive shortwave visual system during its evolution from a far-red sensitive dragonfish. -
