  • Morphology and Histology of the Testicles
    MORPHOLOGY AND HISTOLOGY OF THE TESTICLES OF QUEEN ANGELFISH Holacanthus ciliaris Arquivos de Ciências do Mar (LINNAEUS, 1758) (TELEOSTEI: PERCIFORMES: POMACANTHIDAE) Morfologia e histologia dos testículos do peixe-anjo Holacanthus ciliaris (Linnaeus, 1758) (Teleostei: Perciformes: Pomacanthidae) Mara C. Nottingham1 , José Roberto Feitosa Silva2 , Maria Elisabeth de Araújo1, 3 ABSTRACT Aspects of the morphology and histology of the testicles of Holacanthus ciliaris were studied in this research. Monthly collections of living fish, totaling 39 males, were carried out between December, 2000 and November, 2001 on the coast of Ceará State, Brazil. The total length of the fish varied between 63.4 mm and 334 mm, the standard length between 50.9 mm and 270 mm, and the total weight between 6,70 g and 590 g. The testicles were bilobed and ribbon-like in shape, with firm texture and coloration varying between transparent and amber. In the histological study, male gametes were found in all espermatogenesis stages along the months of the year. Key words: Holacanthus ciliaris, Pomacanthidae, reef fish, reproduction. RESUMO Aspectos da morfologia e histologia de testículos de Holacanthus ciliaris foram estudados nesta pesquisa. Coletas mensais de peixes vivos, totalizando 39 machos, foram realizadas entre os meses de dezembro de 2000 e novembro de 2001 na costa do Estado do Ceará. O comprimento total dos peixes variou entre 63,4 e 334mm, o comprimento padrão entre 50,9 e 270mm e o peso total entre 6,70 e 590g. Os testículos apresentavam-se bilobulados, em forma de fita, com textura firme e coloração variando entre transparente e âmbar. No estudo histológico foram encontrados gametas masculinos em todos os estágios da espermatogênese durante os meses do ano.

Davie Queensland Museum, PO Box 3300, South Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT. – An annotated checklist of the extant brachyuran crabs of the world is presented for the first time. Over 10,500 names are treated including 6,793 valid species and subspecies (with 1,907 primary synonyms), 1,271 genera and subgenera (with 393 primary synonyms), 93 families and 38 superfamilies. Nomenclatural and taxonomic problems are reviewed in detail, and many resolved. Detailed notes and references are provided where necessary. The constitution of a large number of families and superfamilies is discussed in detail, with the positions of some taxa rearranged in an attempt to form a stable base for future taxonomic studies. This is the first time the nomenclature of any large group of decapod crustaceans has been examined in such detail.

  • A New Species of Cretaceous Acanthomorph from Canada 15 February 2016, by Sarah Gibson
    A new species of Cretaceous acanthomorph from Canada 15 February 2016, by Sarah Gibson to sit flush along the body, helping the fish swim faster by reducing drag, or they can be extended completely out to act as a defense mechanism, in case you are a predator looking for a quick bite. Near the base of the Acanthomorpha phylogenetic tree is a small group of fishes, Polymixiiformes, comprised of a single living genus, Polymixia, more commonly known as the beardfish. This innocuous fish seems harmless, but according to many ichthyologists, Polymixia is just one key to understanding acanthomorph relationships. Unraveling the evolutionary relationships is difficult with a single living genus, but thankfully, polymixiiforms have a fossil record dating back to the Cretaceous, containing an increasing number of taxa as new discoveries are being made, particularly in deposits in North America, where fewer acanthomorph fossils are known compared to Figuring out fish relationships is no small feat. Credit: the more-studied Eastern Tethys Ocean deposits in Near et al. 2013 Europe. For being one of the largest groups of vertebrates, and having one of the richer fossil records among organisms, the relationships of fishes are still hotly debated. Humongous datasets are being compiled that involve molecular (both nuclear and mitochondrial) data, compared and contrasted with thorough morphological analyses. (I'm not going to get into all of it here, simply because of its sheer complexity.) What I am going to get into, however, is the fossil record of one subset of fishes, the acanthomorphs. The stout beardfish, Polymixia nobilis. Credit: Wikipedia Acanthomorphs are teleost fishes that possess true fin spines: a set of prominent, sharp, unsegmented spines in the front portion of their dorsal and/or anal fins, followed by a portion of One such new species was recently described by pliable, segmented, "softer" looking rays.

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.

  • Mullidae 3175
    click for previous page Perciformes: Percoidei: Mullidae 3175 MULLIDAE Goatfishes (surmullets) by J.E. Randall iagnostic characters: Body moderately elongate and somewhat compressed (size to 50 cm). Two Dlong unbranched barbels on chin; mouth low on head, the lower jaw inferior, the cleft slightly oblique; dentition variable but teeth conical, either in villiform bands or in 1 or 2 rows, never as enlarged canines (except in adult males of western Atlantic and eastern Pacific species of Pseudupeneus, the teeth of which are slightly enlarged). A single flat spine posteriorly on opercle (a second less developed spine may be present); margin of preopercle smooth. Two well-separated dorsal fins, the first with VII or VIII (usually VIII) slender spines (first spine often very small), the second fin with 9 soft rays (first unbranched); anal fin with I spine and 6 or 7 soft rays; caudal fin deeply forked, with 13 branched rays; pelvic fins with I spine and 5 soft rays; pectoral fins with 13 to 18 rays. Scales finely ctenoid; head and body completely scaly (except preorbital region of some species of Upeneus). Lateral line complete, following contour of back, the pored scales to base of caudal fin 27 to 38. Colour: ground colour in preservative usually pale, in life often whitish to light red; most species with distinctive black, brown, red, or yellow markings; median fins often with stripes or oblique bands. 2 dorsal fins, 1st with VII-VIII spines, 2nd with 9 soft rays 2 barbels on chin Habitat, biology, and fisheries: Most goatfishes inhabit shallow seas. They are usually found on open sand or mud bottoms, at least for feeding (though the species of Parupeneus and Mulloidichthys are often seen on coral reefs or rocky substrata).

  • Ahead of Print Online Version New Genus of Opecoelid Trematode From
    Ahead of print online version FoliA PArAsitologicA 61 [3]: 223–230, 2014 © institute of Parasitology, Biology centre Ascr issN 0015-5683 (print), issN 1803-6465 (online) http://folia.paru.cas.cz/ doi: 10.14411/fp.2014.033 New genus of opecoelid trematode from Pristipomoides aquilonaris (Perciformes: Lutjanidae) and its phylogenetic affinity within the family Opecoelidae Michael J. Andres, Eric E. Pulis and Robin M. Overstreet Department of coastal sciences, University of southern Mississippi, ocean springs, Mississippi, UsA Abstract: Bentholebouria colubrosa gen. n. et sp. n. (Digenea: opecoelidae) is described in the wenchman, Pristipomoides aq- uilonaris (goode et Bean), from the eastern gulf of Mexico, and new combinations are proposed: Bentholebouria blatta (Bray et Justine, 2009) comb. n., Bentholebouria longisaccula (Yamaguti, 1970) comb. n., Bentholebouria rooseveltiae (Yamaguti, 1970) comb. n., and Bentholebouria ulaula (Yamaguti, 1970) comb. n. the new genus is morphologically similar to Neolebouria gibson, 1976, but with a longer cirrus sac, entire testes, a rounded posterior margin with a cleft, and an apparent restriction to the deepwater snappers. Morphologically, the new species is closest to B. blatta from Pristipomoides argyrogrammicus (Valenciennes) off New caledonia but can be differentiated by the nature of the internal seminal vesicle (2–6 turns or loops rather than constrictions), a longer internal seminal vesicle (occupying about 65% rather than 50% of the cirrus sac), a cirrus sac that extends further into the hindbody (averaging 136% rather than 103% of the distance from the posterior margin of the ventral sucker to the ovary), and a narrower body (27% rather than 35% mean width as % of body length).
