  • Macruronus Novaezelandiae ) Diet Variability and Associated Middle-Depth Demersal Fish Species Depth Distribution in the Ecosystem on the Chatham Rise, New Zealand
    Hoki ( Macruronus novaezelandiae ) diet variability and associated middle-depth demersal fish species depth distribution in the ecosystem on the Chatham Rise, New Zealand. Amelia MacLeod Connell A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Science in Marine Biology. Victoria University of Wellington 2009 ABSTRACT Fisheries management in New Zealand is mostly on a single species basis. Globally there is a shift towards multispecies or ecosystem based fisheries management. For this to happen an understanding of how the ecosystem is organised and functions is needed. Trophic food web and diet studies have been used effectively to begin to understand the functioning of marine ecosystems. Who eats whom, however, is not the full extent of ecosystem function. Understanding of species distribution patterns, of both predators and prey species are also needed to begin to understand the full function of the marine ecosystem. The first part of this study investigated the diet of hoki ( Macruronus novaezelandiae ) over the Chatham Rise, New Zealand, between 200-800m. It characterised the diet of hoki as well as investigated potential sources of diet variability. Hoki diet was found to consist largely of mesopelagic teleosts, mainly of the family Myctophidae, natant decapods and euphausids, suggesting a pelagic feeding strategy, as other studies have also found. Differences were found in diet composition between this study and other studies on hoki diet, potentially suggesting differences in prey distribution between study areas. Differences in diet were found between fish from different depths and different sized fish from the same depth.

    Pacific Plate Biogeography, with Special Reference to Shorefishes VICTOR G. SPRINGER m SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 367 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoo/ogy Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world cf science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

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.

  • Percomorph Phylogeny: a Survey of Acanthomorphs and a New Proposal
    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 52(1): 554-626, 1993 PERCOMORPH PHYLOGENY: A SURVEY OF ACANTHOMORPHS AND A NEW PROPOSAL G. David Johnson and Colin Patterson ABSTRACT The interrelationships of acanthomorph fishes are reviewed. We recognize seven mono- phyletic terminal taxa among acanthomorphs: Lampridiformes, Polymixiiformes, Paracan- thopterygii, Stephanoberyciformes, Beryciformes, Zeiformes, and a new taxon named Smeg- mamorpha. The Percomorpha, as currently constituted, are polyphyletic, and the Perciformes are probably paraphyletic. The smegmamorphs comprise five subgroups: Synbranchiformes (Synbranchoidei and Mastacembeloidei), Mugilomorpha (Mugiloidei), Elassomatidae (Elas- soma), Gasterosteiformes, and Atherinomorpha. Monophyly of Lampridiformes is justified elsewhere; we have found no new characters to substantiate the monophyly of Polymixi- iformes (which is not in doubt) or Paracanthopterygii. Stephanoberyciformes uniquely share a modification of the extrascapular, and Beryciformes a modification of the anterior part of the supraorbital and infraorbital sensory canals, here named Jakubowski's organ. Our Zei- formes excludes the Caproidae, and characters are proposed to justify the monophyly of the group in that restricted sense. The Smegmamorpha are thought to be monophyletic principally because of the configuration of the first vertebra and its intermuscular bone. Within the Smegmamorpha, the Atherinomorpha and Mugilomorpha are shown to be monophyletic elsewhere. Our Gasterosteiformes includes the syngnathoids and the Pegasiformes

Abstract A checklist of shallow (to 60 m depth) reef fishes is provided for the Bird’s Head Peninsula region of West Papua, Indonesia. The area, which occupies the extreme western end of New Guinea, contains the world’s most diverse assemblage of coral reef fishes. The current checklist, which includes both historical records and recent survey results, includes 1,511 species in 451 genera and 111 families. Respective species totals for the three main coral reef areas – Raja Ampat Islands, Fakfak-Kaimana coast, and Cenderawasih Bay – are 1320, 995, and 877. In addition to its extraordinary species diversity, the region exhibits a remarkable level of endemism considering its relatively small area. A total of 26 species in 14 families are currently considered to be confined to the region. Introduction and finally a complex geologic past highlighted The region consisting of eastern Indonesia, East by shifting island arcs, oceanic plate collisions, Timor, Sabah, Philippines, Papua New Guinea, and widely fluctuating sea levels (Polhemus and the Solomon Islands is the global centre of 2007). reef fish diversity (Allen 2008). Approximately 2,460 species or 60 percent of the entire reef fish The Bird’s Head Peninsula and surrounding fauna of the Indo-West Pacific inhabits this waters has attracted the attention of naturalists and region, which is commonly referred to as the scientists ever since it was first visited by Coral Triangle (CT).

  • Seamounts, Hotspots for High Speciation Rates in Bentho-Pelagic Fishes? a Case Study on Macroramphosus Spp

Seamounts, hotspots for high speciation rates in bentho-pelagic fishes? A case study on Macroramphosus spp. (Syngnathidae) from Great Meteor Seamount BIRTE MATTHIESSEN, HEINO O. FOCK, HEIN VON WESTERNHAGEN Alfred-Wegener-Institut für Polar- und Meeresforschung, Am Handelshafen 12, D-27570 Bremerhaven, Germany, Phone: 49-0471-4831 1384, [email protected] Snipefishes of the genus Macroramphosus (Syngnathidae) are the most abundant demersal fish species on the Great Meteor Seamount (GMR, subtropical NE Atlantic, 30° N, 28,5° W). High morphological variability within the genus at GMR questions the presence of only one species of Macroramphosus. Thus, 202 individuals of Macroramphosus spp. were investigated with respect to diet composition and morphology. A deep-bodied benthos feeding type (b-types) whose diet consisted of foraminiferans, pteropods, decapods and polychaetes, could be distinguished from a slender planktivorous type (p-types, n=140) mainly feeding on ostracods, copepods, pteropods and foraminiferans. Few specimens showed no specialized feeding mode (p/b-types). Both feeding types showed significantly morphologically differences after applying bi- and multivariate statistical analysis considering the variables body depth, length of second dorsal spine, diameter of orbit and standard length. Based on a randomisation test, the analysis of dietary overlaps revealed significant differences between feeding types. This result reinforces the hypothesis of two competing species of snipefishes at GMR. Notwithstanding similar observations on snipefishes from shelf habitats from the Pacific, our results suggest that isolated seamounts may represent hotspots of speciation where special selection pressure favours the evolution of two ecological divergent species within the genus Macroramphosus.
