The South China Sea is a major water body containing a large and diverse fish fauna. However, many areas of the South China Sea, particularly in Malaysia and Vietnam, have been poorly studied in terms of fish taxonomy and diversity. Local fish scientists and students have frequently faced difficulty when try- ing to identify fishes in their home countries.

Bridled burrfish, Chilomycterus antennatus [http://biogeodb.stri.si.edu/caribbean/en/pages/random/10321, downloaded 26 October 2016] TRAITS. A species of fish with small, black spots and a yellowish-brown body, head and base of tail. On the anterior base of the dorsal fin and in the middle of the back are two or more white-rimmed, large, black spots. The eyes are large with a gold iris surrounded by a ring of black dots, and above each eye is a large projection (Fig. 1). The body is round and has the ability to inflate or expand. There are no pelvic fins; large pectoral fins without spines; nine caudal fin rays; few motionless, short spines covering the body and head. The teeth are fused and the nasal organ is a hollow, short tentacle with two openings. Size usually 15-30cm, but males can grow up to 38cm. Young fish up to 3cm inhabit the water column (Smith, 1997). DISTRIBUTION. Range is the Gulf of Mexico from northwestern Cuba, Florida Keys, south from Cape Canaveral along the U.S. coast, the Bahamas, the Caribbean Sea with the exception of the Cayman Islands.

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.

  • Bioinvasions in the Mediterranean Sea 2 7
    Metamorphoses: Bioinvasions in the Mediterranean Sea 2 7 B. S. Galil and Menachem Goren Abstract Six hundred and eighty alien marine multicellular species have been recorded in the Mediterranean Sea, with many establishing viable populations and dispersing along its coastline. A brief history of bioinvasions research in the Mediterranean Sea is presented. Particular attention is paid to gelatinous invasive species: the temporal and spatial spread of four alien scyphozoans and two alien ctenophores is outlined. We highlight few of the dis- cernible, and sometimes dramatic, physical alterations to habitats associated with invasive aliens in the Mediterranean littoral, as well as food web interactions of alien and native fi sh. The propagule pressure driving the Erythraean invasion is powerful in the establishment and spread of alien species in the eastern and central Mediterranean. The implications of the enlargement of Suez Canal, refl ecting patterns in global trade and economy, are briefl y discussed. Keywords Alien • Vectors • Trends • Propagule pressure • Trophic levels • Jellyfi sh • Mediterranean Sea Brief History of Bioinvasion Research came suddenly with the much publicized plans of the in the Mediterranean Sea Saint- Simonians for a “Canal de jonction des deux mers” at the Isthmus of Suez.

E-mails: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract Four species of the genus Hatschekia Poche, 1902 (Copepoda: Siphonostomatoida; Hatschekiidae) are redescribed based on specimens collected from tetraodontiform fishes captured recently in Japanese waters: female H. iridescens Wilson, 1913 from Diodon liturosus Shaw (representing a new host record), D. hystrix L., and D. holocanthus L.; female Hatschekia legouli Nuñes-Ruivo, 1954 (representing a new parasite record for Japan) from Chilomycterus reticulatus L.; female H. ostracii Yamaguti, 1953 from Ostracion immaculatus Temminck & Schlegel and O. cubicus L.; and both sexes of H. monacanthi Yamaguti, 1939 from Thamnaconus modestus (Günther). Proportions of various parts of the female body and appendages are included as important characters to distinguish morphologically similar species. A key to the 20 species of Hatschekia reported from Japanese waters is also included. Key words: taxonomy, copepods, marine fish, Japanese waters Introduction The genus Hatschekia Poche, 1902 is one of the major copepod genera parasitic on marine teleosts.

    Stuttgarter Beiträge zur Naturkunde A, Neue Serie 2: 1–168; Stuttgart, 30.IV.2009. 1 Annotated checklist of the fish species (Pisces) of La Réunion, including a Red List of threatened and declining species RONALD FR ICKE , THIE rr Y MULOCHAU , PA tr ICK DU R VILLE , PASCALE CHABANE T , Emm ANUEL TESSIE R & YVES LE T OU R NEU R Abstract An annotated checklist of the fish species of La Réunion (southwestern Indian Ocean) comprises a total of 984 species in 164 families (including 16 species which are not native). 65 species (plus 16 introduced) occur in fresh- water, with the Gobiidae as the largest freshwater fish family. 165 species (plus 16 introduced) live in transitional waters. In marine habitats, 965 species (plus two introduced) are found, with the Labridae, Serranidae and Gobiidae being the largest families; 56.7 % of these species live in shallow coral reefs, 33.7 % inside the fringing reef, 28.0 % in shallow rocky reefs, 16.8 % on sand bottoms, 14.0 % in deep reefs, 11.9 % on the reef flat, and 11.1 % in estuaries. 63 species are first records for Réunion. Zoogeographically, 65 % of the fish fauna have a widespread Indo-Pacific distribution, while only 2.6 % are Mascarene endemics, and 0.7 % Réunion endemics. The classification of the following species is changed in the present paper: Anguilla labiata (Peters, 1852) [pre- viously A. bengalensis labiata]; Microphis millepunctatus (Kaup, 1856) [previously M. brachyurus millepunctatus]; Epinephelus oceanicus (Lacepède, 1802) [previously E. fasciatus (non Forsskål in Niebuhr, 1775)]; Ostorhinchus fasciatus (White, 1790) [previously Apogon fasciatus]; Mulloidichthys auriflamma (Forsskål in Niebuhr, 1775) [previously Mulloidichthys vanicolensis (non Valenciennes in Cuvier & Valenciennes, 1831)]; Stegastes luteobrun- neus (Smith, 1960) [previously S.
