SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS, CHAPTER 1V && 15,164 BIBLIOGRAPHY pilM I/ • PART ONE COMPARATIVE MORPHOLOGY OF THE BLOOD OF SOME MARINE AND FRESHWATER FISH OF INDOCHINA Bibliographical survey The microscopic study of both normal and pathological blood of fish has been done by numerous authors. In 1908, SABRAZtS and MURATET mention, among the works which,had appeared up to that time on the haematology of fish th6se of CUÉNOT (1889 and 1891), HIRSCH- FELD (1897), GIGLIOTOS (1896), GRUNBERG and RAWITZ (1900). They note that RAWITZ's research was concerned with Scyllium catulus (a squaloid selachian), a ganoid (Acipenser ruthoenus L.) and Teleostei (Scorpaena porcus L.; Serranus scriba L.; Sargus vulgaris Geof.; Crenilabrus pavo C.V.). They indicate that one of RAWITZ's important results was that the blood of various fish is far from homogeneous. Crenilabrus pavo, for example, has two kinds of red corpuscles without transitional phases; Scyllium catulus and Sargus vulgaris display erythrocytolytic patterns without the appear- ance of blood platelets; these patterns are not found in other species; leukocytes in various degenerative stages are found in the circulating blood of Scyllium and Crenilabrus. Scorpaena, Sargus and Crenilabrus variation in fine Li have large leukocytes which exhibit considerable structure; the leukocytes of Scyllium and Acipenser are characterized by polymorphous granulation. According to RAW.ITZ, eosinophils are totally absent in Teleostei. In 1894, SABRAZES reported the absence of eosinophils in the blood of the sea-horse as well. Mbreover, in his work co-authored with MURATET, SABRAZES stated that GRUNBERG described the following cell forms observed in the blood of Scyllium catulus from the Berlin Aquarium: large and small mono- nuclear leukocytes occur in various shapes, depending on the size ratio of the nucleus (always large) to the cell body; the nucleus consists of a sharply defined chromatic structure; its shape is usually regular without marked variations; the leukocytes are oval, round or fusiform. In some, the protoplasm is homogeneous and greyer than the nucleus; others have a reticulated protoplasm with colourless lacunae. GRUNBERG also noted mononuclear leukocytes with a smaller, reniform nucleus; the cell body, which in some cases contains vacuoles, is much more developed than in the preceding types and stains unevenly.A third • - 2- class of leukocyte has a more or less convoluted, lobed nucleus. Poly- nuclear leukocytes, probably derived from the latter, as well as vacuolized, degenerate leukocytes are also found. Finally, the author reports spherical acidophilic granules in a number of leuko- cytes of the first group, irregular acidophilic granules in the ele- ments of the second group, and rod-like, acidophilic granules in the similar leukocytes of the third group and in the polynuclear group. He did not find any leukocytes with basophilic granulation. SIAWCILLO (1895), studying the blood of the three piscine species: Gobio fluviatilis, Cobitis fossilis and Raya denticulata, was able to confirm the presence of typical eosinophils in the blood of the ray. He also observed cells'in which the protoplasm is filled with fine, acicular crystals, also stainable by eosin. In the blood of the gudgeon, the same author observed cells containing granules of irregular shape and size, generally polyhedral and of soft consistency. MESNIL, who p qie same year carried out research on the resist- ance of fish u£eenMetions, experimented on Gobio fluviatilis, Perca fluviatilis and Carassius auratus. In the lymph of the gudgeon, MESNIL noticed rare cells of special appearance, which he described el"e : "Th,.se 1 eliknnyte c A if f er frnm the n thera only in that the i r protoplasm, instead of assuming the usual bluish tint, is slightly but not uniformly stainable by eosin; one sees sometimes a kind of pink mosaic pattern in which the various sections are separated by blue lines, and sometimes coarse, irregular granules of variable shape and size. Thus they are not true eosinophils as defined by Ehrlich, but rather pseudo-eosinophils."These are likely the same cells as were observed by SIAWCILLO in the blood of the same fish. • MESNIL mentions further that granulated cells are absent in the blood of the perch, as well as in Carassius auratus and certain narine species which he examined from that point of view: Merlangus vulgaris, Pagellus centrodontus, Conger vulgaris, Scomber scombrus and Platessa vulgaris. MEINERTZ (1902) described eosinophils in certain freshwater fish, particularly in Leuciscus rutilus, in the perch and the tench. SABRAZÉS and MURATET (1908) studied the blood of a Lophobranch, the sea-horse, Syngnathus hippocampus (Linnaeus), taken from the Arcachon bassin. These authors report the existence of two kinds of white corpuscles in the blood of this fish: -3- 1. Lymphocytes, of variable size: some round, measuring from 3.22 to 7.83 microns in diameter; others less regularly rounded, measuring 5 to 8.7 by 7 to 10.5 microns. According to the authors, these lymphocytes cannot be differentiated from those of mammals. The large nucleus is less basophilic than the protoplasm; a nucleole can sometimes be seen. Among these lymphocytes, there

  • Phylogeny of the Epinephelinae (Teleostei: Serranidae)

    Phylogeny of the Epinephelinae (Teleostei: Serranidae)

    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 52(1): 240-283, 1993 PHYLOGENY OF THE EPINEPHELINAE (TELEOSTEI: SERRANIDAE) Carole C. Baldwin and G. David Johnson ABSTRACT Relationships among epinepheline genera are investigated based on cladistic analysis of larval and adult morphology. Five monophyletic tribes are delineated, and relationships among tribes and among genera of the tribe Grammistini are hypothesized. Generic com- position of tribes differs from Johnson's (1983) classification only in the allocation of Je- boehlkia to the tribe Grammistini rather than the Liopropomini. Despite the presence of the skin toxin grammistin in the Diploprionini and Grammistini, we consider the latter to be the sister group of the Liopropomini. This hypothesis is based, in part, on previously un- recognized larval features. Larval morphology also provides evidence of monophyly of the subfamily Epinephelinae, the clade comprising all epinepheline tribes except Niphonini, and the tribe Grammistini. Larval features provide the only evidence of a monophyletic Epine- phelini and a monophyletic clade comprising the Diploprionini, Liopropomini and Gram- mistini; identification of larvae of more epinephelines is needed to test those hypotheses. Within the tribe Grammistini, we propose that Jeboehlkia gladifer is the sister group of a natural assemblage comprising the former pseudogrammid genera (Aporops, Pseudogramma and Suttonia). The "soapfishes" (Grammistes, Grammistops, Pogonoperca and Rypticus) are not monophyletic, but form a series of sequential sister groups to Jeboehlkia, Aporops, Pseu- dogramma and Suttonia (the closest of these being Grammistops, followed by Rypticus, then Grammistes plus Pogonoperca). The absence in adult Jeboehlkia of several derived features shared by Grammistops, Aporops, Pseudogramma and Suttonia is incongruous with our hypothesis but may be attributable to paedomorphosis.

  • Testicular Inducing Steroidogenic Cells Trigger Sex Change in Groupers

    Testicular Inducing Steroidogenic Cells Trigger Sex Change in Groupers

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Testicular inducing steroidogenic cells trigger sex change in groupers Ryosuke Murata1,2*, Ryo Nozu2,3,4, Yuji Mushirobira1, Takafumi Amagai1, Jun Fushimi5, Yasuhisa Kobayashi2,6, Kiyoshi Soyano1, Yoshitaka Nagahama7,8 & Masaru Nakamura2,3 Vertebrates usually exhibit gonochorism, whereby their sex is fxed throughout their lifetime. However, approximately 500 species (~ 2%) of extant teleost fshes change sex during their lifetime. Although phylogenetic and evolutionary ecological studies have recently revealed that the extant sequential hermaphroditism in teleost fsh is derived from gonochorism, the evolution of this transsexual ability remains unclear. We revealed in a previous study that the tunica of the ovaries of several protogynous hermaphrodite groupers contain functional androgen-producing cells, which were previously unknown structures in the ovaries of gonochoristic fshes. Additionally, we demonstrated that these androgen-producing cells play critical roles in initiating female-to-male sex change in several grouper species. In the present study, we widened the investigation to include 7 genera and 18 species of groupers and revealed that representatives from most major clades of extant groupers commonly contain these androgen-producing cells, termed testicular-inducing steroidogenic (TIS) cells. Our fndings suggest that groupers acquired TIS cells in the tunica of the gonads for successful sex change during their evolution. Thus, TIS cells trigger the evolution of sex change in groupers. Apart from fshes, vertebrates do not have a transsexual ability; however, approximately 2% of extant teleost fshes can change sex, an ability called sequential hermaphroditism 1–4. Sex change in fshes is widely divided into three types: female-to-male (protogyny), male-to-female (protandry), and change in both directions3–5.

    Checklist of the Shore Fishes of New Caledonia

    Plates 15/1 & 15/2 Checklist of the shore fishes of New Caledonia Ronald FRICKE J & Michel KULBICKI 2 J Ichthyology, Staatliches Museumfiir Naturkunde, Rosenstein 1,70191 Stuttgart, Germany [email protected] 2IRD, UR128, Universite de Perpignan, 52, Avenue Paul Alduy, 66860 Perpignan Cedex, France michel.kulbicki@univ-perpJr The present checklist includes the fish species known from the upper 100 m of the New Caledonian seas. Some deep-sea fishes which are occasionally found in shallow water (e.g. Loyalty Islands), high sea species which only rarely enter coastal waters, or freshwater fish species which may be found in estuaries, are excluded from this list. The geographical distribution of the shore fishes of New Caledonia is discussed by Kulbicki (in press). A detailed annotated checklist of all New Caledonian fish species including distribution data, litera­ ture references and material lists is in preparation by R. Fricke. In the present checklist of shore fish species, all records which are verified either by museum specimens or by confirmation by revising authors, are included. Families are arranged systematically according to Nelson (2006), and species alphabetically under the family names. Doubtful records are discussed after the family name. The names which have been applied to New Caledonian shore fish species in the literature are either list­ ed as valid species, or as synonyms or misidentifications in parentheses behind the species name. In the checklist, reference is given to materials in the collections of the Australian Museum Sydney (AMS), the Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle Paris (MNHN), and the Staatliches Museum flir Naturkunde Stuttgart (SMNS), in order to document new records.
