Acanthurus Olivaceus Bloch & Schneider, 1801 (Tahiti) Fiche 1.028 Poissons-Chirurgiens, Acanthurus olivaceus Bloch & Schneider, 1801 (Tahiti). Nom commun: Chirurgien à tache orange. Anglais: Orange Epaulette Surgeon fish. Origine et habitat naturel: Pacifique central et ouest (Australie, Indonésie, Îles Cook, Hawaï…). Les adultes se rencontrent par petits groupes sur les récifs côtiers peu profonds (jusqu’à 20 à 25 mètres) et les zones sablonneuses des lagons. Les juvéniles sont surtout dans des zones d’éboulis rocheux offrant nourriture et cachettes. Description: Acanthurus olivaceus est un grand Chirurgien (35 cm dans la nature). Les juvéniles sont à prédominance jaunes avec un liseré bleutés sur le pourtour de la nageoire anale. Les adultes sont facilement reconnaissables à la tache orange normalement très prononcée présente derrière l’œil et qui contraste parfaitement à l’aspect sombre du reste de corps. L’épine n’est pas visible sur un sujet adulte saint. Note aquariophile: Lors du choix d’un spécimen, il est vivement recommandé de s’assurer qu’il s’alimente bien (L’alimentation par des granulés prouvera une bonne acclimatation et l’assurance que l’individu souhaité n’as pas été péché la veille !). L’expérience montre qu’Acanthurus olivaceus est malheureusement à éviter lorsqu’il n’est pas très actif et surtout lorsqu’il est amaigri. Pays ou zone d’importation: Hawaï, Bali (Indonésie). Il est très apprécié et souvent importé, il se trouve dans le commerce de 40 à 120 € selon sa taille. Coût d’entretiens moyen annuel de l’aquarium de base pouvant les maintenir: Ce coût peut être estimé entre 100 et 300 euros.

    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.

  • Fish Movement in the Red Sea and Implications for Marine Protected Area Design
    Fish Movement in the Red Sea and Implications for Marine Protected Area Design Thesis by Irene Antonina Salinas Akhmadeeva In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Science King Abdullah University of Science and Technology Thuwal, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia April, 2021 2 EXAMINATION COMMITTEE PAGE The thesis of Irene Antonina Salinas Akhmadeeva is approved by the examination committee. Committee Chairperson: Prof. Michael L. Berumen Committee Co-Chair: Dr. Alison Green Committee Members: Dr. Darren Coker, Prof. Rusty Brainard 3 COPYRIGHT © April 2021 Irene Antonina Salinas Akhmadeeva All Rights Reserved 4 ABSTRACT Fish Movement in the Red Sea and Implications for Marine Protected Area Design Irene Antonina Salinas Akhmadeeva The Red Sea is valued for its biodiversity and the livelihoods it provides for many. It now faces overfishing, habitat degradation, and anthropogenic induced climate-change. Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) became a powerful management tool to protect vulnerable species and ecosystems, re-establish their balance, and enhance marine populations. For this, they need to be well designed and managed. There are 15 designated MPAs in the Red Sea but their level of enforcement is unclear. To design an MPA it is necessary to know if it will protect species of interest by considering their movement needs. In this thesis I aim at understanding fish movement in the Red Sea, specifically home range (HR) to inform MPA size designation. With not much empirical data available on HR for Red Sea fish, I used a Machine Learning (ML) classification model, trained with empirical literature HR measurements with Maximum Total Length (L Max), Aspect Ratio (AR) of the caudal fin, and Trophic Level as predictor variables.

  • A Hybrid Surgeonfish, Acanthurus Triostegus X A. Polyzona,From
    NOTE A hybrid surgeonfish, Acanthurus triostegus x A. polyzona, from Mauritius JOSEPH H. ROWLETT Division of Insects, Field Museum of Natural History, 1400 South Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, IL 60605, USA & Department of Organismal Biology and Anatomy, University of Chicago, 1027 East 57th Street, Chicago, IL 60637, USA E-mail: [email protected] Abstract An unusually patterned surgeonfish representing a likely hybrid of Acanthurus triostegus and A. polyzona was collected and photographed from Mauritius. The specimen possesses an intermediate number of black bars (8) relative to its parent species (6 & 9, respectively), as well as having facial markings showing characteristics of both taxa. This represents the first report of a hybrid for either species. Key words: coral reef fishes, Indo-Pacific Ocean, ecology, biogeography, endemism Citation: Rowlett, J.H. (2018) A hybrid surgeonfish, Acanthurus triostegus x A. polyzona, from Mauritius. Journal of the Ocean Science Foundation, 30, 39–42. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1256848 The surgeonfishes of Acanthurus are a diverse, circumtropical group associated with coral reef ecosystems, where they play a dominant ecological role as herbivores (Marshell & Mumby 2015), detritivores (Tebbet, Goatley & Bellwood 2017), and, less commonly, zooplanktivores (Friedman et al. 2016). Hybridization is a well- documented phenomenon in this genus and is particularly common in so-called biogeographic “suture zones” (DiBattista et al. 2016, Payet et al. 2016), where allopatric sister species narrowly overlap. Documented examples include A. leucosternon x A. nigricans and A. tennenti x A. olivaceus in the eastern Indian Ocean (Hobbs & Allen 2014) and A. lineatus x A. sohal at Socotra, western Indian Ocean (DiBattista et al.

Photo MAYOTTE – Océan Indien Origine et habitat naturel: Océan Indien (Seychelles et Bali, Indonésie). Les juvéniles fréquentent les lagons peu profonds alors que les adultes se trouvent sur les pentes externes des récifs, en petits groupes, ainsi que sur les terrasses exposées à la houle. Description: Acanthurus tennentii est facilement identifiable à ses deux marques sombres situées derrière l’œil. L’épine du pédoncule, est bien visible et entourée d’un liseré souvent bleuté chez les spécimens de bonne taille. Note aquariophile: Il est indispensable de leur offrir un aquarium ayant une forte capacité de brassage et un éclairage suffisamment important pour la croissance des algues et autres formes végétales. Dans un bac de bonne taille (minimum de deux mètres de façade), un Acanthurus tennentii peu très rapidement atteindre une taille de 40 à 45 cm. Après une période d’acclimatation très délicate, il peut vivre de longues années. C’est une espèce agressive envers les autres Poissons-chirurgiens. Jusqu’à 30 cm dans la nature. Note aquariophile: Poissons robustes et caractériels à réserver aux très grands bacs récifaux ou non. Pays ou zone d’importation: Maldives, Bali, Mer Rouge. Acanthurus tennentii se trouve dans le commerce de 45 à 150 € selon sa taille. Coût d’entretiens moyen annuel de l’aquarium de base pouvant les maintenir: Ce coût peut être estimé entre 200 et 400 euros (très grands bacs).

Contributor(s): (Not specified) Facilitators/Compilers: (Not specified) Assessment Rationale Acanthurus achilles is widespread and abundant throughout its range. It is found in isolated oceanic islands and is caught only incidentally for food in parts of its distribution. It is a major component of the aquarium trade and is a popular food fish in West Hawaii. There is evidence of declines from collection and concern for the sustained abundance of this species.
