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.

An initial assess- ment of parasite genus and infestation level was based on 192 cysts extracted from 2 fish samples, taken in August (n = 20) and December 2000 (n = 14). Our results confirmed the sole as second inter- mediate host of bucephalid trematodes of the genus Prosorhynchus, which has not previously been noticed in Atlantic stocks. Prevalence, ca. 65% on both dates, indicated an substantial infestation of these small fish, with a mean abundance of parasites increasing from August (3.3 ± 1.1) to December (8.1 ± 3.4). Cysts were localised in all body parts of the host, and positioning varied depending on sampling date. However, the cephalic area was always the most infested (72.7 and 49.1% in August and December, respectively). Parasite measurements suggested a protracted infestation process, which may be initiated in spring during sole settlement. Most of the largest metacercariae had the rhynchus characteristics of P. crucibulum, though the possibility of them being other species (P.

LUIZ AND JOHN E. MCCOSKER Luiz, O.J. and J.E. McCosker 2018. Snake eels (Ophichthidae) of the remote St. Peter and St. Paul’s Archipelago (Equatorial Atlantic): Museum records after 37 years of shelf life. Arquipelago. Life and Marine Sciences 36: 9 - 13. Despite of its major zoogeographical interest, the biological diversity of central Atlantic oceanic islands are still poorly known because of its remoteness. Incomplete species inventories are a hindrance to macroecology and conservation because knowledge on species distribution are important for identifying patterns and processes in biodiversity and for conservation planning. Records of the snake-eel family Ophichthidae for the St. Peter and St. Paul’s Archipelago, Brazil, are presented for the first time after revision of material collected and deposited in a museum collection 37 yrs ago. Specimens of Apterichtus kendalli and Herpetoichthys regius were collected using rotenone on sand bottoms and one Myrichthys sp. was observed and photographed swimming over a rocky reef. Remarkably, these species were not seen or collected in the St. Peter and St. Paul’s Archipelago ever since despite the substantial increase of biological expeditions over the past two decades, suggesting that the unjustified rotenone sampling prohibition in Brazil is hindering advancement of the nation’s biological diversity knowledge. Key words: Central Atlantic islands, Anguilliformes, sampling bias, rotenone prohibition. Osmar J.

FIRST RECORD OF STARGAZER SNAKE EEL BRACHYSOMOPHIS CIRROCHEILOS (FAMILY: OPHICHTHIDAE), FROM PAKISTANI WATER Syeda Kashifa Zohra and Hamid Badar Osmany Marine Fisheries Department, Karachi, Pakistan. ([email protected]) ABSTRACT The paper describes the first ever confirmation of existence of Brachysomophis cirrocheilos Bleeker known as stargazer snake eel from Pakistani water. As ample was collected from the Swatch area of Sindh coast of Pakistan on 6thJanuary 2016. This document provides a short description with photographs of the sample and distribution. Key-words: Stargazer snake eel, Brachysomophis cirrocheilos,Ophichthidae, Sindh, Pakistan. INTRODUCTION Brachysomophis cirrocheilos (Bleeker) described with the name of Ophisurus cirrocheilos by Bleeker in 1857 from Ambon, Indonesia. Family Ophichthidae (snake eel and worm eel) comprises 5 genera and 7 species in Pakistan (Talwar, 1991; Remadevi and Ravichandran, 1997; Castle and McCosker, 1999; Moazzam and Osmany , 2015). The family Ophichthidae (snake eels) has a typical feature of finless firm pointed tail tip. MATERIALS AND METHODS The specimen was collected from Karachi fish harbor on Jan 08th, 2016. The information regarding location of the specimen, length, weight and different body parts measurements to the nearest mm were noted. Then photographs of all body parts which help to identified as a new record of this species. After confirmation and measurements, specimen was fixed in 10% formalin in the museum of the MFD, Govtof Pakistan. DESCRIPTION The sample showed a grouping of feature, like firms sharp tail tip among dorsal fin along with anal fin which ends ahead of tail tip (Fig. 1) and pectoral fins are well developed (Fig.

SUMMARY: The sagittal otolith of 348 species, belonging to 99 families and 22 orders of marine Teleostean fishes from the north and central eastern Atlantic and western Mediterranean were described using morphological and morphometric characters. The morphological descriptions were based on the otolith shape, outline and sulcus acusticus features. The mor- phometric parameters determined were otolith length (OL, mm), height (OH, mm), perimeter (P; mm) and area (A; mm2) and were expressed in terms of shape indices as circularity (P2/A), rectangularity (A/(OL×OH)), aspect ratio (OH/OL; %) and OL/fish size. The present Atlas provides information that complements the characterization of some ichthyologic taxa. In addition, it constitutes an important instrument for species identification using sagittal otoliths collected in fossiliferous layers, in archaeological sites or in feeding remains of bony fish predators. Keywords: otolith, sagitta, morphology, morphometry, western Mediterranean, north eastern Atlantic, central eastern Atlantic.

HASTINGS1 SYNOPSIS: The establishment of the fish fauna on a new jetty at East Pass at the mouth of Choctawhatchee Bay, Okaloosa County, Florida, was studied from June, 1968, to January, 1971. Important components of the jetty fauna during its initial stages of development were: (a) original residents that exhibit some attraction to reef habitats, including some sand-beach inhabitants, several pelagic species, and a few ubiquitous estuarine species; and (b) reef fishes originating from permanent populations on offshore reefs.
