Embryonic Development of Percula Clownfish, Amphiprion Percula (Lacepede, 1802)

Shunmugaraj 1Centre of Advanced Study in Marine Biology, Annamalai University Parangipettai-608 502, Tamilnadu, India 2Centre for Marine Living Resources and Ecology, Ministry of Earth Sciences, Cochin, Kerala, India Abstract: The Percula clownfish, Amphiprion percula (Lacepede, 1802) were reared in marine ornamental fish hatchery by using estuarine water to study their spawning behaviour, egg deposition and embryonic development. The spawning was recorded year round with the reproductive cycle between 14-21 days. The eggs were adhesive type, capsule shaped and bright orange in colour measuring 2.0-2.3 mm length and 1.0-1.2 mm width containing fat globules. The process of embryonic development was divided into 26 stages based on the morphological characteristics of the developing embryo. The time elapsed for each embryonic developmental stage was recorded. Hatching took place 151-152 hours after fertilization. Key words: Percula clownfish Captive condition Morphology Embryonic development INTRODUCTION transported to the hatchery at Centre of Advanced Study in Marine Biology, Annamalai University, Parangipettai, The anemonefish, Amphiprion percula is a tropical Tamil Nadu, India. For the better health and survival, the coral reef fish belonging to the family Pomacentridae fishes and anemones were packed in individual polythene and sub family Amphiprioninae and they are one of the bags filled with sufficient oxygen. After transportation, most popular attractions in the marine ornamental fish the fishes and anemones were accommodated in a trade. -

UV vision may have functional importance in many taxa including for foraging and communication in birds, reptiles, insects and teleost fishes. Shallow coral reefs transmit a broad spectrum of light and are rich in UV; driving the evolution of diverse spectral sensitivities in teleost reef fishes, including UV-sensitivity. However, the identities and sites of the specific visual genes that underly vision in reef fishes remain elusive and are useful in determining how molecular evolution has tuned vision to meet the ecological demands of life on the reef. -
Orange Clownfish (Amphiprion Percula)
NOAA Technical Memorandum NMFS-PIFSC-52 April 2016 doi:10.7289/V5J10152 Status Review Report: Orange Clownfish (Amphiprion percula) Kimberly A. Maison and Krista S. Graham Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center National Marine Fisheries Service National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration U.S. Department of Commerce About this document The mission of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is to understand and predict changes in the Earth’s environment and to conserve and manage coastal and oceanic marine resources and habitats to help meet our Nation’s economic, social, and environmental needs. As a branch of NOAA, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) conducts or sponsors research and monitoring programs to improve the scientific basis for conservation and management decisions. NMFS strives to make information about the purpose, methods, and results of its scientific studies widely available. NMFS’ Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) uses the NOAA Technical Memorandum NMFS series to achieve timely dissemination of scientific and technical information that is of high quality but inappropriate for publication in the formal peer- reviewed literature. The contents are of broad scope, including technical workshop proceedings, large data compilations, status reports and reviews, lengthy scientific or statistical monographs, and more. NOAA Technical Memoranda published by the PIFSC, although informal, are subjected to extensive review and editing and reflect sound professional work. Accordingly, they may be referenced in the formal scientific and technical literature. A NOAA Technical Memorandum NMFS issued by the PIFSC may be cited using the following format: Maison, K.

Patterns of Evolution in Gobies (Teleostei: Gobiidae): a Multi-Scale Phylogenetic Investigation

Frank L. Pezold, PhD Chris Bird, PhD Chair Committee Member Kevin W. Conway, PhD James D. Hogan, PhD Committee Member Committee Member Lea-Der Chen, PhD Graduate Faculty Representative December 2014 ABSTRACT The family of fishes commonly known as gobies (Teleostei: Gobiidae) is one of the most diverse lineages of vertebrates in the world. With more than 1700 species of gobies spread among more than 200 genera, gobies are the most species-rich family of marine fishes. Gobies can be found in nearly every aquatic habitat on earth, and are often the most diverse and numerically abundant fishes in tropical and subtropical habitats, especially coral reefs. Their remarkable taxonomic, morphological and ecological diversity make them an ideal model group for studying the processes driving taxonomic and phenotypic diversification in aquatic vertebrates. Unfortunately the phylogenetic relationships of many groups of gobies are poorly resolved, obscuring our understanding of the evolution of their ecological diversity. This dissertation is a multi-scale phylogenetic study that aims to clarify phylogenetic relationships across the Gobiidae and demonstrate the utility of this family for studies of macroevolution and speciation at multiple evolutionary timescales. -

Accepted 4 April, 2008 Anemone fishes are a group of 28 species of coral reef fishes belonging to the family, Pomacentridae; subfamily, Amphiprioninae and all have an obligate symbiotic relationship with sea anemones. Two species of these small ornamental fishes have been identified in the Persian Gulf including Amphiprion clarkii and Amphiprion sebae. The phylogenetic relationship between Amphiprion species of the Persian Gulf was studied by collecting 15 samples from three Iranian islands, Larak, Farur and Kish. DNA was extracted from each sample and a part of mtDNA was amplified. Two pairs of primers were designed to amplify a final target of 400 bp by nested-PCR. Each amplican was sequenced, aligned and genetic diversity among samples was investigated by phylogenetic analysis. Results show that there is no significant genetic variation among A. clarkii individuals; however, A. sebae individuals from Larak were different from other fishes of the same species. Most probably this is due to the ability of A. -

E-mail: [email protected] The Heteractis magni¢ca assemblage at the tip of the Sinai Peninsula was examined. The actinian size, location, and number of resident anemone¢shes were recorded. The anemones were found at depths down to approximately 40 m and the sizes of clustering H. magni¢ca and clusters were positively correlated with depth. The shallow waters of the anemone assemblage contained few mainly small, solitary actinians. There seemed to be a tendency for solitary actinians to cluster once they reached a certain size-range. The resident anemone¢shes Amphiprion bicinctus and Dascyllus trimaculatus were present in very large numbers (approximately 250 and 1800 respectively) and the A. bicinctus home range size was positively correlated with depth.

SAIA List of Ecologically Unsustainable Species
SAIA List of Ecologically Unsustainable Species Note The aquarium fishery in Southeast Asia contributes to the destruction of coral reefs. Although illegal, the use of cyanide to stun fish is still widespread, especially for species that seek shelter between coral branches, in holes, and among rocks (like damsels or gobies), but also those occurring at greater depths (e.g., dwarf angels, some anthias) or the ones fetching high prices (like angelfish or surgeonfish). While ideally the dosage is only intended to stun the targeted fish, it is often sufficient to kill the non-targeted invertebrates building the reef. As such, is a destructive fishing method, banned by regulation in Indonesia and the Philippines. Fish caught with cyanide are a product of illegal fishing. According to EU Regulation, the import of products from illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing is prohibited.* Similarly, the Lacey Act, a conservation law in the United States, prohibits trade in wildlife, fish, and plants that have been illegally taken, possessed, transported, or sold. However, enforcing these laws is difficult because there is insufficient control in both the countries of origin and in the markets. Therefore, the likelihood of purchasing a product from illegal fishing is real. Ask your dealer about the origin of the offered animals and insist on sustainable fishing methods! Inadequate or deficient fishery management is another, often underestimated, problem of aquarium fisheries in South East Asia. Many fish come from unreported and unregulated fisheries. For most coral fish species, but also invertebrates, no data exist. The status of local populations and catch volumes are thus unknown.
