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.

  • C.9. Ctenochaetus Binotatus (Itingan) C.9.1. General Biology C.9.2. Size
    C.9. Ctenochaetus binotatus (Itingan) C.9.1. General Biology Inhabits coral and rubble areas of deep lagoon and seaward reefs. Usually solitary, grazing on surface algae. Feeds by scooping film of detritus and unicellular algae (e.g. dinoflagellate Gambierdiscus toxicus) that produce ciguatera toxin making this species a key link in the ciguatera food chain. Commonly caught by nets. Distributed in Indo-Pacific: East Africa to the Tuamoto Islands, north to southern Japan, south to Figure xx. The target species, Ctenochaetus inotatus central New South Wales (Australia) and New Caledonia. Not known from the Red Sea, Gulf of Oman, the Gulf, the Hawaiian Islands, Marquesas, Rapa, Pitcairn Islands, and Easter Island. (source: FishBase) C.9.2. Size Distribution A total of 162 fish individuals of Ctenochaetus binotatus were measured to the nearest centimeter. Measured length were from both the weekly measurements of the enumerators and biological samples brought Figure xx. Size distribution of Ctenochaetus binotatus with corresponding Lm50 of C. striatus of this study. to the lab. The smallest individual measured 7.0 cm SL and the largest is 17.0 cm SL. Approximately 30% of the total catch is below the computed Lm50 of C. striatus of this study. Since, there is no available data and literatures regarding the length at which it reaches maturity, we will use the estimated Lm50 and Lm95 of C. striatus. C.9.3. Gonadal Maturation and Maturation Curve Only 5 biological specimens were brought to the lab for examination. Out of 5 samples, 4 were males and only 1 female. All were staged as mature.

  • Estimation of Fatty Acid Profile and Proximate
    ESTIMATION OF FATTY ACID PROFILE AND PROXIMATE COMPOSITION OF CANTHIDERMIS MACULATA (BLOCH, 1786) (TETRADONTIFORMES, BALISTIDAE) COLLECTED FROM SOUTHERN COAST OF SRI LANKA 1WILLIAMS S.S., 2MUNASINGHE D.H.N. 1,2Department of Zoology, University of Ruhuna,Sri Lanka. E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract - Rough oceanic triggerfish Canthidermis maculata (Bloch, 1786) belongs to family Balistidae and has year round availability as the main by-catch species in tuna fishery industry. Due to high availability and low market value, this species gain low demand in the local market. Further, the society believes that the taste of this fish species is similar to chicken and therefore chicken dishes are prepared with the substitution of C. maculata. Due to lack of knowledge gap of nutritional value of this species, the objective of current study was to estimate nutritional components of C. maculata in order to popularize it as a food source to fulfill nutritional requirement of the society. Fish samples were collected from fish landing sites of three regions (Mirissa, Dondra and Tangalle) in the southern coast of Sri Lanka. Samples from commercially demanded fish species Cephalopholis sonnerati (Tomato Hind) and chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) were analyzed in order to compare the proximate values of C. maculata. Samples were collected from three individuals of each species and each sample was analyzed in triplicates. Fatty acid profile of C. maculata was determined by Fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) Test with gas chromatographic technique. Analyses revealed that flesh samples of C. maculata contained important fatty acids such as Eicosapentaenoic acid and Docosahexaenoic acid in high amounts with other essential fatty acids.

  • Parasites of Coral Reef Fish: How Much Do We Know? with a Bibliography of Fish Parasites in New Caledonia
    Belg. J. Zool., 140 (Suppl.): 155-190 July 2010 Parasites of coral reef fish: how much do we know? With a bibliography of fish parasites in New Caledonia Jean-Lou Justine (1) UMR 7138 Systématique, Adaptation, Évolution, Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, 57, rue Cuvier, F-75321 Paris Cedex 05, France (2) Aquarium des lagons, B.P. 8185, 98807 Nouméa, Nouvelle-Calédonie Corresponding author: Jean-Lou Justine; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. A compilation of 107 references dealing with fish parasites in New Caledonia permitted the production of a parasite-host list and a host-parasite list. The lists include Turbellaria, Monopisthocotylea, Polyopisthocotylea, Digenea, Cestoda, Nematoda, Copepoda, Isopoda, Acanthocephala and Hirudinea, with 580 host-parasite combinations, corresponding with more than 370 species of parasites. Protozoa are not included. Platyhelminthes are the major group, with 239 species, including 98 monopisthocotylean monogeneans and 105 digeneans. Copepods include 61 records, and nematodes include 41 records. The list of fish recorded with parasites includes 195 species, in which most (ca. 170 species) are coral reef associated, the rest being a few deep-sea, pelagic or freshwater fishes. The serranids, lethrinids and lutjanids are the most commonly represented fish families. Although a list of published records does not provide a reliable estimate of biodiversity because of the important bias in publications being mainly in the domain of interest of the authors, it provides a basis to compare parasite biodiversity with other localities, and especially with other coral reefs. The present list is probably the most complete published account of parasite biodiversity of coral reef fishes.

  • In Marine Fishes, Abalistes Stellaris (Balistidae) from the Red Sea, Coast of Yemen
    JKAU: Mar. Sci., Vol. 22, No. 1, pp: 3-13 (2011 A.D. / 1432 A.H.) DOI : 10.4197/Mar. 22-1.1 Hypocreadium cavum (Digenea: Lepocreadiidae: Hypocreadium) in Marine Fishes, Abalistes stellaris (Balistidae) From the Red Sea, Coast of Yemen. Ali B. Al-Zubaidy Department of Marine Biology and Fisheries, Faculty of Marine Science and Environment, Hodeidah University, Yemen Abstract. Specimens of the marine fish, Abalistes stellaris (Balistidae) were collected from local fish market in Hodeidah during the period between September 2008 and July 2010 . Six out of 80 (7.5%) of these fish were found to harbour intestinal trematodes, Hypocreadium cavum Bray and Cribb, 1996 (Lepocreadiidae). Since there is no previous report on these digenetic trematode from any fish host in Yemen, the present recording may well be considered the first in this country. Introduction Members of the Lepocreadiidae Odhner, 1905 have a cosmopolitan distribution as intestinal parasites of marine teleosts (Bartoli and Bray, 2004). They are recognizable as worms with widely distributed Vitelline folices, a spinous tegument, a cirrus-sac, usually with a distinct external seminal vesicle and a typically I-shaped excretory vesicle (Bray, 2005). Ozaki (1936) erected the genus Hypocreadium to include H.symmetrorchis in Monocanthus cirrhifer from Japan. Manter (1940), Arai (1962) and Nahhas and Cable (1964) concluded that Hypocreadium Ozaki,1936 should be considered as a synonym to Pseudocreadium Layman,1930. However, Yamaguti (1971) refused these conclusions and preferred to retain the genus Hypocreadium Ozaki, 1936 as a separate 3 4 Ali B. Al-Zubaidy genus which could be easily separated from other related genera according to the position of genital pore, ovary and prostate cells as well as the extension of the excretory vesicle.

A new species of triggerfish, Abalistes filamentosus is described on the basis of 17 specimens collected at depths from 61 to 180 m in Japan, the Northwest Shelf of Australia, and the Timor Sea. It differs from the congener, A. stellatus (Anonymous, 1798), by having filamentous upper and lower caudal-fin rays, 3–4 longitudinal grooves on the cheek, and by lacking yellow/pale blue spots and yellow reticulations on the body. The new species is not sexually dimorphic. The authorship of Abalistes stellatus is clarified. MATSUURA, KEIICHI, & TETSUO YOSHINO, 2004.
