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.

  • A Comprehensive Petrochemical Vulnerability Index for Marine Fishes in the Gulf Of
    A Comprehensive Petrochemical Vulnerability Index for Marine Fishes in the Gulf of Mexico by Megan Woodyard A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Approved April 2020 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Beth Polidoro, Co-Chair Steven Saul, Co-Chair Cole Matson ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2020 ABSTRACT The Gulf of Mexico (or “Gulf”) is of critical significance to the oil and gas industries’ offshore production, but the potential for accidental petrochemical influx into the Gulf due to such processes is high; two of the largest marine oil spills in history, Pemex's Ixtoc I spill (1979) and British Petroleum's (BP) Deepwater Horizon (2010), have occurred in the region. However, the Gulf is also of critical significance to thousands of unique species, many of which may be irreparably harmed by accidental petrochemical exposure. To better manage the conservation and recovery of marine species in the Gulf ecosystem, a Petrochemical Vulnerability Index was developed to determine the potential impact of a petrochemical influx on Gulf marine fishes, therein providing an objective framework with which to determine the best immediate and long- term management strategies for resource managers and decision-makers. The resulting Petrochemical Vulnerability Index (PVI) was developed and applied to all bony fishes and shark/ray species in the Gulf of Mexico (1,670 spp), based on a theoretical petrochemical vulnerability framework developed by peer review. The PVI for fishes embodies three key facets of species vulnerability: likelihood of exposure, individual sensitivity, and population resilience, and comprised of 11 total metrics (Distribution, Longevity, Mobility, Habitat, Pre-Adult Stage Length, Pre-Adult Exposure; Increased Adult Sensitivity Due to UV Light, Increased Pre-Adult Sensitivity Due to UV Light; and Abundance, Reproductive Turnover Rate, Diet/Habitat Specialization).

Abstract The tree of life of fishes is in a state of flux because we still lack a comprehensive phylogeny that includes all major groups. The situation is most critical for a large clade of spiny-finned fishes, traditionally referred to as percomorphs, whose uncertain relationships have plagued ichthyologists for over a century.

DAVID JOHNSON m I I SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 559 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 Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies 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 of 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.

An organizational element within NOAA, the Off ice of Fisheries is responsible for fisheries policy and the direction of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). In addition to its formal publications, the NMFS uses the NOAA Technical Memorandum series to issue informal scientific and technical publications when complete formal review and editorial processing are not appropriate or feasible. Documents within this series, however, reflect sound professional work and may be referenced in the formal scientific and technical literature. Inquiries regarding this report and requests for copies should be sent to: H. G. Moser Southwest Fisheries Science Center P.O.

    click for previous page Perciformes: Zoarcoidei: Zoarcidae 3493 Suborder ZOARCOIDEI ZOARCIDAE Eelpouts by M.E. Anderson iagnostic characters: Small fishes (size to 20 cm), body shortened, eel-like. Head ovoid or Dflattened; nostrils single; no spines on head or opercle. No supramaxilla or basibranchial teeth. Gill openings restricted. Branchiostegal rays usually 6. No spines in fins (except few boreal species not occurring in the area); dorsal and anal fins confluent with caudal fin; pectoral fins small; pelvic fins absent or vestigial, with 2 or 3 soft rays. Scales cycloid, minute, imbedded, or absent. Lateral line on body, when present, consisting of superficial, free neuromasts not in a canal. Pyloric caeca, when present, reduced to 2 small nubs. Ovary single. No swimbladder. Colour: various, deep-sea species usually uniformly brown or black, often with bluish tinges, to cream white; species in the area uniformly dark brown or black. Dieidolycus adocetus Melanostigma vitiazi Habitat, biology, and fisheries: Most eelpouts are benthic and found on continental slopes to abyssal plains. Two genera, Lycodapus and Melanostigma, are deep pelagic. Similar families occurring in the area Carapidae: anal-fin origin in advance of dorsal-fin ori- gin (except in Pyramodontinae) and under pectoral fins; 2 pairs of nostrils; enlarged canines at symphysis of both jaws in some genera; swimbladder present. Carapidae Ophidiidae: pelvic fins, when present, under preoper- cle or chin; 2 pairs of nostrils; swimbladder present. Bythitidae: male with intromittent organ; 2 pairs of nostrils; opercular spine usually strong. Aphyonidae: male with intromittent organ; 2 pairs of nostrils; eyes degenerate, extremely small. Bythitidae Moridae: 2 dorsal fins; pelvic fins well developed, chin barbel present; caudal fin not confluent with dorsal and anal fins.
