  • 7-Day / 6-Night Itinerary: Maumere to Alor Alor
    Ultimate Indonesian Yachts 7-DAY / 6-NIGHT ITINERARY: MAUMERE TO ALOR Embark on a 7-day sailing sojourn in the mysterious Alor archipelago. This journey begins in Maumere and ends in Alor. ALOR ARCHIPELAGO The Alor archipelago is a series of rugged, volcanic islands stretching east of Bali, Sumbawa and Flores. It is perhaps most notable for its cultural diversity – the small archipelago is home to no less than 100 communities speaking 8 languages and 52 dialects. Dutch settlers fixed local rajas in the coastal areas after 1908, but were unable to penetrate the interior with its notorious fierce headhunters up until as late as the 1950s. This little-visited area remains known for its enduring indigenous animist traditions and the highland villages with their Moko drums. The many small villages in the vicinity are home to a welcoming and curious people, and visitors may also come across local spear fishermen sporting wooden framed goggles, setting traditional woven fish traps on the reefs. Among the islands surrounding Alor, deep channels make up part of the migratory route for many types of whales and the underwater landscape features breathtaking walls and coral gardens occupied by large schools of fish. These waters are notorious for powerful currents, particularly in the narrow straits between Pantar, Alor and Lembata, attracting predators from the deep. Off the Alor coast, Komba Island is home to the very active Batu Tara volcano, which billows smoke every half hour. www.ultimate-indonesian-yachts.com Ultimate Indonesian Yachts SAMPLE ITINERARY DAY 1: MAUMERE Upon arrival at the airport, you will be collected by your crew and transferred to your private yacht.

  • Langston R and H Spalding. 2017
    A survey of fishes associated with Hawaiian deep-water Halimeda kanaloana (Bryopsidales: Halimedaceae) and Avrainvillea sp. (Bryopsidales: Udoteaceae) meadows Ross C. Langston1 and Heather L. Spalding2 1 Department of Natural Sciences, University of Hawai`i- Windward Community College, Kane`ohe,¯ HI, USA 2 Department of Botany, University of Hawai`i at Manoa,¯ Honolulu, HI, USA ABSTRACT The invasive macroalgal species Avrainvillea sp. and native species Halimeda kanaloana form expansive meadows that extend to depths of 80 m or more in the waters off of O`ahu and Maui, respectively. Despite their wide depth distribution, comparatively little is known about the biota associated with these macroalgal species. Our primary goals were to provide baseline information on the fish fauna associated with these deep-water macroalgal meadows and to compare the abundance and diversity of fishes between the meadow interior and sandy perimeters. Because both species form structurally complex three-dimensional canopies, we hypothesized that they would support a greater abundance and diversity of fishes when compared to surrounding sandy areas. We surveyed the fish fauna associated with these meadows using visual surveys and collections made with clove-oil anesthetic. Using these techniques, we recorded a total of 49 species from 25 families for H. kanaloana meadows and surrounding sandy areas, and 28 species from 19 families for Avrainvillea sp. habitats. Percent endemism was 28.6% and 10.7%, respectively. Wrasses (Family Labridae) were the most speciose taxon in both habitats (11 and six species, respectively), followed by gobies for H. kanaloana (six Submitted 18 November 2016 species). The wrasse Oxycheilinus bimaculatus and cardinalfish Apogonichthys perdix Accepted 13 April 2017 were the most frequently-occurring species within the H.

E-mail: [email protected] 2 Conservation International Indonesia Marine Program. Jl. Dr. Muwardi No. 17, Renon, Denpasar 80235 Indonesia. Abstract A checklist of shallow (to 60 m depth) reef fishes is provided for the Bird’s Head Peninsula region of West Papua, Indonesia. The area, which occupies the extreme western end of New Guinea, contains the world’s most diverse assemblage of coral reef fishes. The current checklist, which includes both historical records and recent survey results, includes 1,511 species in 451 genera and 111 families. Respective species totals for the three main coral reef areas – Raja Ampat Islands, Fakfak-Kaimana coast, and Cenderawasih Bay – are 1320, 995, and 877. In addition to its extraordinary species diversity, the region exhibits a remarkable level of endemism considering its relatively small area. A total of 26 species in 14 families are currently considered to be confined to the region. Introduction and finally a complex geologic past highlighted The region consisting of eastern Indonesia, East by shifting island arcs, oceanic plate collisions, Timor, Sabah, Philippines, Papua New Guinea, and widely fluctuating sea levels (Polhemus and the Solomon Islands is the global centre of 2007). reef fish diversity (Allen 2008).

  • Annotated Checklist of the Fishes of Wake Atoll1
    Annotated Checklist ofthe Fishes ofWake Atoll 1 Phillip S. Lobel2 and Lisa Kerr Lobel 3 Abstract: This study documents a total of 321 fishes in 64 families occurring at Wake Atoll, a coral atoll located at 19 0 17' N, 1660 36' E. Ten fishes are listed by genus only and one by family; some of these represent undescribed species. The first published account of the fishes of Wake by Fowler and Ball in 192 5 listed 107 species in 31 families. This paper updates 54 synonyms and corrects 20 misidentifications listed in the earlier account. The most recent published account by Myers in 1999 listed 122 fishes in 33 families. Our field surveys add 143 additional species records and 22 new family records for the atoll. Zoogeo­ graphic analysis indicates that the greatest species overlap of Wake Atoll fishes occurs with the Mariana Islands. Several fish species common at Wake Atoll are on the IUCN Red List or are otherwise of concern for conservation. Fish pop­ ulations at Wake Atoll are protected by virtue of it being a U.S. military base and off limits to commercial fishing.

  • The Endemic Shore Fishes of the Hawaiian Islands, Lord Howe Island and Easter Island
    49 THE ENDEMIC SHORE FISHES OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS, LORD HOWiZ ISLAND AND EASTER ISLAND Par J.E. RANDALL * INTRODUCTION The author has been privileged to collect and observe fishes at the three insular localities in Oceania which have the highest percentage of endemic fishes : Hawaiian Islands, Easter Island (27” S ; 109” W) and Lord Howe Island (31° 30’ S ; 159O W) (1). At a11of these islands the most abundant shore fishes, in general, are the species unique to the islands. Before discussing these fishes, the question of what constitutes an endemic species must be considered. The islands mentioned above are all isolated peripherahy in the subtropi- cal Pacifie. Because of limited gene flow with other insular populations, many species of fishes at these islands exhibit differences. For some populations the differences are slight, and few systematists would be tempted to assign specific rank to them. Other populations have differentiated SOmarkedly (or are relies) that nearly ail workers would agree to call them species. In between these two groupings, for which there is a clear consensus, there are populations which some systematists would classify as species and others at best as subspecies. GOSLINE and BROCK (1960) for example, regard the Hawaiian variant of the convict surgeonfish Acanthurus triostegus (Linnaeus) as a species, Acanthurus sandvicensis Streets, whereas RANDALL (1956) labelled it Acanthurus Diostegus sandvicensis. GOSLINE and BROCK cari point out that they are able to sepa- rate 100 percent of the Hawaiian variant by a sickle-shaped dark mark at the pectoral base. RANDALL, on the other hand, feels that this slight color diffe- rente and broadly overlapping fin-ray Count do not constitute speciflc-level differentiation - that the Hawaiian form would freely interbreed with trioste- guselswhere in its range if it had the opportunity to do SO.Since natural’ * Bernice P.

They may be modified in the light of further knowledge gained in subsequent stages of the Project. The designations employed and the presentation of material in this publication do not imply the expression of any opinion on the part of FAO or donors concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area, or concerning the determination of its frontiers or boundaries. ii Preface The Project “Scientific and Institutional Cooperation to Support Responsible Fisheries in the Eastern Mediterranean- EastMed is executed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and funded by Greece, Italy and EC. The Eastern Mediterranean countries have for long lacked a cooperation framework as created for other areas of the Mediterranean, namely the FAO sub-regional projects AdriaMed, MedSudMed, CopeMed II and ArtFiMed. This fact leaded for some countries to be sidelined, where international and regional cooperation for fishery research and management is concerned.

  • Van Galen's Memorandum on the Alor Islands in 1946. an Annotated
    14 HumaNetten Nr 25 Våren 2010 Van Galen’s memorandum on the Alor Islands in 1946. An annotated translation with an introduction. Part 1. Av Hans Hägerdal Among the 17,000 islands of Indonesia, the Alor Islands are among the lesser known, but far from the least interesting. For the modern tourist they are primarily known as an excel- lent diving resort, that attracts a modest but devoted group of Westerners each year. For art historians their fame rests on the moko, the hourglass-shaped bronze drums that were once found all over the islands. Students of anthropology may know Alor via the well-known monograph of Cora Du Bois, The People of Alor (1944). Linguists find the plethora of local languages, at least fifteen in number, intriguing, the more so since speakers of Austronesian and Papuan languages meet here. And avid readers of tropical travel literature may have en- countered the islands as the supposed abode of ferocious cannibals and headhunters. To put it briefly, the Alor Islands are situated in the Nusa Tenggara Timur province of eastern Indonesia, north of Timor and east of Flores and the Solor Islands. They consist of two larger islands, Alor and Pantar, and some smaller ones. The mountainous islands cover an area which is about half of Bali’s, with a mixed population of Christians and Muslims. As is the case with much of Indonesia’s history outside Java, the past of this little archipelago is fragmentarily known up to the nineteenth century. Knowledge of the written word was utterly limited until modern times, and scholars have to piece Alorese history together from indigenous oral tradition, accounts by foreigners, and linguistic and archaeological data.
