However, no major surveys have been conducted in Western lndonesia since the period covered here (1975-1 981). During that period, a convergence of interest had led to a flurry of bilateral and international fisheries development projects along the Indian Ocean coast of Indonesia, in the Java Sea and adjacent waters, funded by German (GTZ) a, Australian (AIDAB) and Norwegian (NORAD) aid agencies, and by FA0 d. Twenty years ago (May 1975) is also when the two editors of this book first met; we had both just acquired our MS degrees, and were eager to apply what we had learnt. We became friends, despite our vastly different cultural backgrounds, perhaps aided therein by a car accident that occurred at Pemanukan along the coast of West Java, and which could easily have killed us both. Although soon separated, and working in very different institutions, we both felt that the surveys we had jointly worked on, and the surveys done shortly thereafter should have been better documented than through internal reports and theses. One of us used the opportunity provided by a book review to criticize this state of affairse; the other pushed from within the Directorate General of Fisheries (DGF, Jakarta). The result of our joint effort was an official request sent by DGF to GTZ to support the production of a book in which the surveys would be documented and analyzed, and which would complement the excellent volume published jointly by GTZ, DGF and AIDAB documenting the taxonomy of the demersal fishes of Western Indonesiaf. GTZ agreed, and ICLARM was invited to submit a proposal, accepted in 1991, for a project that would lead to the publication of a book that would not only complement the previous volume on the Trawled fishes of Southern lndonesia and Western Australia, but also be made to resemble it. This explains the choice of the format and fonts used here, which differ from those of other items in ICLARM's Studies and Reviews Series. The book is thus the result of a long chain of events.

BAUN Abstract Sardines (Clupeidae) make up a substantial proportion of the fish catch across the Philippines and consequently are the most accessible source of animal protein for millions of Filipinos. Further, this fishery is an economic engine providing thousands of jobs and generating revenue at the individual, municipal, and national levels. Ecologically, sardines are basally positioned in a food web that supports pelagic tuna and mackerel, as well as numerous sea birds and marine mammals. Philippine sardine biodiversity is among the highest in the world and includes the only known freshwater sardine species.
  • Quantitative Species-Level Ecology of Reef Fish Larvae Via Metabarcoding

    Quantitative Species-Level Ecology of Reef Fish Larvae Via Metabarcoding

    ARTICLES https://doi.org/10.1038/s41559-017-0413-2 Quantitative species-level ecology of reef fish larvae via metabarcoding Naama Kimmerling1,2, Omer Zuqert3, Gil Amitai3, Tamara Gurevich2, Rachel Armoza-Zvuloni2,8, Irina Kolesnikov2, Igal Berenshtein1,2, Sarah Melamed3, Shlomit Gilad4, Sima Benjamin4, Asaph Rivlin2, Moti Ohavia2, Claire B. Paris 5, Roi Holzman 2,6*, Moshe Kiflawi 2,7* and Rotem Sorek 3* The larval pool of coral reef fish has a crucial role in the dynamics of adult fish populations. However, large-scale species-level monitoring of species-rich larval pools has been technically impractical. Here, we use high-throughput metabarcoding to study larval ecology in the Gulf of Aqaba, a region that is inhabited by >500 reef fish species. We analysed 9,933 larvae from 383 samples that were stratified over sites, depth and time. Metagenomic DNA extracted from pooled larvae was matched to a mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I barcode database compiled for 77% of known fish species within this region. This yielded species-level reconstruction of the larval community, allowing robust estimation of larval spatio-temporal distribu- tions. We found significant correlations between species abundance in the larval pool and in local adult assemblages, suggest- ing a major role for larval supply in determining local adult densities. We documented larval flux of species whose adults were never documented in the region, suggesting environmental filtering as the reason for the absence of these species. Larvae of several deep-sea fishes were found in shallow waters, supporting their dispersal over shallow bathymetries, potentially allow- ing Lessepsian migration into the Mediterranean Sea.

Impacts of estuary weirs on fish assemblages are particularly distinct because the weirs are disturbed in linking between freshwater and estuarine fish communities, and migration successes for regional fish fauna. This study conducted fish sampling at the lower reaches of the Nakdong River to assess spatio-temporal variations in fish assemblages, and effects of estuary weir on structuring fish assemblage between freshwater and estuary habitats. In total, 20,386 specimens comprising 78 species and 41 families were collected. The numerical dominant fish species were Tachysurus nitidus (48.8% in total abundance), Hemibarbus labeo (10.7%) and Chanodichthys erythropterus (3.6%) in the freshwater region, and Engraulis japonicus (10.0%), Nuchequula nuchalis (7.7%) and Clupea pallasii (5.2%) in the estuarine site.

Zoological Studies 51(8): 1490-1506. This study reports on (1) variations in the number and position of scleral ossicles in 283 actinopterygian species representing 172 families, (2) the distribution of the morphological variants of these bony elements, (3) the phylogenetic significance of these variations, and (4) a phylogenetic hypothesis relevant to the position of the Callionymoidei, Dactylopteridae, and Syngnathoidei based on these osteological variations. The results suggest that the Callionymoidei (not including the Gobiesocidae), Dactylopteridae, and Syngnathoidei are closely related. This conclusion was based on the apomorphic character state of having only the anterior scleral ossicle. Having only the anterior scleral ossicle should have evolved independently in the Syngnathioidei + Dactylopteridae + Callionymoidei, Gobioidei + Apogonidae, and Pleuronectiformes among the actinopterygians studied in this paper. http://zoolstud.sinica.edu.tw/Journals/51.8/1490.pdf Key words: Scleral ossicle, Actinopterygii, Phylogeny.

The daily periodicity of microincrements forrned with the sagittal otoliths of these two spceies has been validated by oxytetracycline marking in previous studies. These validation studies have come from fishes within three regions of the Pacific (eastem, central and western tropical Pacific).

Competition and distribution model predictions vary based on dominance hierarchies, but most assume differences in dominance are constant across habitats. More recent evidence suggests dominance and competitive advantages may vary based on habitat. We quantified dominance interactions between two species of sharks Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos and Carcharhinus melanopterus, across two different habitats, fore reef and back reef, at a remote Pacific atoll. We used Baited Remote Underwater Video (BRUV) to observe dominance behaviors and quantified the number of aggressive interactions or bites to the BRUVs from either species, both separately and in the presence of one another. Blacktip reef sharks were the most abundant species in either habitat, and there was significant negative correlation between their relative abundance, bites on BRUVs, and the number of grey reef sharks. Although this trend was found in both habitats, the decline in blacktip abundance with grey reef shark presence was far more pronounced in fore reef habitats. We show that the presence of one shark species may limit the feeding opportunities of another, but the extent of this relationship is habitat specific. Future competition models should consider habitat-specific dominance or competitive interactions.
