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.

Abstract: This study investigated the large-scale spatial and temporal variability of larval fish assemblages in the west tropical Atlantic Ocean. The sampling was performed during four expeditions. Identification resulted in 100 taxa (64 families, 19 orders and 17 suborders). During the four periods, 80% of the total larvae taken represented eight characteristics families (Scombridae, Carangidae, Paralepididae, Bothidae, Gonostomatidae, Scaridae, Gobiidae and Myctophidae). Fish larvae showed a rather heterogeneous distribution with density at each station ranging from 0.5 to 2000 larvae per 100m3. A general trend was observed, lower densities at oceanic area and higher densities in the seamounts and islands. A gradient in temperature, salinity, phytoplankton biomass, zooplankton biomass and station depth was strongly correlated with changes in ichthyoplankton structure. Myctophidae, and Paralepididae presented increased abundance at high salinities and temperatures.

SCHORR, Cascadia Research Collective, 218 1=2 W. 4th Avenue, Olympia, Washington 98501, U.S.A. Knowledge of the diet and diving behavior of a species is crucial for understand- ing its behavior and ecology, and also has relevance to assessing the impact of poten- tial changes in behavior or spatial use. Assessing diet for many species of cetaceans is difficult, given that most foraging occurs far below the surface and that stomach contents of stranded animals are rarely available. Very little information on food habits or the diving behavior of melon-headed whales (Peponocephala electra)isavail- able from any region of the world. Although there is a paucity of knowledge on melon-headed whales, more is known about them in Hawaiian waters than anywhere else in the world (Aschettino et al. 2012, Woodworth et al. 2012, Baird 2016). In Hawai‘i, two populations of melon-headed whales are recognized, a Hawaiian Islands population estimated to be close to 5,000 individuals that travels offshore and among the islands, and a smaller, inshore population estimated to be about 450 individuals that is found off Hawai‘i Island and known as the Kohala resident population (Aschettino 2010, Aschettino et al.

  • Survey Report
    Survey Report The second leg of the AKES survey with R/V “G.O. Sars”, 19 February-28 March 2008 AKES-2 Ed.: Webjørn Melle, [email protected] Institute of Marine Research, Bergen, Norway, 27.05.08 1 INTRODUCTION The vessel left Cape Town, South-Africa, 19 February 2008 to survey the southern ocean along two transects, to and from Astridryggen, including finer mapping around Bouvetøya and experimental work on krill (AKES). Samples were collected for MARBANK, GENETICS, FISH PATOGENES and the Brazilian fluoride project (BRAZIL). Bathymetry at Astridryggen was mapped acoustically. The cruise ended 28 March 2008, in Walvis Bay, Namibia. The participants are listed in Table 1.1. AKES (Antarctic Krill and Ecosystem Studies) is IMR‟s project to investigate target strength of krill (Euphausia superba) and mackerel ice fish (Champsocephalus gunnari), and the abundance of pelagic fish and squid in the Bouvetøy area. The main objectives are: to evaluate the links between the krill resources and distribution in the area and Bouvetøya based mammals and birds to study krill biology and ecology to establish TS (Target strength; the ability of an organism to reflect sound) for krill and ice fish to study aggregations of krill, fish and plankton relative to the hydrography to compare aggregations and abundance of krill and plankton relative to hydrography in Antarctica and Nordic Seas stomach contents and feeding behavior of krill and fish The University of Oslo‟s krill project is included in the AKES project. The survey is carried out in close relation with CCAMLR (Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources).

Vigo 19 (Pontevedra), Spain. 20 21 Abstract 22 23 An annotated checklist of the marine fishes from Galician waters is presented. The list 24 is based on historical literature records and new revisions. The ichthyofauna list is 25 composed by 397 species very diversified in 2 superclass, 3 class, 35 orders, 139 1 1 families and 288 genus. The order Perciformes is the most diverse one with 37 families, 2 91 genus and 135 species. Gobiidae (19 species) and Sparidae (19 species) are the 3 richest families. Biogeographically, the Lusitanian group includes 203 species (51.1%), 4 followed by 149 species of the Atlantic (37.5%), then 28 of the Boreal (7.1%), and 17 5 of the African (4.3%) groups. We have recognized 41 new records, and 3 other records 6 have been identified as doubtful.

  • Fish Larvae Retention Linked to Abrupt Bathymetry at Mejillones Bay (Northern Chile) During Coastal Upwelling Events
    Lat. Am. J. Aquat. Res., 42(5): 989-1008,Fish 2014 larvae retention and bottom topography at Mejillones Bay, Chile 989 DOI: 10.3856/vol42-issue5-fulltext-6 Research Article Fish larvae retention linked to abrupt bathymetry at Mejillones Bay (northern Chile) during coastal upwelling events Pablo M. Rojas1 & Mauricio F. Landaeta2 1División de Investigación en Acuicultura, Instituto de Fomento Pesquero P.O. Box 665, Puerto Montt, Chile 2Facultad de Ciencias del Mar y de Recursos Naturales, Universidad de Valparaíso P.O. Box 5080, Reñaca, Viña del Mar, Chile ABSTRACT. The influence of oceanic circulation and bathymetry on the fish larvae retention inside Mejillones Bay, northern Chile, was examined. Fish larvae were collected during two coastal upwelling events in November 1999 and January 2000. An elevated fish larvae accumulation was found near an oceanic front and a zone of low-speed currents. Three groups of fish larvae were identified: the coastal species (Engraulis ringens and Sardinops sagax), associated with high chlorophyll-a levels; larvae from the families Phosichthyidae (Vinciguerria lucetia) and Myctophidae (Diogenichthys laternatus and Triphoturus oculeus), associated with the thermocline (12°C), and finally, larvae of the families Myctophidae (Diogenichthys atlanticus) and Bathylagidae (Bathylagus nigrigenys), associated with high values of temperature and salinity. The presence of a seamount and submarine canyon inside Mejillones Bay appears to play an important role in the circulation during seasonal upwelling events. We propose a conceptual model of circulation and particles retention into Mejillones Bay. The assumption is that during strong upwelling conditions the flows that move along the canyon emerge in the centre of Mejillones Bay, producing a fish larvae retention zone.

  • Woodsia Ilvensis
    Woodsia ilvensis Status Schedule 8, Wildlife & Countryside Act (1981). UK Biodiversity Action Plan Priority species. Red Data Book. IUCN Threat category: Endangered (2005). Taxonomy Pteropsida: Athyriaceae Scientific name: Woodsia ilvensis (L.) R. Br. Common names: Oblong Woodsia, Coredynen Hirgul Woodsia is one of six genera in Britain belonging to the fern family Athyriaceae. It is characterised by having the indusium divided into a fringe of hair-like scales around the base of the sorus (Figure 4). There are 25 Woodsia species world-wide in the temperate and cool temperate zones, of which two occur in Britain, W. ilvensis (Fig. 1) and W. alpina (Fig. 2). Both are found in the mountainous regions of the British Isles grow in similar places but W. alpina is most characteristic of base-rich rock types. Biology & Distribution Figure 1. Woodsia ilvensis Very local in Caernarfonshire, Cumberland, Dumfriesshire and Angus, decreasing and formerly more widespread (Preston et al. 2002). Current populations are probably relicts of a more widespread post-glacial distribution. It suffered serious declines due to collecting in the 19th century. There have been re-introductions in Scotland and Teesdale which were not mapped by Preston et al. (2002). It grows in cracks and fissures in cliffs and crags on rocks ranging from calcareous tuffs and hornblende schists to more acidic tuffs, grits and shales. Sites are very free-draining, with little competition. Reproduction is mostly vegetative. Identification & Field survey The two Woodsia species can be readily separated using the characters given in the table overleaf. In addition, small forms of Cystopteris fragilis (Fig.
