Such a diversity account of life often results in interesting discoveries and satisfaction not only to the hobbyists and collectors but also to the researchers especially when new records and new species are of an utmost finding. However, the lack of local taxonomic information on the diversity of life on major Malaysian tropical ecosystems such as mangrove, seagrass and coral reef have to certain extent hampered the flow of educational interests and overall academic dissemination of diversity knowledge to interested parties. Recently Malaysian and Japanese scientists studied on fish diversity of the western side of Johor Strait particularly the areas surrounding the Merambong Shoal and Pulai River estuary through Japan Society for the Promotion of Science Asian Core Program and Ministry of Education Malaysia Program. Merambong Shoal with an estimated size of 26.3 hectares is a vastly inundated seagrass bed fringed on the landward side by the mangrove vegetations. The study area is a natural feeding, breeding and nursery grounds for many fish species due to the nature of its productivity and ample natural hideouts for the new recruits. The study signifies a close collaborative effort between ichthyologists from Japan and Malaysia within the scope of this diversified research program. The publication of this fish guidebook entitled ‘Fishes of the Northwestern Johor Strait, Peninsular Malaysia’ indeed is very timely as it would contribute towards better understanding on the dynamic aspects of the fishery resources particularly on its diversity. The study area has recently been experiencing some forms of physical developments that may cause negative impacts to the fish communities. A total of 149 species of fishes related to seagrass beds and mangroves were recorded during one and half years of sampling effort. This guidebook would be a good reference for public, students and researchers whose interest lies on the fish diversity and it is presented in the format of pictorial images and descriptive accounts of each of the listed species. I would like to give a credit again to UPM press for taking the initiative and concerted effort to realize the publication of this book. I would also like to congratulate all editors from Mie University, Hokkaido University, UPM and UMT, and other authors and photographers for their respective contributions and may this delighted effort be the impetus for incoming publications on the Malaysian fish species of the environmentally sensitive habitats.

The market was surveyed from April 2013 to March Dry Fish Market 2014. The study area was purposively selected and the trading system was analyzed. The market operates actively once in a week. Survey question schedule was made for the collection of data. Several species of coastal and marine dried fish like patia, lahara, vola, chanda, ruli etc were commonly available in the market. Different types of businessmen are involved in the trading system like fish processor, Beparis, Aratdars, Wholesalers, and Retailers etc. The survey revealed that the trading system till now is seasonal and the activity remains maximum in the October to January season. The price of dried marine fish varies with the size, availability, quality of the fish species. Transport, labor and electricity also play significant role in selling price determination.

    i. Mar. biol Ass. tndia, 1968, 10 (1): 126-1^2 ON SOME INTERESTING AND NEW RECORDS OF MARINE FISHES FROM INDIA* By V. SRIRAMACHANDRA MURTY Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Mandapam Camp WHILE examining the fish landings by shore seines and trawl nets at various fishing centres along the Palk Bay and Gulf of Mannar in the vicinity of Mandapam the author came across several specimens of Drepane longimana (Bloch and Schneider) which is little known and Drepane punctata (Linnaeus) which was recognised as the only valid species of the genus Drepane, A study of these specimens has shown that these two species are distinct as shown by some authors (vide Text). A brief com­ parative account of these two species is given in this paper, along with a few remarks and key to distinguish the two species. The author has also been able to collect specimens of Platycephalus isacanthus Cuvier from the above catches, and a single specimen of Stethojulis interrupta (Bleeker) from the inshore waters of Gulf of Mannar caught in dragnet, whose occurrence, in Indian seas, is so far not known. Brief descriptions of these two species are also given in this paper. Family; DREPANIDAE Drepane longimana (Bloch and Schneider) This species was first described by its authors from Tranquebar. Cuvier and Valenciennes (1831) studied the specimens of the genus Drepane, both morphologi­ cally and anatomically and distinguished the two species D. longimana (Bloch and Schneider) and D. punctata (Linnaeus). Cantor (1850) also recognised the two species as valid. But subsequently Gunther (1860), Bleeker (1877) and Day (1878) recognised D.

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). Approximately 2,460 species or 60 percent of the entire reef fish The Bird’s Head Peninsula and surrounding fauna of the Indo-West Pacific inhabits this waters has attracted the attention of naturalists and region, which is commonly referred to as the scientists ever since it was first visited by Coral Triangle (CT).

Bellwood IUCN RESILIENCE SCIENCE GROUP WORKING PAPER SERIES - NO 7 IUCN Global Marine Programme Founded in 1958, IUCN (the International Union for the Conservation of Nature) brings together states, government agencies and a diverse range of non-governmental organizations in a unique world partnership: over 100 members in all, spread across some 140 countries. As a Union, IUCN seeks to influence, encourage and assist societies throughout the world to conserve the integrity and diversity of nature and to ensure that any use of natural resources is equitable and ecologically sustainable. The IUCN Global Marine Programme provides vital linkages for the Union and its members to all the IUCN activities that deal with marine issues, including projects and initiatives of the Regional offices and the six IUCN Commissions. The IUCN Global Marine Programme works on issues such as integrated coastal and marine management, fisheries, marine protected areas, large marine ecosystems, coral reefs, marine invasives and protection of high and deep seas. The Nature Conservancy The mission of The Nature Conservancy is to preserve the plants, animals and natural communities that represent the diversity of life on Earth by protecting the lands and waters they need to survive. The Conservancy launched the Global Marine Initiative in 2002 to protect and restore the most resilient examples of ocean and coastal ecosystems in ways that benefit marine life, local communities and economies.
