II ACKNOWLEDGMENTS – ZAHVALA “Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.” William Arthur Ward Hvala mojim mentorima prof. dr.sc. Stewartu Schultzu i izv. prof. dr.sc. Claudiji Kruschel što su mi pružili priliku za rad i učenje te mi otvorili vrata znanosti! Thank you guys for believing in me! Special thanks to you, Claudia, for all your help, guidance, all the brainstorming coffees, and your enthusiasm that many times got me back on track! Zahvaljujem članicama Povjerenstva za ocjenu rada, izv. prof. dr. sc. Mireli Petrić, doc. dr.sc. Zvjezdani Popović Perkovići i doc. dr.sc. Antoneli Paladin, na pregledu rada i konstruktivnim savjetima kojima su doprinijele da rad bude čim bolji. Hvala mojim kolegicama i kolegama s Odjela za ekologiju, agronomiju i akvakulturu, ponekad je i samo razgovor s nekim tko razumije kroz što prolazim bio dovoljan da podigne raspoloženje Posebno se zahvaljujem prijateljima i bivšim i sadašnjim kolegicama i kolegama iz Društva istraživača mora – 20000 milja na pomoći oko terenskog rada i dobroj amosferi na terenima. Nadam se i vjerujem da ćemo zajedno učini korak naprijed u istraživanju i očuvanju naše „plave točke u beskraju“. Hvala mojim prijateljicama Sanji, Taidi, Biljani i svima koji su jako dugo pratili ovaj moj zapetljani put do doktorata. Hvala vam cure za sve kave, večere, “ruganja”, ventiliranja i smijanja do suza i što ste me vrlo rijetko pitale: “Kako ide doktorat?” Hvala mojoj Meliti za SVE. Trebale bi mi tri stranice da opišem trenutke za koje sam ti zahvalna, ali mislim da ćemo se jednog dana osvrnuti na sve ovo i biti ponosne do neba. Hvala ti za zdrav razum koji si mi donekle uspjela sačuvati, za svaki prijateljski, roditeljski, biološki i ljudski savjet, hvala što me slušaš kad trabunjam i što me jednostavno razumiješ. Da mi je ovo putovanje donijelo samo tebe u život, bilo bi dovoljno. Hvala Hrvoju Od Ždrelca 2007. do nekih budućih terena na koje ćemo, nadam se uskoro otići, bez tebe ne bi bilo zarona niti rezultata. Hvala ti moj ronilački i životni „buddy“ na pomoći, na znanju i iskustvu, na smirenosti i optimizmu. Ovo je naš zajednički rad! Hvala Ruži i Darku, velika je sreća naići na toliko podrške i pomoći, bez pitanja i uvjetovanja. Na posljetku, ali zapravo prije svega, beskrajno hvala mojim roditeljima. Mama i tata, hvala vam za sve, za ljubav, za podršku, za strpljenje i razumijevanje, a posebno što uvijek vjerujete u mene, čak i kada ja ne vjerujem. Hvala za svu pomoć, sve ručkove i čuvanja pilića, dovoženja i odvoženja. Vi ste moja najpouzdanija logistika, bez vas ne bi bilo ovog doktorata. Volim vas! Mojim najvećim uspjesima, Teu i Lu, želim samo reći: vaša ljubav, svaki zagrljaj, poljubac, iskren dječji osmijeh i svaki trenutak s vama su mi sve na svijetu; nema za mene većeg uspjeha od vas i zato sam najponosnija osoba na svijetu!

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.

One of the most poorly studied taxa of fishes in the Mediterranean Sea is clingfish. In this paper we examine the habitat preferences of three clingfish species (Lepadogaster lepadogaster, L. candolii, and Apletodon incognitus) occurring in the Gulf of Trieste (Northern Adriatic). The results show that all three species have a cryptic lifestyle and are well- segregated based on their depth distribution and macro- and microhabitat preferences. L. lepadogaster inhabits shallow waters of the lower mediolittoral and upper infralittoral, where it occurs on rocky bottoms under stones. L. candolii similarly occurs in the rocky infralittoral under stones, but below the Citation: Trkov, D.; Ivajnšiˇc,D.; lower distribution limit of L. lepadogaster, and in seagrass meadows, where it occupies empty seashells.

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.

The species is small, apparently not exceeding 20 mm total length; it is characterized by having 5 dorsal-fin rays, 4-5 anal-fin rays, 25-27 pectoral-fin rays, head width in males 2.6-4.7 in SL, anus in males with urogenital papilla present but not pronounced; snout long, broad, anteriorly truncate in male, narrower and rather pointed in female; preorbital length 1.8-3.8 in head length; conspicuous maxillary barbel absent in both sexes; disc with 10-12 rows of papillae in region A, 5 rows of papillae in region B, and 5-7 rows of papillae in region C. The new species is compared with the other species of the genus; a key to the males of the 6 known species of the eastern Atlantic genus Apletodon is presented.

AlmadaA AEco-Ethology Research Unit, ISPA, R. Jardim do Tabaco 34, 1149-041 Lisboa, Portugal. BArrábida Nature Park – ICN, Praça da República, 2900 Setúbal, Portugal. Abstract Few studies have dealt with biodiversity, composition and dynamics of temperate reef fish. The present study area is a 25 km stretch of coastline (53 km2) on the west Portuguese coast that has recently been assigned as a Marine Park (Marine Park of the Arrábida Nature Park), for which basic information on composition of the marine communities is very scarce. From a biogeographical perspective, mainland Portugal is in a transitional zone where many species of cold- and warm-water fish reach their southern and northern limits of distribution respectively. This situation contributes strongly to a high level of biodiversity in the Lusitanian province, and also makes it very sensitive to climatic oscillations such as those predicted as part of global warming. This study analysed the fish community composition in the marine park and ascribed a hierarchical importance for the coastal sectors and the different habitats present. The results reflect the heterogeneous nature of the substrata present and their significant differences in biodiversity values and in the occurrence of rare species.

  • Cryptic Diversity and Venom Glands in Western Atlantic Clingfishes of the Genus Acyrtus (Teleostei: Gobiesocidae)
    Cryptic Diversity and Venom Glands in Western Atlantic Clingfishes of the Genus Acyrtus (Teleostei: Gobiesocidae) Kevin W. Conway1*, Carole Baldwin2, Macaulay D. White3¤ 1 Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences and Biodiversity Research and Teaching Collections, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, United States of America, 2 Department of Vertebrate Zoology, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington D. C., United States of America, 3 Undergraduate Degree Program, Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, United States of America Abstract Examination of genetic data (mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I) for western Atlantic clingfishes revealed two distinct lineages within a group of individuals originally identified as Acyrtus artius. Subsequent investigation of preserved voucher specimens was conducted to reconcile the genetic data and the existing classification, which is based on morphology. In addition to discovering that one of the genetic lineages is an undescribed species, which we describe as Acyrtus lanthanum, new species, we found that the nominal species Acyrtus artius has a putative venom gland associated with the subopercle that has been overlooked since the species was described nearly 60 years ago. The new species lacks the subopercular gland as does Acyrtus rubiginosus, but one is present in the related Arcos nudus. Venom glands have not been reported previously for the Gobiesocidae, and the venom gland described herein for Acyrtus and Arcos represents the first example in teleost fishes of a venom gland associated with the subopercle.
