    Pacific Plate Biogeography, with Special Reference to Shorefishes VICTOR G. SPRINGER m SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 367 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoo/ogy Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world cf science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

  • True Eels Or Freshwater Eels - Anguillidae
    ISSN 0859-290X, Vol. 5, No. 1 – September 1999 [Supplement No. 6] Even if the eels, in the perception of most people, constitute a readily recognizable group of elongated and snakelike fish, the eels do not constitute a taxonomic group. There is considerable confusion related to eels. See the following system used in "Fishes of the Cambodian Mekong" by Walther Rainboth (1996). In the Mekong, two orders (Anguilliformes and Synbranchiformes) including five eel-Iike fish families are represented: The true eels (Anguillidae), the worm eels (Ophichthidae), the dwarf swamp eels (Chaudhuriidae), the swamp eels (Synbranchidae), and the spiny eels (Mastacembelidae). Of these, the swamp eels and spiny eels are by far the most important in the fisheries. True eels or Freshwater eels - Anguillidae The name "freshwater eels", is not a good name to describe the habits of the species in this family. All the anguillid species are catadromous (a catadromous fish is bom in the sea, but lives most of its life in fresh water). The sexually mature fish migrate down to the sea to spawn, and the juveniles ("the elvers") move, sometimes for a considerable distance, up the river to find their nursery areas. The true eels, contrary to most of the other Mekong eels, have two gill openings, which are high on each side of the fish. The body is covered with small scales that are deeply embedded in the skin. Pelvic fins are absent, while pectoral fins are well developed. The long dorsal and anal fins are continuous with the caudal fin, and the fins are not preceded by any spines.

  • Snake Eels (Ophichthidae) of the Remote St. Peter and St. Paul's Archipelago (Equatorial Atlantic): Museum Records After 37 Ye
    Arquipelago - Life and Marine Sciences ISSN: 0873-4704 Snake eels (Ophichthidae) of the remote St. Peter and St. Paul’s Archipelago (Equatorial Atlantic): Museum records after 37 years of shelf life OSMAR J. LUIZ AND JOHN E. MCCOSKER Luiz, O.J. and J.E. McCosker 2018. Snake eels (Ophichthidae) of the remote St. Peter and St. Paul’s Archipelago (Equatorial Atlantic): Museum records after 37 years of shelf life. Arquipelago. Life and Marine Sciences 36: 9 - 13. Despite of its major zoogeographical interest, the biological diversity of central Atlantic oceanic islands are still poorly known because of its remoteness. Incomplete species inventories are a hindrance to macroecology and conservation because knowledge on species distribution are important for identifying patterns and processes in biodiversity and for conservation planning. Records of the snake-eel family Ophichthidae for the St. Peter and St. Paul’s Archipelago, Brazil, are presented for the first time after revision of material collected and deposited in a museum collection 37 yrs ago. Specimens of Apterichtus kendalli and Herpetoichthys regius were collected using rotenone on sand bottoms and one Myrichthys sp. was observed and photographed swimming over a rocky reef. Remarkably, these species were not seen or collected in the St. Peter and St. Paul’s Archipelago ever since despite the substantial increase of biological expeditions over the past two decades, suggesting that the unjustified rotenone sampling prohibition in Brazil is hindering advancement of the nation’s biological diversity knowledge. Key words: Central Atlantic islands, Anguilliformes, sampling bias, rotenone prohibition. Osmar J.
