When we were given the opportunity to conduct The baseline study for Thane creek” we felt blessed to learn more about this unique ecosystem the largest creek from asia. This study was possible due to Mr. N Vasudevan, IFS, CCF, Mangrove cell, Maharashtra whose vision for the mangrove habitats in Maharashtra has furthered the cause of conservation. Hence, we thank him for giving us this opportunity to be a part of his larger goal. The present study involved interactions with a number of research institutions, educational institutions, NGO’s and community, all of whom were cooperative in sharing information and helped us. Most important was the cooperation of librarians from all the institutions who went out of their way in our literature survey. -

The South China Sea is a major water body containing a large and diverse fish fauna. However, many areas of the South China Sea, particularly in Malaysia and Vietnam, have been poorly studied in terms of fish taxonomy and diversity. Local fish scientists and students have frequently faced difficulty when try- ing to identify fishes in their home countries. During the International Training Program of the Japan Society for Promotion of Science (ITP of JSPS), two graduate students of Kagoshima University, Mr. -

All rights reserved A ‘Gempylids’ (snake mackerels) and trichiurids (cutlassfishes) are pelagic fishes characterised by slender to eel-like bodies, deep-sea predatory ecologies, and large fang-like teeth. Several hypotheses of relationships between these groups have been proposed, but a consensus remains elusive. Fossils attributed to ‘gempylids’ and trichiurids consist almost exclusively of highly compressed body fossils and isolated teeth and otoliths. We use micro-computed tomography to redescribe two three- dimensional crania, historically assigned to †Eutrichiurides winkleri and †Progempylus edwardsi, as well as an isolated braincase (NHMUK PV OR 41318). -

The Divergent Genomes of Teleosts

All rights reserved RAVI ■ VENKATESH DIVERGENT GENOMES OF TELEOSTS THE DIVERGENT GENOMES OF TELEOSTS Vydianathan Ravi and Byrappa Venkatesh Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology, A*STAR (Agency for Science, Technology and Research), Biopolis, Singapore 138673, Singapore; email: [email protected], [email protected] ■ Abstract Boasting nearly 30,000 species, teleosts account for half of all living vertebrates and approximately 98% of all ray-finned fish species (Actinopterygii). Teleosts are also the largest and most diverse group of vertebrates, exhibiting an astonishing level of morphological, physiological, and behavioral diversity. Previous studies had indicated that the teleost lineage has experienced an additional whole-genome duplication event. Recent comparative genomic analyses of teleosts and other bony vertebrates using spotted gar (a nonteleost ray-finned fish) and elephant shark (a cartilaginous fish) as outgroups have revealed several divergent features of teleost genomes. These include an accelerated evolutionary rate of protein-coding and nucleotide sequences, a higher rate of intron turnover, and loss of many potential cis-regulatory elements and shorter conserved syntenic blocks. A combination of these divergent genomic features might have contributed to the evolution of the amazing phenotypic diversity and morphological innovations of teleosts. Keywords whole-genome duplication, evolutionary rate, intron turnover, conserved noncoding elements, conserved syntenic blocks, phenotypic diversity INTRODUCTION With over 68,000 known species (IUCN 2017; http://www.iucnredlist.org), vertebrates are the most dominant and successful group of animals on earth, inhabiting both terrestrial and aquatic habitats. -

Using DNA Barcodes to Aid the Identification of Larval Fishes in Tropical Estuarine Waters (Malacca Straits, Malaysia)

E-mail: [email protected] Received 3 April 2019 / Accepted 18 August 2019 / Published 18 October 2019 Communicated by Benny K.K. Chan Larval descriptions of tropical marine and coastal fishes are very few, and this taxonomic problem is further exacerbated by the high diversity of fish species in these waters. Nonetheless, accurate larval identification in ecological and early life history studies of larval fishes is crucial for fishery management and habitat protection. The present study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of DNA barcodes to support larval fish identification since conventional dichotomous keys based on morphological traits are not efficient due to the lack of larval traits and the rapid morphological changes during ontogeny. Our molecular analysis uncovered a total of 48 taxa (21 families) from the larval samples collected from the Klang Strait waters encompassing both spawning and nursery grounds of marine and estuarine fishes.
