  • Parapterois Heterurus (Bleeker, 1856) Parascorpaena Mcadamsi (Fowler
    click for previous page 2326 Bony Fishes Parapterois heterurus (Bleeker, 1856) En - Blackfooted firefish. Maximum standard length 25 cm. Occasionally appears in trawls over soft bottoms at depths of 40 to 300 m. Too infrequently taken to be of importance to fisheries, but can force trawl fishermen to handle their catch with greater caution. Reported within the area at Amboina; more commonly taken in southern Japan and Taiwan Province of China and is also known from South Africa. (from Matsubara, 1943) Parascorpaena mcadamsi (Fowler, 1938) En - Ocellated scorpionfish. Maximum standard length 6 cm. A small relatively uncommon, reef-dwelling or shallow rocky-bot- tom inhabiting species of minor commercial value, but occasionally seen in subsistence fisheries. Found from near shore in lagoons to outer reef slopes to depths of 37 m. Widely ranging, like other species of Parascorpaena, and known from South Africa to the southern Philippines (at Jolo), to Taiwan Province of China and Queensland, Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands, Chesterfield Islands, New Caledonia, and Rapa. Scorpaena moultoni is a probable junior synonym. (from Fowler, 1938) Scorpaeniformes: Scorpaenidae 2327 Parascorpaena mossambica (Peters, 1855) En - Mozambique scorpionfish. Maximum standard length 10 cm. Occupies inshore rocky areas and can be abundant. Although this species makes its way into local markets and is consumed as food, no significant fisheries exists for it, due to its small size. Widely distributed, occurring from South Africa and the Red Sea to the Ryukyu and Palau Islands and eastward to the Society Islands. (from Matsubara, 1943) Parascorpaena picta (Kuhl and Van Hasselt in Cuvier 1829) En - Painted scorpionfish.

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.

  • Venom Evolution Widespread in Fishes: a Phylogenetic Road Map for the Bioprospecting of Piscine Venoms

Advance Access publication June 1, 2006 Venom Evolution Widespread in Fishes: A Phylogenetic Road Map for the Bioprospecting of Piscine Venoms WILLIAM LEO SMITH AND WARD C. WHEELER From the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Environmental Biology, Columbia University, 1200 Amsterdam Avenue, New York, NY 10027 (Leo Smith); Division of Vertebrate Zoology (Ichthyology), American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West at 79th Street, New York, NY 10024-5192 (Leo Smith); and Division of Invertebrate Zoology, American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West at 79th Street, New York, NY 10024-5192 (Wheeler). Address correspondence to W. L. Smith at the address above, or e-mail: [email protected]. Abstract Knowledge of evolutionary relationships or phylogeny allows for effective predictions about the unstudied characteristics of species. These include the presence and biological activity of an organism’s venoms. To date, most venom bioprospecting has focused on snakes, resulting in six stroke and cancer treatment drugs that are nearing U.S. Food and Drug Administration review. Fishes, however, with thousands of venoms, represent an untapped resource of natural products. The first step in- volved in the efficient bioprospecting of these compounds is a phylogeny of venomous fishes. Here, we show the results of such an analysis and provide the first explicit suborder-level phylogeny for spiny-rayed fishes. The results, based on ;1.1 million aligned base pairs, suggest that, in contrast to previous estimates of 200 venomous fishes, .1,200 fishes in 12 clades should be presumed venomous.

Acta Aquatica Turcica, 17(1), 72- 77. https://doi.org/10.22392/actaquatr.755915 Abstract The distributions and length-weight relationships of three cardinalfishes, namely Broadbanded cardinalfish Ostorhinchus fasciatus (White, 1790), Spotfin cardinalfish Jaydia queketti (Gilchrist, 1903), and Smith's cardinalfish Jaydia smithi Kotthaus, 1970 caught as discards in bottom trawl fisheries in the Northeastern Mediterranean (Gulf of Antalya and Finike Bay) were investigated. A total of 607 specimens were sampled with 108 trawl hauls carried out in 3 stations at a depth of 20- 200 m seasonally. Ostorhinchus fasciatus was the most abundant species with 552 specimens, contributing 90.9% of the total sampling. Total amounts of Jaydia smithi and Jaydia queketti species had fewer sample numbers like 31 (5.1%) and 24 (4%), respectively. All three species were sampled the most in the summer season. The length-weight relationships were significant (p > 0.001), with values of r2 ranging from 0.90 to 0.94.

Doğdu1, Serpil Karan1 1Molecular Ecology and Fisheries Genetics Laboratory, Marine Science Department, Faculty of Marine Science and Technology, Iskenderun Technical University, 31220 Iskenderun, Hatay, Turkey 2Fisheries Faculty, Firat University, 23119 Elazig, Turkey Abstract A checklist of non-indigenous marine fishes including bony, cartilaginous and jawless distributed along the Turkish Marine Waters was for the first time generated in the present study. The number of records of non-indigenous fish species found in Turkish marine waters were 101 of which 89 bony, 11 cartilaginous and 1 jawless. In terms of occurrence of non-indigenous fish species in the surrounding Turkish marine waters, the Mediterranean coast has the highest diversity (92 species), followed by the Aegean Sea (50 species), the Marmara Sea (11 species) and the Black Sea (2 species). The Indo-Pacific origin of the non-indigenous fish species is represented with 73 species while the Atlantic origin of the non-indigenous species is represented with 22 species. Only first occurrence of a species in the Mediterranean, Aegean, Marmara and Black Sea Coasts of Turkey is given with its literature in the list. Keywords: Checklist, non-indigenous fishes, Turkish Marien Waters Article history: Received 14 August 2018, Accepted 08 October 2018, Available online 10 October 2018 Introduction Fishes are the most primitive members of the subphylum Craniata, constituting more than half of the living vertebrate species. There is a relatively rich biota in the Mediterranean Sea although it covers less than 1% of the global ocean surface.

A total of 1656 fish species under two classes, 40 orders, 191 families and 683 geranra reported from marine and estuarine waters of Tamil Nadu. In the checklist, 1075 fish species were primary marine water and remaining 581 species were diadromus. In total, 128 species were reported under class Elasmobranchii (11 orders, 36 families and 70 genera) and 1528 species under class Actinopterygii (29 orders, 155 families and 613 genera). The top five order with diverse species composition were Perciformes (932 species; 56.29% of the total fauna), Tetraodontiformes (99 species), Pleuronectiforms (77 species), Clupeiformes (72 species) and Scorpaeniformes (69 species). At the family level, the Gobiidae has the greatest number of species (86 species), followed by the Carangidae (65 species), Labridae (64 species) and Serranidae (63 species). Fishery status assessment revealed existence of 1029 species worth for capture fishery, 425 species worth for aquarium fishery, 84 species worth for culture fishery, 242 species worth for sport fishery and 60 species worth for bait fishery.
