    Jarvis Island NWR Final

    Jarvis Island National Wildlife Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT Jarvis Island National Wildlife Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan Unincorporated U.S. Territory, Central Pacific Ocean The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has completed the Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP) and Environmental Assessment (EA) for Jarvis Island National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge). The CCP will guide management of the Refuge for the next 15 years. The CCP and EA describe the Service’s preferred alternative for managing the Refuge and its effects on the human environment. Decision Following comprehensive review and analysis, the Service selected Alternative B in the draft EA for implementation because it is the alternative that best meets the following criteria: Achieves the mission of the National Wildlife Refuge System. Achieves the purposes of the Refuge. Will be able to achieve the vision and goals for the Refuge. Maintains and restores the ecological integrity of the habitats and plant and animal populations at the Refuge. Addresses the important issues identified during the scoping process. Addresses the legal mandates of the Service and the Refuge. Is consistent with the scientific principles of sound wildlife management. Can be implemented within the projected fiscal and logistical management constraints associated with the Refuge’s remote location. As described in detail in the CCP and EA, implementing the selected alternative will have no significant impacts on any of the natural or cultural resources identified in the CCP and EA. Public Review The planning process incorporated a variety of public involvement techniques in developing and reviewing the CCP. This included three planning updates, meetings with partners, and public review and comment on the planning documents.

W. Goethe- Universitiit Theodor-Stern-Kai 7, Haus 74-III, D-6000 Frankfurt/Main, F.R.G. Tel. 49-69-6901-1 Received February 13, 1987; Accepted May 11, 1987 Abstract Cleaning symbiosis between Labroides dimidiatus and other saltwater fish is not dependent only on visual-tactile stimuli, since the cleaning motivation of the wrasse is strongly influenced by endogenous factors. The application of various neurohormones (neurotransmitters: 5-HT (5-HTP; PCPA), noradrenalin, L• Dopa; tissue hormone: VIP) as well as the opiate-antagonist naloxone, resulted in a change of the actual cleaning time, which possibly indicates the influence of many other interacting hormones of the fish's endocrine system.

Introduction Cleaning symbiosis has been reported for many species, however, with- out considering the moods ( cleaning motivation) of the partners involved. Up until now, more than 40 species of fish have been described to be ac• tive in cleaning, where either juvenile, or juvenile and adult animals of one species (obligatory cleaners) inspect strange fish (Brockmann and Hailman, 1976; Matthes, 1978). While interspecific relations among freshwater fish are hardly known (Abel, 1971), several marine teleosts demonstrate a highly rit• ualized behavioural program with special sign stimuli, and, as far as tropical species are concerned, are found at characteristic points of the reef ( cleaning 260 R.

    Larvae of the Moorish Idol, Zanclus Cornutus, Including a Comparison with Other Larval Acanthuroids

    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE. 40(3): 494-511. 1987 CORAL REEF PAPER LARVAE OF THE MOORISH IDOL, ZANCLUS CORNUTUS, INCLUDING A COMPARISON WITH OTHER LARVAL ACANTHUROIDS G. David Johnson and Betsy B. Washington ABSTRACT The larvae of Zane/us carnutus are described and illustrated based on one postflexion and several preflexion specimens. In addition to general morphology and pigmentation, bony ornamentation ofthe head bones and other osteological features are described in detail. Head bones and the associated ornamentation are illustrated for larval Zane/us, Siganus. Luvarus and Nasa. These and other aspects of the morphology of larval acanthuroids are compared and discussed within the context of a phylogenetic hypothesis proposed in other current work. Larval characters corroborate the monophyly of the Acanthuroidei and the phyletic sequence, Siganidae, Luvaridae, Zanc1idae, Acanthuridae. The Acanthuridae is represented by three distinct larval forms. The moorish idol, Zane/us cornutus (Linnaeus), Family Zanclidae, occurs in tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific and eastern Pacific. Like the closely related Acanthuridae, adult Zane/us are reef-associated fishes, but the young are spe- cialized for a relatively prolonged pelagic existence. The specialized pelagic pre- juvenile is termed the "acronurus" stage, and, at least in acanthurids, may reach a length of 60 mm or more before settling (Leis and Rennis, 1983). Strasburg (1962) briefly described 13.4 and 16.0-mm SL specimens ofthe monotypic Zan- e/us and illustrated the larger specimens. Eggs, preflexion larvae and small post- flexion larvae of Zane/us have not been described (Leis and Richards, 1984). The primary purposes of this paper are to describe a 9.S-mm SL postflexion larva of Zane/us and to compare its morphology to that of postflexion larvae of other acanthuroids in a phylogenetic context.

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).

    APPENDIX 1 Classified list of fishes mentioned in the text, with scientific and common names. ___________________________________________________________ Scientific names and classification are from Nelson (1994). Families are listed in the same order as in Nelson (1994), with species names following in alphabetical order. The common names of British fishes mostly follow Wheeler (1978). Common names of foreign fishes are taken from Froese & Pauly (2002). Species in square brackets are referred to in the text but are not found in British waters. Fishes restricted to fresh water are shown in bold type. Fishes ranging from fresh water through brackish water to the sea are underlined; this category includes diadromous fishes that regularly migrate between marine and freshwater environments, spawning either in the sea (catadromous fishes) or in fresh water (anadromous fishes). Not indicated are marine or freshwater fishes that occasionally venture into brackish water.

DITA CAHYANI Indonesia Biodiversity Research Centre, Udayana University, Denpasar 80226, Indonesia E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A new species of ptereleotrine dartfish,Navigobius vittatus, is described from marine waters of Brunei Darussalam, on the island of Borneo, based on 25 specimens, 14.8–23.0 mm SL. It is distinguished from Navigobius dewa of Japan, the only other described member of the genus, by a combination of features that include a smaller maximum size, first dorsal fin taller than second dorsal fin and containing filamentous rays, 11–13 segmented dorsal rays, 10–12 segmented anal rays, 53–58 scales in longitudinal series, and pronounced color differences. Key words: taxonomy, ichthyology, sand rubble reef fishes, Indo-Pacific, western Pacific Ocean, Microdesmidae, DNA barcoding. 12 Introduction The dartfishes of Ptereleotrinae are common inhabitants of tropical seas. The taxonomic status of this group is uncertain. Several different classifications have considered Ptereleotrinae and Microdesminae to be either distinct families or subfamilies (see Agorreta et al. 2013, Table I for an overview), and recent practice has been to consider the Ptereleotrinae as part of the family Microdesmidae (e.g. Eschmeyer & Fricke 2015).
