Abstract: Jenynsia tucumana new species is described from the upper Río Salí basin, province of Tucumán, northwestern Argentina. The new species is diagnosed by the possession of a row of dark markings ranging from dots to small vertical stripes from the tip of adpressed pectoral fin to the posterior margin of the hypural. Also, the new species has a mandibular canal pore W and a symmetrical fifth anal-fin ray in adult males; whereas the females lack a urogenital swelling. According to a phylogenetic reanalysis of the genus, the new species is sister to most species of the subgenus Jenynsia, except for J. onca and possibly J. sanctaecatarinae.

Recent Advances in the Origin and Early Radiation of Vertebrates. Arratia, G., Wilson, M. V. H., & Cloutier, R. (eds.). Verlag Dr. Friedrich Pfeil, Mï¿½nchen, Germany.. : 635-663.
Abstract: A new taxon of Percoidei, Indiaichthys bamanborensis n. gen. et sp. and a Percomorpha indet. from the intertrappean beds at Bamanbor, India (Late Cretaceous to early Paleocene age) are described and their systematic positions are discussed. The Indian material is represented by articulated specimens that are some of the most complete Late Cretaceousï¿½Paleocene perciforms recovered until now. Due to its generalized morphological pattern, with some resemblances to certain centropomids (e.g., development of the ascendent and articular processes of the premaxilla, two epurals, and two uroneurals) and its unique combination of features (e.g., partial fusion of distal radials in the most anterior dorsal pterygiophores, dentigerous arm of premaxilla very deep posteriorly, co-occurrence of two epurals and two uroneurals), Indiaichthys cannot be assigned to any of the fossil or extant percoid families and it is left in a family indeterminate. In contrast to Indiaichthys, Percormorpha indet. is known by one incomplete but nevertheless rather informative specimen. According to the available information, it shares with some centropomids the peculiar morphology of the posterior region of the lower jaw. However, due to its incompleteness it cannot be assigned to any percomorph group. Articulated Late Cretaceous-Paleocene perciforms are represented by few specimens that have been recovered in different continents. For instance, the extinct genera Eoserranus and Indiaichthys n. gen. (India), Nardoichthys (Italy), and Saldenioichthys (Argentina) and the extant genus Percichthys (Bolivia). Due to their combination of characters Nardoichthys and Saldenioichthys are interpreted as Perciformes incertae sedis, and Eoserranus and Indiaichthys as Percoidei incertae sedis. The oldest articulated perciform, Nardoichthys, was recovered in sediments of about 71 Ma in age; in contrast, the oldest perciform otoliths are about 85 Ma old and were recovered in Austria. Because there are only a few Late Cretaceous records of otoliths and skeletal remnants of extinct perciforms, it is apparently that many of the extant families arose during the Eocene-Miocene. However, the fossil record is still poor in comparison to the enormous diversification of perciforms today. Even considering the incompleteness of the fossil record, the available information indicates that perciforms underwent a tremendous radiation during the last five millions years.

Abstract: Astyanax tupi n. sp. is described from the streams Cuñapirú Chico and Cuñapirú, draining in Paraná river in the province of Misiones, Argentinean northeast. A combination of characters differentiates the new species from other congeners: long pectoral fin always surpassing the pelvic-fin origin; origin of anal fin at level of a vertical through fifth or sixth branched dorsal-fin rays; one supraopercular and two humeral spots on flanks; 2-3 maxillary teeth; (10.2-11.9 % SL); maxillary length (100.0-136.6 % interorbital width); 35-38 perforated scales in lateral line; 24-27 branched anal fin rays, and deep body (36.9-42.6 % SL).

Abstract: A new species of the tribe Otothyrini is described from the Río Uruguay basin in Misiones, Argentina. Epactionotus aky n.sp. was collected in the streams Fortaleza and Garibaldi; both streams are headwaters of the arroyo Yabotí-Guazú. The new species is diagnosed by the following combination of characters: 1) 21 to 23 lateral plates; 2) light stripes extended from snout tip to supraoccipital level; 3) caudal fin with dark vertical stripes; 4) ventral surface of body completely covered by small platelets; 5) 1-4 feeble serrae on distal portion of pectoral spine posterior margin.

Abstract: Anatolia is regarded as the center of diversication of Aphanius because 6 species and 4 subspecies of 14 Aphanius species described to date occur only in Anatolia. Random amplied polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used to examine genetic relationship among Aphanius species and subspecies in Turkey. The average gene diversity between populations was 0.243 and only 38.78% of this diversity occurred within populations. Genetic variation between populations was in general congruent with the most recent classication of Aphanius based on morphological characteristics and of mitochondrial DNA sequence data. RAPD analysis has been useful in study of phylogenetic relationship of Aphanius species and subspecies from Anatolia.

Abstract: We addressed phylogenetic relationships in the genus Trachurus using cytochrome b gene and D-loop sequences. The trees showed five groups: (1) the Southwest Pacific species (T. japonicus, T. novaezelandiae, and T. declivis); (2) The Mediterranean Sea and Eastern Atlantic species (T. mediterraneus); (3) The Atlantic Ocean species (T. lathami and T. trecae); (4) Eastern Atlantic species (T. trachurus and T. capensis); and (5) a group of highly mobile pelagic species, two from the Eastern Pacific (T. symmetricus and T. murphyi) and one from the Eastern Atlantic (T. picturatus). The phylogeny based on Cyt b, supports the molecular clock hypothesis and our results agree with the reported fossil indicating that the origin of this genus occur when the Thetys Sea closed (around 18.4 MYA). In addition, a very slow neutral substitution rate is reported identified only two periods of maximum diversiWcation: the first occurring between 18.4 and 15.0 MYA and the second between 8.4 MYA and present day.

Abstract: This paper presents the first thoroughly revised list of Danish fishes in more than 30 years. It comprises 246 species, summarizing e.g. the 30 recorded for the first time since 1970 and one that is result of taxonomic revision. The earliest account of Danish freshwater and marine fishes included 139 species (Krøyer 1838-53), the latest dealt with 215 species (Muus 1970). We include all species that with certainty have been recorded from Danish freshwater and in Danish territorial water (Fig. 1) i.e. species present in collections and/or mentioned in scientific publications. Undocumented species and single specimens of species released from aquaria are not included.The 246 species comprised 194 (79%) marine (reproduce in salt water) and 52 (21%) freshwater species (reproduce in freshwater). A total of 143 (58%) species are breeding in Danish waters and of these 136 (95%) are native while 7 (5%) species are introduced, breeding species. The three-spined stickleback, breeding both in salt- and freshwater, is considered a marine species in the statistics.

Abstract: Phylogenetic analyses dealing with disjunct distributions (distributions that require marine dispersal or vicariant events) are reviewed for the Cichlidae. The most corroborated relationship between clades across a Gondwanan disjunction is the sister relationship between Indian and Malagasy cichlids. The minimum age of the Cichlidae as implied by the fossil record is at odds with the timing of the Cretaceous break of the Indian-Madagascar landmass. All well sampled phylogenies for this group fit a pattern reflecting Gondwanan break-up. Grounds for strictly dispersalist hypotheses are not well founded for any cichlid disjunct distribution, leaving vicariance alternatives as the only explanation.

Abstract: A new species of Pareiorhina is described from the Ribeira˜o Grande and adjacent drainages, in the left bank of the Rio Paraı´ba do Sul basin, in Sa˜o Paulo State, southeastern Brazil. Pareiorhina brachyrhyncha is uniquely diagnosed among its congeners by the reduction or absence of azygous plates in front of the nuchal plate. It also differs from its congeners by the presence of a minute lateral cusp in the teeth, wider body, anterior and lateral profile of head rounded, broad distal profile of the paired fins, and lower number of vertebrae. The species is considered to be closely related to the sympatric P. rudolphi, based on the lack of azygous dorsal plates above the caudal peduncle.PDF:

Abstract: Although much progress has been made recently in teleostean phylogeny, relationships among the main lineages of the higher teleosts (Acanthomorpha), containing more than 60% of all fish species, remain poorly defined. This study represents the most extensive taxonomic sampling effort to date to collect new molecular characters for phylogenetic analysis of acanthomorph fishes. We compiled and analyzed three independent data sets, including: (i) mitochondrial ribosomal fragments from 12S and 16s (814 bp for 97 taxa); (ii) nuclear ribosomal 28S sequences (847 bp for 74 taxa); and (iii) a nuclear protein-coding gene, rhodopsin (759 bp for 86 taxa). Detailed analyses were conducted on each data set separately and the principle of taxonomic congruence without consensus trees was used to assess confidence in the results as follows. Repeatability of clades from separate analyses was considered the primary criterion to establish reliability, rather than bootstrap proportions from a single combined (total evidence) data matrix. The new and reliable clades emerging from this study of the acanthomorph radiation were: Gadiformes (cods) with Zeioids (dories); Beloniformes (needlefishes) with Atheriniformes (silversides); blenioids (blennies) with Gobiesocoidei (clingfishes); Channoidei (snakeheads) with Anabantoidei (climbing gouramies); Mastacembeloidei (spiny eels) with Synbranchioidei (swamp-eels); the last two pairs of taxa grouping together, Syngnathoidei (aulostomids, macroramphosids) with Dactylopteridae (flying gurnards); Scombroidei (mackerels) plus Stromatoidei plus Chiasmodontidae; Ammodytidae (sand lances) with Cheimarrhichthyidae (torrentfish); Zoarcoidei (eelpouts) with Cottoidei; Percidae (perches) with Notothenioidei (Antarctic fishes); and a clade grouping Carangidae (jacks), Echeneidae (remoras), Sphyraenidae (barracudas), Menidae (moonfish), Polynemidae (threadfins), Centropomidae (snooks), and Pleuronectiformes (flatfishes).

Abstract: Knowledge of the correct phylogenetic relationships among animals is crucial for the valid interpretation of evolutionary trends in biology. Zebrafish, medaka, pufferfish and cichilds are fish models for development, genomics and comparative genetics studies, although their phylogenetic relationships have not been tested rigorously. The results of phylogenomic analysis based on 20 nuclear protein-coding genes confirmed the basal placement of zebrafish in the fish phylogeny but revealed an unexpected relationship among the other three species, contrary to traditionally held systematic views based on morphology. Our analyses show that medaka (Beloniformes) and cichlids (Perciformes) appear to be more closely related to each other than either of them is to pufferfish (Tetraodontiformes), suggesting that a re-interpretation of some findings in comparative biology might be required. In addition, phylogenomic analyses show that fish typically have more copies of nuclear genes than land vertebrates, supporting the fish-specific genome duplication hypothesis.

Abstract: Several recent molecular studies have begun to clarify the phylogeny of Acanthomorpha (Teleostei), a wide clade of teleost fishes. However, different molecular datasets do not agree on a single history of the taxa, probably because of marker-specific biases. The ‘total-evidence’ approach maximizes character congruence, butmay be biased by a single robust, but non-phylogenetic constraint from one dataset.We have therefore taken the approach to analyse also each dataset separately prior to their combination, and detect repeated groups: signal common to markers is more probably a reflection of shared ancestry than marker-specific signal. Partial sequences (678+527 base pairs) of exons of the MLL gene (Mixed Lineage Leukaemia-like) gene were used, as well as the datasets of Chen et al. (ribosomal 28S, rhodopsin gene, mitochondrial 12S and 16S). Most of the repeated clades of Chen et al. are supported by the new dataset. Some new groups were repeatedly found: a Scarus–Labrus group (clade M), the presence of Gasterosteidae as a sister taxon or within the clade Zoarcoidei–Cottoidei (clade Is), Polymixia as a sister-group to the clade Zeoidei–Gadiformes (clade O), the clade Q grouping Mugiloidei, Cichlidae, Atherinomorpha, Blennioidei and Gobiesocoidei; and the interesting clade N, reducing potential sister-groups to Tetraodontiformes to either Caproidei, Lophiiformes, Acanthuroidei, Drepanidae, Chaetodontidae, and Pomacanthidae.

Abstract: Analysis of the "Dana" collection of larval fishes yielded 36 exterilium larvae and 17 rubaniform larvae. Both of these larval types reach large sizes before transformation and are characterized by an exterilium gut, although it is less strongly expressed in rubaniform larvae. Both have early-forming, elongate, descending processes of the coracoid that serve to support the trailing intestines. Both have a greatly reduced pelvic girdle attached to a stalk-like cartilaginous structure, resulting in a pelvic fin origin well posterior to the cleithral symphysis, a position that is without precedent in the family. Both of these larval types also strongly display an anterior to posterior developmental sequence, lose the pelvic fin rays at transformation, have extraordinarily elongate proximal radials supporting their dorsal and anal fins, and modified proximal radials supporting the anterior dorsal fin rays. After examination of these larvae and reference to five previously described exterilium larvae and one previously described rubaniform larva, we conclude that they belong to Lamprogrammus (3 species) and Brotulotaenia (4 species), respectively. The most recent classification of the Ophidiidae places Brotulotaenia in the monotypic subfamily Brotulotaeniinae, and Lamprogrammus in the subfamily Neobythitinae along with 37 other genera. The latter subfamily is an unwieldy assemblage for which monophyly has never been established. The ontogenetic evidence suggests a closer relationship between Brotulotaenia and Lamprogrammus and the most economical reorganization of the ophidiids would involve moving the latter genus into the Brotulotaeniinae.

Abstract: In Argentina, the Nototheniidae is represented by about 20 species, which mostly live in coastal waters of the continental shelf and slope. A few species inhabit inshore waters along the coasts of Patagonia and the Fueguian and Falkland (Malvinas) archipelagos and even reach rocky intertidal zones (Norman 1937, Hart 1946). Patagonotothen sima (Richardson 1844) is distributed in the Atlantic from the San Matias Gulf (around 42 S) to the Beagle Channel (54 50 S), inhabiting shallow waters including the intertidal zones. During faunal surveys in the rocky intertidal zone in Puerto Deseado, Santa Cruz (by A. Gosztonyi), it was noted that males of P. sima, one of the most common fish species in that habitat, appeared to have a higher second dorsal fin than the females.

Abstract: Abstract: A total of 34 species of gobies (Teleostei, Gobiidae) are known from the Hawaiian Islands, four of which are freshwater species. All species are treated in a key, but only marine species are illustrated and treated in detail. Information on their nomenclature, counts and measurements, distinctive characters, coloration, distribution and habitat is presented. Two new species, Cabillus caudimacula, and Pleurosicya larsonae are described. An unidentified species of Favonigobius from O’ahu, a possible introduction, is discussed.

Abstract: Three species of Apogon have been reported from Easter Island, two of which are here described as new: Apogon kauteamea (formerly A. coccineus), small, translucent red, with VI first-dorsal spines, a free edge of skin near the anterior nasal opening, and two rows of scales between the lateral line and the base of the third dorsal spine; and Apogon rubrifuscus (formerly talboti), distinct in having two predorsal bones and 12 pectoral-fin rays. It is similar to A. deetsie and A. caudicinctus, but has a much larger membranous preopercular flap, lacks any dark bars on the body, and attains larger size (101.5 mm SL).

Abstract: The third species in the genus Allenbatrachus, A. meridionalis, is described from Madagascar and Reunion, the southernmost occurrence of the genus. It differs from the other two described species, A. grunniens and A. reticulatus, by having more anal and dorsal-fin rays, differently shaped orbital cirri and maxillary barbels, and being darker in coloration.

Abstract: Phylogenetic relationships within the family Rivulidae (order Cyprinodontiformes) are investigated using 1972 aligned base pairs of mitochondrial DNA for samples representing 66 species. Genes analyzed include those encoding the 12S ribosomal RNA; transfer RNAs for valine, glutamine, methionine, tryptophan, alanine, asparagine, cysteine and tyrosine; complete NADH dehydrogenase subunit II, and part of cytochrome oxidase I. Parsimony analysis of the aligned mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences results in a single most parsimonious tree. The phylogeny reveals two independent origins of developmental diapause within the family Rivulidae. It is unlikely that diapause was invented de novo in each group, suggesting that the presence or absence of diapause is the result of developmental switches between alternative stabilized pathways. Phylogeny of the family Rivulidae shows high concordance with predictions derived from the geological history of South America and Central America. Basal lineages in the rivulid phylogeny are distributed primarily on geologically old areas, whereas more nested lineages occur in geologically younger areas. However, there is little concordance between the molecular phylogeny and currently available morphological hypotheses and existing taxonomies. Based on the mtDNA phylogeny, the genera Pterolebias, Rivulus, Pituna and Plesiolebias are considered nonmonophyletic, and warrant taxonomic reassessment.

404. Hrbek, T., and A. Meyer 2003. Closing of the Tethys Sea and the phylogeny of Eurasian killifishes (Cyprinodontiformes: Cyprinodont. Journal of Evolutionary Biology. 16(1): 7-26.
Abstract: To test vicariant speciation hypotheses derived from geological evidence of the closing of the Tethys Sea, we reconstruct phylogenetic relationships of the predominantly fresh-water killifish genus Aphanius using 3263 aligned base pairs of mitochondrial DNA from samples representing 49 populations of 13 species. We use additional 11 cyprinodontid species as outgroup taxa. Genes analyzed include those encoding the partial 12S and 16S ribosomal RNAs; transfer RNAs for Valine, Leucine, Isoleucine, Glutamine, Methionine, Tryptophan, Alanine, Asparagine, Cysteine and Tyrosine; and complete NADH dehydrogenase subunit I and II. Molecular substitution rate for this DNA region is estimated at of 8.6 ± 0.1 10-9 substitutions/base pair/year, and is derived from a well dated transgression of the Red Sea into the Wadi Sirhan of Jordan 13 million year ago (MYA); an alternate substitution rate of 1.1 ± 0.2 10-8 substitutions/base pair/year is estimated from fossil evidence. Aphanius forms two major clades which correspond to the former eastern and western Tethys Sea. Within the eastern clade oligocene divergence into a fresh-water clade inhabiting the Arabian Peninsula and an euhaline clade inhabiting coastal area from Pakistan to Somalia is observed. Within the western Tethys Sea clade we observe a middle Oligocene divergence into Iberian Peninsula and Atlas mountains, and Turkey and Iran sections. Within Turkey we observe a large amount of genetic differentiation correlated with late Miocene orogenic events. Based on concordance of patterns of phylogenetic relationships and area relationships derived from geological and fossil data, as well as temporal congruence of these patterns, we support a predominantly vicariant-based speciation hypothesis for the genus Aphanius. An exception to this pattern forms the main clade of A. fasciatus, an euhaline circum-Mediterranean species, which shows little genetic differentiation or population structuring, thus providing no support for the hypothesis of vicariant differentiation associated with the Messinian Salinity Crisis. The two phylogenetically deepest events were also likely driven by ecological changes associated with the closing of the Tethys Sea.

Abstract: A new killifish species, Aphanius villwocki, is described from the upper Sakarya River basin of Anatolia, central Asiatic Turkey. It is distinguished from the other Anatolian Aphanius species by maximum attainable size, adult color pattern and mitochondrial DNA sequences. Based on the phylogenetic analysis of molecular sequence data, the new species forms a sister taxon to A. anatoliae and A. danfordii.

Abstract: A new killifish species, Rivulus duckensis, is described from the Reserva Adolpho Ducke, Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil. It is distinguished from other central Amazonian Rivulus species by maximum body size, adult color pattern, habitat preference and mitochondrial DNA sequences. Based on the phylogenetic analysis of molecular sequence data, our best hypothesis suggests that R. duckensis is sister taxon to a clade of Rivulus species occurring in the upper Río Orinoco basin, Amazonas state, Venezuela and Rivulus rectocaudatus, Amazonas department, Peru.

Abstract: Phylogenetic analysis of 13 mitochondrial DNA genes of Austrofundulus Myers 1932 indicates that as presently recognized, A. limnaeus is composed of several populations with monophyletic haplotype lineages, which together are paraphyletic with respected to A. transilis. These populations were previously united based on shared plesiomorphic morphometric characters. Austrofundulus myersi is removed from synonymy; four new species: A. rupununi, A. leohoignei, A. guajira, and A. leoni are described; and A. limnaeus is restricted to populations along the eastern side of Lake Maracaibo. In contrast, populations of A. transilis from the Río Apure Llanos and the lower Río Unare basin show little divergence. The proposed phylogeny: (A. myersi (A. leoni (A. limnaeus (A. guajira (A. leohoignei (A. rupununi (A. transilis))))))) is strongly supported by high bootstrap values and Bremer decay indexes, and unique length variations in the 12S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) gene. The distributions and the relationships of the newly erected species are concordant with the geological history of northern South America.

Abstract: Phylogenetic relationships of a subset of Aphanius fish comprising central Anatolia, Turkey are investigated to test the hypothesis of geographic speciation driven by early Pliocene orogenic events in spite of morphological similarity. We use 3434 aligned base pairs of mitochondrial DNA from 42 samples representing 36 populations of three species and six outgroup species to test this hypothesis. Genes analyzed include those encoding the 12S and 16S ribosomal RNAs; transfer RNAs coding for valine, leucine, isoleucine, glutamine, methionine, tryptophan, alanine, asparagine, cysteine and tyrosine; and complete NADH dehydrogenase subunit I and II. Distance based minimum evolution and maximum likelihood analyses identify six well supported clades consisting of A. danfordii, A. sp. aff danfordii, and four clades of A. anatoliae. Parsimony analysis results in 462 equally parsimonious trees, all of which contain the six well supported clades identified in the other analyses. Our phylogenetic results are supported by hybridization studies (Villwock, 1964), and by the geological history of Anatolia. Phylogenetic relationships among the six clades are only weakly supported, however, and differ among analytical methods. We therefore test and subsequently reject the hypothesis of simultaneous diversification among the six central Anatolian clades. However, our analyses do not identify any internodes that are significantly better supported than expected by chance alone. Therefore, although bifurcating branching order is hypothesized to underlie this radiation, the exact branching order is difficult to estimate with confidence.

Abstract: We investigated the phylogenetic relationships of Pseudophoxinus (Cyprinidae: Leuciscinae) species from central Anatolia, Turkey to test the hypothesis of geographic speciation driven by early Pliocene orogenic events. We analyzed 1141 aligned base pairs of the complete cytochrome b mitochondrial gene. Phylogenetic relationships reconstructed by maximum likelihood, Bayesian likelihood and maximum parsimony methods are identical, and generally well supported. Species and clades are restricted to geologically well-defined units, and are deeply divergent from each other. The basal diversification of central Anatolian Pseudophoxinus is estimated to have occurred approximately 15 million years ago. Our results are in agreement with a previous study of the Anatolian fish genus Aphanius that also shows a diversification pattern driven by the Pliocene orogenic events. The distribution of clades of Aphanius and Pseudophoxinus overlap, and areas of distribution comprise the same geological units. The geological history of Anatolia is likely to have had a major impact on the diversification history of many taxa occupying central Anatolia; many of these taxa are likely to be still unrecognized as distinct.

Abstract: CONTRIBUTION TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE ICHTHYOFAUNA FROM THE UPPER IGUAÇU RIVER BASIN, PARANÁ, BRAZIL. A survey of the species of fishes from the Upper Iguaçu River Basin deposited in Museu de História Natural Capão da Imbuia is presented. Forty-one species were identified, of which eight are endemics and ten belong to indefinite taxonomic status. Three species (Astyanax sp. n., Misgurnus anguillicaudatus and Clarias gariepinus) are mentioned by the first time to the basin. Misgurnus anguillicaudatus is a very common exotic aquarium fish and Clarias gariepinus is also an exotic fish used in fish culture. Astyanax altiparanae is a new record for the Upper Iguaçu River Basin. During the present survey, Glandulocauda melanopleura, which was considered rare, was registered, and Hyphessobrycon taurocephalus, known only by the type series, was not found. An identification key for all the species of fishes recorded is provided.

Abstract: The validity of Pungitius hellenicus, a stickleback fish from Greece, is confirmed in a morphological study of specimens from throughout the range of the genus. Three characters distinguish P. hellenicus from both P. pungitius and P. platygaster: reduced ectocoracoid, fewer dorsal spines (2-6 vs usually 7-12), and all dorsal spines vertically arranged (vs some being inclined). The absence of a caudal peduncle keel further differentiates P. hellenicus from P. pungitius, and the absence of the large lateral scutes and a complete pelvic girdle differentiates P. hellenicus from P. platygaster.

Abstract: Sticklebacks are widely used in comparative biology, but despite past systematic studies, questions of intrarelationships remain. We examined seven nominal species of Pungitius (P. pungitius, P. occidentalis, P. sinensis, P. tymensis, P. platygaster, P. laevis and P. hellenicus) and four other species of sticklebacks, Culaea inconstans, Gasterosteus aculeatus, Apeltes quadracus, and Spinachia spinachia, to hypothesize their systematic relationships. Thirty-three informative morphological (osteological and meristic) characters were analyzed. The outgroup comparison method was used for polarizing characters and cladistic methods for reconstructing the systematic relationships of the species. A 50% majority rule consensus tree was calculated for the 32 most parsimonious trees analyzed in the PAUP computer program. The results indicate that S. spinachia is the most primitive member of the family, followed by A. quadracus, and G. aculeatus. It appears that C. inconstans lies within the Pungitius lineage, possibly sister to P. hellenicus, suggesting that C. inconstans should be placed in the genus Pungitius. However, we defer recommending that Culaea be considered a synonym of Pungitius pending further studies to better resolve the Culaea/Pungitius clade.

Abstract: The number of valid species in the genus Pungitius is uncertain due to the wide geographic variation in morphology and plasticity of many characters. Currently, two to eight species are recognized. Keivany et al. (1997) confirmed the validity of P. hellenicus and recognized three valid species in Pungitius, namely, P. hellenicus, P. platygaster, and P. pungitius. In order to assess the taxonomic status of various nominal taxa, we examined 266 specimens of the five nominal species often referred to as P. pungitius complex; P. laevis, P. pungitius, P. tymensis, P. sinensis, and P. occidentalis. Osteology and some meristic features of the nominal taxa were studied and morphometric characters are discussed. We find no evidence to justify recognizing four of the nominal species as valid, however, we recognize five valid subspecies in P. pungitius ; P. p. laevis, P. p. pungitius, P. p. tymensis, P. p. sinensis, and P. p. occidentalis. The three species and five subspecies are described, a key to the species and subspecies is provided, and the taxonomy of the taxa is discussed.

Abstract: The aim of this study is to reveal gene flow between populations of the coral reef dwelling lionfish Pterois miles in the Gulf of Aqaba and northern Red Sea. Due to the fjord-like hydrography and topology of the Gulf of Aqaba, isolation of populations might be possible. Analysis of 5V mitochondrial control region sequences from 94 P. miles specimens detected 32 polymorphic sites, yielding 38 haplotypes. Sequence divergence among different haplotypes ranged from 0.6% to 9.9% and genetic diversity was high (h=0.85, p=1.9%). AMOVA indicates panmixia between the Gulf of Aqaba and northern Red Sea, but analysis of migration pattern shows an almost unidirectional migration originating from the Red Sea.

Abstract: This study investigates the molecular phylogeny of seven lionﬁshes of the genera Dendrochirus and Pterois. MP, ML, and NJ phylogenetic analysis based on 964 bp of partial mitochondrial DNA sequences (cytochrome b and 16S rDNA) revealed two main clades: (1) ‘‘Pterois’’ clade (Pterois miles and Pterois volitans), and (2) ‘‘Pteropterus–Dendrochirus’’ clade (remainder of the sampled species). The position of Dendrochirus brachypterus either basal to the main clades or in the ‘‘Pteropterus–Dendrochirus’’ clade cannot be resolved. However, the molecular phylogeny did not support the current separation of the genera Pterois and Dendrochirus. The siblings P. miles and P. volitans are clearly separated and our results support the proposed allopatric or parapatric distribution in the Indian and Paciﬁc Ocean. However, the present analysis cannot reveal if P. miles and P. volitans are separate species or two populations of a single species, because the observed separation in diﬀerent clades can be either explained by speciation or lineage sorting. Molecular clock estimates for the siblings P. miles and P. volitans suggest a divergence time of 2.4--8.3 mya, which coincide with geological events that created vicariance between populations of the Indian and Paciﬁc Ocean.

Abstract: The type material of Xiphophorus heckelii Weyenbergh, 1874 and X. obscurus Weyenbergh, 1877 has apparently been re-examined for the first time. Xiphophorus heckelii is confirmed as a junior synonym of Jenynsia multidentata (Jenyns, 1842). Xiphophorus obscurus is recognized as a senior synonym of Jenynsia pygogramma Boulenger, 1902, which is placed in synonymy. A lectotype and paralectotypes for Jenynsia obscura (Weyenbergh, 1877) are designated.

Abstract: Fishes of the Superorder Osteoglossomorpha (the “bonytongues”) constitute a morphologically heterogeneous group of basal teleosts, including highly derived subgroups such as African electric fishes, the African butterfly fish and Old World knifefishes. During the past thirty years different hypotheses of osteoglossomorph interrelationships have been advanced. Lack of consensus among these hypotheses may be due in part to the difficulty of identifying shared derived characters among the morphologically differentiated extant families of this group. In this study we present a novel phylogenetic hypothesis for this group, based on the analysis of more than 4000 characters from five molecular markers (the mitochondrial cytochrome b, 12S and 16S rRNA genes, and the nuclear genes RAG2 and MLL). Our taxonomic sampling includes one representative of each extant non-mormyrid osteoglossomorph genus, one representative for the monophyletic family Mormyridae, and four outgroup taxa within the basal Teleostei. Maximum parsimony analysis of combined and equally weighted characters from the five molecular markers and Bayesian analysis provide a single, well supported, hypothesis of osteoglossomorph interrelationships and show the group to be monophyletic. The tree topology is the following: (Hiodon alosoides, (Pantodon buchholzi, (((Osteoglossum biccirhosum, Scleropages sp.), (Arapaima gigas, Heterotis niloticus)), ((Gymnarchus niloticus, Ivindomyrus opdenboschi), ((Notopterus notopterus, Chitala ornata), (Xenomystus nigri, Papyrocranus afer)))))). We compare our results with previously published phylogenetic hypotheses based on morpho-anatomical data. Additionally, we explore the consequences of the long terminal branch length for the taxon Pantodon buchholzi in our phylogenetic reconstruction and we use the obtained phylogenetic tree to reconstruct the evolutionary history of electroreception in the Notopteroidei.

Abstract: Despite numerous studies aimed at resolving relationships among basal euteleost lineages, many aspects of their phylogeny remain the subject of debate. The Esociformes have proven particularly difficult to place, and although a hypothesis of relationships within this group first proposed by Nelson has been generally accepted, a recent hypothesis based on evidence from mitochondrial DNA sequences is not congruent with it. We have assembled an expanded dataset of DNA sequences from the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes to test existing hypotheses of esociform inter- and intraordinal relationships. This dataset includes representatives from all extant esociform lineages and a wide diversity of potential outgroups (51 taxa in total). We also conducted a review of the morphological information that supports currently held hypotheses of esociform inter- and intraordinal relationships. This review revealed potential problems with character state coding and interpretation of character states. However, the molecular evidence, particularly the nuclear sequences, produced unambiguous support for a sister-group relationship between esociforms and salmonoids and also offer similarly strong corroboration of the hypothesis of esociform intraordinal relationships based on mitochondrial sequences and for the monophyly of the subgenera Esox and Kenoza of Esox. In addition to the conclusions regarding esociform relationships, the molecular evidence we present offers support for the monophyly of the Osmeridae, for a sister-group relationship between the Retropinnidae and the Osmeroidei (Osmeridae + Salangidae + Plecoglossidae) and for a close relationship of Stomiiformes and Osmeriformes.

Abstract: Despite numerous studies aimed at resolving relationships among basal euteleost lineages, many aspects of their phylogeny remain the subject of debate. The Esociformes have proven particularly difficult to place, and although a hypothesis of relationships within this group first proposed by Nelson has been generally accepted, a recent hypothesis based on evidence from mitochondrial DNA sequences is not congruent with it. We have assembled an expanded dataset of DNA sequences from the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes to test existing hypotheses of esociform inter- and intraordinal relationships. This dataset includes representatives from all extant esociform lineages and a wide diversity of potential outgroups (51 taxa in total). We also conducted a review of the morphological information that supports currently held hypotheses of esociform inter- and intraordinal relationships. This review revealed potential problems with character state coding and interpretation of character states. However, the molecular evidence, particularly the nuclear sequences, produced unambiguous support for a sister-group relationship between esociforms and salmonoids and also offer similarly strong corroboration of the hypothesis of esociform intraordinal relationships based on mitochondrial sequences and for the monophyly of the subgenera Esox and Kenoza of Esox. In addition to the conclusions regarding esociform relationships, the molecular evidence we present offers support for the monophyly of the Osmeridae, for a sister-group relationship between the Retropinnidae and the Osmeroidei (Osmeridae + Salangidae + Plecoglossidae) and for a close relationship of Stomiiformes and Osmeriformes.

Abstract: Mesozoic fish faunas from the Gondwanan continents of South America, Africa, Australia, and Antarctica are relatively more poorly known than their northern counterparts. The best studied faunas known so far are those of the Jurassic (Oxfordian) of Quebrada del Profeta in Chile, of the Lower Cretaceous (Aptian-Albian) of the Araripe Basin in northeastern Brazil, and of the Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian) of Lebanon and Morocco. Many other promising localities have been reported, but they need to be revised or thoroughly studied in the light of modern ideas of phylogeny and biogeography. These include the Triassic faunas of the Cuyo Basin in Argentina and of Gosford, Brookvale and St. Peters in Australia, the Jurassic faunas of the Caï¿½adï¿½n Calcï¿½reo Formation in Argentina, Talbragar in Australia, the Stanleyville Beds in Africa, and the Cretaceous faunas of the La Cantera and Lagarcito Formations of Argentina, the Apon Formation of Venezuela, many Albian fish assemblages of Africa, and the Santa Marta Formation of Antarctica among others. The geographic distribution of known Mesozoic fish localities on these continents mainly follows the more densely populated and/or geologically better explored areas. Stratigraphically, the Mesozoic fish record is far from complete, with the Cretaceous generally better represented than either the Triassic or the Jurassic on all continents. At the current state of knowledge, Mesozoic fish evolution in Gondwana seems to have followed the same general pattern as in the Northern Hemisphere, but too little is still known to establish the detailed sequence of events. Mesozoic fish faunas from Gondwana have already been demonstrated to be of great importance for our understanding of fish evolution and biogeography, and there is a great potential for further discoveries and studies.

Abstract: In Argentina, Recent percichthyids are represented by a single genus, Percichthys, of which four nominal species were recognized previous to this study. Morphometric analyses of the Argentinean species of Percichthys are carried out in order to study intraspecific and individual variation within these fishes. A total of 24 distance measurements, evaluated on each of 220 specimens, are analysed using multivariate (principal components and discriminant analyses) and bivariate (regressions) statistical methods. The analyses resulted in the recognition of three morphometrically distinct species of Percichthys in Argentina, P. trucha, P. colhuapiensis, and P. laevis. The latter species was previously considered to be a junior synonym of P. trucha. Two other species, P. vinciguerrae and P. altispinis are indistinguishable from P. trucha and thus, considered junior synonyms. The species-level taxonomy of the genus Percichthys is discussed and the Chilean species P. chilensis, previously considered to be a junior synonym of P. trucha, is shown to be morphologically distinct from the latter.PDF:

Abstract: Semionotus bergeri AGASSIZ, 1833, from the Upper Triassic (Carnian) of southern Germany, the type species of Semionotus, is here described in detail for the first time, including so far unstudied material in the Naturkunde-Museum Coburg, which allows a fairly complete reconstruction of this fish. The species is diagnosed by the presence of long frontals, about 4 times longer than wide, with antorbital lateral processes, 6-7 posterior infraorbitals, infraorbital at the posteroventral corner of the orbit notably larger than adjacent ones, infraorbitals at the posterior border of the orbit being as deep as long, and the middle element anteroventrally expanded, dorsal fin base about two times the anal fin base. S. elegans from the Late Triassic-Early Jurassic of the Newark Supergroup in North America, is so far the best know species of Semionotus and is the only species of this genus that has been included in phylogentic analyses. However, the comparison of S. bergeri with other proposed species of Semionotus, such as S. elegans, and other semionotids casts doubt on the monophyly of this genus as currently understood, since these species exhibit a mosaic distribution of characters.

Abstract: A revision of the semionotids from the Lower Cretaceous Lagarcito Formation of Argentina leads to the conclusion that only one taxon, Neosemionotus puntanus Bocchino, 1973, is represented, instead of two monospecific genera and one species of Lepidotes as originally thought. Neosemionotus shares with Lepidotes the presence of more than one suborbital arranged in one row and a long posteroventral process of the dentary, features that have previously been thought to be diagnostic of Lepidotes. On the other hand, it shares with Semionotus the presence of conspicuous dorsal ridge scales. However, Neosemionotus is unique in the characteristics of its dorsal and anal fins, which are both flanked only by high and strong paired basal fulcra. These fulcra become gradually higher/deeper posteriorly, reaching approximately the height/depth of the first fin ray. Other probable synapomorphies of Neosemionotus are the presence of a long parietal pit line, a small, approximately triangular interoperculum, the complete absence of fringing fulcra on the dorsal, and anal fins, and the presence of only very few long and slender fringing fulcra on the pelvic and caudal fins. The systematic position of Neosemionotus is still unknown, but the presence of probably primitive features like the high number of extrascapulars, short parietals, the arrangement of suborbitals, and short snout indicate a relatively basal position among semionotids.

Abstract: The ï¿½perleidiformï¿½ Mendocinichthys and Pseudobeaconia from the Potrerillos and Santa Clara Abajo formations (Upper Triassic; Argentina) are reviewed. Mendocinichthys has been known from a review of this species that is not based on the type material, but on referred specimens in the American Museum of Natural History. However, those specimens are found here to represent a new species of Pseudobeaconia, P. celestae sp. nov. Consequently, Mendocinichthys is restricted here to the type material and, within it, to the only specimen that clearly represents a distinct taxon and is thus designated lectotype. We further performed a cladistic analysis and propose a new family, Pseudobeaconiidae for these two South American Triassic genera, which is mainly characterized by the presence of an incomplete dorsal ridge of spine-like scales between the skull and the dorsal fin, and scales with straight posterior border, an elevated central region and marginal concentric ridges of ganoine. The cladistic analysis further indicates the existence of some lineages endemic to certain areas of Gondwana and Europe. Pseudobeaconia celestae sp. nov. represents the first record of Pseudobeaconia in the Cacheuta sub-basin of the Cuyana Basin. The genus was previously known from the Santa Clara sub-basin of the Cuyana Basin only, and the new record confirms the previous hypothesis of correlation between the sedimentary infilling of these sub-basins.

(Teleostei, Perciformes) and other acanthomorph remains from the Maastrichthian Saldeï¿½o Formation (Mendoza, Argentina). Mitteilung aus dem Museum fï¿½r Naturkunde Berlin, Geowissenschaftliche Reihe. 6: 161-172.
Abstract: Some isolated acanthomorph remains and a new taxon of perciform fishes, Saldenioichthys remotus gen. et sp. nov., from the Maastrichtian Saldeï¿½o Formation of Mendoza province, Argentina, are described and their systematic affinities are discussed. The new taxon is represented by a single incomplete, but well preserved postcranial skeleton. With the exception of a fully developed neural spine on the second preural centrum, it agrees with the generalized skeletal features of basal percoids, in particular the generalized perciform caudal skeleton. The only other Mesozoic perciform skeletal remains known so far are Nardoichthys, from the upper Campanian-lower Maastrichtian of Nardo (Italy) and Eoserranus from the Upper Cretaceous Lameta Formation (India). Therefore, the new perciform taxon from the Saldeï¿½o Formation represents one of the oldest members of this group, and due to its peculiar combination of primitive and derived characters, it raises several questions regarding character evolution on this lineage.

Abstract: The Jurassic is an important period for understanding the origin of modern fish faunas, since it saw the first radiation - and in some cases the origin - of most modern groups. In chondrichthyans, neoselachian sharks and rays diversified during this time. In actinopterygians, the neopterygians, and among them the teleosts, experienced an important radiation, which led to the appearance of several of the modern teleosts groups. In the sarcopterygians, dipnoans and actinistians approached their current forms. However, the Jurassic fossil record of fishes is strongly biased towards the Northern Hemisphere. The only notable Early Jurassic fish fauna from Gondwana is that of the Kota Formation of India. For the Middle Jurassic, the most important Gondwanan fish faunas are those of the Aalenian-Bathonian Stanleyville Beds of the Democratic Republic of Congo, in which a distinct freshwater and a marine fauna are found. In the Late Jurassic, the Gondwanan record is slightly better, with important marine faunas being known from the Oxfordian Quebrada del Profeta in Chile and the Tithonian Vaca Muerta Formation of Argentina. Freshwater faunas have been described from the Tithonian Talbragar Beds of eastern Australia and the Tithonian CaÃ±adÃ³n CalcÃ¡reo Formation of Argentina. The taxonomic composition of the known marine actinopterygian faunas of Gondwana is in general agreement with faunas of the Northern Hemisphere. However, the Jurassic fish record from Gondwana is highly incomplete both stratigraphically and geographically, and most faunas are in need of revision, further hampering an interpretation of Jurassic fish evolution in the Southern Hemisphere.

Abstract: The present paper includes detailed descriptions of all fossil fishes known from the Los Rastros Formation (Ladinian; Bermejo Basin, Argentina). Four taxa are identified: Gualolepis carinaesquamosa n. gen. n. sp., Rastrolepis n. gen. with two species R. riojaensis n. sp. and R. latipinnata n. sp., and Challaia elongata n. comb. Gualolepis n. gen. and Rastrolepis n. gen. are incertae sedis actinopterygians. The opercular bones of Gualolepis resemble those in peipiaosteid acipenseriforms and the fish might be related with the Chondrostei. The most distinctive features of Rastrolepis are the narrow opercular region and the presence of a very large plate-like branchiostegal bone resembling the condition in the Redfieldiiformes. Challaia elongata, originally described in the Australian genus Myriolepis, is here refered to the genus Challaia, previously known from the nearby Cuyo Basin and representing the first fish taxon common to both continental sequences. Furthermore, Challaia is shown to be a member of the Acrolepidae and represents the youngest record of the family in Gondwana.

Abstract: A new species of pygmy seahorse, Hippocampus denise, is described from Indonesia. It is distinguished from other species of seahorse by its diminutive size; low number of tail rings (28-29); 10-11 pectoral fin rays; 14 dorsal fin rays; rounded nuchal plate and no raised coronet; snout length 30% in head length, without bulbous tip; inferior and ventral trunk ridges reduced to disconnected star-shaped ossifications; few tubercles on body; males with eggs and embryos contained within the trunk region; and plain orange body colour. Further specimens from Vanuatu and Palau, in addition to photographs and other observations by the senior author, suggest that this species may be relatively widespread in the western Pacific Ocean. It is recorded from depths of 13-90 m in association with gorgonian seafans identified as Annella reticulata (Ellis and Solander 1786), Muricella Verrill 1869 and Echinogorgia Kölliker 1865. Comparisons are made with H. bargibanti Whitley 1970, and H. minotaur Gomon 1997.

Abstract: Seahorses (Hippocampus spp) are heavily exploited in Vietnam, but conservation and management measures are currently limited by the ambiguous taxonomic definitions of the genus in the region. Seven species of seahorse are identified in this paper as inhabiting the coastal waters of Vietnam. We used morphometric and DNA sequence data (from the cytochrome b region of the mitochondrial genome) to delimit the species. Species descriptions are put forward and we provide illustrations and an identification key to the species. Th species are provisionally assigned to Hippocampus spinosissimus Weber 1913, H. comes Cantor 1850, H. trimaculatus Leach 1814, H. kuda Bleeker 1852, H. kelloggi Jordan and Snyder 1902, H. mohnikei Bleeker 1854 and H. histrix Kaup 1856. The current level of confusion in seahorse nomenclature, means that some of these distinct species in Vietnam (in particular H. spinosissimus, H. kuda, H. kelloggi and H. mohnikei) may have to be renamed once a comprehensive revision of the genus has been completed.

Abstract: The taxonomy of the nominal species of giant trahiras Hoplias aimara (Valenciennes, 1846) and Hoplias macrophthalmus (Pellegrin, 1907), both described from Cayenne (French Guiana), was evaluated to determine whether they constitute distinct forms and to determine the geographic distribution of the recognized species. A total of 200 specimens were examined (30–624 mm standard length). Analysis of meristic and morphometric data resulted in the recognition of a single species. Study of the type-specimens revealed that both species names, H. aimara and H. macrophthalmus, refer to the same taxon. According to the Principle of Priority of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature the name Hoplias aimara has precedence. This species is distinguished from congeners by the presence of a vertically-elongate dark spot on the median portion of the opercular membrane and by the absence of the accessory ectopterygoid. Hoplias aimara occurs in the drainages of Rio Tocantins, Rio Xingu, Rio Tapajo s, Rio Jarı, and Rio Trombetas, in coastal drainages of the Guyanas, Suriname, and state of Amapa, Brazil. In the Rıo Orinoco basin, the species occurs only in the Rıo Caronı and rivers to the east of this drainage. Literature records of Hoplias aimara for the Rio Purus and upper Rıo Orinoco were based on misidentifications. This pattern of geographic distribution of Hoplias aimara in rivers of the Guyanas and Brazilian Shields also occurs in other Neotropical species of fishes.

Abstract: The family Acropomatidae and the genus Synagrops are poorly defined and doubts about their monophyly exist. Synagrops is the largest genus in the family, with eleven species, four of which have been described from the western Atlantic and occur mainly in upper slope waters. This paper reviews the Caribbean and adjacent tropical species of the genus and provides an identification key. Synagrops bellus, the largest species of the genus, reaches over 30 cm and is known from almost all the tropical Atlantic; it has a smooth pelvic spine and seven soft rays in the anal fin. Synagrops pseudomicrolepis, described from a single specimen, is reported from the western and southern Caribbean; it is similar to S. bellus in having a smooth pelvic spine, but differs by its nine anal-fin soft rays. Synagrops spinosus has a widely disjunct distribution, including the tropical and temperate western Atlantic, and Chinese and Japanese waters; it has a serrated pelvic spine and anal-fin counts of II,7-8. Synagrops trispinosus, an almost strictly Caribbean species, also has a serrated pelvic spine, but its anal-fin counts are III,8-9.

Abstract: Collections made by two deep-sea expeditions off eastern Brazil between 11ï¿½ and 23ï¿½S, revealed the occurrence of a rich fish fauna. A total of 94 trawl stations were performed by the RV Thalassa and RV Astro Garoupa, at depths from 200 to 2300 m. The fishes of the order Ophidiiformes are reported upon here, including 23 species from three families: Carapidae (2), Ophidiidae (19) and Bythitidae (2). Of these, 15 species represent new records for Brazilian waters: Acanthonus armatus, Barathrites parri, Barathrodemus manatinus, Dicrolene kanazawai, Eretmichthys pinnatus, Holcomycteronus squamosus, Lamprogrammus brunswigi, Luciobrotula sp., Monomitopus agassizii, Neobythites monocellatus, Neobythites sp., Porogadus catena, Porogadus miles, Xyelacyba myersi, and Cataetyx messieri. Luciobrotula sp. represents an undescribed species. This paper also provides a checklist to and an identification key for all ophidiiform fishes from Brazil, totaling 45 species.

Abstract: - A new genus and species of small characid is described in this paper. The new genus, Nans gen. n., is diagnosed by the combination of: ii,7-8 dorsal-fin rays, 10-15 branched anal-fin rays, 5 teeth in the inner premaxillary row, rotation of the pelvic bone about 90°, rotation of the pelvic fin muscles, pelvic fin curved and forming a complete tube in mature males, incomplete foramen for exit of the olfactory nerve in the lateral ethmoid. Other charac- ters which help in the identification of Nans are the large subcircular foramen in the dorsal vomerine lamella which articulates with the meseth- moid, the absence of an extrascapular sensory canal in the postemporal, and a laterosensory canal in the anguloarticular. The type species, Nans inde- fessus sp. n. was collected in the río Anta Muerta and arroyo Colorado, tributaries of the río Blanco, and in the río Pescado, upper río Bermejo basin, Salta, Argentina.

Abstract: Astyanax correntinus (HOLMBERG, 1891) is redescribed with recently collected material (Holmberg, from the río Paraná near Corrientes city, northeast of Argentina. This species is distinguished by a combination of characters: (1) the possession of 8/6–7 transverse scales; (2) the presence of 39–42 perforated scales in the lateral series; (3) the presence of iv–v, 29–33 anal-fin rays; (4) the absence of circuli on posterior field of scales; (5) the broad silvery lateral band; (6) a small rounded humeral spot, and (7) the presence of pentacuspidate outer premaxillary teeth. Several characters are compared with those of Astyanax pelegrini Eigenmann, 1907 from the río Paraguay, in Bahía Negra, Paraguay.

Abstract: Serrasalmus maculatus is a widely distributed species in South America, occurring in the Amazon Basin, Paraná–Plata System, and in the Río Salí–Dulce endorrheic basin. This is a preliminary survey about differences existing between individuals from last two basins, after geographic vicariance event and an isola- tion period. The study was based upon morphometric, le- pidological, and meristic features. Morphometric analyses show differences in the length of adipose fin base, in the distance between anterior border of cranial fontanel and the posterior extreme of mouth and in the length between the end of dorsal and anal fins. Results also suggest differences in location of anal fin relative to dorsal fin. In meristic data, a statistically significant difference was found in the number of pre–ventral serrae, but rang- es are much overlapped and modes almost coincide. An almost perfect correlation between number of circuli (concentric circles in scales) and standard length was found in individuals from Salí–Dulce Basin, while practically there is no correlation in Paraná–Plata indi- viduals. In a 28 % of scales pertaining to the last popu- lation, the center is much enlarged and circuli become very peripheral and scarce, making correlation not good. In scales from Salí–Dulce individuals, this feature was observed in no case.PDF:

Abstract: A second species of Grammatonotus from the Hawaiian Islands, tentatively identified as G. macrophthalmus Katayama, Yamamoto, & Yamakawa (Callanthiidae), is recorded from French Frigate Shoals and the Northampton Seamount based on observations from a research submersible. In the absence of collected specimens, the identification was made by comparing characters visible in video images to previously published images and descriptions. The fish were observed from 340 to 440 m at or near rocky habitats with crevices. All of the observations were near current-swept areas that supported gold coral (Gerardia sp.) colonies, although the fish were never seen within the colonies. A habitat feature important for both Grammatonotus and Gerardia, such as current or planktonic food supply, may therefore influence the distribution of the fish. Extensive fish surveys conducted in comparable depths at other areas of the archipelago have not encountered this species, with one poorly documented exception from trawling surveys. Two other range extensions of Grammatonotus are included herein: Grammatonotus laysanus Gilbert from the Line Islands with a specimen collected at Christmas Island at 274 m and an unidentified Grammatonotus juvenile from the Tuamotu Archipelago at 705 m. Our examination of specimens and review of previous records of Grammatonotus indicate that this genus needs taxonomic revision.

Abstract: Three species of the ophidiid genus Neobythites containing ocelli in the dorsal fin are known from the West Atlantic: Neobythites gilli Goode and Bean 1885, N. ocellatus GÃ¼nther 1887 and N. monocellatus Nielsen 1999. In the year 2000, 18 specimens of Neobythites were caught on the upper continental slope off eastern Brazil. This is the first documented record of a Neobythites specimen off Brazil since the holotype of N. ocellatus was caught in 1873. Seventeen of the specimens are referable to N. ocellatus and one to N. monocellatus. Until now the distribution of N. ocellatus was considered to be from off Atlantic Florida, the Caribbean Sea and then a gap of 4500 km to the type locality off Brazil. However, the holotype and the 17 specimens differ from the more northerly recorded specimens in pattern and number of spots and ocelli on the dorsal fin. The 18 Brazilian specimens have two distinct ocelli, one near the origin of the dorsal fin and one above the midpoint of the fish, and further back occasionally a small, black spot, while the northern specimens occasionally have a small, black spot near the origin of the fin, a distinct ocellus above the midpoint and up to three ocelli further posteriorly. Consequently a new species, N. multiocellatus, is described based on 59 specimens from the Caribbean Sea to off Atlantic Florida. The record of the N. monocellatus specimen extends its distribution about 3000 km southwards. A comparison of the four ocellus-bearing species from the West Atlantic is made.

Abstract: Feeding communities of freshwater teleostean fishes on sediment bottom in streams of the Tan-Shuei-drainage in the northern part of Taiwan near the village Pinlin are reported and documented by photo-graphs. Cobitis sinensis (Cobitidae) showed a typical nutritive behaviour, Rhinogobius giurinus (Gobiidae) and Micro-physogobio brevirostris (Cyprinidae) were the commensals. A similar behaviour was observed between Crossostomalacustre (Balitoridae) and Acrossocheilus paradoxus (Cyprinidae).

Abstract: Sexual parasitism, a remarkable mode of reproduction unique to some members of the deep-sea anglerfish suborder Ceratioidei, in which males are dwarfed and become permanently attached to much larger females, is described in a number of previously unreported specimens and taxa. Although generally attributed to all ceratioids, and despite more than a seven-fold increase in the number of known parasitized females in collections throughout the world in the last 50 years, the phenomenon is surprisingly confined to few taxa within the suborder. To date, permanently attached males have been found in only five of the 11 ceratioid families, ten of the 35 genera, and 23 of the 160 recognized species. Notes on taxonomic content, available material, occurrence of sexual parasitism, gravid females and ripe males, the development of eyes and nostrils of the males, the ability of males to capture and ingest food independently of the female, occurrences of multiple attachments of males to a single female, and the nature of the fusion between coupled males and females are given for each ceratioid family. This information is then summarized and discussed. Evidence is presented to reaffirm the presence of three reproductive modes: obligatory parasitism, facultative parasitism, and temporary non-parasitic attachment. Additional evidence is provided to reaffirm the hypothesis that sexual parasitism has evolved separately at least three and perhaps five or more times within the suborder.

Abstract: Pre-Aptian mid-Mesozoic terrestrial vertebrates from the African continent are still very poorly known. In Niger, the Tiouaren Formation in the Iullemmeden Basin has yielded dinosaur and other vertebrate remains, and this unit has been dated as Early Cretaceous, most probably pre-Aptian, on the basis of its fish fauna and geological relations to other units in the basin. A review of the fish fauna and invertebrates from this formation does not provide any evidence for such an age, and the geological relations only help to constrain the upper limit for the age of the formation (Aptian). In contrast, the described dinosaur taxa are phylogenetically nested with late Middle Jurassic to Early Late Jurassic taxa from other localities, and thus indicate a pre-Kimmeridgian, probably late Middle Jurassic age for the Tiouaren Formation. Under the assumption of such an age, the dinosaur fauna of this formation provides new insights into dinosaur faunal provincialism during the latest Middle Jurassic. Northern Gondwanan faunas of that time seem to have been different from southern Gondwanan faunas, and show closer affinities to Eurasian faunas than to the latter. A possible explanation for this might be a climatically controlled geographic barrier due to pronounced arid conditions and thus desert environments in central Gondwana during this time.

Abstract: Between October and August 1999 five cruises were made on board of R/V Ancón, across the Colombian Caribbean slope, from Punta Estrella (Guajira), near the Venezuelan border, to Cabo Tiburón (Chocó), near the Panamá border. Eighty trawls were made between 200 and 500 m depth with a semi-balloon net. Twelve new records of fishes for the Colombian Caribbean in the orders Beryciformes, Zeiformes, Perciformes and Tetraodontiformes were collected. Plectranthias garrupellus (Serranidae), Benthodesmus tenuis and B. simonyi (Trichiuridae) are new records for the Caribbean; Diplospinnus multistriatus family (Gempylidae) is a new record for the southern Caribbean.

Abstract: Pseudanos winterbottomi n. sp. from the Orinoco drainage of Venezuela and the Tapajós drainage of Brazil resembles Pseudanos gracilis (Kner) in meristic and morphometric characters but differs from it in possession of a single midlateral stripe instead of a series of lateral spots, four branchiostegal rays instead of three, two pores on the sensory canal of the nasal instead of one, four pores on the sensory canal of the first infraorbital arranged in a square instead of three pores arranged in a line or shallow V, a dorsal process on the mesopterygoid that wraps around the posterior of the palatine (versus absence of such a process), the absence of a thin, posteriorly directed process on the ectopterygoid running ventral to the palatine (versus presence of such a process), a thick, blocklike palatine instead of a thinner, platelike palatine, and an almost completely closed metapterygoid/quadrate fenestra (versus an open fenestra). An updated key to the anostomine characiforms of the genera Anostomus, Gnathodolus, Pseudanos, Sartor and Synaptolaemus is presented. Pseudanos winterbottomi n. sp. de la cuenca del Orinoco en Venezuela y la cuenca del Tapajós en Brazil se parece a Pseudanos gracilis (Kner) en caracteres merísticos y morfométricos, pero se diferencia de esta especie por la posesión de una sola banda medio lateral en vez de una serie de motas laterales, cuatro radios branquiostegales en vez de tres, dos poros en el canal sensorial del nasal en vez de uno, cuatro poros en el canal sensorial del primer infraorbital ordenados en un cuadrado en vez de tres poros ordenados en una línea o una V poco profunda, un proceso dorsal del mesopterigoideo que se envuelve alrededor del extremo posterior del palatino (en contraste con la ausencia de tal proceso), la ausencia de un proceso delgado, dirigido posteriormente sobre el pterigoideo corriendo ventral al palatino (en contraste con la presencia de tal proceso), un grueso palatino, como un bloque en vez de un palatino mas delgado, como una placa, y una fenestra metapterigoideo/cuadrado casi completamente cerrada (en contraste con una fenestra abierta). Se presenta una clave actualizada para los caraciformes de los géneros Anostomus, Gnathodolus, Pseudanos, Sartor y Synaptolaemus.

Abstract: Hatchery-reared series of pallid sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus albus), and shovelnose sturgeon (S. platorynchus) were studied to document morphological development and determine diagnostically useful differences. These species are nearly identical as larvae, but many specimens greater than 10 mm total length can be at least tentatively distinguished using morphological criteria. Both species hatch at 8-9 mm and by 10-11 mm have well-pigmented eyes, a forming mouth, and barbel buds. Barbel-bud length is diagnostic for protolarvae prior to pelvic bud formation at about 12-13 mm but not for later yolk-bearing larvae. Instead, these larvae are best distinguished by eye diameter. Yolk is absorbed by 18-19 mm. For protolarvae without yolk, eye diameter remains diagnostic and inner-barbel length relative to outer-barbel length again becomes diagnostic and remains so through the adult. Ventral pigmentation over the heart and in the lower lip lobes becomes diagnostic during this phase and remains so in mesolarvae. The first median fin rays appear in the dorsal fin between 21and 26 mm, marking transition to the mesolarval phase. First anal-fin rays appear between 25 and 30 mm in shovelnose sturgeon but not until 30-31 mm in pallid sturgeon. Beginning with mesolarvae, deltoid or semi-circular shape of the ventral aspect of the lateral rostral plates behind the outer barbels becomes diagnostic. Appearance of the last caudal fin rays at 56-60 mm in shovelnose sturgeon and greater than 81 mm in pallid sturgeon completes acquisition of median-fin rays and marks transition to the metalarval phase. Caudal-fin-ray counts are diagnostic. Both sturgeon retain some preanal finfold, and thereby remain metalarvae, through at least 200 mm total length

867. Snyder, D. E., and R. T. Muth 2004. Catostomid fish larvae and early juveniles of the Upper Colorado River Basin--morphological descript. Colorado Division of Wildlife Technical Publication 42.
Abstract: Use of collections of fish larvae and young-of-the-year juveniles to help document fish spawning sites and seasons or assess larval production, transport, distribution, nursery habitat, survival, and other aspects of early life history, requires diagnostic criteria to accurately distinguish target species from all similar appearing taxa in the waters sampled. To facilitate identification of larvae and early juveniles of the seven species of Catostomidae in the Upper Colorado River Basin (UCRB), developmental series of reared and collected specimens were studied for differences in morphology, meristics, pigmentation, size relative to developmental state, and skeletal features. The results are documented in detailed descriptive species accounts, a comparative summary, and a computer-interactive key, the first application of such to fish larvae. Early larvae of the endangered razorback sucker (Xyrauchen texanus) are most similar to bluehead sucker (Catostomus discobolus), whereas later larvae and early juveniles appear most like flannelmouth sucker ©. latipinnis). Criteria for distinguishing razorback sucker from the early larvae of most species include early yolk absorption, few or no melanophores along the ventral midline between heart and vent, and generally sparse dorsal pigmentation. Criteria for diagnosis of later larvae and juveniles include up to 16 principal dorsal-fin rays, a correspondingly long dorsal fin base, a large, fan-shaped, first interneural bone, and a large, oval-shaped, frontoparietal fontanelle. Larvae of bluehead sucker and mountain sucker ©. platyrhynchus), both subgenus Pantosteus, are best characterized by early scattering of dorsal pigmentation, early folding of the gut, early formation of dark peritoneal pigmentation, and relatively few dorsal-fin rays. The midventral line of pigment from heart to vent is often complete in mountain sucker larvae but highly variable in bluehead sucker. Early juveniles of both species have a small, blocky, first interneural bone, a narrow fontanelle, moderate to small scales, lips well divided at the corners of the mouth, and a shallow incision separating lower lip lobes. The remaining four species represent subgenus Catostomus. Flannelmouth sucker larvae are distinguished from most other UCRB catostomids by their generally large size at hatching, yolk absorption, and onset of other developmental events; also by a relatively high count of dorsal-fin rays, delayed gut folding, moderate to few midventral melanophores anterior to the vent, and lines of dorsal pigment parallel to the midline that sometimes include obliquely oriented pairs of melanophores resulting in a distinctive herringbone pattern that is sometimes shared only by white sucker ©. commersoni); juveniles develop small scales. White sucker larvae have greater than 20 melanophores in a typically complete midventral line from before or over the heart to the vent; juveniles have large scales, usually well outlined with pigment, and typically develop a distinctive series of three eye-size lateral spots (behind head, above pelvic fins, and on caudal peduncle). Utah sucker ©. ardens) larvae, like flannelmouth sucker, usually have much less midventral pigmentation than white sucker, sometimes none, like some razorback and bluehead sucker; dorsal pigmentation is often sparse like razorback sucker. Juvenile Utah sucker often have larger eyes relative to head length than the other catostomids and, like white sucker, have large scales, but they develop no distinctive eye-size lateral spots or rarely just the anterior two. Early larvae of longnose sucker ©. catostomus) are most similar to bluehead, mountain, and white suckers. All typically have a complete middorsal line of melanophores from head to tail, but longnose sucker larvae develop pelvic-fin buds earlier, and, unlike white sucker, they seldom have complete lines of melanophores lateral to the dorsal midline and sometimes have much less midventral pigmentation. Juveniles have smaller scales and develop no distinct eye-size lateral spots except sometimes one near the base of the caudal fin.

The cladistic analysis revealed that the sister group of Notothenioidei comprises the suborders Zoarcoidei and Blennioidei and the family Trispinacidae. They are separated from the Trachinoidei by next apomorphies: the crest of the supraoccipitale does not reach the upper profile of the skull; the development of large radialia; the posterior and medial processes-of the pelvis do not develop; an anlage of over 36 vertebrae; and the praedorsale is absent. In the suborder Notothenioidei, two suprafamilies are outlined - Bovichtioidea and Notothenioidea. Diagnoses of the suborder Notothenioidei and of the outlined suprafamilies are suggested.

Abstract: ). Development of the fine structure of the anguloarticulare, retroarticulare.quadratum, urostyle, and uroneuraleoffive species of Notothenioidei is investigated. ). The dual (dermal and chondral) origin of the anguloarticulare and quadratum, chondral origin of the retroarticulare, dermal origin of the urostyle and uroneurale are revealed. In the formation of details of bones of complex origin the dermal components play a greater role than the chondral components. The data of histological investigations generally correspond to those obtained by alizarin staining. Development of the quadratum and urostyle in Notothenioidei revealed by alizarin staining and confirmed by histological investigation does not correspond to that in other bony fishes and may be considered synapomorphies of the suborder Notothenioidei supplying convincing proof of their monophyly.

Abstract: The Mesozic record of fossil fishes in North America is characterized by temporally and geographically discontinuous areas of strength. Important assemblages of marine fishes are known from the Lower Triassic of Western Canada, the Albican through Masstrichtian of the Western Interior of borth USA and Canada (culminating in the famous "Kansas Chalk" fauna), and the Santonian t Maastrichtian of the Gulf and Atlantic Coasts of the USA. Important freshwater fish assemblages include those of the Triassic Dockum and Chinle groups in Western Interior USA, the Triassic/Jurassic Newark Supergroup in Eastern USA, the Middle JUrassic Sundance and Wanakah formations of Western Interior USA, and the Upper Cretaceous fluvial formations of the Western Interior of Canada and USA. Chondrichthyans are common in marine and in fluvial formations, but not in lacustrine ones; actinopterygians are common in nearly all assemblage. Lungfishes are common in freshwater formations during the Triassic and Jurassic, but disappear from the Western Interior record during the Early Cretaceous. Coelacanths are common in marine and some freshwater formations in the Triassic, disppearing from the Western Interior record after the Middle Jurassic. There are islated reports of both lungfishes and coelacanths from the Upper Cretaceous of the Atlantic Coast. Certain diverse and geologically complex assemblages, such as those of the 'Kansas Chalk' and the Cretaceous of the Gulf and Atlantic Coasts, would be much more accessible to future researchers after completion of comprehensive reviews of the diveristy and taxonomy of their contained fishes. Overall, study of NOrth american Mesozoic fishes would benefit from greatly increased local and international cooperation and collaboration, thus stimulating interest in these fishes by more researchers and leading to an increased pace of discovery.
