Abstract:

In the present study, three blennid species of Aidablennius sphinx (Valenciennes, 1836) Parablennius tentacularis (Brünnich, 1768) and Scartella cristata (Linnaeus, 1758) were reported from the southeastern Mediterranean waters with visual records during an underwater survey conducted on October 19, 2015 in the Konacik and, on July 30, 2016 in the Çevlik coast at a depth ranges of 2-10 m. The present report is the occurrence and is the first confirmation of three blennid species from Iskenderun Bay, Turkey (South-eastern Mediterranean Sea). Besides, this study will be useful fisheries biology and ecology and also contribute to fisheries scientists.Keywords: Blenniidae, Combtooth blennies; Iskenderun Bay; Mediterranean Sea; observation

Abstract:

Abstract Planktonic reef fish larvae locate and orient to reefs during settlement. Consequently, metamorphosis occurs in appropriate juvenile and/or adult habitats. Larval fish use otoliths for hearing (sagittae and asterisci) as well as equilibrium (lapilli) required for directional swimming. Striped blenny (Chasmodes bosquianus) and naked goby (Gobiosoma bosc) larvae, settled individuals, and juveniles were used to describe otolith ontogeny from hatching through settlement, the transition from pelagic to benthic habitats, and metamorphosis. Larvae hatched from nests collected in North Inlet estuary, SC, were cultured from May through July in 2012 and 2013 at ambient temperatures. Sagittae and lapilli were present at hatching in both species. Asterisci were only observed in settlement (gobies and blennies) or metamorphosis (blennies) stage fishes, regardless of age (days post-hatch). Otoliths within a pair were symmetrical. Fish total length increased faster than sagittae otolith length in settlement stage blennies and postflexion gobies. The allometric model explained ∼90% of the variability in sagittae otolith length with total length for both species. Settlement occurred 15–20 days post-hatch in striped blennies and 19–27 days post-hatch in naked gobies. Asterisci were found in 100% of settlement stage striped blennies and 67% of naked gobies. We hypothesize that the presence of asterisci in settlement stage demersal oyster reef fishes facilitates identification of and orientation to suitable settlement habitats thereby enhancing recruitment success.

Abstract:

A systematic review of the Atlantic blenniid genus Chasmodes was conducted. Principal components analysis (PCA) of 18 box-truss measurements revealed little variation in overall body shape among the three recognized Chasmodes species. In contrast, PCA of six more standard ichthyological measurements and the number of segmented dorsal-fin rays showed significant differences among the three. The species-level classification presented herein agrees with nomenclature in recently published works. Cladistic analysis of partial 12S rRNA gene sequences indicates Chasmodes is sister to a lineage comprising Hypleurochilus, Scartella, and Hypsoblennius. Based on our conclusions about phylogenetic relationships, we infer that sea-level fluctuations were likely associated with speciation in Chasmodes. Remarks on the critical habitats of these blennies are given.

Abstract:

Prosorhynchoides thomasi n. sp. (Digenea: Bucephalidae) is described from the intestine of the fang blennies, Plagiotremus tapeinosoma and P. rhinorhynchos (Blenniidae: Nemophini) from off Lizard Island, Great Barrier Reef, Australia. The new species is differentiated from other species of Prosorhynchoides Dollfus, 1929 that also have testes which are symmetrical or nearly symmetrical by the shape and direction of the caecum and the position of the ovary relative to the caecum. This is the first report of a new species, but the second report of adult bucephalids from Plagiotremus spp. Prosorhynchoides thomasi n. sp. likely exploits the habit of Plagiotremus spp. of mimicking cleaner wrasse (Labridae) behaviour and micropredation on ‘client’ fish. We have not encountered this species from other blennies or from other teleost families known to be infected with bucephalids from the Great Barrier Reef

Abstract:

Commercial seaweeds (Kappaphycus spp.) being widely cultivated at sea face inevitable challenges such as ice-ice disease and epiphyte infestations. Hence, this research provided the first record of potential epiphyte grazing species associated with cultivated seaweeds. A total of 26 seaweed farms were surveyed for 7 months, from April to October 2022, to record the occurrence and abundance of blenny fish. Results from the visual census survey showed a total of 984 sightings of blenny fish (Petroscirtes spp.). The highest occurrence of blennies was recorded in planted seaweeds (81.4%), followed by ropes (12.3%) and floats/buoys (6.3%). Blennies are found to spend the majority of their time resting, swimming, and grazing on the algal epiphytes that are attached to seaweeds. These tiny fish, which are associated with cultivated seaweeds but are overlooked in seaweed farms, are critically important and can contribute little pressure to controlling epiphytes.

Abstract:

Alternative reproductive tactics (ARTs) driven by environmental factors are common among fish. However, the flexibility of fish to adopt distinct tactics in response to the characteristics of their environment has received little attention. The aim of the present work was to study phenotypic plasticity in the adoption of dominant behaviour (“bourgeois tactic”) by male freshwater blennies (Salaria fluviatilis (Asso, 1801)). For this purpose, two simultaneous experiments in aquaria were performed to examine the effect of social cues and nest abundance on the acquisition of secondary sexual characteristics (SSCs). Experiments were conducted with small (individuals without SSCs), medium-sized (1-year-old individuals), and large older dominant males (more than 2 years old), all collected in the wild. In experiment 1, the three sizes of males were combined to compare the development of SSCs depending on intrasexual context. In experiment 2, the effect of nest abundance (two nests vs. six nests) was tested for each size of male. Medium-sized males showed phenotypic plasticity in response to the environmental conditions simulated in the two experiments. The absence of larger dominant males was found to be the main factor enhancing SSCs and the onset of parental behaviour. Nest shortage also influenced the degree of cephalic crest development among medium-sized males. This knowledge helps to understand how the population of freshwater blennies still persists when it is reduced to young individuals during the summer droughts in Mediterranean streams.

Abstract:

Two new species of Salariopsis are described from the Eastern Mediterranean basin. Salariopsis burcuae, new species, from the Bay of Antalya east to the Jordan, is characterised by having a short cirrus, usually not overlapping the 9th circum-orbital sensory pore, and many tiny black dots on the cheek not organised in rows or bands. The new species shows a 4.1% K2P sequence divergence on the cytochrome-c-oxidase subunit 1 (COI) barcoding region from its closest relative, S. fluviatilis. Salariopsis renatorum, new species, from the upper Ceyhan drainage and a coastal stream in Arsuz, is distinguished by having an unbranched supraocular tentacle, black lateral line pores, a short snout, and no black dots on the upper part of the flank and on the cheek. It is also distinguished from its geographically closest congener, S. burcuae, by a molecular distance of 8.8% K2P in its COI barcode region.

Full text

Abstract:

Comparative analyses of sexual size dimorphism (SSD) across species have led to the discovery of Rensch’s rule. This rule states that SSD increases with body size when males are the largest sex, but decreases with increasing size when females are larger. Within-species comparisons of SSD in fish are rare, yet these may be a valuable tool to investigate evolutionary patterns on a fine scale. This study compares SSD among closely related populations of three species of Mediterranean blennies (Blenniidae): Microlipophrys canevae (Vinciguerra, 1880), Parablennius incognitus (Bath 1968), and Aidablennius sphynx (Valenciennes, 1836). SSD varied more among populations than among species and Rensch’s rule was confirmed within two species. It is not likely that the variation among populations in SSD mirrors genetic variation, as many of the populations were in close proximity of one another, with a high potential for genetic exchange. This study complements larger scale analyses of other taxa and demonstrates the fine scale on which evolutionary processes responsible for Rensch’s rule may be operating.

Abstract:

Two new sympatric chaenopsid blennies, Emblemariopsis carib and E. arawak, are described from coral reefs in Puerto Rico and the adjacent U.S. Virgin Islands. These species have been considered Flagfin Blennies, E. signifer (usually as E. signifera), which was originally described from mainland Brazil. However, COI mtDNA sequencing shows that despite their close resemblance, the three species are genetically distant from each other: E. carib is 13.34% sequence divergent from Brazilian E. signifer, E. arawak is 13.68% sequence divergent from E. signifer, and the two sympatric Caribbean species are 13.24% divergent from each other (minimum interspecific distance). These distances represent well over 1 million years of isolation, even with the highest estimate of the mitochondrial mutation rate of chaenopsid blennies. E. carib and E. arawak are smaller species than E. signifer, differing by fewer dorsal and anal fin rays in E. carib and some subtle morphology and marking patterns, such as the white spots on the head found only on the Brazilian Flagfin Blenny (in vivo). High variability in morphology and markings within Emblemariopsis species makes it difficult to isolate diagnostic differences, which may occur in live coloration only. Underwater macro-photography is necessary to document variations in live color and markings indispensable to species identifications. The combination of DNA sequencing with underwater photography is an example of how new techniques can provide the resolution necessary to delineate cryptic species that differ only slightly in appearance and plague the taxonomy of some families of coral reef fishes. Barcode DNA sequences of Emblemariopsis species from the region reveal that the genus is made up of a number of species, closely related cryptic species, and undefined lineages in the western Atlantic which do not conform with the incompletely described species in the literature. The degree of sequence divergence between species is widely varying within the genus: species with clear morphological and meristic differences, such as E. pricei and E. bahamensis, are only 0.77% divergent in the barcode sequence (presumably consistent with recent speciation), while other species are up to 20% sequence divergent. Flagfin Blenny specimens from Barbados form a separate clade from the E. carib types, but differ by only 0.62% in barcode sequence; the taxonomic status of this lineage and others from the region remain uncertain without further sampling. The genus Emblemariopsis is an exemplary case for the utility of DNA-barcode matching and underwater photography for distinguishing species: there are numerous widespread and local species (and lineages) that can share morphology and meristics, females and juveniles of related species can appear almost identical, males and females look very different, markings are commonly shared among species and vary between individuals (and can be lost in formalin preservation), and museum collections are incomplete.

Abstract:

We used a multi-locus phylogenetic approach (i.e., combining both mitochondrial and nuclear DNA fragments) to address some long-standing taxonomic inconsistencies within the diverse fish clade of Combtooth Blennies (Blenniidae—unranked clade Almadablennius). The obtained phylogenetic trees revealed some major inconsistencies in the current taxonomy of Parablennini, such as the paraphyletic status of the Salaria and Parablennius genera, casting some doubt regarding their actual phylogenetic relationship. Furthermore, a scarce-to-absent genetic differentiation was observed among the three species belonging to the genus Chasmodes. This study provides an updated taxonomy and phylogeny of the former genus Salaria, ascribing some species to the new genus Salariopsis gen. nov., and emphasizes the need for a revision of the genus Parablennius.

Abstract:

Blenniidae adalah famili ikan yang ditemukan di ekosistem pesisir seperti zona intertidal. Gunung Kidul memiliki banyak pantai kars dengan kesamaan dalam kondisi dan formasi geologi. Keanekagaman dan histologi Blenniidae di Gunung Kidul, terutama di Pantai Krakal, masih belum banyak dipelajari. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui morfometri serta struktur histologi respirasi anggota famili Blenniidae yang ditemukan di pantai Krakal. Penelitian ini dilakukan di pantai Krakal dengan metode pengambilan sampel bebas. Sampel kemudian dibawa ke Laboratorium Struktur Perkembangan Hewan untuk diukur dan dibedah. Sebanyak 3 spesies dengan masing-masing 5 sampel ditemukan di zona intertidal pantai Krakal. Dari pengamatan morfometrik, ditemukan bahwa Istiblennius edentulus dengan Istiblennius dussumeri memiliki rata-rata rasio morfometri yang berbeda sementara Istiblennius lineatus memiliki rata-rata rasio morfometri yang sama dengan Istiblennius edentulus dan Istiblennius dussumeri. Hasil pengamatan struktur histologis insang tidak menunjukan adanya perbedaan jaringan penyusun insang antar spesies ikan, yang tersusun oleh lamella primer (1), lamella sekunder (2), sel eritrosit (3), sel pilar (4), sel epitel (5), sel mukus (6), dan sel klorit (7). Struktur insang tiap spesies ikan ini sesuai dengan kondisi habitat berupa udara terbuka sehingga dapat memperluas area respirasi dan menyimpan air di dalam insang.
