Abstract DNA metabarcoding is an important tool for molecular ecology. However, its effectiveness hinges on the quality of reference sequence databases and classification parameters employed. Here we evaluate performance MiFish 12S taxonomic assignments using a case study California Current Large Marine Ecosystem fishes to determine best practices metabarcoding. Specifically, use taxonomy cross‐validation by identity framework compare between global database comprised all available sequences...
Museum fish collections possess a wealth of anatomical and morphological data that are essential for documenting understanding biodiversity. Obtaining access to specimens research, however, is not always practical frequently conflicts with the need maintain physical integrity collection as whole. Non-invasive three-dimensional (3D) digital imaging therefore serves critical role in facilitating digitization these analysis well an efficient method online storage sharing this data. Here we...
Significance Body shape is a strong predictor of habitat occupation in fishes, which changes rapidly at microevolutionary scales well-studied freshwater systems such as sticklebacks and cichlids. Deep-bodied forms tend to occur benthic habitats, while pelagic species typically have streamlined body plans. The recurrent evolution this pattern across distantly related groups suggests that limited sets high-fitness solutions exist due environmental constraints. We rigorously test these...
Schindleria brevipinguis n.sp., from the Lizard Island-Carter Reef vicinity of Great Barrier Reef, Australia and Osprey nearby in Coral Sea, is a small, unpigmented gobioid species distinctive having fewer dorsal- anal-fin rays deeper body with larger eyes than other described species, S. pietschmanni praematura. The urogenital papilla male brevipinguishas markedly different shape those two species. apparently provides an even more extreme example paedomorphosis its congeners, males maturing...
The genus Porichthys in the Pacific Ocean consists of eight species: P. analis Hubbs and Schultz (1939), ephippiatus n. sp., greenei Gilbert Starks (1904), margaritatus (Richardson, 1844), mimeticus myriaster notatus Girard (1854) oculellus sp. Characters useful for identification include gill-raker counts, fin pigmentation, photophore pattern fin-ray counts. original type is presumed lost a neotype designated. Zoogeographic range endpoints these customarily soft-bottom fishes generally...
Abstract Giant kelp ( Macrocystis pyrifera ) forests are common along the California coast. Attached on rocky bottom at depths of approximately 5–25 m, kelp, when mature, spans water column and develops dense, buoyant canopies that interact with waves currents. We present two novel results based observations surface gravity in a forest Point Loma, California. First, we report short wave (1–3 s) attenuation quantified by an exponential decay coefficient —comparable to dampening effect sea...
The first comprehensive list of 318 coastal fish species recorded from the Islas Marías Archipelago, Mexico, was compiled recent fieldwork, archival museum collections, and literature references. jacks (Carangidae, 18 species) labrisomid blennies (Labrisomidae, 16) were most speciose families. Most occur throughout tropical eastern Pacific (160 species), while a significant proportion have wider ranges in (39), Indo-Pacific Atlantic (3), or are circumtropical (39) distribution. Three...
A total of 2,206 base pairs coding sequences mitochondrial DNA from nine 10 lutjanine (Lutjanidae) species endemic to the eastern Pacific Ocean were used in a phylogenetic analysis infer relationships among lutjanines on either side Isthmus Panama.

Two new species of the deep-sea fish genus Pseudoscopelus are described, P. lavenbergi from eastern Pacific, and bothrorrhinos western Pacific Indian Oceans. A diagnosis for based on two synapomorphies is proposed: dorsal margin orbit formed by infraorbital 6; last pore canal edge orbit, anterior to middle pupil. Twelve considered valid, with microps confirmed as a junior synonym altipinnis, stellatus regarded inquerida.

C, ORAL reefs provide one of the commonest, but nonetheless distinctive, types coast in tropical seas. The importance to man these organically formed has long been recognized, almost entirely an indirect relationship; direct use coral itself rarely considered. best-known is probably as jewelry, which, along with supposed magical and medicinal powers coral, helped foster early intercontinental trade. In recent years less romantic uses have developed. During World War II was dredged from...

The marine waters surrounding La Jolla, California have a diverse array of habitats and include several protected areas (MPAs). We compiled list the fish species occurring in vicinity based on records specimens archived Marine Vertebrate Collection (MVC) Scripps Institution Oceanography (SIO). fishes from Jolla MVC started 1905, but greatly accelerated 1944 when Carl L. Hubbs moved to SIO. By 1964, 90% 265 recorded area had been collected MVC. are dominated by whose center distribution is...

A new species of stichaeid fish referable to the genus Lumpenopsis Soldatov is described based on two specimens from Southern California.
