Abstract:
... A new species of the eyeless goby genus Caecogobius is described from a cave system on Mindanao Island, the Philippines. Caecogobius personatus sp. nov. is the second cave-obligate fish ever discovered from the Philippine archipelago. The first species, Caecogobius cryptophthalmus Berti and Ercolini 1991 was recorded from Samar Island, an adjacent island north of Mindanao. The new species differs ...

Abstract:
... Concordant with stock increase, Japanese anchovy Engraulis japonicus seems to expand its spawning ground northward from subtropical waters along the Kuroshio Current to subarctic waters affected by the Oyashio Current. However, the description of the northern expansion is still insufficient because quantitative analysis on distribution density of eggs and larvae has not been made and the mechanism ...

Abstract:
... Sablefish Anoplopoma fimbria support a lucrative fishery in the Gulf of Alaska, but their numbers have been declining despite a regulated fishery. Recruitment in A. fimbria is poorly understood due to its unusual early life history relative to many other deep-water fishes. Developmental patterns can identify critical periods during ontogeny that influence foraging and swimming abilities among indi ...
