Description of four new records and a key to the stromateiod fishes in Taiwan

Abstract

本研究描述近期採集或發現的四種臺灣鯧亞目之新紀錄魚種，並提供臺灣產四科十一種鯧亞目魚類之檢索表。其中日本櫛鯧（長鯧科）、少鰭方頭鯧（圓鯧科）及短鰭無齒鯧（無齒鯧科）之檢證標本，確認其在臺灣周邊海域之預期分布：柯氏方頭鯧的地理分布則由熱帶西太平洋向北延伸至臺灣。少鰭方頭鯧及柯氏方頭鯧罕見於底拖網漁獲物中：日本櫛鯧及短鰭無齒鯧則為偶見的市場魚種。The four newly recorded stromateiod fishes from waters adjacent to Taiwan are described on the basis of recently collected or discovered specimens, and a key to the four families and 11 species of the Stromateiodei in Taiwan is provided. Among them, vouchers of the Hyperoglyphe japonica (Centrolophidae), Cubiceps pauciradiatus (Nomeidae) and Ariomma brevimanum (Ariommatidae) confirmed the expected distribution in Taiwan, and Cubiceps kotlyari, with an extended distribution from the western tropical Pacific northward to Taiwan. C. pauciradiatus and C. kotlyari were rarely seen in the demersal trawling catches, whereas H. japonica and A. brevimanum were found occasionally at fish markets in Taiwan.
