Taxonomic review and DNA barcoding of the fish genus Peristedion (Scorpaeniformes: Peristediidae)

Abstract

魴鮄科下之黃魴鮄屬物種為台灣底拖常見魚種。過去僅記錄有三個種。本研究針對分類及分子鑑定，共計確認有四種台灣產黃魴鮄，包含光黃魴鮄、尼氏黃魴鮄、東方黃魴鮄以及一新紀錄種鈍頰黃魴鮄。本文並提供各種鑑別特徵及彩色圖片，以及台灣產四種之檢索資料。The peristiid fishes of genus ＂Peristedion＂ are commonly collected using bottom trawls in Taiwan, yet only three species have been previously reported from Taiwan. A survey on the taxonomy and DNA barcoding revealed that four species are present in Taiwanese waters, namely ＂Peristedion liorhynchus＂, ＂P. nierstraszi＂, and ＂P. orientale＂, as well as a new record, ＂P. amblygenys＂. Diagnosis and color photos of each species are provided along with a key for distinguishing these four species.
