Atlas of marine bony fish otoliths (sagittae) of Southeastern-Southern Brazil Part VI: Albuliformes, Anguiliformes, Osmeriformes, Stomiiformes, Aulopiformes, Myctophiformes, Ophidiiformes, Polimixiiformes, Batrachoidiformes and Lophiformes

Abstract

This publication is part of a series that will constitute an Atlas of Teleostei Otoliths of the Southeastern-Southern Brazilian region. In this article, we present the results of sagittae's morphologic and morphometric analyses from fishes remaining to the orders: Albuliformes (one species), Anguiliformes (four), Osmeriformes (one), Stomiiformes (one), Aulopiformes (five), Myctophiformes (nine), Ophidiiformes (three), Polimixiiformes (one), Batrachoidiformes (one) and Lophiformes (three). Features, measurements and indices were analyzed according to methodology used in anterior series. Whenever possible three otoliths of each species have been illustrated and photographed. The frequency of occurrence of each characteristic was calculated by total length classes (TL) and differences within and among them have been analyzed applying multiple χ² test (significance 0.05). AbstrActDescriptors: Teleost, Otolith, Morphology, Morphometry, Southwestern Atlantic, Brazil.Esta publicação é sequência de uma série que constituirá um Atlas de Otólitos de Teleostei da região Sudeste-Sul brasileira. Neste artigo são apresentados resultados de análises morfológicas e morfométricas dos sagittae de peixes pertencentes às ordens: Albuliformes (uma espécie), Anguiliformes (quatro), Osmeriformes (uma), Stomiiformes (uma), Aulopiformes (cinco), Myctophiformes (nove), Ophidiiformes (três), Polimixiiformes (uma), Batrachoidiformes (uma) e Lophiformes (três). Foram analisadas feições, medidas e índices usualmente empregados conforme metodologia apresentada nas séries anteriores. Três otólitos de cada espécie foram desenhados e fotografados, sempre que possível. A frequência de ocorrên-cia de cada característica por classe de comprimento total foi calculada (CT) e as diferenças dentro de cada classe e entre elas foram analisadas aplicando o Teste χ² múltiplo (significância 0,05).

Atlas of marine bony fish otoliths of Southeastern-Southern Brazil Part VIII: Siluriformes (Ariidae) and Pleuronectiformes (Achiridae, Paralichthyidae, Cynoglossidae)

“…Nowadays our collection contains around 52,000 pairs of otoliths related to 24 orders, 66 families and 202 species ). Also we have been developing a series of papers providing a permanent visual record of otoliths from the Southeastern-Southern Brazilian coast: ROSSI-WONGTSCHOWSKI et al (2014), SILIPRANDI et al (2016), BRENHA-NUNES et al (2016) and two other: SANTIFICETUR et al 2017and GIARETTA et al 2017GIARETTA et al, 2017 being this volume the last part of the series. Herein, we present the features, measurements and related shape indices of Siluriformes and Pleuronectiformes otoliths.…”

Otolith atlas for marine fishes of the southwestern Atlantic occurring along southern Brazil (28° S-34° S)

“…In Brazil, diverse published papers included the description of a large number of otoliths from southern and southeastern Brazil including Bastos (1990), Abilhôa and Corrêa (1992), Corrêa and Vianna (1993) and Lemos et al (1992Lemos et al ( , 1995. More recently, Rossi-Wongtschowski et al (2014), Brenha-Nunes et al (2016), Siliprandi et al (2016), Giaretta et al (2017), Conversani et al (2017) and Santificetur et al (2017aSantificetur et al ( , 2017b, described otoliths of different orders of teleosts that, together, constitutes an atlas.…”
