DNA barcode, sex ratio, and phenotypic characters of the Poso Lake (Sulawesi) endemic Mugilogobius sarasinorum (Boulenger, 1897)

Abstract

Five species of marine fishes are observed from Réunion for the first time, and the occurrence of two species is confirmed, observed during a faunal inventory under the OBJECTIF 1000 program. Marine fishes were observed and collected off Réunion Island (France) with bottom longlines and traps in the upper bathyal zone at 1,000 m depth during a faunal inventory under the OBJECTIF 1000 program. Four species represent first records for the island: Etmopterus granulosus (Günther 1880) (Etmopteridae), Nemichthys scolopaceus Richardson 1848 (Nemichthyidae), Coelorinchus trunovi Iwamoto & Anderson 1994 (Macrouridae), and Lepidion natalensis Gilchrist 1922 (Moridae). Two species represent confirmed records for the island: Hexanchus griseus (Bonnaterre 1788) (Hexanchidae), Centroscymnus owstonii Garman 1906 (Somniosidae). New depth records are provided for C. trunovi and L. natalensis (1,000 m depth). More thorough sampling efforts would probably result in additional species never before observed in Réunion.
