A new Eocene catostomid genus and species, †Plesiomyxocyprinus arratiae, is described from Huadian, Jilin Province, northeastern China. The materials include a nearly complete skeleton, dozens of pharyngeal bones with teeth, and a number of disarticulated bones. The new articulated specimen is large-sized and deep-bodied, with an estimated standard length of ca. 300 mm and body depth of 156 mm or about half of its standard length. The assignment of the fish to the Catostomidae is based on its falciform pharyngeal bone with one row of numerous (more than 50) compressed teeth, and the bone is much smaller than in cyprinids, especially given the size of the fish. The new fish distinguishes itself from all known catostomids (both extinct and extant) in its long anal fin with four unbranched and 17-18 branched rays, and its extremely short caudal peduncle that is only about one fourth of its depth. †Plesiomyxocyprinus arratiae resembles the Eocene-Oligocene transpacific-distributed †Amyzon in many general skeletal characters. However, it shows a few characters uniquely shared with the Recent catostomid Myxocyprinus asiaticus. Those include a very long dorsal fin with about 50 branched fin rays, the end of dorsal fin rays being close to the caudal fin base, and anal rays stretching posteriorly beyond the base of caudal fin. It is the first fossil catostomid that shows a close relationship to the endemic Myxocyprinus now living in the Yangtze River and Minjiang River, China. The discovery of †Plesiomyxocyprinus arratiae, along with two previously described possible catostomid genera †Jianghanichthys and †Vasnetzovia, may indicate that the divergence of the Catostomidae started much earlier, in the middle Eocene or earlier, on the western side of the Pacific than on its eastern side.a new catostomid genus, Eocene, northeastern China, early divergence

“…Species not listed as sport or game fish were, by default, classified as “nongame” or “commercial.” A few invasive species such as the Common Carp Cyprinus carpio were included as nongame, but this group was mostly native species, including the gars (Lepisosteidae), Bowfin Amia calva , Freshwater Drum Aplodinotus grunniens , and numerous sucker (Catostomidae) species, including buffalofishes Ictiobus spp., redhorses Moxostoma spp., and carpsuckers Carpiodes spp. These are native fish taxa long established in the North American fossil record as part of the diversity of aquatic ecosystems (gars: Cretaceous, Wiley 1978; Bowfin: Cretaceous, Grande and Bemis 1998; Catostomidae, Late Cretaceous–Eocene, Bagley et al 2018; Ictiobus : Pliocene, Alvarado‐Ortega et al 2006). Despite their ancient lineages and important contributions to aquatic community biodiversity and ecosystem function (Scarnecchia 1992; Cooke et al 2005), many of these same fishes have been taken and thrown away, and sometimes destroyed indiscriminately.…”

The Sport Fish Restoration Program (SFR) has been a stable and highly successful funding program supporting state fisheries research, propagation, and management activities since its inception in 1950. The expanding sport of bowfishing in the past 2 decades, and research over a comparable time period showing very long lifespans of underappreciated native fish species, opens the door to some new ways to classify, manage, and fund monitoring of these natives under the SFR program, while encouraging sport and commercial take of invasives. Evidence from bowfishing and from changes in angling patterns for some nongame species indicates that the time has come to consider reclassifying underappreciated native species into some form of sport status (entirely separate from non‐native invasives) and thereby potentially expanding the scope of species projects financed with SFR funds. Reclassification will also function to upgrade the status of underappreciated native species taken within agencies, with bowfishers and anglers, and with the public. It then opens the door to improved, and necessary, monitoring of inland commercial fisheries (often targeting the same species), an activity which has needed improvement and a reliable funding source for decades. We suggest that our approach is a comparatively straightforward one that is scientifically defensible and implementable within the existing state–federal management jurisdictions and institutions.

“…This geological unit is composed of sandstone and poorly cemented con- glomerate, poorly cemented sandstone and interleaved clay, layers of clay, some layers of basalt interspersed with detrital units, lightly compacted conglomerate lenses, insulated limestone lenses, thin lenses of volcanic ash and tuff, and caliche nodules tuff, tuff-breccia, fluvial volcanic gravel, and thin pumice layers (Bryan 1948;Cervantes-Medel and Armienta 2004;Ferrusquía-Villafranca et al 2017).

Fishes are a paraphyletic group composed by craniates except for the four-limbed clade Tetrapoda. This group was the only vertebrate representative until the Devonian but now comprises almost half of the vertebrate species, dominating nearly all aquatic environments. The fossil record is the key to understand the ancient paleobiodiversity and the patterns that lead the modern fish fauna, and paleontological collections play a fundamental role in providing accommodation, maintenance, and access to the specimens and their respective metadata. Here we present a systematic checklist of fossil fishes housed in the type collection of the Colección Nacional de Paleontología which is located at the Instituto de Geología of Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Currently housed in the type collection are 14 chondrichthyan specimens, belonging to two superorders, five orders, seven families, 10 genera, and five nominal species, and 361 osteichthyan specimens, belonging to eight orders, nine families, nine genera, and 26 nominal species. These fossils come from 32 localities and 15 geological units, which range temporally from the Jurassic to the Pleistocene. The paleoichthyofauna housed in the type collection of the Colección Nacional de Paleontología is remarkable for its singularity and reveals new insights about the origin and diversification of many groups of fishes. The recovery and curation of this fossil material indicates that knowledge of Mexican fossil fish diversity and its role in understanding lower vertebrate evolution are just emerging and reaffirms the importance of the biological and paleontological collections to the future biodiversity research.
