“…Epinephelus akaara is distributed in the south coast of Korea, Jeju-do, Japan, and China (Kim et al, 2005). The Serranidae are currently an economically important taxonomic group, with high industrial value, and several studies on the technical development of their stock production have been done (Heemstra & Randall, 1993; Froese & Pauly, 2014). …”

This study was conducted in order to examine the egg development in red spotted grouper, Epinephelus akaaraand the morphological development of its larvae and juveniles, and to obtain data for taxonomic research. This study was conducted in June 2013, and 50 male and female fish were used for the study. One hundred μg/kg of LHRHa was injected into the body of the fish for inducing spawning, and the fish were kept in a small-sized fish holder (2×2×2 m). Eggs were colorless transparent free pelagic eggs, 0.71–0.77 mm large (mean 0.74±0.02 mm, n=30), and had an oil globule. Hatching started within 27 h after fertilization. Pre-larvae that emerged just after hatching were 2.02–2.17 mm in total length (mean 2.10±0.11 mm), their mouth and anus were not opened yet, and the whole body was covered with a membrane fin. Post-larvae that emerged 15 days post hatching were 3.88–4.07 mm in total length (mean 3.98±0.13 mm), and had a ventral fin with two rays and a caudal fin with eight rays. Juveniles that were formed at 55 d post hatching, were 31.9–35.2 mm in total length (mean 33.6±2.33 mm), with red color deposited over the entire body, and black chromophores deposited in a spotted pattern. The number of fin rays, body color, and shape were the same as that in the adult fish.

“…Epinephelus fuscoguttatus belongs to Epinephelus, Epinephelinae, Serranidae, Percoidei, Perciformers, Actinopterygii [19][20] , and is distributed in subtropical and tropical seas. It has the characteristics of fast growth, large specifications, delicious taste and rich nutrition, and very high economic value, and is one of the rare marine economic fishes [21] .…”

Background: Epinephelus fuscoguttatus is one of the rare marine economic fishes with high economic value. At present, the researches on grouper mainly focus on artificial propagation, physiology and biochemistry, diseases and so on. However, there are few reports on mitochondrial genome level. The research aimed to analyze composition characteristics and usage preference of codon of mitochondrial genome in E. fuscoguttatus, and explored main factors of affecting the formation of codon preference, thereby providing theoretical basis for studying species evolution, genetics and breeding, and improving expression efficiency of exogenous genes. Results: GC content of mitochondrial genome of E. fuscoguttatus changed between 44.00% and 46.30%, with 45.40% of mean. Change range of CAI value was between 0.125 and 0.202, and the mean was 0.155. Effective number of codons (ENC) changed between 36.08 and 49.55, with 44.98 of mean. There were 32 codons that relative synonymous codon usage (RSCU) was more than 1, mainly ended with A/C. ENC-plot analysis found that all the genes were in the lower middle of the standard curve, and there was larger difference between actual and theoretical ENC, illustrating that codon bias was mainly affected by the choice. Correspondence analysis showed that the first axis contributed 58.85% of the difference, while the second, third and fourth axes contributed 14.59%, 7.66% and 5.43% of the difference respectively. Cumulative contribution rate of the first four vectors was 85.53%. Finally, nine optimal codons were selected: CUU, AUC, GUU, CCU, GCA, UAU, CGC, AGC and GGC.Conclusions: Codon usage preference of mitochondrial genome of E. fuscoguttatus was weak, and it preferred to use A/C terminated codon, and preference was mainly influenced by choice.

An historical account is given for the ichthyological research at St. Croix, U. S. Virgin Islands, followed by an annotated list of 544 species of mostly marine shore fishes known or reported from the island to depths of 200 m. Color photographs are included for 103 of these species. Collections made at Buck Island Reef National Monument with the ichthyocide rotenone in 2001 and 2005 increased the known ichthyofauna by about 80 species. The rational for inclusion of each species in the checklist is given, with remarks for those species for which additional documentation or voucher specimens are needed. Reports of species known or presumed to have been based on misidentifications are discussed. Of the total marine fish fauna of the island, 404 species (75%) are restricted to the western Atlantic Ocean, (223 of these species are essentially Caribbean endemics that do not occur south of the Amazon River outflow), and no St. Croix endemic species are known. An additional 17 species (3.2%) also occur at mid-Atlantic islands, 57 species (10.6 %) are limited to both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, and 40 species (7.4%) have circumtropical distributions. The four most species-rich families are the Gobiidae (47 species), Serranidae (groupers and sea basses, 41), Labridae (wrasses and parrotfishes, 31), and Labrisomidae (scaly blennies, 27). Literature reports of Mosquitofish, Gambusia sp., from St. Croix apparently were based on misidentifications of a different introduced poeciliid genus. Four species of the amphidromus goby genus Sicydium occur in St. Croix inland waters, together with three established introduced species (one cichlid and two poeciliids). Also included are one catfish (Ictaluridae) and three sunfishes (Centrarchidae) known only from ponds. The Lionfish, Pterois volitans, the only introduced marine species, was first reported from St. Croix in 2008 and is now common despite control efforts.
