“…The tropical Indo‐West Pacific is the largest and most speciose marine biogeographic region (Crandall & Riginos ). Of the 3919 reef fish species that occur in this region, 69.1% are widely distributed from the western Indian Ocean to the western Pacific (Allen ; Briggs & Bowen , ).…”

On evolutionary timescales, sea level oscillations lead to recurrent spatio-temporal variation in species distribution and population connectivity. In this situation, applying classical concepts of biogeography is challenging yet necessary to understand the mechanisms underlying biodiversity in highly diverse marine ecosystems such as coral reefs. We aimed at studying the outcomes of such complex biogeographic dynamics on reproductive isolation by sampling populations across a wide spatial range of a species-rich fish genus: the sergeants (Pomacentridae: Abudefduf). We generated a mutlilocus data set that included ten morpho-species from 32 Indo-West Pacific localities. We observed a pattern of mito-nuclear discordance in two common and widely distributed species: Abudefduf sexfasciatus and Abudefduf vaigiensis. The results showed three regional sublineages (Indian Ocean, Coral Triangle region, western Pacific) in A. sexfasciatus (0.6-1.5% divergence at cytb). The other species, A. vaigiensis, is polyphyletic and consists of three distinct genetic lineages (A, B and C) (9% divergence at cytb) whose geographic ranges overlap. Although A. vaigiensis A and A. sexfasciatus were found to be distinct based on nuclear information, A. vaigiensis A was found to be nested within A. sexfasciatus in the mitochondrial gene tree. A. sexfasciatus from the Coral Triangle region and A. vaigiensis A were not differentiated from each other at the mitochondrial locus. We then used coalescent-based simulation to characterize a spatially widespread but weak gene flow between the two species. We showed that these fishes are good candidates to investigate the evolutionary complexity of the discrepancies between phenotypic and genetic similarity in closely related species.

“…It is estimated that marine fish species that still have to be studied are about 5,000, or twice the amount described in the last 19 years, for an estimated number of about 21,800 species of valid marine fish. While the data of marine fish biodiversity in Indonesia is never explained in detail, and even marine biodiversity research is still concentrated on the study of a number of important fish species such as Grouper, shark (Prehadi et al, 2014), short body mackerel (Indaryanto et al, 2015) and tuna (Crandall & Riginos, 2014). Identification of marine fish, often difficult due to geographical and very difficult sampling location.…”

“…Studies in freshwater fish get enough attention either to their preparation of DNA barcode on the fish (Hubert et al, 2008;Hubert et al, 2012;Hubert et al, 2015).

Overview of Indonesia fisheries sector: Java and Bali island

Java and Bali is very important because development in Indonesia is still centered on the island of Java. Capture fisheries in Java Island and some parts of Western Indonesia have been overfishing and need to get serious attention, while in Central and Eastern Indonesia that still has abundant fishery resources it is necessary to manage so as not to experience similar things such as illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing activities. One of the efforts of marine resource management has been done is through the conservation area approach that is now beginning to feel the benefits. Nevertheless, the documentation of Indonesia's marine fishery resources is still very limited, especially at the level of molecular information. Therefore, there is a need for simultaneous research and study supported by all aspects.

With 11 species, the genus Chelidoperca is a small group of teleost fishes belonging to the Serranidae. They are bottom-dwelling fishes living on continental shelves/slopes in offshore areas or on remote seamounts/banks at depths ranging from around 40-400 m mostly in the tropical Indo-West Pacific. Over the past few years, efforts have been made to resolve the taxonomy of Chelidoperca, and subsequently four new species were described. However, these recent advances were made with a traditional approach (i.e., morphology) and limited examinable materials, usually preserved specimens, from ichthyological collections. Further investigations are still needed to address the gaps in our knowledge about their diversity, phylogeny, and biogeography. In this study, we collected 65 new samples, mainly during eight biodiversity expeditions carried out between 2007 and 2016 in the West Pacific under the Tropical Deep-Sea Benthos program. Specimens were photographed after collection to record fresh color patterns, which are essential for species diagnosis. Our analytical approach includes state-of-the-art DNA-based methods for species delimitation. The combined evidence from both molecular and morphological examinations, as well as other information such as geography, is used to test species validity. This reveals 15 species, including six new ones. We formally describe herein C. leucostigmata sp. nov., C. microdon sp. nov., and C. barazeri sp. nov. on the basis of specimens collected on Macclesfield Bank in the South China Sea, on the Chesterfield and Island of Pines plateau of New Caledonia, and off the New Ireland Province of Papua New Guinea, respectively. These new species are morphologically distinct from all other known species of Chelidoperca by body color pattern and combinations of a few identified characters. We also redescribe one of the lesser known species, C. lecromi, from fresh specimens collected close to its type locality Lee et al. Phylogeny and Diversity of Perchlets and a new site in the Coral Sea. The distributional records for this and other known species are updated accordingly. Genetic references of the species as well as an updated identification key to western Pacific species are also provided.
