Fish associated with Australian saltmarshes have previously been sampled fi-om within creeks or semi-permanent pools on the marsh; this is the first record of fish use of marsh flats inundated on high tides but emergent on low tides. Buoyant pop nets (9 m^ 1 mm mesh) were used to collect fish from two areas of the marsh flat on Torrens Island in the Barker Inlet-Port River estuary. South Austra...

Malagasy sicydiine gobies are reviewed, compared with other members of the subfamily in the Mascarene region, and a new species belonging to the genus Sicyopterus Gill, 1860 is described on the basis of material collected in northeastern Madagascar. The new species differs from Sicyopterus franouxi (Pellegrin, 1935), the only other known species of sicydiine goby inhabiting the freshwaters of M...

We describe here the first fossil otoliths from the Middle Miocene (Badenian and Sarmatian) of Belgrade, Serbia. They were obtained from Lower Badenian outcrops at Slanci and from upper Badenian and Sarmatian sediments recovered from four shallow wells near the village of Barajevo. The otoliths from the Lower Badenian of Slanci represent fishes typical for an open marine environment, characteri...

This study is the first to complete an intensive and comprehensive list of the ichthyofauna of nearly all ecosystems of the Michoacán coast, Mexico. The resulting systematic checklist, supplemented with information from the literature and scientific collections, comprises 440 species belonging to two classes, 31 orders, 104 families, and 264 genera. The families with the highest number of speci...

The circumtropical gobiid genus Bathygobius Bleeker is defined and three Eastern Pacific species are redescribed, with first dorsal fin pattern and postorbital blotches being shown to be additional characters of diagnostic value. Two mainland species are recognised, the Mexican-Panamanian B. ramosus Ginsburg 1947 and the Panamanian B. andrei (Sauvage 1880). B. ramosus is now reported from Clari...

Condition factor of fish species is very important parameter for understanding fish biology and pathology. For that purpose, we sampled 120 fish individuals from the Sava River at four locations (Posavina region), where most of them belongs to the Cyprinidae family while the others belonging to the families: Percidae, Siluridae, Ameiuridae, Esocidae and Gobiidae. In total fish sample we found t...
