Commercially important sea cucumbers of the world.
FAO Species Catalogue for Fishery Purposes. No. 6. Rome, FAO. 2012. 150 pp. 30 colour plates.
ABSTRACT
Sea cucumbers are harvested and traded in more than 70 countries worldwide. They are exploited in industrialized, semi-industrialized and artisanal fisheries in polar regions, temperate zones and throughout the tropics. In some fisheries, more than 20 species can be exploited by fishers. The processed animals are exported mostly to Asian markets and need to be distinguished to species level by customs and trade officers. This book is intended as an identification tool for fishery managers, scientists, trade officers and industry workers to distinguish various species exploited and traded worldwide. This book provides identification information on 58 species of sea cucumbers that are commonly exploited around the world. There are many other species that are exploited either in a small number of localities or in relatively small quantities, which are not presented. Species in some regions with active fisheries are also not represented due to limited information available (e.g. Mediterranean species). The accounts are based on more than 170 reports and research articles and by comments and reviews by taxonomists and field workers. Two-page identification sheets provide sufficient information to allow readers to distinguish each species from other similar species, both in the live and processed (dried) forms. Where available, the following information for each species has been included: nomenclature together with FAO names and known common names used in different countries and regions; scientific illustrations of the body and ossicles; descriptions of ossicles present in different body parts; a colour photograph of live and dried specimens; basic information on size, habitat, biology, fisheries, human consumption, market value and trade; geographic distribution maps. The volume is fully indexed and contains an introduction, a glossary, and a dedicated bibliography. Readers are encouraged to base their identifications on a combination of morphological features, samples of ossicles from different body parts and information on what habitat and locality the species was found.

Lampreys of the world. An annotated and illustrated catalogue of lamprey species known to date.
FAO Species Catalogue for Fishery Purposes. No. 5. Rome, FAO. 2011. 109 pp.
ABSTRACT
Lampreys are aquatic, jawless vertebrates belonging to the Order Petromyzontiformes. The order comprises 39 species widely distributed in the Northern and Southern hemispheres, but virtually absent in the intervening tropical zone. There is one family in the Northern Hemisphere (Petromyzontidae) comprising 35 species and two families in the Southern Hemisphere (Geotriidae and Mordaciidae) comprising, respectively, one and three species. Lampreys undergo a radical metamorphosis from the larval to the adult form. While lamprey larvae (ammocoetes) of all species are very similar in their habits (filter–feeding on microorganisms in a freshwater habitat), the adults vary considerably in their mode of life. Some are parasitic and anadromous, others parasitic but restricted to fresh water, while still others are nonparasitic (non–feeding) and restricted to fresh water. The taxonomic characters used to describe ammocoetes and adults are fully explained and illustrated. A key to adults and a partial key to larvae are presented. This catalogue provides an account for each of the 39 species. Each species account gives information on the taxonomy including synonyms, common names, diagnostic features of ammocoetes and adults (with drawings of the adult body and oral disc), habitat and biology, geographic distribution (with map), interest to fisheries and references.

ABSTRACT
This is a worldwide catalogue of the family Merlucciidae. Two subfamilies, Macruroninae and Merlucciinae, arerecognized comprising four genera, Lyconodes, Lyconus, Macruronus and Merluccius, and 18 species. Thefollowing subspecies are proposed: Macruronus novaezelandiae magellanicus Lönnberg, 1907; Merlucciusalbidus magnoculus Ginsburg, 1954, Merluccius australis polylepis Ginsburg, 1954 and Merluccius pollicadenati Doutre, 1960 and Merluccius merluccius smiridus Rafinesque, 1810. The possibility of one othersubspecies, Merluccius merluccius lessepsianus, represents the first record of Merluccius from the Red Sea.Merluccius paradoxus is first recorded from Madagascar.In the introductory chapters, Merlucciidae systematics is debated, justifications for the proposed taxonomicorganization are provided, and the characters used for the identifications are discussed.Dichotomous keys are provided in the systematics chapter, enabling the identification of the hakes to the specieslevel. Subfamilies and genera are also defined. The species are arranged in alphabetical order under each subfamilyand genus to which they belong. The scientific name appears in bold at the head of each genus and speciesdescription, followed by the author, year of first description, and publication. Existing synonyms and FAO commonnames in English, French and Spanish are also provided. For each species there is an illustration followed by tensections: description or diagnosis with differential characters; additional information; geographical distribution;habitat and biology; size; fisheries; fishery statistics; state of resources; local names, if any; and bibliographicalreferences (author and year).The review is completed by a series of colour plates showing details of different elements (heads, otoliths,hyomandibulars, urohyals) for a quick and efficient diagnosis of the genera and species of Lyconus, Macruronusand Merluccius. |

ABSTRACT
Éste es un catálogo mundial de la familia Merlucciidae. Se presentan dos subfamilias: Macruroninae y Merlucciinae, con cuatro géneros: Lyconodes, Lyconus, Macruronus y Merluccius, debidamente comentadas e ilustradas que incluyen 18 especies. Se proponen las siguientes subespecies: Macruronus novaezelandiae magellanicus Lönnberg, 1907, Merluccius albidus magnoculus Ginsburg, 1954, Merluccius australis polylepis Ginsburg, 1954, Merluccius polli cadenati Doutre, 1960 y Merluccius merluccius smiridus Rafinesque, 1810, así como la posibilidad de la existencia de otra, Merluccius merluccius lessepsianus, que constituiría la primera cita del género Merluccius en el Mar Rojo. Igualmente se lleva a cabo el primer registro de Merluccius paradoxus en Madagascar. En los capítulos introductorios se debate la sistemática de Merlucciidae, justificando la organización taxonómica propuesta, y se discute sobre los caracteres usados para la identificación. En el capítulo sistemático se presentan las claves dicotómicas que permiten identificar los organismos tratados aquí hasta el nivel de especie. Se definen también las subfamilias y los géneros. La descripción de las especies se encabeza con el nombre científico, el autor de la primera descripción y el año de la misma, así como el lugar donde se publicó. Inmediatamente después, si existen, sus sinónimos y los nombres FAO en español, francés e inglés. A continuación se presenta una ilustración de la especie a la que siguen diez apartados: descripción o diagnosis, según el caso, con las características diferenciales, notas complementarias, distribución geográfica (acompañada de un mapa), hábitat y biología, talla, pesquería, nombres locales, si los tiene y, finalmente, las referencias bibliográficas (autor y año), utilizadas en cada caso. Finalmente, el trabajo se complementa con una serie de láminas en color que muestran aspectos y detalles de diferentes elementos (cabezas, otolitos, hiomandibulares, urohiales), que, en conjunto, permiten un rápido y eficaz diagnóstico de las especies de los géneros Lyconus, Macruronus y Merluccius. |

ABSTRACT
The present publication is intended to provide as complete an enumeration as possible of the species of Decapoda Natantia (shrimps and prawns) that are of interest to fisheries. This catalogue includes: (i) all species known to be used for human consumption, (ii) species known to be sold for bait and as sub-products, (iii) species not commercially exploited at present but considered by experts to be of potential commercial value. The last category includes deep-sea forms which during exploratory fishing cruises found to be sufficiently abundant, large enough in size, and sufficiently accessible to fishing gear so that a fishery for them might be profitable. Edible species found in markets as an admixture to the main catch are included, even if they only make up a negligible percentage of the catch. The information pertaining to each species is arranged by paragraphs, as follows: (1) synonymy, (2) vernacular names, (3) literature, (4) distribution, (5) habitat, (6) size, (7) interest to fisheries, and (8) remarks. |
