摘要:

䲗科鱼类广泛分布于全球的温带至热带海域, 许多物种为重要的经济或观赏鱼类。在本研究中, 我们通过形态学与线粒体COI分子标记鉴定, 确认了来自广东省阳江市海陵岛近海的红身䲗记录, 为该物种在中国海域的首次报道。与同域分布的其他䲗科鱼类相比, 该种的特征包括: 雄性第一背鳍扩大, 第二至第四枚鳍棘丝状延长, 第四鳍棘显著延长; 背鳍、尾鳍和腹鳍具独特的棕色网纹; 体背侧棕红色, 腹侧白色, 两色间具锯齿状分界线, 分界线上方至侧线间密布细小白点, 体侧具较大的白色斑点, 背鳍基部具白色鞍状斑。本研究得到的COI基因长度为1521bp, 与新加坡报道的红身䲗遗传距离为0.002, 为种内差异。本研究不仅为中国䲗科鱼类增加了一个新纪录种, 也为我国的海洋鱼类生物多样性调查提供了新的数据。

Abstract:

The Callionymidae are a group of fishes widely distributed in temperate to tropical marine waters worldwide, many of which are important commercial or ornamental fish. In this study, we confirm the presence of the smallhead dragonet, Callionymus erythraeus Ninni 1934, in the coastal waters of Hailing Island, Yangjiang, Guangdong Province, China, via morphological and molecular identification based on the mitochondrial COI marker. It represents the first record of this species from Chinese waters. Compared to other co-occurring species within the family, this species can be distinguished by several unique morphological characteristics. Males possess an enlarged first dorsal fin, with spines Ⅱ-Ⅳ filamentous, among which the fourth spine is notably the longest. The dorsal, caudal, and pelvic fins exhibit distinctive brown reticulate patterns. The body is reddish-brown on the dorsolateral side, transitioning sharply to white on the ventral side along a jagged boundary. Numerous small white spots are densely scattered between the upper boundary and the lateral line, while large white spots are present on the flanks. White, saddle-shaped blotches are visible at the base of the dorsal fin. The COI gene sequence obtained from the study is 1521 bp in length, with a genetic distance of 0.002 from the C. erythraeus reported from Singapore, indicating intraspecific variation. Our findings not only add a new species to the checklist of Chinese dragonets but also contribute to the understanding of the country’s marine fish biodiversity.

Key words: smallhead dragonet, newly recorded species, Syngnathiformes, COI barcoding, China
