本研究记录了位于北纬19 ° 17'，东经166 ° 36'的维克环礁的64科321种鱼类。10种鱼类仅按属列出，1种按科列出;其中一些代表未描述的物种。1925年，福勒和鲍尔首次发表了威克鱼类的记录，列出了31科107种。本文更新了54个同义词，并纠正了20个在早期帐户中列出的错误识别。Myers在1999年发表的最新报告列出了33个科的122种鱼类。我们的实地调查为环礁增加了143个新的物种记录和22个新的家庭记录。动物地理学分析表明，最大的物种重叠威克岛环礁鱼类发生在马里亚纳群岛。威克岛上常见的几种鱼类被列入世界自然保护联盟的红色名录，或受到保护。威克环礁的鱼类种群受到保护，因为它是美国的军事基地，禁止商业捕鱼。
This study documents a total of 321 fishes in 64 families occurring at Wake Atoll, a coral atoll located at 19degree 17' N, 166degree 36' E. Ten fishes are listed by genus only and one by family; some of these represent undescribed species. The first published account of the fishes of Wake by Fowler and Ball in 1925 listed 107 species in 31 families. This paper updates 54 synonyms and corrects 20 misidentifications listed in the earlier account. The most recent published account by Myers in 1999 listed 122 fishes in 33 families. Our field surveys add 143 additional species records and 22 new family records for the atoll. Zoogeographic analysis indicates that the greatest species overlap of Wake Atoll fishes occurs with the Mariana Islands. Several fish species common at Wake Atoll are on the IUCN Red List or are otherwise of concern for conservation. Fish populations at Wake Atoll are protected by virtue of it being a U.S. military base and off limits to commercial fishing.
