9400842 McEachran The objectives of the proposed research are to survey and inventory the fish species that occur in the Gulf of Mexico, and to summarize these data in the form of a book on the fishes of the Gulf and as a computer data base. The proposed audience of the book is the scientists, students and fishers with interests in the fishes of this region, and the scientists and students studying biogeography of the Gulf and more inclusive areas. The computer data base will summarize the distributions of fishes from the Gulf residing in 10 major natural history collections. Specifically we propose to: 1) list, fully describe and distinguish from other species all of the species that occur in the Gulf; 2) provide pen and ink, pencil shaded illustrations of all species; 3) provided keys to all ordinal, familial and specific taxa that occur in the Gulf; 4) briefly summarize life history and distributional information of all species; 5) combine all of the information into a book on the fishes of the Gulf of Mexico; and 6) build a computer data base for all verified species records of the Gulf of Mexico. These objectives will be accomplished by surveying museums with specimens and the literature with references to fishes from the Gulf of Mexico. To data the project slightly over one-half complete. Approximately 1,150 pages of text describing 670 species in 130 families and 38 orders have been prepared. A total of 650 species of fishes have been illustrated, and separate illustrations have been prepared for representatives of six families to define photophore patterns used in identification of species and for specialized structures mentioned in the keys to species. It is anticipated that the remaining 600 to 700 species and 68 family descriptions, 600 to 700 species illustrations, and the surveys of ten natural history collections can be completed within three years. Benefits of the proposed study include: 1) an up-to-date synopsis of the systematics, life history and distribution of t he fishes that occur in the Gulf of Mexico, the ninth largest body of water in the World, 2) a single source for the identification of fishes in the Gulf and 3) an initiation of a computer data base of distributional records for the fishes that occur in the Gulf. It is anticipated that the sixth objective and third benefit will not be completed at the end of the three year period of the proposed study.

小行星9400842 拟议研究的目标是调查和清点墨西哥湾的鱼类，并将这些数据汇总成一本关于墨西哥湾鱼类的书，作为计算机数据库。 这本书的建议读者是对该地区鱼类感兴趣的科学家，学生和渔民，以及研究海湾和更具包容性地区地理学的科学家和学生。 计算机数据库将总结墨西哥湾鱼类在10个主要自然历史收藏中的分布情况。 具体而言，我们建议：1）列出，充分描述和区分所有的物种，发生在海湾的其他物种; 2）提供钢笔和墨水，铅笔阴影的所有物种的插图; 3）提供的所有顺序，家庭和特定的分类群发生在海湾的关键; 4）简要总结生活史和分布信息的所有物种; 5）将所有信息联合收割机合并成一本关于墨西哥湾鱼类的书;和6）为墨西哥湾所有经核实的物种记录建立一个计算机数据库。 这些目标将通过调查博物馆的标本和文献与墨西哥湾鱼类的参考来实现。 数据项目完成略多于一半。 编写了约1 150页的文本，描述了38目130科670个物种。 总共有650种鱼被图解，并为六个科的代表分别绘制了图解，以确定用于识别物种的鳃型和物种检索表中提到的专门结构。 预计剩余的600至700个物种和68个科的描述，600至700个物种的插图，以及10个自然历史收藏的调查可以在三年内完成。 拟议研究的好处包括：1）最新的概要的系统学，生活史和分布的鱼类，出现在墨西哥湾，世界第九大水体，2）一个单一的来源，以确定鱼类在墨西哥湾和3）开始的计算机数据库的分布记录的鱼类在墨西哥湾。 预计第六个目标和第三个效益将不会在拟议研究的三年期结束时完成。
