Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, Wellington

Version 1.0: pages 1–176, first published on Te Papa website, 7 July 2017

Summary This electronic checklist documents all species of marine, estuarine and freshwater fishes known within the boundary of the 200 nautical mile New Zealand Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), and lists 1289 species (247 families, 43 orders), including 13 new records. For each species account, detailed information is provided on the valid scientific name, its author(s), year of publication, detailed bibliographic reference, page number, illustration number(s), collection registration(s) and number of primary types (where known), and type locality details. Additional taxonomic information includes subsequent designation of lectotypes and neotypes, nomenclatural comment, and the listings in New Zealand type catalogues. The first 550 species in 99 families also include scientific names recorded in selected key catalogues and checklists for the New Zealand fish fauna published over the last 174 years (Richardson 1843a to Roberts et al. 2015a). Our intent is to update this electronic checklist on a regular basis.

Introduction The Fishes of New Zealand (TFNZ) (Roberts et al. 2015b), an encyclopaedic four-volume printed

monograph prepared by 44 subject experts over a 20-year period, was published two years ago. This

major work classified, identified, diagnosed and illustrated all known New Zealand fishes. A checklist

(Roberts et al. 2015a) within TFNZ, provided abbreviated taxonomic information for 1274 species in

245 families and 43 orders, including 127 new records for the New Zealand fauna, up to 30 June

2013. Since then, researchers have continued to discover and describe new fishes in the New Zealand

EEZ on a regular basis. On-going exploration and collection-based taxonomic research will

significantly increase this number.

The main purposes of the present electronic checklist are: (1) make information in TFNZ checklist

more widely accessible via PDF (a 176 page searchable document); (2) update TFNZ checklist with

new information and taxa discovered deuring the last four years of exploratory survey and taxonomic

research; and (3) begin to evaluate and accurately document the diverse taxonomic nomenclature for

each valid fish species, especially their synonymies and listings in New Zealand catalogues and

checklists over the last 200 years.

On-going development of the checklist to include valid scientific names, synonymies and

nomenclature of all New Zealand fishes and their taxonomic literature is a huge undertaking. This is

due to need for exacting collection-based taxonomic research coupled with accurate bibliographic

detail, obtained by extensive cross-referencing of the literature, which is often widespread, old, and

hard to track down.

Our initial task to accurately inventory and catalogue all New Zealand fish species and updating their

nomenclature has been divided into several parts. Treating about 275 species a year, the checklist will

be progressively expanded in successive versions to record the bibliographic information and

synonymy for each species listed. Version 1.0 documents all fish species published in TFNZ (Roberts

et al. 2015b) updated with species discovered and published since 30 June 2013 (Appendix 1), and

expands the scientific names and literature records in New Zealand catalogues and checklists for 550

fish species, in 99 families from Epigonichthyidae (order Amphioxiformes) to Aphyonidae (order

Ophidiiformes).

The nationally important goal of publishing a comprehensive account of accurate taxonomic

knowledge of all New Zealand fishes is unlikely to be achieved within our present lifetime. Our best

estimate indicates at least another 700 fish species are yet to be found within the EEZ and, at the

present rate of discovery (10–15 species/year) and research effort, this will not be achieved until at

least 2100 (Roberts et al. 2015b). This publication is one key step in documenting and tracking

biodiversity knowledge of New Zealand’s fish fauna, and laying the groundwork for future research.

Acknowledgements Publication of this electronic checklist is a research output of the ‘Biosystematics of New Zealand EEZ Fishes’ project, carried out since 1996 at Te Papa under external Foundation for Research Science and Technology (FRST) and National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) contracts, most recently NIWA Coasts & Oceans Programme 2: Biological Resources contract, which are gratefully acknowledged.

A total of 44 ichthyologists from 27 institutions across nine countries and six continents contributed to

the taxonomic research that generated this checklist. All these specialists are gratefully acknowledged.

This international collaboration has allowed an in-depth, comprehensive treatment of the New

Zealand fish fauna, which has combined knowledge based on extensive historical research with

modern collecting and discoveries.

Methods The principle criterion for recording a species in the checklist is the presence of at least one voucher

specimen in the National Fish Collection at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa

(NMNZ) or another collection (New Zealand or overseas), which has been examined and identified by

a taxonomic ichthyologist. There are however, examples where this tenant cannot be met, but the

evidence is considered to be sufficiently strong to support the listing. Examples are:

A species has been described in literature sufficiently well to be accurately identified, and has

been validated by a taxonomic authority during this project.

No voucher exists, but a published account and photograph, or illustration have clear characters

that accurately identify the species.

The primary source of information on nomenclature and type material is Catalog of Fishes

(Eschmeyer 1998, n.d. accessed online 7 Feb 2014–30 Jun 2017), which all entries have been checked

against. In addition, original literature, online museum collection databases (e.g. BMNH, ZMUC), and

unpublished data held at the NFC, have also been checked. As expected, there are some mismatches,

errors, and updates with Catalog of Fishes when adding a regional fish fauna and its literature, and

vice versa.

F Freshwater species.

* Species recorded/listed additional to checklist in Roberts et al. (2015a).

† Recently extinct (one species only)

‡ No species account published in TFNZ because accurate identification was not possible due to the absence of diagnostic characters, in larvae and early juvenile stages, or the damaged state of voucher specimens

Format style Higher classification and nomenclature follow that used for Australian fishes by Hoese et al. (2006)

and Gomon et al. (2008), which are in turn based on the comprehensive works of Nelson (1994, 2006)

and Eschemeyer (1998). The ordering and structure follows Roberts et al. (2015a,b), with phyla to

families ordered phylogenetically, and with genera and species within each family ordered

alphabetically, except for those cited in Appendix 1.

The valid scientific name and common name of each species is in bold as a heading, under which the

following are provided:

Name – The original combination and spelling as given when first published. All scientific names have been transcribed exactly as found in the source text, complete with any erroneous original spelling.

Author – The author(s) of the work responsible for first making the name available, as stipulated by

the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN, art. 50). The full reference for the journal

or book in which the original description appeared is provided in the References. If the work was

published within a larger work, particularly if authored or published by someone else, these details are

also provided.

Year – The year of publication that meets the Criteria of Publication as stipulated in the Code (ICZN,

art. 21). In cases where this year differs from that on the printed publication, the year on the printed

publication is included in square brackets in the References.

Page – The page number where the actual description starts. In cases where an English translation or

summary exists, the starting page of the English version is given in square brackets. The complete

reference for the translated version is provided in the References.

Illustrations – Plates and figures that relate to the actual description are included. All plates are in

Arabic numbers, figures appearing on a plate are in parentheses, text figures are without parentheses.

Primary type – When known, the acronym for the institution holding the primary type(s) (holotype,

lectoype, neotype or syntypes) is given along with the type(s) registration number(s). Institutional

abbreviations follow Roberts et al. (2015b: S131). If known, the number of specimens in a lot is given

in parentheses after the registration number, e.g. NMNZ P.047298 (3). In cases where the original

number of specimens can be ascertained, this is also in parentheses, e.g. Syntypes: (5). Where there is

doubt surrounding the type status of a specimen, a question mark is used, e.g. ?NMNZ P.032396, and


4

if there is doubt around the accuracy of the registration number, this is included in parentheses after

the registration number, e.g. NMNZ P.032396(?). In some instances, we are able to report the

condition of the types (e.g. skin, poor condition), as done in Catalog of Fishes, and this is noted in

parentheses after the registration number.

Type localities – The type locality is the locality where the primary type was collected. When

syntypes have been collected from multiple localities, a general locality may be given first, followed

by specific localities. In cases where a lectotype or neotype has been designated, the original type

locality, if different, is not included. As in Catalog of Fishes, an effort has been made to use the

modern day interpretation of the type locality, so it can be found on an online map or in a modern

atlas. Sometimes the original locality is included with quotation marks in brackets when there could

be some doubt as to the modern (official) interpretation of the name, or it is not well known, e.g.

Waihou River [‘River Thames’], North Island, New Zealand. An effort has been made to include

coordinates in degrees decimal minutes, and have been converted where necessary. When derived

from original literature, station data, or from another source, such as Catalog of Fishes, the

coordinates have been included in parentheses.

All type localities in the New Zealand region have coordinates included. Where no published

coordinates previously existed, then these have been estimated as accurately as possible, and included

in square brackets. When the available information is too general, ‘about’ is put in front of the

coordinates. If too broad an area was recorded (e.g. northwest coast of New Zealand), no coordinates

are provided. Depth (elevation for freshwater species) is given, when available, from the shallowest to

deepest. If only wire deployed was recorded, the length is noted with ‘wire’. Sometimes information

relating to depth, such as ‘surface’, ‘beach cast’, ‘and stomach contents’ is also noted. All empirical

measurements have been converted to metric, except for miles when it is not clear whether it is a

statute mile or a nautical mile.

Remarks – A variety of additional information may be included following the type localities, e.g

designation of lectotypes and neotypes. Type catalogues of particular importance to extant New

Zealand fish collections, i.e. Powell (1941), Dawson (1979), Hardy (1990), Russell (1996), and

Freeman & Tunnicliffe (1997) are cited.

Catalogues and checklists – Citation of species in published New Zealand checklists and catalogues

are listed chronologically by author(s), date of publication, page, and name used (verbatim) which

may differ from present usage. Lists using the same combination and spelling of the name are

separated by a comma. Where the name used is different, a semicolon is used. No distinction is made

between catalogues or checklists. Neither are clearly defined and overlap greatly in historical and

present useage, and information. Catalogues and checklists are selected to aid the reader access this

specalist information; further key publications will be added in subsequent versions. Summary

accounts of the selected 14 key publications cited are given below:

Richardson J 1843a. List of fish hithero detected on the coasts of New Zealand. 92 spp.

This is the second species list Richardson produced in 1843. There are various minor differences between these two catalogues, and several species listed are not entitled to a place in the New Zealand fauna (Gill 1893: 92). Of the two publications, the second (Richardson 1843a) contains more accurate nomenclature.

Hector J 1870. Catalogue of the Colonial Museum. Fishes. 138 spp.

A simple, ‘provisional’ list of scientific name, common name, and locality, based on 105 voucher specimens in the Colonial Museum ‘Collection’, and the rest from literature (Richardson 1843a), and Günther’s Catalogue of the fishes in the British Museum Vol I–VII published between 1859 and 1868.

Sherrin RAA 1886. Handbook of the fishes of New Zealand. 203 spp.

A scholarly but popular work, covering primarily commercial and common species, with a basic account including description with notes on biology and eating qualities, and concluding with a simple list of species. Each species has a scientic name, abbreviated authority, and a common name where known.

Hutton FW 1890. List of the New Zealand fishes. 226 spp.

An abbreviated list of fish species names, up-dated from his (1872) catalogue, and in particular using the classification and taxonomic information in Günther’s (1859–1870) multi-volume Catalogue of Fishes in the British Museum. He made no reference to Sherrin’s (1886) list.

Waite ER 1907. A basic list of the fishes of New Zealand. 252 spp.

Although published 3 years after Hutton’s (1904) Index, this ‘basic list’ by Waite (1907) was smaller in number, but more accurate, due to synonomy of about 29 of Hutton’s species. Waite also records the pagination of the original description, noting that this was absent from the Index. The list was published before the results of the 1907 Nora Niven trawling expedition (Waite 1909, 1911b), which included in the latter, descriptions of three new genera, 10 new taxa (five still valid), and five new records. Waite (1912) published additions and corrections to the basic list, revised the taxonomy of some of his 1907 species list, synonymised 10 species, and added an additional 23, bringing the total to 265.

Phillipps WJ 1927a. A check-list of the fishes of New Zealand. 320 spp.

Phillipps produced two lists of New Zealand fishes in 1927 more-or-less within a month of each other. The first list comprised family name and one, valid scientific name for each species, plus common name (if known), and codes for rockpool, reef, bathybial, pelagic, mid-water, freshwater, rare, edible, and trawl caught.

Whitley GP 1956. Appendix. Name-list of New Zealand fishes. 451 spp.

Published in Graham’s A treasury of New Zealand fishes. Second edition, the Acknowledgements notes that Whitley’s list records ‘every known New Zealand salt and freshwater fish.’ It comprised common name (if known) and one scientific name (a few with synonyms) given in phyolgenetic order, but without higher nomenclature. No bibliography was provided for the literature cited. Although brief, this list provided the first summary for 30 years at a time when post-World War 2 fisheries survey work was increasing. Introduced fishes however were specifically excluded.

McDowall R.M. 1980. A synoptic check-list of the freshwater fishes of New Zealand. 48 spp.

A summary, with keys to families and species of native and introduced species, including land-locked, fluvial, diadromous, and marine species known to encroach into freshwaters. Each species account gave synonyms (for native species), common name, status (endemic or introduced), habitat (freshwater, diadromous, or marine), distribution (New Zealand and global), maximum size, literature (mostly since 1960), and was illustrated.

Whitley GP 1968. A check-list of the fishes recorded from the New Zealand region. 445 spp.

A comprehensive synoptic checklist of genera and species of New Zealand fishes compiled from an extensive literature, but with only some examination of specimens in New Zealand collections. His ‘New Zealand region’ also included Macquarie Island, which meant a number of species (notothenioids, e.g. Harpagifer bispinis) were listed that do not occur (to date) in the New Zealand EEZ. Whitley has been described as having ‘practiced an eccentric form of taxonomy’ (Saunders, 2012), which has caused problems when trying to make sense of some of his taxonomic decisions. Despite this criticism, his 1968 checklist is one of the most important and widely cited taxonomic list and bibliography of New Zealand fishes published in the 20th century.

Paulin CD, Stewart AL 1985. A list of New Zealand teleost fishes held in the National Museum of New Zealand. ~890 spp.

The establishment in 1978 of the 200 nautical mile EEZ was rapidly followed by a large increase in fisheries-based exploration, with an increase in number of deep-water species collected. Taxonomic papers allowed teleosts to be identified with a reasonable degree of confidence and accuracy. However, many chondrichthyians (notably in Chimaeridae, Squalidae, Scyliorhinidae and Arhynchobatidae) resisted identification, and were subsequently found to be new and requiring description. Faced with this, the authors included the caviat that ‘approximately 120 species of elasmobranchs known from the region, but … not included in the present list because of the confused state of the taxonomy …...’ A number of teleost records were also recorded as ‘spp.’, indicating that two or more species were recognised. These were counted as one species in the talley.

Paulin CD, Stewart AL, Roberts CD, McMillan PJ 1989. New Zealand fish: A complete guide. 1008 spp.

This checklist was derived from a compilation of taxonomic keys for fisheries research work (Paulin et al., 1987). It comprises descriptive sections preceeding the two checklists, with a family account, family diagnosis, illustration of typical family form, and illustrated key to species in each family. There are two simple checklists with scientific name, author, date and common name: 98 species of sharks and their relatives; 910 species of bony fishes.

Francis MP 1993. A checklist of coastal fishes of Lord Howe, Norfolk and Kermadec Islands. 181 spp. [Kermadec Islands & New Zealand]

This publication reported a number of new records based on photographs and/or voucher specimens. The appendix noted the species that also occurred in Australian, Lord Howe Island, Norfolk Island, Kermadec Islands and New Zealand mainland waters, and included new records and distributions. Also, there were a number of detailed footnotes changing some taxonomy and deleting some records from the New Zealand fauna. It represented the most comprehensive published list of Kermadec fishes at the time, with important range extensions into northern mainland waters.

Roberts CD, Paulin CD, Stewart AL, McPhee RP, McDowall RM 2009. Checklist of New Zealand Chordata: Living lancelets, jawless fishes, cartilaginous, and bony fishes. 1176 spp.

The list recorded freshwater, estuarine and marine fishes of the NZ EEZ, known up to Jan 2000 (marine and estuarine fishes) and Dec 2003 (freshwater fishes). Family names, scientific names, with authoritiy, date, and common name where known, were listed alphabetically. Annotations were given for adventive aliens, diadromous freshwater, freshwater, recent freshwater, species endemic to all or part of NZ EEZ or landmass, and endemic genera. Published as a contribution to the Species 2000 Project and the global Catalogue of Life Programme. Phylum Chordata, Chapter 24 (King et al. 2009), included a descriptive account of New Zealand living fishes, with anatomy, diversity, history of discovery, research, collecting, biogeography, special features of the faunas, and future work.

Roberts CD, Barker JJ, Stewart AL, Struthers CD, Kortet S 2015a. Checklist of the fishes of New Zealand. 1274 spp.

Published in Volume 1 of Roberts et al. (2015b), the list documents all species of extant marine, estuarine and freshwater fishes within the boundary of the NZ EEZ, as at 30 June 2013. Phyla to families are ordered phylogentically following Australian (Hoese et al. 2006) and world (Eshmeyer 1998, accessed 7 February 2014–7 April 2015) literature. Genera and species are ordered alphabetically. For each species, there is the valid scientific name, a common name, author, year of publication, page, illustration, primary type location and number, type locality, depth, and a variety of additional remarks. All literature cited is included in the References section of the book. Of the species listed, 1262 are cross-referenced to their family account, key to species, and detailed, full-page, illustrated species accounts in Volumes 2–4 of the book.

Squalus isabella Bonnaterre, 1788: 6. Holotype apparently lost (Springer 1979). Bream Bay, Northland, New Zealand.

Note: Broussonet (1780: 648) first described this species but provided no formal Latinised name, merely referring to it as l’Isabelle. Broussonet’s description was based on examination of an illustration painted by Sidney Parkinson during Captain Cook’s first Endeavour voyage, and manuscript notes provided by Daniel Solander (Roberts & Paulin 1997, Wheeler 1986). Bonaterre (1788) stated the type locality as The South Sea [‘La mer du sud’] but Broussonet (1780: 648) provided additional information saying it was taken in November in the South Sea on the coast of New Zealand [‘elle a été prise au mois de Novembré dans la mer du Sud, fur la côte de la nouvelle Zélande’]. During November 1769 the Endeavour can be placed between Bay of Plenty and Bay of Islands, North Island, New Zealand (Beaglehole 1955, 1962). Solander’s manuscript notes have a date of ‘Nov.24.1769’ annotated on them (Wheeler 1986: 55), and on this date naturalist Joseph Bank’s noted in his diary that the Endeavour anchored in Bream Bay where a large number of fish were caught (Beaglehole 1962: 438).

Peltorhamphus novaezeelandiae Günther, 1862: 461. Lectotype: BMNH 1848.3.18.-? (1). New Zealand. Original description based on 12 syntypes. Norman (1934: 427) recognised a holotype and 10 paratypes (= lectotype and paralectotypes in contempory usage). James (1972) reidentified these paralectotypes [BMNH 1848.3.18.131–135 (5), BMNH 1848.3.18.216 (1), BMNH 1853.2.14.21 (1)] except for ZMB 5002 (1), as specimens of P. latus, James 1972. Günther (1862: 461) also lists Norfolk Island as a type locality for his P. novaezeelandiae, but James (1972) reidentified this specimen (BMNH 1848.3.18.216) as P. latus, therefore the type locality of P. novaezeelandiae is New Zealand.
