The nuclear DNA content (2C value) was determined in the commercial fish Galaxias maculatus (Galaxiidae) was determined by microdensitometry of erythrocyte nuclei after Feulgen staining; rainbow trout erythrocytes with a known 2C value were used as a standard. The 2C value of G. maculatus was 2.21 ± 0.12 pg and its C value was equivalent to 1.105 pg (1,

Observations on fishes of the family Galaxiidae: Part 1
In addition to their general importance as members of a remarkable family, the Tasmanian Galaxiidae are of special interest for several reasons. First, there are, as shown below, good grounds for believing that the island provides the type-locality of the genotype of the foundation-genus; secondly, the early observations of Johnston in Tasmania rank in

Preliminary investigation of systematics of some Tasmanian Galaxiidae
The investigation has revealed no Tasmanian galaxiid identical with any New Zealand form. The fish known hitherto as Galaxias attenuatus in Tasmania is shown to be at least subspecifically different from the form bearing this name in New Zealand. The two forms are referred to the species maculatus Jenyns on the grounds of page precedence, and are ...

Distinguished by the following combination of characters: small to medium sized (39–580 mm); body elongate, generally cylindrical to laterally compressed, scale-less; primary trunk lateral line as a series of closely-spaced superficial neuromasts within a mid ...
