Adaptative Radiation of the Retina in Galaxiidae (Salmoniformes)

Australian Journal of Zoology, 1990
The retinas of seven galaxiid species collected from different habitats in Tasmania were investigated by light microscopy. There are remarkable differences between Galaxias and Paragalaxias species. The retinas of Galaxias species are characterised by a less dense retinal epithelial pigment (REP), large numbers of short and long rods, the presence of a

Spawning ofGalaxias fasciatusGray (Salmoniformes: Galaxiidae)

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, 1982
Abstract For the first time Galaxias fasciatus Gray were observed spawning. The spawning sites were among flooded terrestrial vegetation along the margins of a stream during the peak of a flood. Spawning appeared to be a communal event and the fish were vulnerable to eel (Anguilla dieffenbachii) predation at the time.

Cytotaxonomy of seven species of Galaxias (Pisces: Galaxiidae) in Tasmania

Genetica, 1981
Karyotypes of 7 species of the genus Galaxias in Tasmania are compared and a phylogenetic interpretation of these data offered. Species fall into 3 distinct groups, viz. those with 2n=44 (G. brevipinnis, G. johnstoni and G. fontanus), those with 2n=32 (G. truttaceus, G. tanycephalus and G. auratus), and G. maculatus with 2n=22.

A revision of the family Galaxiidae (Pisces) in Tasmania

Marine and Freshwater Research, 1976
Nine species of the genus Galaxias and one species of the genus Paragalaxias are found to be represented in Tasmania. The taxonomy, meristic and morphometric variation of each species is examined and data on the distribution, life history and ecology are presented together with references and synonymy.

Reproduction of landlocked Aplochiton zebra Jenyns (Pisces, Galaxiidae)

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, 2008
Abstract –  Life‐history studies comparing landlocked versus diadromous populations reveal factors associated with life‐history evolution under different scenarios. We describe several aspects of spawning and development of landlocked Aplochiton zebra in Patagonia (Argentina) based on the presence of eggs, the gonadal development, the analysis of ...
