- Description
- A historical resume of fish collecting in the Maldive Islands is presented, beginning with the collection o f J. Stanley Gardiner in 1899-1900. Specimens of Maldives fishes have been examined at the Marine Research Section of the Ministry of Fisheries and Agriculture, Republic of Maldives and the five museums which house most of the fishes that have been collected in the islands: the Natural History Museum, London; Bernice P. Bishop Museum, Honolulu; California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco; Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago; and the Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt. A total of 899 species of epipelagic and shore fishes are recorded from the Maldives; 201 of these are new records for the islands. Thirty-two of the 899 are recorded by generic name only. Some of these could not be identified to species due to poor condition or to their being juveniles, but most appear to be undescribed.
