ABSTRACT:Abrief review of recent ichthyological research and compiled results on the recordsof fishes from the Andaman Sea coast of Thailand are presented. A total of 1,746 species in 198families of fishes are currently known from the area. The 10 most speciose families are theGobiidae (227 species), Labridae (78), Pomacentridae (71), Serranidae (61), Apogonidae (60),Blenniidae (52), Carangidae (52), Scorpaenidae (49), Lutjanidae (39) and Chaetodontidae (37),and these together account for 42% of the total fish fauna. The ichthyofauna is dominated byreef-associated fishes (983 species) and pelagic/benthic fishes inhabiting offshore habitats (971species). A zoogeographic analysis reveals a peculiarity of the fauna of this marginal-sea region,viz., being one of the areas of sympatry of Indian and Pacific Ocean fishes, as well as harbouringregional endemics. The PMBC Reference Collection currently contains examples of only about63% of the fishes known from the area, indicating a need for further local sampling campaignsand/or international collaborative exploratory research programs in the Andaman Sea to build upthe Reference Collection.

INTRODUCTION

The Andaman Sea is an approximately1,200 km long x 650 km wide body of water tothe southeast of the Bay of Bengal. It is boundedby the Gulf of Mataban in the north, the MalayPeninsula in the east, the Andaman and NicobarIslands in the west and the northern tip of Sumatrain the south. At its southeastern corner, theAndaman Sea narrows to form the Strait ofMalacca, which separates the Malay Peninsula fromthe island of Sumatra. Along an approximate 1,000km length of the Andaman Sea coast of Thailand,a variety of marine and coastal habitats are present,viz., mangroves, mud-flats, seagrass beds, rockyshores, intertidal sand-flats, coral reefs, openpelagic zones, and complex seabed systems on thecontinental shelf. The integrity of different peculiarenvironmental settings and/or characteristicsamong those habitat types provides suitable refugesfor a vast variety of aquatic biota, including fishes.Although, biogeographically, it belongs to theeastern Indian Ocean, it is strongly influenced bythe western Pacific Ocean biota via the

northwesterly through-flow in the Strait ofMalacca. It is thus an area of distributionalconfluence of the biotas of both the Indian Oceanand the Pacific Ocean (Satapoomin, 2002a, 2007;Kimura and Satapoomin, 2009). Being a marginalsea separated from the main Indian Ocean by theAndaman-Nicobar island arcs, it has been subjectedto a profound effect of sea-level lowering, especiallyduring major glaciations when it became aseparated, enclosed basin. Such isolation processesare believed to have promoted speciation and/orendemism of the fish fauna in the Andaman Sea(e.g., McManus, 1985; Randall, 1998; Randall andSatapoomin, 1999). The area is thus characterizedby its high diversity and the unique faunalcomposition of the fishes. However, knowledgeand information on the overall diversity of marinefishes in the area is still limited, because very fewattempts had been made to compile a list of allknown fish species from the area.

The purposes of the present paper are toprovide a brief review of recent ichthyologicalresearch, and to establish a comprehensivechecklist of all known marine and brackish-water

fishes from the Andaman Sea coast of Thailand.The checklist was compiled from various sourcesof information, including published literature,unpublished data made available under severalsampling programs/projects, and the fish collectiondata repository of the Phuket Marine BiologicalCenter (PMBC). It should be noted that the overalllist of species presented herein is only provisionalas a number of species records and identificationsin previously published literature (particularly thoseof inventory, non-taxonomic works), cannot beverified. Nonetheless, this provisional checklist willserve as a significant baseline for furtherestablishment of a conventional, annotatedchecklist or taxonomic review of the Andaman Seafishes.

METHODS

The compilation of the species list wasbased largely on accumulating information fromthe earlier literature, including inventory works and/or faunistic surveys, field guides, and taxonomicworks. Some unpublished data, including recentunpublished survey results made by the author,collection data of the Royal Ontario Museum’sproject on gobioid fishes of southwestern Thailandin 1993 (under auspices of Dr. RichardWinterbottom), and the PMBC fish collection datarepository were also incorporated into the currentchecklist. Selected taxonomic papers pertaining torecords of fishes from the Andaman Sea coast ofThailand used to compile the current checklist arelisted in Appendix B.

The systematic arrangement of familiesfollows Nelson (2006). Species in each family arearranged alphabetically. The scientific names offishes used in the cited literature have been updatedwhere possible, following recent usage, and hencejunior synonyms were omitted. Since thecompilation was also based, in part, on literaturethat provided only a list of names, the author hasonly been able to check or correctmisidentifications to a limited extent. In this regard,only correct names were retained, synonyms wereallocated according to the latest usage, whiledoubtful species records were excluded.

In addition to scientific names andclassification, the checklist provides basic

information on habitats and zoogeographicdistribution of each species. The availability ofvoucher specimens lodged at the ReferenceCollection of the PMBC was also emphasized inorder to draw the attention of ichthyologists whomay wish to examine these specimens. Thedesignation of habitat type(s) for each species wasbased largely on either quoted information fromthe compiled literature or from the author’sunpublished survey results and observations. Fourprincipal habitat categories adopted herein includedmangrove (Mg), coral reef (Cr), seagrass bed (Sg),and other offshore habitats (OShr). Thesecategories can be considered as goodrepresentations of the major marine and coastalfeatures along the southwestern Thailand coastline.Each of these habitat types, however, was moreor less loosely defined in order to accommodate arange of associated minor biotopes of each habitat.The offshore category, in particular, was the mostinclusive term as it encompassed a range ofbenthic- and pelagic-related habitats. Thisdesignation includes both near-shore and far-offshore fishes considered as either pelagic (i.e.,coastal pelagic, offshore pelagic, epipelagic, andmesopelagic) or demersal (i.e., coastal demersal,benthopelagic, and deep demersal) species. Themangrove habitat was considered to include certaininter-connected zones like mud-flats and the upperreaches of the estuarine areas. Coral reef wasdefined to include several nearby and/or associatedareas, namely intertidal rocky shore/rock platform,intertidal sand-flat, and subtidal bare-seafloor infront of the reef (so called as forereef).

Most of the well defined zoogeographicdistribution categories (see, e.g., Myers, 1991)were generally adopted or redefined with additionalexplanation, while some new categories were addedwith their definitions. The definitions for thosedistribution categories and their acronyms are asfollows: Indo-Pacific (IP), widespread across theIndian Ocean and western portion of the Pacificwith an eastern limit east of non-marginal areas ofthe Pacific Plate; Indo-west Pacific (IWP), a subsetof the Indo-Pacific with northeastern limit on thePacific Plate, marginally in the Carolines but notreaching the Marshalls; West Pacific (WP), limitedto the area bound by the Andaman Island andCocos-Keeling Island in the west to the margin of

the Pacific Plate in the east, north to southernJapan, south to western and eastern Australia; Westcentral Pacific (WCP), west Pacific and PacificPlate distributions and may include the East Pacific;Indo-Australian Archipelago (IA), a subset of theWest Pacific, north to southern Taiwan, east tothe Solomons, south to the Great Barrier Reef;Indo-Malayan Archipelago (IM), a subset of Indo-Australian which is limited to the areas withinbounds of Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Java, NewGuinea and Philippines; Indian Ocean (IO),widespread throughout the Indian Ocean; NorthernIndian Ocean (NIO), the extended range of easternIndian Ocean to encompass the northwesternlimits which include the west coast of India,Pakistan, Oman and Persian Gulf; Eastern IndianOcean (EIO), the eastern section of the IndianOcean westwards to Laccadive, Maldive andChagos archipelagoes; the eastern extremity of theIndian Ocean (EEIO), a narrow stripe or transitionarea along the joint margin of Indian-Australianand Asian lithospheric plates, including theAndaman Sea, Sumatra, Java, Bali, Flores, Cocos-Keeling/Christmas Islands and northwesternAustralian Shelf; Andaman Sea province (AS), thearea assigned to accommodate species havingrestricted distribution only to the Andaman Sea orranging southwards only to western Sumatra;Circumtropical (CIR), tropical seas worldwide; andCosmopolitan (COS), tropical and temperate seasworldwide. The boundary of some distributioncategories is presented (Fig. 1) for clarification ofthe definitions of those areas.

RESULTSAND DISCUSSION

1. Brief review of ichthyological researchThe fish fauna of the Andaman Sea coast

of Thailand was poorly documented until relativelyrecent times. There were several well-knownwestern ichthyologists/naturalists (e.g., Cuvier,Valenciennes, Bleeker, Günther, Fowler, Regan,Boulenger, etc.) who reported, listed or describedThai fishes between 1800 and the 1950s, but theirworks were restricted only to either the Gulf ofThailand (marine) or inland (freshwater) fishes(see Monkolprasit et al. (1997) for detailedhistorical review). The first marine fish of theAndaman Sea coast of Thailand described by a

westerner was a reef-associated goby, Pipidoniaquinquecincta Smith, 1931 [valid as Gobiopsisquinquecincta (Smith)]. During his term of service(1923–1935) as the Adviser in Fisheries to theDepartment of Fisheries of Thailand (formerlySiamese Bureau of Fisheries), Smith published anumber of articles pertaining to freshwater fishesand fishes of the Gulf of Thailand. Later, in 1945,he published a monograph entitled “The Fresh-water Fishes of Siam, or Thailand” (Smith, 1954).Suvatti (1950) was the first Thai ichthyologist topublish a list of Thai fishes. Several subsequentstudies on marine fishes in Thai waters by theThais were confined to groups of particularinterest, for instance Pleuronectiformes (byPunpoka, 1964), Lutjanidae (Banasopit, 1968),Serranidae (Banasopit, 1969; Monkolprasit, 1983),Chaetodontidae (Banasopit, 1971), Leiognathidae(Monkolprasit, 1973), Elasmobranchii(Monkolprasit, 1984), and Labridae (Monkolprasit,1989). The foremost comprehensive compiledchecklist of the fishes of Thailand, which includedboth freshwater and marine fishes, was publishedby Monkolprasit et al. in 1997. It listed 171 fishfamilies with a total of 1,741 species, about 30%(516 species) of which can be considered asfreshwater fishes. The records of marine fishesin the checklist were compiled from the literaturepublished before 1990, except for two papers (oneon mangrove fishes by Monkolprasit (1994) andone on ammodytid fishes by Ida et al. (1994)).That checklist recorded 710 species representing129 families of fishes from the Andaman Sea.

A few collections of reef fishes from theSimilan Islands were made during the R/V Te VegaCruise 2, eastern Indian Ocean cruise (fromSingapore to Colombo, Ceylon), in late 1963 (http://tevega.stanford.edu/cruises.htm). Thesecollections were deposited at the U.S. NationalMuseum of Natural History, and some weredesignated as types of new fish species describedsubsequently (i.e., Melichthys indicus Randall &Klausewitz, 1973, Gymnothorax pseudoherreiBöhlke, 2000, and Helcogramma lacuna Williams& Howe, 2003). In February 1979, Randall(Bishop Museum, Hawaii) and Allen (WesternAustralian Museum) made a few collections andphotographed reef fishes around Phuket and theSimilan Islands (see Allen et al., 2005). Although


no comprehensive list of fishes resulted from thateffort, the collected materials had been used indescribing several new species (i.e., Leptojulischrysotaenia Randall & Ferraris, 1981, Chromisflavipectoralis Randall, 1988, Pomacentrus adelusAllen, 1991, P. azuremaculatus Allen, 1991, P.polyspinus Allen, 1991, P. similis Allen, 1991,Neopomacentrus sororius Randall & Allen, 2005,Plesiops auritus Mooi, 1995, Plectorhinchusmacrospilus Satapoomin & Randall, 2000,

Ctenochaetus truncatus Randall & Clements, 2001,Scorpaenopsis possi Randall & Eschmeyer, 2001,Helcogramma lacuna Williams & Howe, 2003, andOpistognathus cyanospilotus Smith-Vaniz, 2009).The most important collections of reef fishes forthe area were made in November 1993 under thecollaborative project between the Royal OntarioMuseum (ROM), Canada and the Phuket MarineBiological Center (PMBC). From well over 35sampling stations using the ichthyocide rotenone

around Phuket and adjacent islands, nearly eighteenthousand specimens representing about 570 speciesin 75 families of fishes were collected anddocumented. It was also the first time thatsignificant information on small cryptobenthic reeffishes for the area was obtained. The collectedmaterials have been used in the descriptions of 13new species to date (including 7 species in Gobiidaeand 1 in each of the following families:Apogonidae,Serranidae, Pomacentridae, Opistognathidae,Tripterygiidae, and Soleidae), with several otherdescriptions underway. Satapoomin (1993)established a first comprehensive checklist of coralreef fishes of the west coast of Thailand bycompiling information from both available literature(dated back to 1950) and the author’s surveyresults carried out during 1990–1992. The listrevealed a total of 597 species belonging to 66families of reef fishes in the area. Allen et al. (2005)provided an extensive list, consisting of 764 speciesin 70 families, of coral reef fishes being recordedand/or known for the area. The most recent list ofcoral reef fishes, with 888 species in 85 families,was published by Satapoomin (2007).

There are a limited number of studies onichthyofauna of either mangroves or seagrass bedsin the Andaman Sea coast of Thailand, most ofwhich were confined to particular sampling sites(e.g., Boonruang et al., 1994; Monkolprasit, 1994;Janekitkarn and Monkolprasit, 1994). Satapoominand Poovachiranon (1997) provided the firstcomprehensive list of the fish fauna from severalmajor mangrove and seagrass bed sites along thecoast of southwestern Thailand. That studyrevealed a total of 280 species representing 75families of fishes, which included 232 species (69families) and 149 species (51 families) found inmangroves and seagrass beds, respectively. In2002, a study by Fish Team of the Trang Project(2002) provided a list, together with illustrations,of 134 species in 49 families of fishes inhabiting amangrove estuary at Sikao, southwestern Thailand.Under the JSPS (Japan Society for the Promotionof Science) Multilateral Project on Coastal MarineScience, Matsuura and Kimura (2005) publisheda guide book with taxonomic accounts andillustrations of 128 species in 46 families of fishesinhabiting mangroves, seagrass beds and

surrounding area of Libong Island, Trang Province.The most recent list of the fish fauna in the seagrassbeds of the Andaman Sea coast of Thailand, with230 species in 62 families, was published bySatapoomin (2006).

The first publication on demersal and/orpelagic fishes of the Andaman Sea coast ofThailand was published by Lohakarn (1968). Thisincluded taxonomic accounts of 109 species in 57families. Fishes collected by bottom trawls duringthe 5th Thai-Danish Expedition to the AndamanSea in 1966 (the first Thai-Danish marineexpedition) were reported by Boonyanate andHylleberg (1993) with a total records of 80 speciesin 41 families. Other early studies on demersalfishes in the area were mostly focused on fisheriesaspects and, in most cases, faunal compositionwas reported mainly as higher taxonomic ranksrather than individual species (e.g., Pokapunt andSinoda, 1978; Boonragsa, 1988; Chantawong,1996). Some studies on experimental operationsof certain types of fishing gears reported not morethan 50 fish species each (e.g., Wongratana,1982b, 1983; Ruengpan, 1988). A morecomprehensive list of demersal fishes collected byotterboard trawl nets and deep sea shrimp trapsalong the Andaman Sea coast of Thailand at depthsof about 30–420 m was published by Wongratana(1982a), with 256 species in 91 families. Also,Pokapunt and Tantivala (1987) reported 182species of demersal fishes (in 66 families) in thearea from surveys using otterboard trawls at waterdepths less than 90 m. Deep-sea fishes of theAndaman Sea were poorly known. The results ofsurveys during 1975 and 1976 on fishes inhabitingthe continental shelf within the depth range of 200–550 m was reported by Pokapunt et al. (1983),with taxonomic accounts of 31 species in 20families. Under the Scientific CooperationProgramme between Denmark and Thailand during1996–2000, the Biodiversity of the Andaman SeaShelf (BIOSHELF) Project was undertaken by thestaff of the PMBC together with their Danishcounterparts. The benthic fauna, including fishes,was sampled at depths of 40–900 m. Preliminaryresults revealed a total of 55 families in 20 ordersof fishes, most of which were deep-water fishesthat have not yet been identified (Aungtonya et


al., 2000). Under the JSPS project, acomprehensive guide book entitled “Fishes ofAndaman Sea, West Coast of Southern Thailand”covered 778 species in 106 families of fishes(Kimura et al., 2009).

The Reference Collection of the PMBC isone of the major sources of information on marinebiodiversity of theAndaman Sea coast of Thailand.The collection of fishes, in particular, was largelyestablished as a result of the FAO/DANIDASeminar on Fish Taxonomy in Southeast Asia heldat the PMBC in 1972. Apart from the AndamanSea fishes, a number of specimens obtained fromthe Gulf of Thailand, as well as from neighboringcountries (i.e., India, Malaysia, Singapore,Indonesia, Philippines, and Hong Kong) werebrought in during the seminar and subsequentlydeposited in the PMBC Reference Collection. Somedeposited material of fishes from Australia wasdonated by the Australian Museum under a pastexchange programme. One lot of fishes collectedfrom Myanmar during the first joint Myanmar-ThaiFishery Exploratory Survey in 1990 was alsodeposited in the Reference Collection(Nateewathana et al., 1983). A revised checklistof fishes in the PMBC Reference Collection waspublished by Nateewathana et al. (1983),comprising a total of 629 species in 119 families.The collection has gradually increased following anumber of subsequent researches (e.g.,Sirimontraporn et al., 1993; Satapoomin andPoovachiranon, 1997; Satapoomin, 1999, 2002b)and intensive sampling programmes (e.g., acollaborative project between ROM and PMBC in1993 and the PMBC’s past and ongoing projects,namely Coral Reef Management Project (1995–1999), Seagrass Resources Management andDugong Conservation Project (1997–2000), andAssessment of Coastal Marine Resources Project(since 2004)). According to the recent PMBC datarepository (http://pmbc.go.th/pmbc-rc/Taxonomy.php/), the most reliable records of fishes(excluding doubtful records and/ormisidentifications) deposited in the ReferenceCollection total at least 1,200 species belonging to170 families. TheAndaman Sea fishes, in particular,are well represented with a total number of 1,093species, comprising 1, 39, and 1,053 species in

Myxini, Chondrichthyes, and Actinopterygii,respectively.

2. Faunal composition and zoogeographyThe present checklist contains 1,746

species, representing 696 genera, 198 families, 40orders, and 3 classes, of marine and coastal fishesfrom theAndaman Sea coast of Thailand (AppendixA). The figure is relatively high as compared tothose reported from several other localities in theIndian Ocean. For example, 533 species werereported from the Cocos (Keeling) Islands (Allenand Smith-Vaniz, 1994), 603 from the LaccadiveArchipelago (Jones and Kumaran, 1980), 622 fromChristmas Island (Hobbs et al., 2010), 784 fromthe Chagos Archipelago (Winterbottom andAnderson, 1999), 880 from Seychelles andadjacent areas (Smith and Smith, 1969), 885 fromthe Reunion Island (Letourneur et al., 2004), 930species from Oman (Randall, 1995), 1,078 fromthe Red Sea (Golani and Bogorodsky, 2010), 1,090from the Maldives (Anderson et al., 1998), and1,800 (as an estimate) from southern Africa(Heemstra and Heemstra, 2004). There may bethe real differences in fish diversity among thoselocalities, but it should be noted that the numberof species recorded probably reflect biases ordifferences in any or all of the following aspects:sampling effort, habitat/depth representation, andgeographical coverage.

The 10 most speciose families (Gobiidae,Labridae, Pomacentridae, Serranidae,Apogonidae,Blenniidae, Carangidae, Scorpaenidae, Lutjanidaeand Chaetodontidae) collectively account for about42% of the total fish fauna. The cumulativepercentage contribution when the top 20 familiesare taken into account (Table 1) is over half thetotal (56%), suggesting that the fauna is notpredominated by only a few families but by a setof several families. This seems to reflect thediversity of habitats encompassed by the currentfaunal list. Each habitat usually contains a uniquecomposition of the predominant fish families,except for the Gobiidae, which is the most diversegroup in nearly all coastal habitats (e.g., coral reefs,seagrass beds and mangroves – Satapoomin, 2006,2007; Fish Team of the Trang Project, 2002). Thecurrent checklist, which includes species from


various habitats, thus evens out the significancecontribution of certain predominant families in theanalysis. The relative abundance of these familiesis similar, although with variable ranking, to thosein studies of inshore fishes at many other Indo-Pacific localities, for example, Reunion Island(Letourneur et al., 2004), Maldive Islands (Randalland Anderson, 1993), Chagos Archipelago(Winterbottom and Anderson, 1999), northwesternAustralia (Allen, 1993), Calamianes Islands,Palawan Province (Allen, 2000), southern Taiwan(Shao et al., 2008), Yaku-shima Island, southernJapan (Motomura et al., 2010), and MarianaIslands (Myers and Donaldson, 2003). TheGobiidae, in particular, was usually the leadingfamily when it was adequately sampled. Other less

diverse families include 25 families with a rangeof species numbers of 10–19 species, 27 familieswith 5–9 species, 59 families with 2–4 species,and the remaining 66 families each with singlespecies.

With respect to habitat association, the fishfauna consists overwhelmingly of reef fishes,which comprise about 56% (983 species) of thetotal species. The coastal species from mangrovesand seagrass beds represent about 17% (296species) and 14% (246 species) of the total fauna,respectively. The other major component, whichis loosely categorized to accommodate fishesinhabiting a variety of offshore habitats (spanningpelagic to benthic zones at various depths),comprises about 55% (971 species) of the total

fauna. The figures accounting for the proportionof species shared between habitats varyconsiderably and are relatively low, i.e., 42%between mangroves and seagrass beds, 20.5%between offshore habitats and coral reefs, 16.8%between offshore habitats and seagrass beds,15.6% between offshore habitats and mangroves,9.4% between coral reefs and seagrass beds, and5.3% between coral reefs and mangroves. Thespecies shared among the 4 biotopes account foronly 2.3% of the total species recorded. Speciesshared between or among habitats, however,comprise a number of species which are stronglydependent on more than a single habitat type, andoften exhibit a segregated habitat-use pattern withrespect to their different life-history stages (e.g.,Mumby et al., 2004; Shibuno et al., 2008). Thisseems to suggest an inter-system connection infish populations. Because unique assemblages ofspecies are restricted to each particular habitattype, while others depend upon the existence ofmultiple habitat-types through connectivity, specialattention must be paid to holistic approaches ofmulti-ecosystems management and conservationif the overall diversity of the fishes is to bemaintained. At present, there is growing concernover the science of connectivity becauseunderstanding of the linkage among ecosystemsis considered as a key to the success ofconservation and management of marine andcoastal areas, particularly when emphasizing thedesign of marine protected areas (MPAs) and MPAnetwork (Botsford et al., 2009; Sale et al., 2010).

The zoogeographic analysis of specieswith adequately known distribution ranges ispresented in Table 2. The analysis reveals that thefish fauna consists primarily of species which arewidely distributed either in the Indo-Pacific or Indo-west Pacific (50.7%). Approximately 17.1% of thefauna are found within portions of the westernPacific and northeastern Indian Ocean (i.e., NIO–WCP, NIO–WP, NIO–IA, NIO–IM, EIO–WCP,EIO–WP, EIO–IA, and EIO–IM). Similarly 15.5%of species have a distribution range in the westernPacific or portions of this region (i.e., WCP, WP,IA, and IM). This clearly confirms that easternmost boundary of the Indian Ocean including theAndaman Sea overlaps the biogeographic regionof the West Pacific. About 12% of the fauna has a

primarily Indian Ocean range, with lesser values(Table 3) for either the fauna confined to the easternextremity of the Indian Ocean (about 1%) or thefauna restricted only to the Andaman Sea province(1.7%). The remaining species (4.9%) have pan-oceanic ranges, including circumtropical andcosmopolitan distributions. The presence of faunahaving both an Indian Ocean distribution range andalso a western Pacific distribution range in the areacan be considered as compelling evidence of adistribution confluence of both Indian Ocean andPacific Ocean faunas in the region. The boundarywhere sympatry of the eastern (= Pacific Ocean)and western (= Indian Ocean) populations is mostevident seems to encompass Christmas Island andthe Java–Bali region (see, Randall, 1998; Allen andAdrim, 2003; Hobbs et al., 2010). The stronginfluence of the Indian Ocean fauna in the areacan be further highlighted by considering thenumber of sibling species that involve Indian andPacific Ocean species pairs, and some geographicvariants that contain different Indian and PacificOcean colour morphs. While inconsistentconsiderations among ichthyologists overtaxonomic status (i.e., variants, subspecies, or fullspecies) of the latter exist, concrete morphologicaland/or genetic evidence is required to ascertaintheir taxonomic status (Randall, 1998; Hastingsand Springer, 2009). As exemplified in Table 4,which includes 68 sibling species-pairs (in 17families) and 18 species (in 10 families) possessinggeographic variation in colour morphs, theAndaman Sea fauna is predominantly representedby the Indian Ocean forms.

Since establishment of the PMBCReference Collection about 25 years ago, a greatdeal of knowledge has accumulated and well over190 new species (see also Aungtonya et al., 2006)have been described from the Andaman Sea. Atpresent, the Reference Collection maintains typematerials of 21 fish species, including 9 holotypesand 27 lots of paratypes (Table 5). Reliable recordsof Andaman Sea fishes currently deposited at theReference Collection account for about 63% ofthe total fish fauna. The fish collection thus stilldoes not include a comprehensive representationof theAndaman Sea fish fauna. In order to maintainits significant role in supporting biodiversityresearch of the ichthyofauna of this particular


region, the fish collection needs to be upgradedby additional sampling so that the missing 27% ofspecies can be made available as voucher orreference materials for future researchers. Alsoworth mentioning here are the figures reflectingbiotope representation of the fishes catalogued inthe Reference Collection, which vary considerably,i.e., 64% of total offshore fishes and 65% of thereef-associated fishes, but 81% of the mangrovefishes and 88% of the seagrass fishes. Thesefigures can form a basis for targeting futuresampling programs for the Reference Collection.Small and cryptic reef fishes and particularly thoseinhabiting the deep-reef habitats are in need ofextensive sampling. For fishes dwelling amongvarious offshore habitats, deep demersal,benthopelagic, and mesopelagic fishes are amongthe groups that have not been adequately sampled.Deep sea exploratory research programs aregenerally costly and particularly require specifictechniques, equipment as well as taxonomicexpertise. The establishment of such programs islikely to require international collaborative effortsand funding.

Although the present checklist providesthe most extensive species records for the area, itshould be considered as a provisional rather thana complete faunal list. Also, there are a number ofidentifications that still need verification throughexamination of voucher specimens. Furthermore,the sampling efforts for several fish groups and/or in certain habitats remain deficient. The presentprovisional checklist, however, can at least helpto draw the attention of ichthyologists who areinterested in fish fauna of the Andaman Sea towhere there are knowledge gaps. Also, it can serveas a baseline for a comprehensive taxonomicreview and/or annotated checklist of the AndamanSea fishes. It is hoped that, joint research orcollaborative efforts will be possible in the nearfuture to accomplish such goals. While the currentlimited effort and interest, especially with respectto taxonomy, has slowed down the progress inthis research area, a concomitant obstacleregarding decreasing personnel trained inichthyology in Thailand seems to be more criticaland needs urgent action.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This paper was initially prepared as acontribution to the concluding conference of the10-year JSPS Multilateral Core UniversityProgramme on “Coastal Marine Science” in Tokyoduring 26–29 October 2010, but I finally couldnot make the trip. It was then presented as a plenarytalk at the seminar on “Biodiversity of SouthernThailand in Focus: Status and Research Direction”at Walailak University, Nakorn Sri Thammarat,Thailand, during 10–12 November 2010. I amgrateful for the generous support made availableby the JSPS for me to be able to join several fishworkshops conducted over the years, whichultimately gave me a wonderful opportunity to learnmore about the fish faunas of SE Asia. Special

thanks are due to Dr. Keiichi Matsuura [KM] ofthe National Museum of Nature and Science,Tokyo, for his considerable effort in leading thefish diversity project under the JSPS multilateralprogramme and encouraging me to write up thispaper. I am very grateful to Dr. RichardWinterbottom [RW] of the Royal Ontario Museumfor sharing the research outcomes from the 1993expedition to Phuket and inspiring my interest insmall cryptobenthic reef fishes. Both KM and RWkindly gave their time for reviewing and improvingthe first draft of this manuscript. Several past andongoing projects at PMBC which contribute to theinformation and knowledge on the Andaman Seafish fauna have been continually supported by theThai government budget. I am also grateful to themany staff members of the PMBC for theirassistance in the field.
