Checklist of the fishes of Western Australia

INTRODUCTION
Western Australia has the longest coastline of all
the Australian States, covering approximately
12500 km .and over 21 degrees of latitude. It is
bathed by waters of fluctuating quality that in
general reflect changes in latitude and bathymetry.
The shallow nearshore waters encompass several
major biogeographic regions, namely the tropical
Dampierian Province in the north and the
temperate Flindersian Province in the south; the
two meet on the central west coast in a broad
overlap zone that Hutchins (1994) referred to as the
Leeuwin Province. These two regions support
markedly different ecosystems: coral reefs and
mangroves characterise the north, whereas rocky
reefs and seagrass beds exemplify the south. The
overlapping zone supports elements of both
regions. This biogeographic complexity is enhanced
further by the variation of its shelf waters, the
deeper, colder seas of the south coast and Great
Australian Bight contrasting the warm, relatively
shallow seas of the North West and Sahul shelves.
Additionally, the inclusion within the State's
boundaries of three groups of offshore coral atolls Rowley Shoals, Scott/Seringapatam reefs and
Ashmore Reef 1 - greatly augments the biotic
diversity. They lie either on or just off the shelf
break and support flora and fauna more atuned to
the rich Indonesian region to the north. The shelf
break also marks the start of a distinctive deepwater
biota that inhabits waters of the continental slope
region. In contrast, freshwater plants and animals
occupy inland waterways where bathymetry plays
a minor role but latitudinal partitioning of tropical
and temperate elements is still prominent. Without
doubt, Western Australia is capable of supporting
aquatic life forms of immense variety, none more so
than its 3 000 species of fishes.
Ashrnore Reef is administered by the Commonwealth of Australia.
Western Australia is uniquely advantaged by

being the only Australian State with comprehensive
tropical and temperate elements in its fish fauna.
The nearshore tropical species of its northern seas
rival those of Queensland's Great Barrier Reef in
diversity (Hutchins, 1999), and have much in
common with southern Indonesia and other areas
of the Indo-West Pacific (AlIen and Swainston
1988). Its temperate fauna shares many species with
southern and south-eastern Australia, as well as
possessing a distinctive endemic component
(Hutchins, 1994). Subtropical species inhabiting the
central west coast are found nowhere else in
Australia, although many have apparent sister
species at similar latitudes on the east coast.
Western Australia lacks many of the nearshore cold
temperate fishes of Victoria and Tasmania
(Hutchins, 1994), but its outer shelf and slope
species have much in common with those of other
States. Nevertheless, the slope fauna was recently
shown (Williams et al., 1996) to include a prominent
number of undescribed species. The purposes of the
present paper, therefore, are firstly, to report on this
biodiversity in the form of a an up-to-date checklist
of all known marine and freshwater fishes of
Western Australia, and secondly, to provide
information on the sources utilised - both published
and unpublished - to prepare this list. The latter
covers the past 25 years, but does not include
unpublished reports that are either not readily
available through research libraries or which lack
substantive results. Furthermore, taxonomic
reviews that are often a source of distributional data
generally have not been incorporated for brevity.
Unfortunately not all of the species listed in these
sources have been verified so this list must be
considered tentative. It will be updated as new
information becomes available (it is proposed to
10
make these updates available through the Western

Australian Museum's web site).
SPECIES LISTS
The first list of Western Australian fishes was
prepared by Woodward (1902), and totalled 157
species. Whitley (1948) increased this to
approximately 740 species, a figure that was
subsequently doubled by AlIen (1985) to 1540. The
present list totals 3,127 species, and is indicative of
the high level of survey activity that has occurred in
the State over the past thirty years. Numerous State
and Federal Government agencies were involved,
most conducting investigations of specific regions
and/ or faunas. For example, commencing in the
early 1970's, the Western Australian Museum
surveyed many coastal, offshore and riverine
localities from the Great Australian Bight to the
Kimberley. This study concentrated on reef fishes,
but inhabitants of seagrass beds, trawling grounds,
mangroves and freshwater habitats also were
targeted. In addition, Commonwealth Scientific
Research Organisation (CSIRO) Marine Research
has undertaken an extensive trawling program in
offshore waters since the late 1970's, particularly
in the North West Shelf area, and the State's
Fisheries Department was involved in a similar
program along the west and south coasts. The
latter also investigated estuarine and embayment
fishes, especially in the south west, and more
recently has been working on line and trap-caught
species of the north west. The Australian Institute
of Marine Science (AIMS) has been studying the
fishes of Ningaloo Reef and the offshore atolls
since 1993, while the Department of Conservation
and Land Management (CALM) has recently
commenced an investigation of sites showing
potential for marine reservation. Murdoch
University examined estuarine fishes of the south
west, and subsequently expanded this
investigation to include freshwater and
embayment species of the area. Many of these
studies are still in progress, and new additions to
the State's fish list continue to be made.
The species list presented below is arranged
phylogenetically by family following Yearsley et
al. (1997). A total of 289 families are represented,
the most abundant being the Gobiidae with 229
species. This by far surpasses the next most
abundant family, the Labridae, which contains 130
species, and is followed by the Serranidae (108
species), the Pomacentridae (106 species), the
Apogonidae (98 species), the Scorpaenidae (75
species) and the Myctophidae (67 species). Most of
these families are comprised of reef species from
shallow waters, the exception being the
Myctophidae whose members inhabit ocean
depths to about 1000 m (Paxton et al., 1989).
J.B. Hutchins
Common names for the families have also been

provided, but suitable names for a number of them
could not be found.
Introduced species are also included, although
not all of the 20 species concerned are still found in
Western Australia. Some are translocated species
(see Morrissy, 1995), whereas others were
accidently introduced in ships' ballast water
(Pollard, 1990) (all are denoted by the word
"introduced" in square brackets).
The list contains undescribed species as well as
species of uncertain identity; these are all cited with
the sources of their discovery in square brackets.
Many of those with uncertain indentities were
collected from deep waters (e.g. see Williams et al.,
1996), and current and future investigations may
result in many of these being described as new (e.g.
Iwamoto and Williams, 1999).
Many of the scientific names used here for the
first time (in a list of Western Australian fishes)
represent new records, but others are emended
names for species that were earlier misidentified.
The latter is an ongoing process, and future listings
of the State's fishes will doubtlessly include
alternate names for some of these species. For this
reason, no attempt has been made to indicate which
names represent emendations; instead the reader is
advised to check the latest generic or family reviews
of the pertinent taxa. Furthermore, most new
records for the State have been cited in the sources
listed below, so they are not specially indicated
here.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I would like to thank RA How and M.S. Harvey
who invited me to contribute a checklist of fishes
for this publication. In addition, the following gave
invaluable advice on particular families: G.R Allen
(Pomacentridae, Apogonidae), AC. Gill (Pseudochromidae), D.F. Hoese and H.K. Larson (Gobiidae,
Eleotrididae), RH. Kuiter (Syngnathidae, Apogonidae), T.A Munroe (Cynoglossidae, Soleidae), J.G.
Nielsen (Bythitidae, Ophidiidae, Carapidae), J.E.
Randall (Labridae, Acanthuridae) and A Williams
(Macrouridae, Bathygadidae). D. Polack and J.
Pogonoski provided many suggestions and helped
erradicate numerous errors in an early draft of the
paper. Finally the constructive criticisms of two
referees, G.K. Yearsley and G.R AlIen, improved
this paper significantly.
