In the survey of Taiwan endemic species, we used scuba-diving and benthic trawl to map the distribution of Amblyeleotris bleekeri and Cirrhoscyllium formosanum, respectively. The result showed that Amblyeleotris bleekeri was rare, inhabited mainly in the waters near Ye-Liu. The species was previously sighted off Yan-Liao, but was not observed this year. Cirrhoscyllium formosanum was even rarer, with only one fish caught during the last two years. The main habitat of the fish is believed to be around 200 m at Kaoping trench.
Furthermore, there were findings of three uncommon species: a Kraemeria sp. in Dong-Sha Islands, a Scorpaena sp. in southern Taiwan and a Apogon sp. in eastern Taiwan. More bio-geographical information is needed to confirm whether they are endemic to Taiwan. |
