鳜亚科SINIPERCINAE鱼类的分类整理和地理分布

鳜亚科鱼类仅产于东亚。通过对中国各地、日本和朝鲜标本的研究,本文把鳜亚科鱼类总结为鳜、长体鳜和少鳞鳜3属11种,还对过去一些种的异名作了讨论,提出了看法。 本亚科共有3属9种分布于中国,另两种少鳞鳜只见于日本和朝鲜,是日本和朝鲜地区的特有种。越南有3种记录(Mai,1978)。其中鳜鱼和斑鳜分布最北,是横跨东洋地区和古北区的两个广布种。其他各种皆集中分布于江、淮流域以南,主要在长江流域以南和红河流域以东,但台湾省无鳜类分布。长江流域以南低纬度的华南区是鳜亚科鱼类的分布中心。

ON THE CLASSIFICATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE SINIPERCINAE FISHES (FAMILY SERRANIDAE)

The sjnipercine fishes are one of the economically important freshwater fishes in China. They are widely distributed in the waters of the country, but only a few species have been found in Korea, Japan and north Vietnam.Based on the comparative observation of the wide collections of the fishes from China and specimens from Japan and Korea, the Sinipercinae can be classified into 11 species belonging to 3 genera in East Asia. Their geographical distribution is given in taole 2, from which it is obvious that the sini-percine fishes are mainly distributed in China except in Taiwan Province.Siniperca chuatsi and S. scherzeri, being distributed from Red River to northeastern China and in Korea, are two species dispersing over low and high latitudes. Coreoperca whiteheadi is found in south China and in the Red River of north Vietnam. C. kawamebari is restricted in Japan and Korea, while C. herzi may occur in Korea only. The existance of C. herzi in China is somewhat doubtful, though it was mentioned by previous writers. Coreosiniperca roulei, the single species of the third genus, is in south China only.9 out of the 11 species of Sinipercinae are distributed in Chinese waters. It is clear that China is the chief locality of the sinipercine fishes and that majority of species are found in south Yangtze vally and the tributaries of the Pearl River. This area can be the centre of distribution of Sinipercinae.
