Abstract: | The species composition of anemonefishes (Amphiprioninae) and host sea anemones (Actiniaria: Actiniidae, Stichodactylidae) from the Con Son Islands is given for the first time. The investigations carried out in archipelago waters revealed four species of the anemonefishes associated with four species of the host sea anemones: Amphiprion freanatus in the symbiosis with sea anemone Entacmaea quadricolor (Actiniidae), A. perideraion with sea anemone Heteractis magnifica (Stichodactylidae), A. sandaracinos with sea anemone Stichodactyla mertensii (Stichodactylidae), and A. polymnus with sea anemone S. haddoni. The possibility of larval carrying in one more species of anemonefishes, i.e., A. clarkii, into the water area of the Con Son Islands from the nearby regions of the South China Sea is discussed. The view on the probable revealing of this species in the investigated region in the future is expressed. |
