【摘要】 2004年8月对湛江徐闻西海岸柳珊瑚资源进行调查,共采得柳珊瑚16种,分别属于7科14属;基本查清该海区柳珊瑚的分布状况。根据柳珊瑚群体颜色及骨针的形态学特征,系统阐述徐闻西海岸柳珊瑚的系统分类关系,第一次系统研究了徐闻柳珊瑚的资源状况。结合国际上最新的柳珊瑚分类系统,对国内原有的形态分类系统作出了更新和改进,这将有助于国际上认同和了解中国柳珊瑚资源情况。研究发现了1个新记录科、4个新记录属和1个新记录种。等柳珊瑚科Parisididae为新记录科,Parisis、Paraplexaura、Villogorgia、Dichotella为新记录属,鞭柳珊瑚Ellisella maculataStuder,1878,为新记录种。更多还原

【Abstract】 A survey on the gorgonian corals at Xuwen,Guangdong province was undertaken in August of 2004.Total 16 species of gorgonians,belonging to 14 genera of 7 families,were collected from the west seashore of Xuwen county.According to the colour of the colonies and the morphological characteristics of the sclerites,the systematic relation of these gorgonians was depicted.This report delineated the gorgonian systematics by the newest taxonomy in the world,updated and improved the taxonomic system of gorgonians in China,which would promote the international recognition and understanding for the gorgonian resources in China.A new record species(Ellisella maculata Studer 1878),four new record genera(Parisis, Paraplexaura,Villogorgia,Dichotella),and one new record family(Parisididae) were found in this study.更多还原
