An Annotated Checklist of the Fishes of Samoa

All fishes currently known from the Samoan Islands are listed by their scientific and Samoan names. Species entries are annotated to include the initial Samoan distributional record, synonyms used in earlier publications dealing with Samoan fishes, and comments relating to taxonomy, ecology, and distribution. New species records resulting from recent collections by the author and others are included. Brief diagnoses are provided for undescribed and unidentified species. The list totals 991 species representing 113 families; 284 of the species are previously unrecorded from Samoa and 38 of the entries are unconfirmed records derived mostly from 19th century publications.
