Melanotaenia nigrans Richardson
No full textMelanotaenia nigrans Richardson Blackbanded Rainbowfish Extremely rare within the Kimberley region, Melanotaenia nigrans is only known from one small tributary in Dominic Creek near the mouth of the King Edward River (Fig. 21), and although WAM records suggest it is present in Yampi Sound, recent examination of these specimens by the senior author revealed them to be M. australis. The species is also found in coastal drainages of the Northern Territory, including Groote Eylandt and the northern tip of Cape York (Allen et al. 2002).Published as part of Morgan, David L., Allen, Gerald R., Pusey, Bradley J. & Burrows, Damien W., 2011, 2816, pp. 1-64 in Zootaxa 2816 on page 1

Glossamia aprion
No full textGlossamia aprion (Richardson) Mouth Almighty Glossamia aprion is the only freshwater representative in the Kimberley of the large, typically marine, family Apogonidae. Widespread throughout the Kimberley, G. aprion has a fragmented distribution but is common in the Fitzroy, Carson and Ord Rivers, with the species also reported from the Lawley, Durack and Pentecost Rivers (Fig. 37).Published as part of Morgan, David L., Allen, Gerald R., Pusey, Bradley J. & Burrows, Damien W., 2011, 2816, pp. 1-64 in Zootaxa 2816 on page 1
Parambassis gulliveri
No full textParambassis gulliveri (Castelnau) Giant Glassfish Parambassis gulliveri, the largest ambassid in Australia and within the Kimberley (Allen & Burgess 1990), is found throughout the Ord River system from the headwaters to the lower reaches (Fig. 26). It is not known from any other Kimberley river.Published as part of Morgan, David L., Allen, Gerald R., Pusey, Bradley J. & Burrows, Damien W., 2011, 2816, pp. 1-64 in Zootaxa 2816 on page 1
Anodontiglanis dahli Rendahl
No full textAnodontiglanis dahli Rendahl Toothless Catfish While Anodontiglanis dahli is widespread throughout the Northern Territory and Gulf of Carpentaria (Allen et al. 2002), within the Kimberley the species is known only from the Fitzroy River (Fig. 8). Within this river the species is typically found within the main channel and is widespread.Published as part of Morgan, David L., Allen, Gerald R., Pusey, Bradley J. & Burrows, Damien W., 2011, 2816, pp. 1-64 in Zootaxa 2816 on page 1
Craterocephalus helenae Ivantsoff, Crowley and Allen
No full textCraterocephalus helenae Ivantsoff, Crowley and Allen Drysdale Hardyhead Craterocephalus helenae is endemic to the Drysdale River system in the Kimberley (Fig. 15). The species is widespread throughout this system and is apparently abundant in both the upper and lower sections of the main channel (Fig. 15) (Allen et al. 2002).Published as part of Morgan, David L., Allen, Gerald R., Pusey, Bradley J. & Burrows, Damien W., 2011, 2816, pp. 1-64 in Zootaxa 2816 on page 1
Melanotaenia exquisita Allen
No full textMelanotaenia exquisita Allen Exquisite Rainbowfish Only known from the King George River in the Kimberley (Fig. 19), Melanotaenia exquisita is also found in tributaries of a number of Northern Territory rivers, including the Katherine, Edith, Mary, South Alligator and Fergusson (Allen 1978, Allen et al. 2002).Published as part of Morgan, David L., Allen, Gerald R., Pusey, Bradley J. & Burrows, Damien W., 2011, 2816, pp. 1-64 in Zootaxa 2816 on page 1
Melanotaenia pygmaea Allen
No full textMelanotaenia pygmaea Allen Pygmy Rainbowfish Endemic to the Prince Regent River system in the Kimberley, Melanotaenia pygmaea is known from only a few locations within this system and is one of the more restricted Kimberley freshwater fishes (Fig. 22).Published as part of Morgan, David L., Allen, Gerald R., Pusey, Bradley J. & Burrows, Damien W., 2011, 2816, pp. 1-64 in Zootaxa 2816 on page 1
Kimberleyeleotris notata Hoese and Allen
No full textKimberleyeleotris notata Hoese and Allen Drysdale Gudgeon Kimberleyeleotris notata is known only from two specimens collected at a single site in the Drysdale River by Hutchins (1977) (Fig. 46). Thus, it is potentially the most restricted and rarest species of freshwater fish in the Kimberley, if not Australia.Published as part of Morgan, David L., Allen, Gerald R., Pusey, Bradley J. & Burrows, Damien W., 2011, 2816, pp. 1-64 in Zootaxa 2816 on page 1
Toxotes chatareus
No full textToxotes chatareus (Hamilton) Sevenspot Archerfish Within Western Australia, the species appears to be typically restricted to the northern and eastern Kimberley (Fig. 38) and collections suggest that they are in the Fitzroy, Calder, Prince Regent (brackish water below King Cascade), Lawley, Carson (and lower King Edward), Durack, Pentecost and Ord River. The only known specimens reported from the Fitzroy River (WAM P.2620-001, and P.25434-004), which were examined by the senior author, correspond to T. kimberleyensis. Thus, the distribution should only include the rivers north and east of the Calder River.Published as part of Morgan, David L., Allen, Gerald R., Pusey, Bradley J. & Burrows, Damien W., 2011, 2816, pp. 1-64 in Zootaxa 2816 on page 1
