Three seamoth specimens (45.5–56.9 mm standard length; SL) (Syngnathiformes: Pegasidae), originally identified as Pegasus laternarius Cuvier, 1829, but now recognized as representing P. nanhaiensis Zhang, Wang et Lin, 2020, a species recently described from the northern South China Sea off Yangjiang and Beihai, China, were obtained at a local fish market in Maha Chai, Samut Sakhon Province, Thailand on 6 July 2012, having been caught in the northern Gulf of Thailand. In addition, single specimens, reported as P. laternarius or Spinipegasus laternarius from Bidong Island, South China Sea off the Malay Peninsula (46.1 mm SL) and from Ko Kradat, Trat Province, eastern Gulf of Thailand (66.1 mm SL), were re-identified here as P. nanhaiensis. Thai specimens and Malaysian record represent the first records of P. nanhaiensis from Thailand and Malaysia, respectively, and from outside Chinese coastal waters. Additionally, the Bidong specimen is the southernmost record for the species. The fresh coloration of P. nanhaiensis is described for the first time.

Resonant Period

Abstract. The Gulf of Thailand is dominated by diurnal tides, which indicates that the resonant period of the gulf is potentially close to one day. However, when applied to the gulf, the classic quarter wavelength resonant theory fails to give a diurnal resonant period. In this study, we first perform a series of numerical experiments showing that the resonant period of the gulf is approximately one day and that the resonance of the South China Sea body has a critical impact on the resonance of the gulf. In contrast, the resonance of the Gulf of Thailand has little influence on the resonance of the South China Sea body. An idealised two-channel model that can reasonably explain the dynamics of the tidal resonance in the Gulf of Thailand is then established in this study.

Sipunculan worms from the Vietnamese waters are still poorly investigated, while they are well known from Chinese andTaiwanese waters of the South China Sea. During the years 2008–2010, therefore, we collected sipunculans from NhaTrang Bay in South Vietnam. Twenty species of peanut worms representing eleven genera and five families of the phylumSipuncula are recognized from more than one thousand individuals collected from various biotopes. Fifteen species arenew records for Nha Trang Bay with Nephasoma pellucidum being a new record for the South China Sea. Species accountsinclude the most important taxonomic characters as well as quantitative characteristics, distributions, and specific biotopedata. All species were illustrated in living conditions with everted introvert and tentacular apparatus. Accordingly, a key up to species level is provided.
