, This is only from 1950 on, that the number of species started to increase sharply. This increase in knowledge was mainly due to publications from the Scientific Research Institute of Madagascar based in Soalara, south of Toliara (Angot 1950, Fourmanoir 1957, among others), and ORSTOM in Nosy Be (Fourmanoir 1963 among others). The number of fish species also increased due to the studies performed by scientists from the Marine Station in Toliara (Maugé 1967), now Institut Halieutique et des Sciences Marines or IH.SM. The number of fish species present in Madagascar has increased steadily since the middle of the 20 th century; this present study adding a total of 158 new records (Fig. 61). Among the fish species present in Madagascar, the largest order is the Perciformes with 967 species (53.8% of the total, Fig. 62a) followed by Anguilliformes (105 species, 5.8%). The largest family is the Gobiidae with Figure 61. Number of new fish species identified per year as being present in Madagascar and total number of fish species from Madagascar since the end of the 18th century, Discussion Fish fauna of Madagascar: The fish fauna of Madagascar EEZ comprises a total of 1,798 species in 247 families and 47 orders. Fish species from Madagascar have been described since the end of the 18 th century, Istiophorus platypterus being recorded from Madagascar through the original description of Scomber gladius by Bloch in 1793
