		Early Life History of the Nurseryfish, Kurtus Gulliveri (Perciformes: Kurtidae), from Northern Australia
		Eggs and larvae of nurseryfish, Kurtus gulliveri, one of the two know species of the Kurtidae, are described and illustrated for the first time using material collected in two rivers of Australia's Northern Territory.

	SICB - 2002 meeting - Abstract Details (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The present study utilizes the RAG-1 gene to resolve differences between families of Perciform fishes.
		As a foundation for this study, the family Kurtidae was used as our model due to its vague placement among the Perciformes.
		In order to determine its systematic location, approximately 1500 bases of the RAG-1 gene were sequenced and phylogenetically analyzed for the Kurtidae and 20 other representative families, including outgroups.

	Paternity Suits Them - National Zoo\| FONZ
		After he fertilizes them, she sucks the eggs into her mouth and returns them to the male, who then holds them in his mouth for protection, a behavior called "mouthbrooding." In three species of the South American catfish Loricaria, the male carries the eggs attached to his lower lip.
		And in the Kurtidae, a little-known group of fish that live in streams and small rivers along the coast of western Australia, males carry the eggs on a hook that projects from the back of the neck and over the top of the head.
		Perhaps the most famous egg-carrying male fish are the sea horses and pipefish that carry the eggs either attached to their bellies or in brood pouches.

	New cardinal fish genus \| Practical Fishkeeping magazine
		The new fish is similar to Archamia but has foliiform-widened pleural ribs on vertebrae five to nine, as well as a number of other distinguishing features.
		According to Prokofiev, the new genus has osteological structures that have striking similarities to members of the family Kurtidae, and he postulates that the two are closely related.
		For more information see the paper: Prokofiev, AM (2006) - A New Genus of Cardinalfishes (Perciformes: Apogonidae) from the South China Sea, with a Discussion of the Relationships between the Families Apogonidae and Kurtidae.
