Amblycirrhitus
''Amblycirrhitus'' is a genus of ray-finned fishes, hawkfishes belonging to the family Cirrhitidae. These fishes are found on tropical reefs worldwide. Taxonomy ''Amblycirrhitus'' was originally described as a genus in 1862 by the American ichthyologist Theodore Nicholas Gill with the type species designated as ''Cirrhites fasciatus'', which is a synonym of ''Amblycirrhitus pinos'', as this name for a taxon described in 1829 by Cuvier’s was preoccupied. The genus name is a compound of ''ambly'' which means “blunt” which Gill did not explain but which may be an allusion to the “abbreviated” head of the type species or possibly of its “slightly convex” snout, and ''Cirrhitus'', the type genus of family. Species The currently recognized species in this genus are: * '' Amblycirrhitus bimacula'' ( O. P. Jenkins, 1903) (twospot hawkfish) * '' Amblycirrhitus earnshawi'' Lubbock, 1978 * '' Amblycirrhitus oxyrhynchos'' (Bleeker, 1858) * '' Amblycirrhitus pinos'' ( Mowbray, ...

Amblycirrhitus Bimacula
The twospot hawkfish (''Amblycirrhitus bimacula''), or twinspot hawkfish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a hawkfish belonging to the family Cirrhitidae. it is found in the Indo-Pacific. It can be found in the aquarium trade. Taxonomy The twospot hawkfish was first formally described in 1903 as ''Cirrhitoidea bimacula'' by the American zoologist Oliver Peebles Jenkins with the type locality given as Honolulu. The specific name ''bimacula'' means “two spot” a reference to the two spots, one on the operculum and the other on the upper body towards the caudal fin. Description The twospot hawkfish has a body which has a depth which is approximately one third of its standard length. The dorsal fin has 10 spines and 12 soft rays while the anal fin has 3spines and 6 soft rays. This species grows to a maximum length of . This species has undulating reddish-brown bars on the flanks. There is a large pale margined black spot on the opercle, and a similar spot at the rear ov ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hawkfish
Cirrhitidae, the hawkfishes, are a family of marine perciform ray-finned fishes found in tropical seas and which are associated with coral reefs. Taxonomy The Cirrhitidae were first recognised as a family by the Scots-born Australian naturalist William Sharp Macleay in 1841. It is one of the 5 constituent families in the superfamily Cirrhitoidea which is classified in the suborder Percoidei of the order Perciformes. Within the Cirrhitoidea, the Cirrhitidae is probably the most basal family. They have been placed in the order Centrarchiformes by some authorities, as part of the superfamily Cirrhitoidea, however, the 5th edition of Fishes of the World does not recognise the Centrarchiformes. The name of the family is taken from that of the genus ''Cirrhitus'' which is derived from ''cirrhus'' meaning a "lock of hair" or "a barbel", thought to be a reference to lower, unbranched rays of the pectoral fins which Bernard Germain de Lacépède termed as “''barbillons''”, which mea ...

Anus
The anus (Latin, 'ring' or 'circle') is an opening at the opposite end of an animal's digestive tract from the mouth. Its function is to control the expulsion of feces, the residual semi-solid waste that remains after food digestion, which, depending on the type of animal, includes: matter which the animal cannot digest, such as bones; Summary at food material after the nutrients have been extracted, for example cellulose or lignin; ingested matter which would be toxic if it remained in the digestive tract; and dead or excess gut bacteria and other endosymbionts. Amphibians, reptiles, and birds use the same orifice (known as the cloaca) for excreting liquid and solid wastes, for copulation and egg-laying. Monotreme mammals also have a cloaca, which is thought to be a feature inherited from the earliest amniotes via the therapsids. Marsupials have a single orifice for excreting both solids and liquids and, in females, a separate vagina for reproduction. Female placental mamm ...

Pectoral Fin
Fins are distinctive anatomical features composed of bony spines or rays protruding from the body of a fish. They are covered with skin and joined together either in a webbed fashion, as seen in most bony fish, or similar to a flipper, as seen in sharks. Apart from the tail or caudal fin, fish fins have no direct connection with the spine and are supported only by muscles. Their principal function is to help the fish swim. Fins located in different places on the fish serve different purposes such as moving forward, turning, keeping an upright position or stopping. Most fish use fins when swimming, flying fish use pectoral fins for gliding, and frogfish use them for crawling. Fins can also be used for other purposes; male sharks and mosquitofish use a modified fin to deliver sperm, thresher sharks use their caudal fin to stun prey, reef stonefish have spines in their dorsal fins that inject venom, anglerfish use the first spine of their dorsal fin like a fishing rod ...

Cirrhitus
''Cirrhitus'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fish, hawkfishes from the family Cirrhitidae. The species in this genus are found on tropical reefs worldwide. Taxonomy ''Cirrhites'' was first formally described as a genus in 1803 by the French naturalist Bernard Germain de Lacépède, Lacépède created it as a monotypic genus for his newly described species from Mauritius, ''Cirrhitus maculatus''. However, it was later shown that Lacépède's ''C. maculatus'' was synonymous with ''Labrus pinnulatus'' described in manuscript by the German naturalist and explorer Johann Reinhold Forster from Tahiti. Forster's was the basis of the description published in 1801 by Johann Gottlob Schneider in his and Marcus Elieser Bloch's ''Systema Ichthyologiae'', although ''Catalog of Fishes'' attributes the name to Forster. The name of this genus is dereived from ''cirrhus'' meaning a "lock of hair" or a "barbel", Lacépède did not explain what he feature the name alludes to. It may be allu ...

Louis Leon Arthur Mowbray
Louis Leon Arthur Mowbray (born 19 August 1877 on St. George's, Bermuda; died 5 June 1952) was a Bermudian naturalist. Life Mowbray was the only son of schoolteacher William Mowbray and his wife Mary Ann Brown. His father emigrated from Louisiana to Bermuda Island in 1870. In 1906, he observed a live Bermuda petrel of which he wrote the scientific description in 1916 together with John Treadwell Nichols. In 1907, he married Hilda Higinbotham. Their son Louis Mowbray rediscovered the Bermuda petrel in 1951 together with Robert Cushman Murphy and David B. Wingate. Louis Leon Arthur Mowbray was hired by the Bermuda Natural History Society as director for Bermuda's first aquarium. He ran the aquarium until 1911. In 1911, he became director of the South Boston Aquarium which he ran for three years. In 1914, he became superintendent of the New York Aquarium. Between 1919 and 1923 he spent in Miami where he built up and ran a new aquarium. In 1923, he rejoined the staff of the New York A ...
