Charles Tate Regan
Charles Tate Regan FRS (1 February 1878 – 12 January 1943) was a British ichthyologist, working mainly around the beginning of the 20th century. He did extensive work on fish classification schemes. Born in Sherborne, Dorset, he was educated at Derby School and Queens' College, Cambridge and in 1901 joined the staff of the Natural History Museum, where he became Keeper of Zoology, and later director of the entire museum, in which role he served from 1927 to 1938. Regan was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1917. Regan mentored a number of scientists, among them Ethelwynn Trewavas, who continued his work at the British Natural History Museum. Species Among the species he described is the Siamese fighting fish (''Betta splendens''). In turn, a number of fish species have been named ''regani'' in his honour: *A Thorny Catfish '' Anadoras regani'' (Steindachner, 1908) *The Dwarf Cichlid '' Apistogramma regani'' *'' Apogon regani'' *A Catfish '' Astroblepus regani'' * ...

Sherborne
Sherborne is a market town and civil parish in north west Dorset, in South West England. It is sited on the River Yeo, on the edge of the Blackmore Vale, east of Yeovil. The parish includes the hamlets of Nether Coombe and Lower Clatcombe. The A30 road, which connects London to Penzance, runs through the town. In the 2011 census the population of Sherborne parish and the two electoral wards was 9,523. 28.7% of the population is aged 65 or older.

Salvelinus Inframundus
''Salvelinus inframundus'', also known as Orkney charr is a cold-water fish in the family Salmonidae which is endemic to Scotland. Description ''Salvelinus inframundus'' has the following characteristics which in combination make this taxon different from other "Arctic charr" in Great Britain. It has a relatively shallow body which is less than a fifth of its body length, it has an inferiorly positioned mouth, the pectoral fins are 67–88% the length of its head and there are 8–9 10 soft rays in the dorsal fin with 8–9 soft rays in the anal fin.

Neosalanx Regani
The ariakehimeshirauo, ''Neosalanx reganius'', is a species of icefish in the family Salangidae endemic to Japan. It is only known from Midori and Chikugo Rivers in Kyushu. Its maximum total length is , and has a lifespan of about one year. It seems to be relatively rare in its limited habitat, and is classified as an endangered species by IUCN. ''N. reganius'' is an estuarine species, usually found in turbid waters with low salinity, or in fresh water. It is a planktivore A planktivore is an aquatic organism that feeds on planktonic food, including zooplankton and phytoplankton.

Lycozoarces Regani
''Lycozoarces'' is a monospecific genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Zoarcidae, the eelpouts, its only species being ''Lycozoarces regani''. It is the only genus in the monogeneric subfamily Lycozoarinae. This taxon occurs in the northwestern Pacific Ocean in the Sea of Okhotsk and the Tatar Strait in the northern Sea of Japan Taxonomy ''Lycozoarces'' was first proposed as a genus in 1935 by the Soviet ichthyologist Alexander Mikhailovich Popov, although he had used the name in 1933 when he gave a short description and illustration of ''L. regani'' from the Strait of Tartary but not enough of a combined description to satisfy the ICZN. In 1935 he described ''L. hubbsi'' and described ''Lycozoarces'' as a new genus despite having used it in 1933. Under the ICZN Popov's first use of the generic name means that it was a '' nomen nudum'', although that did not prevent him using it in 1935 for ''L. hubbsi'', but as ''L regani'' is an older name than ''L. hubbs ...

Julidochromis Regani
The convict julie (''Julidochromis regani'') is a cichlid species in the subfamily Pseudocrenilabrinae family endemic to Lake Tanganyika. Hence it is found in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, and Zambia. The fish is named after Charles Tate Regan. This species is closely related to '' Julidochromis marlieri''. Possibly, a male common ancestor of these two hybridised with some female ''Telmatochromis'' ancestor in their evolutionary past.

Hoplichthys Regani
''Hoplichthys'', the ghost flatheads, is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans. This genus is the only member of the family Hoplichthyidae. Taxonomy Hoplichthys was first proposed as a monotypic genus in 1829 by the French zoologist Georges Cuvier when he described its type species, and only species at that time, ''H. langsdorfi'' from Japan. In 1873 the German naturalist Johann Jakob Kaup considered that the genus ''Hoplichthys'' was so different from other "flathead" taxa that it merited placing in a monogeneric family, the Hoplichthyidae. The 5th edition of '' Fishes of the World'' classifies this family within the suborder Platycephaloidei in the order Scorpaeniformes. Other authorities differ and do not consider the Scorpaeniformes to be a valid order because the Perciformes is not monophyletic without the taxa within the Scorpaeniformes being included within it. These authorities consider the Platycephalidae to belong to the subor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Holohalaelurus Regani
The Izak catshark or simply Izak (''Holohalaelurus regani'') is a species of catshark, belonging to the family Scyliorhinidae, common off the coasts of South Africa and southern Namibia. It typically inhabits the outer continental shelf at depths of , with the males found deeper than the females and juveniles. The Izak catshark has a short, wide, flattened head and a robust body tapering to a long, slender tail. It can be identified by its ornate color pattern of dark brown spots (in juveniles) or reticulations and blotches (in adults) on a light yellowish background, as well as by the enlarged dermal denticles over its pectoral fins and along its dorsal midline from the snout to the second dorsal fin. This species reaches in length, with the males larger than females. Bottom-dwelling and perhaps relatively active in nature, the Izak catshark feeds mainly on a diverse array of bony fishes, crustaceans, and cephalopods. A significant portion of its diet may be scavenged fro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hemipsilichthys Regani
''Hemipsilichthys'' is a genus of catfishes belonging to the family Loricariidae. These wide-mouthed freshwater catfishes are restricted to southeast Brazil in the Paraíba do Sul, Perequê-Áçu and Taquari river basins. ''Hemipsilichthys'', along with ''Delturus'', form a clade (Delturinae). In these two genera, members have a ridge behind their dorsal fin and an adipose fin membrane. However, in ''Hemipsilichthys'', the dorsal fin membrane and most anterior plate of the adipose fin do not touch, while they do in ''Delturus''. Species There are currently three recognized species in this genus: Additional species were formerly placed in this genus, but these are now placed in '' Pareiorhaphis''. * '' Hemipsilichthys gobio'' ( Lütken, 1874) * '' Hemipsilichthys nimius'' Pereira, Reis Reis may refer to : * Reis (surname), a Portuguese and German surname *Reis (military rank), an Ottoman military rank and obscure Lebanese/Syrian noble title Currency * Portuguese Indian ru ...

Julidochromis Regani Adult
''Julidochromis'' is a genus of cichlids in the subfamily Pseudocrenilabrinae. They are commonly called julies and are endemic to Lake Tanganyika in eastern Africa. This genus includes six formally described species, some with a number local variants of uncertain taxonomic status. Further taxonomic work is required to determine how many species exist; the closely related ''Chalinochromis'' with two more species is sometimes included here and this may be correct. Hybridization makes attempts to determine relationships with molecular phylogenetic methods difficult. These ray-finned fish are smallish to mid-sized (about ) and have a yellowish background colour with black lengthwise stripes or a checkerboard pattern. Species There are currently 6 formally described species in this genus: * ''Julidochromis dickfeldi'' Staeck, 1975 * '' Julidochromis marksmithi'' W. E. Burgess, 2014 Burgess, W.E.

Gambusia Regani
''Gambusia'' is a large genus of viviparous fish in the family Poeciliidae (order Cyprinodontiformes). ''Gambusia'' contains over 40 species, most of which are principally found in freshwater habitats, though some species may also be found in brackish or saltwater habitats. The type species is the Cuban gambusia, ''G. punctata''. The greatest species richness is in Mexico, Texas, and the Greater Antilles, but species are also found elsewhere in the eastern and southern United States, the Bahamas, Central America, and Colombia. ''Gambusia'' species are often called topminnows, or simply gambusias; they are also known as mosquitofish, which, however, refers more specifically to two species, '' G. affinis'' and '' G. holbrooki'', which are often introduced into ponds to eat mosquito larvae. As a consequence, they have been introduced widely outside their native range, and frequently become invasive, threatening local species. They are only occasionally kept in aquariums, due to th ...
