Pholidae
''Pholidae'' is a family of marine ray-finned fishes, known as gunnels, in the scorpaeniform suborder Zoarcoidei. These are fishes of the littoral zone and are mainly found in North Pacific Ocean, with two species found in the North Atlantic Ocean and Arctic Ocean. Taxonomy Pholidae was first put forward as a family in 1893 by the American zoologist Theodore Gill. The 5th edition of '' Fishes of the World'' classifies this family within the suborder Zoarcoidei, within the order Scorpaeniformes. Other authorities classify this family in the infraorder Zoarcales wihin the suborder Cottoidei of the Perciformes because removing the Scorpaeniformes from the Perciformes renders that taxon non monophyletic. Etymology and spelling Pholidae is derived from the name of the type genus ''Pholis'' which is an Ancient Greek name for a fish that hides in a hole, the name dating at least as far in history as Aristotle. The family has been spelled as Pholididae, and this is grammatically corre ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pholinae
''Pholis'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the Family (biology), family Pholidae, the gunnels. These fishes are found in shallow coastal waters of the North Pacific, Arctic and North Atlantic Oceans. Taxonomy ''Pholis'' was first proposed as a genus in 1777 by the Italian naturalist Giovanni Antonio Scopoli. The type species was later designated to be ''Blennius gunnellus'', which Linnaeus had Species description, described in 1758 in the 10th edition of the ''Systema Naturae''. The genus is the only genus in the Monotypic taxon, monotypic subfamily Pholinae, one of two subfamilies in the family Pholidae. The genus name ''Pholis'' is an Ancient Greek name for a fish that hides in a hole, the name dating at least as far back in history to Aristotle. Species ''Pholis'' contains 11 species: Characteristics Philos species have the elongate, compressed bodies of other gunnels.

Rhodymenichthys
The stippled gunnel (''Rhodymenichthys dolichogaster'') is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Pholidae, the gunnels. It is the only species in the monospecific genus ''Rhodymenichthys''. It is found in the northern North Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy The stippled gunnel was first formally described as ''Blennius dolichogaster'' in 1814 by the German zoologist and botanist Peter Simon Pallas with its type locality given as Kamchatka. In 1836 Achille Valenciennes described a new species ''Gunnellus ruberrimus'' from the Kuril Islands and in 1896 David Starr Jordan and Barton Warren Evermann designated ''G. ruberrimus'' as the type species of the new genus ''Rhodymenichthys''. ''G. ruberrimus'' was later considered to be a junior synonym of Pallas's ''B. dolichogaster''. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies this taxon within the subfamily Apodichthyinae, one of two subfamilies in the family Pholidae with the other being the monogeneric Pholinae.

Ulvicola
The kelp gunnel (''Ulvicola sanctaerosae'') is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Pholidae, the gunnels. It is the only species in the monospecific genus ''Ulvicola''. It is found in the eastern North Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy The kelp gunnel was first formally described in 1897 by the American ichthyologists Charles Henry Gilbert & Edwin Chapin Starks with its type locality given as Santa Rosa Island in California. Gilbert and Starks placed their new species in the new monospecific genus ''Ulvicola''. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies this taxon within the subfamily Apodichthyinae, one of two subfamilies in the family Pholidae with the other being the monogeneric Pholinae. However, some authorities, place this species within the genus '' Apodichthys''. Etymology The kelp gunnel's generic name, ''Ulvicola'', means an inhabitant of ''Ulva'', the genus off sea lettuce, possible a reference to its rockpool habitat and its specific name re ...

Zoarcoidei
Zoarcoidei is a suborder of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the order Scorpaeniformes. The suborder includes the wolffishes, gunnels and eelpouts. The suborder includes about 400 species. These fishes predominantly found in the boreal seas of the northern hemisphere but they have colonised the southern hemisphere. Taxonomy Zoarcoidei was first proposed as a taxonomic grouping by the American zoologist Theodore Gill in 1893 as the superfamily Zoarceoidea. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies the Zoarcoidei as a suborder within the order Scorpaeniformes. Other authorities classify this taxon as the infraorder Zoarcales wihin the suborder Cottoidei of the Perciformes because removing the Scorpaeniformes from the Perciformes renders that taxon non monophyletic. The monophyly of this grouping has still not been fully ascertained but it is generally accepted that the most basal family is Bathymasteridae.

Crescent Gunnel
The crescent gunnel (''Pholis laeta''), also known as the bracketed blenny, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Pholidae, the gunnels. This fish occurs in the shallow coastal waters of the eastern North Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy The crescent gunnel was first formally described in 1873 by the American paleontologist and biologist Edward Drinker Cope with the type locality given as Sitka or Unalaska in Alaska. The specific name ''laeta'' means "joyful", "glad" or "pleasant", Cope did not explain his choice of this name but did refer to the types as “rather brilliantly colored” specimens. Description ''Pholis laeta'', like other gunnels, is somewhat eel-like. It grows to a maximum total length of . The dorsal fin contains between 74 and 80 spines and the anal fin contains 35 to 37. soft rays. The caudal fin is rounded and the pelvic fins are tiny.

Scorpaeniformes
The Scorpaeniformes are a diverse order of ray-finned fish, including the lionfishes and sculpins, but have also been called the Scleroparei. It is one of the five largest orders of bony fishes by number of species, with over 1,320. They are known as "mail-cheeked" fishes due to their distinguishing characteristic, the suborbital stay: a backwards extension of the third circumorbital bone (part of the lateral head/cheek skeleton, below the eye socket) across the cheek to the pre operculum, to which it is connected in most species. Scorpaeniform fishes are carnivorous, mostly feeding on crustaceans and on smaller fish. Most species live on the sea bottom in relatively shallow waters, although species are known from deep water, from the midwater, and even from fresh water. They typically have spiny heads, and rounded pectoral and caudal fins. Most species are less than in length, but the full size range of the order varies from the velvetfishes belonging to the family Aploactin ...

Perciformes
Perciformes (), also called the Percomorpha or Acanthopteri, is an order or superorder of ray-finned fish. If considered a single order, they are the most numerous order of vertebrates, containing about 41% of all bony fish. Perciformes means "perch-like". Perciformes is an Order within the Clade Percomorpha consisting of "perch-like" Percomorphans. This group comprises over 10,000 species found in almost all aquatic ecosystems. The order contains about 160 families, which is the most of any order within the vertebrates. It is also the most variably sized order of vertebrates, ranging from the ''Schindleria brevipinguis'' to the marlin in the genus ''Makaira''. They first appeared and diversified in the Late Cretaceous. Among the well-known members of this group are perch and darters (Percidae), sea bass and groupers (Serranidae). Characteristics The dorsal and anal fins are divided into anterior spiny and posterior soft-rayed portions, which may be partially or compl ...

Charles Henry Gilbert
Charles Henry Gilbert (December 5, 1859 in Rockford, Illinois – April 20, 1928 in Palo Alto, California) was a pioneer ichthyologist and Fisheries science, fishery biologist of particular significance to natural history of the western United States. He collected and studied fishes from Central America north to Alaska and described many new species. Later he became an expert on Pacific salmon and was a noted conservation movement, conservationist of the Pacific Northwest. He is considered by many as the intellectual founder of American fisheries biology. He was one of the 22 "pioneer professors" (founding faculty) of Stanford University. Early life and education Born in Rockford, Illinois, Gilbert spent his early years in Indianapolis, Indiana, where he came under the influence of his high school teacher, David Starr Jordan (1851‒1931). When Jordan became Professor of Natural History at Butler University in Indianapolis, Gilbert followed and received his B.A. degree in 187 ...
