Sebastini
Sebastini is a tribe of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the subfamily Sebastinae of the family Scorpaenidae in the order Scorpaeniformes. Taxonomy Sebastini was first formally recognised as a grouping in 1873 by the German naturalist Johann Jakob Kaup.

Sebastiscus
''Sebastiscus'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the subfamily Sebastinae part of the family Scorpaenidae. These fishes are native to the western Pacific Ocean. They are collectively called sea ruffes and resemble the rockfishes in the genus ''Sebastes'', but are usually smaller and have a different pattern. Taxonomy ''Sebastiscus'' was first formally described as a subgenus of ''Sebastes'' by David Starr Jordan and Edwin Chapin Starks in 1904 with ''Sebastes marmoratus'', which had been described by Georges Cuvier in 1829, as its type species. It was regarded as a subgenus up to 1984 when it was proposed as a valid genus, albeit within the same tribe Sebastini as the speciose genus ''Sebastes'', which is one of the tribes of the subfamily Sebastinae within the family Scorpaenidae and the order Scorpaeniformes. but other authorities place it in the Perciformes in the suborder Scorpaenoidei.

Sebastes
''Sebastes'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the subfamily Sebastinae part of the family Scorpaenidae, most of which have the common name of rockfish. A few are called ocean perch, sea perch or redfish instead. They are found in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Taxonomy ''Sebastes'' was first described as a genus in 1829 by the French zoologist Georges Cuvier, the Dutch ichthyologist Pieter Bleeker designated ''Perca norvegica'', which may have been originally described by the Norwegian zoologist Peter Ascanius in 1772, as the type species in 1876. The genus is the type genus of both the tribe Sebastini and the subfamily Sebastinae, although some authorities treat these as the subfamily Sebastinae and the family Sebastidae, separating the Sebastidae as a distinct family from the Scorpaenidae. but other authorities place it in the Perciformes in the suborder Scorpaenoidei. Some authorities subdivide this large genus into subgenera as follows: * ''Sebastes'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Helicolenus
''Helicolenus'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Scorpaenidae where they are classified within the subfamily Sebastinae, the rockfishes. The species in this genus are found in the Indian, Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Taxonomy ''Helicolenus'' was described by a genus in 1896 by the American ichthyologists George Brown Goode & Tarleton Hoffman Bean using ''Scorpaena dactyloptera'' as its type species which had originally been described by the Genevan physician, naturalist, chemist, botanist and ichthyologist François Étienne Delaroche in 1809. The genus name is a compound of ''helikos'' which means "twisted" or "curved" but meaning "strong" according to Goode and Bean, possibly in error for ''hadros''; and ''oleni'' meaning "elbow" or "arm", an allusion to the “strong pectoral fins” of ''H. dactylopterus''. Species There are 9 recognised species: * '' Helicolenus avius'' T. Abe & Eschmeyer, 1972 * '' Helicolenus barathri'' (Hector, 1875) (big ...

Sebastinae
Sebastinae is a subfamily of marine fish belonging to the family Scorpaenidae in the order Scorpaeniformes. Their common names include rockfishes, rock perches, ocean perches, sea perches, thornyheads, scorpionfishes, sea ruffes and rockcods. Despite the latter name, they are not closely related to the cods in the genus ''Gadus'', nor the rock cod, ''Lotella rhacina''. Taxonomy Sebastinae, or Sebastidae, was first formally recognised as a grouping in 1873 by the German naturalist Johann Jakob Kaup. Some authorities recognise this family as distinct from Scorpaenidae. FishBase, a finfish database generated by a consortium of academic institutions, does, but the United States Federal government's Integrated Taxonomic Information System and the 5th Edition of ''Fishes of the World'' do not, FotW classify it as a subfamily of the Scorpaenidae. Tribes and genera Sebastinae is divided into two tribes and seven genera: * Tribe Sebastini Kaup, 1873 ** ''Helicolenus'' Goode & Bean, 1 ...

Scorpaenidae
The Scorpaenidae (also known as scorpionfish) are a family of mostly marine fish that includes many of the world's most venomous species. As their name suggests, scorpionfish have a type of "sting" in the form of sharp spines coated with venomous mucus. The family is a large one, with hundreds of members. They are widespread in tropical and temperate seas but mostly found in the Indo-Pacific. They should not be confused with the cabezones, of the genus '' Scorpaenichthys'', which belong to a separate, though related, family, Cottidae. Taxonomy Scorpaenidae was described as a family in 1826 by the French naturalist Antoine Risso. The family is included in the suborder Scorpaenoidei of the order Scorpaeniformes in the 5th Edition of ''Fishes of the World'' but other authorities place it in the Perciformes either in the suborder Scorpaenoidei or the superfamily Scorpaenoidea. The subfamilies of this family are treated as valid families by some authorities. Subfamilies and trib ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hozukius
''Hozukius'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the subfamily Sebastinae within the family Scorpaenidae. They are native to the northwestern Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy ''Hozukius'' was described as a monotypic genus in 1934 by the Japanese ichthyologist Kiyomatsu Matsubara with ''Helicolenus emblemarius'' which had been described by David Starr Jordan and Edith Chapin Starks in 1904 with its type locality given as Okinose, near Misaki in Japan its only species. A second species, ''H. guyotensis'', was described in 1975. The genus name is probably derived from ''hozuki'', the Japanese name for the flowering plant ''Physalis alkekengi'', which has bright red or orange fruit and is a traditional component of Japanese Buddhist culture, its bright-red colour being similar to that of ''H. emblemarius''. Species There are currently two recognised species in this genus: * ''Hozukius emblemarius'' ( D. S. Jordan & Starks, 1904) * ''Hozukius guyotensis'' Barsukov & Fedor ...

David Starr Jordan
David Starr Jordan (January 19, 1851 – September 19, 1931) was the founding president of Stanford University, serving from 1891 to 1913. He was an ichthyologist during his research career. Prior to serving as president of Stanford University, he had served as president of Indiana University from 1884 to 1891. Starr was also a strong supporter of eugenics, and his published views expressed a fear of "race-degeneration" and asserted that cattle and human beings are "governed by the same laws of selection". He was an antimilitarist since he believed that war killed off the best members of the gene pool, and he initially opposed American involvement in World War I. Early life and career Jordan was born in Gainesville, New York, and grew up on a farm in upstate New York. His parents made the unorthodox decision to educate him at a local girls' high school. His middle name, Starr, does not appear in early census records, and was apparently self-selected; he had begun using ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Georges Cuvier
Jean Léopold Nicolas Frédéric, Baron Cuvier (; 23 August 1769 – 13 May 1832), known as Georges Cuvier, was a French natural history, naturalist and zoology, zoologist, sometimes referred to as the "founding father of paleontology". Cuvier was a major figure in natural sciences research in the early 19th century and was instrumental in establishing the fields of comparative anatomy and paleontology through his work in comparing living animals with fossils. Cuvier's work is considered the foundation of vertebrate paleontology, and he expanded Linnaean taxonomy by grouping classes into phylum, phyla and incorporating both fossils and living species into the classification. Cuvier is also known for establishing extinction as a fact—at the time, extinction was considered by many of Cuvier's contemporaries to be merely controversial speculation. In his ''Essay on the Theory of the Earth'' (1813) Cuvier proposed that now-extinct species had been wiped out by periodic catastrophi ...

Kiyomatsu Matsubara
was a Japanese marine biologist, ichthyologist, and herpetologist. Born Kiyomatsu Sakamoto in Hyogo Prefecture, Kiyomatsu Matsubara was the first professor of the Department of Fisheries of the University of Kyoto and is considered to be the founder of Japanese research on fish systematics. He changed his name to "Matsubara" in the early 1930s. He has focused his research primarily on the scorpionfish (Scorpaeniformes) and published many books and scholarly articles. He described several new species of fish, including the crocodile shark ''(Pseudocarcharias kamoharai)''. Species named after him include the rays ''Bathyraja matsubarai'' (Ishiyama, 1952) and ''Dasyatis matsubarai The pitted stingray (''Bathytoshia matsubarai'') is a species of stingray in the family Dasyatidae, endemic to the waters around Japan and the Sea of Japan.
