Galaxias Argenteus
''Galaxias'' is a genus of small freshwater fish in the family Galaxiidae, and are frequently referred to as the galaxiids. These highly adaptable fish are typically found at temperate latitudes across the Southern Hemisphere. Galaxiids are scaleless and somewhat tubular in body form, ranging from very slender to quite bulky. They are somewhat torpedo-shaped, with the dorsal and anal fins positioned close to the tail. They are generally small, with typical adults ranging between in total length, with some stocky species attaining around . The largest, ''Galaxias argenteus'', has been recorded at , although is a more typical adult length. Species The 46 recognized species in this genus are: * ''Galaxias aequipinnis'' Raadik, 2014 (East Gippsland Galaxias) * '' Galaxias anomalus'' Stokell, 1959 (Roundhead Galaxias) * ''Galaxias arcanus'' Raadik, 2014 (Riffle Galaxias) * ''Galaxias argenteus'' Gmelin, 1789 (Giant Kōkopu) * ''Galaxias auratus'' Johnston, 1883 (Golden Galax ...

Galaxias Olidus
''Galaxias olidus'', the mountain galaxias, is a species of freshwater galaxiid fish widely found in southeastern Australia. Description As for other members of the species complex, although ''Galaxias olidus'' exhibits a greater range of characteristics than other members of the group. The fish has a long tubular body, commonly to . The body's upper and lower surfaces are gently and evenly curved with the upper surface partly flattened before the pelvic fins. Head medium size and noticeably wider than deep and slightly wedge-shaped from the side. Mouth of medium length with the tip of the upper lip usually level with the middle of the eye then extending down and back towards the belly to a point about even with the middle of the eye. Mountain galaxias are very variable in base colour and markings throughout their range, but within individual populations, less so. Body mostly tan, light brown to brown or olive, occasionally orange-brown. Base colour extends over head and s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Galaxias Eldoni
Eldon's galaxias (''Galaxias eldoni'') is an endangered galaxiid fish endemic to New Zealand. One of several fishes in the genus ''Galaxias'' found in Central Otago, it has a very small home range and is at risk of being driven to extinction by trout introduced for recreational fishing. Taxonomy Eldon's galaxias was described in 1997 by New Zealand freshwater ichthyologist Bob McDowall from specimens collected in 1995 and 1996. It is part of the '' Galaxias vulgaris'' species complex, and differs from '' Galaxias pullus'', another new species McDowall had found in the same area genetically and by its colour pattern: irregular stripes that continue across its back. The name recognises the ichthyologist G. A. (Tony) Eldon, who helped collect specimens and had retired not long before McDowall described this species. Description ''Galaxias eldoni'' is an elongated, deep-bodied ''Galaxias'', usually 80 mm in length (although very large individuals can reach 155 mm). Its s ...

Galaxias Divergens
''Galaxias divergens'', common name dwarf galaxias, is a galaxiid of the genus ''Galaxias'', found only in the lower North Island and upper South Island of New Zealand. It grows to a length of up to 9 cm. The single dorsal and anal fins are about two thirds of the way along the body. Like all galaxiids it lacks scales and has a thick, leathery skin covered with mucus. The dwarf galaxias has six pelvic fin rays, which distinguishes it from most other galaxiids which have only five. Spawning occurs from March to May and also from October to November. They live on a variety of aquatic insects, especially mayflies and midges. They are non-diadromous and therefore do not have a marine phase and are not part of the whitebait Whitebait is a collective term for the immature fry of fish, typically between long. Such young fish often travel together in schools along coasts, and move into estuaries and sometimes up rivers where they can be easily caught using fine- . ...

Bob McDowall
Robert (Bob) Montgomery McDowall (15 September 1939 – 20 February 2011) was one of New Zealand's most prominent freshwater ichthyologists. Biography McDowall was born on 15 September 1939, the son of dairy scientist Frederick Henry McDowall and entomologist Grace Edith Wall. He attended Palmerston North Boys' High School and went on to study for a BSc at Victoria University in 1958. Despite only receiving a C pass in Zoology, he was accepted into the graduate program where he completed an MSc thesis on the biology of the redfin bully. In 1963 he joined the Fisheries Division of the Marine Department of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research. At that time, the main laboratories of the Marine Department were housed on the ground floor of the old Wellington City morgue - which McDowall described as an "unhappy and "exceedingly primitive' place with inadequate power and heating. McDowall's dissatisfaction at the Fisheries Division reached Barry Fell, formerly a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Galaxias Cobitinis
The lowland longjaw galaxias (''Galaxias cobitinis'') is a galaxiid of the genus ''Galaxias'', found only in the South Island of New Zealand, in the Kauru River, a tributary of the Kakanui River in north Otago, and in parts of the upper Waitaki catchment.

Description ''Galaxias brevissimus'' is a fish with a typical Galaxiid body form, with a long and tubular body, but distinguishable from other members of the family by a short caudal fin (tail) and caudal peduncle, hence the common name. Size is commonly to , maximum recorded is . The colouration is generally a mottled brown on the upper surface and sides above lateral line, with this pattern continuing over the head and snout. The colouration is lighter below the lateral line becoming light brown or cream on the belly.

Albert Günther
Albert Karl Ludwig Gotthilf Günther FRS, also Albert Charles Lewis Gotthilf Günther (3 October 1830 – 1 February 1914), was a German-born British zoologist, ichthyologist, and herpetologist. Günther is ranked the second-most productive reptile taxonomist (after George Albert Boulenger) with more than 340 reptile species described. Early life and career Günther was born in Esslingen in Swabia (Württemberg). His father was a ''Stiftungs-Commissar'' in Esslingen and his mother was Eleonora Nagel. He initially schooled at the Stuttgart Gymnasium. His family wished him to train for the ministry of the Lutheran Church for which he moved to the University of Tübingen. A brother shifted from theology to medicine, and he, too, turned to science and medicine at Tübingen in 1852. His first work was "''Ueber den Puppenzustand eines Distoma''". He graduated in medicine with an M.D. from Tübingen in 1858, the same year in which he published a handbook of zoology for students of ...
