Gymnocanthus Detrisus
''Gymnocanthus'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Cottidae, the typical sculpins. These fishes are found in the northern Pacific, Arctic and northern Atlantic Oceans. Taxonomy ''Gymnocanthus'' was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1839 by the English zoologist William John Swainson with ''Cottus ventralis'', which had been described in 1829 by the French zoologist Georges Cuvier from Kamchatka, as its only species. ''Cottus ventralis'' was later shown to be a synonym of ''Cottus pistilliger'', a species which Peter Simon Pallas had described in 1814 from Alaska.The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies this genus within the subfamily Cottinae of the family Cottidae, however, other authors classify the genus within the subfamily Icelinae of the family Psychrolutidae. Etymology ''Gymnocanthus'' is a combination of ''gymnos'', meaning "bare" or "naked", and ''acanthus'', which means "thorn" or "spine", Swainson did not e ...

Charles Victor Burke
Charles is a masculine given name predominantly found in English and French speaking countries. It is from the French form ''Charles'' of the Proto-Germanic name (in runic alphabet) or ''*karilaz'' (in Latin alphabet), whose meaning was "free man". The Old English descendant of this word was '' Ċearl'' or ''Ċeorl'', as the name of King Cearl of Mercia, that disappeared after the Norman conquest of England. The name was notably borne by Charlemagne (Charles the Great), and was at the time Latinized as ''Karolus'' (as in ''Vita Karoli Magni''), later also as '' Carolus''. Some Germanic languages, for example Dutch and German, have retained the word in two separate senses. In the particular case of Dutch, ''Karel'' refers to the given name, whereas the noun ''kerel'' means "a bloke, fellow, man". Etymology The name's etymology is a Common Germanic noun ''*karilaz'' meaning "free man", which survives in English as churl (< Old English ''ċeorl''), which developed its de ...
