Hemiramphus
''Hemiramphus'' is a genus of schooling marine fish commonly called halfbeaks, garfish, or ballyhoos, and are members of the family Hemiramphidae. They inhabit the surface of warm temperate and tropical sea, and feed on algae, plankton, and smaller fish. ''Hemiramphus'' species are edible but are more important as food fish for larger predatory species including dolphinfish and billfish. Species There are currently 12 recognized species in this genus: * '' Hemiramphus archipelagicus'' Collette & Parin, 1978 (Jumping halfbeak) * ''Hemiramphus balao'' Lesueur, 1821 (Balao halfbeak) * '' Hemiramphus bermudensis'' Collette, 1962 (Bermuda halfbeak) * ''Hemiramphus brasiliensis'' (Linnaeus, 1758) (Ballyhoo halfbeak) * ''Hemiramphus bruuni'' ( Parin, Collette & Shcherbachev, 1980) * ''Hemiramphus convexus'' M.

Halfbeak
Hemiramphidae is a family of fishes that are commonly called halfbeaks, spipe fish or spipefish. They are a geographically widespread and numerically abundant family of epipelagic fish inhabiting warm waters around the world. The halfbeaks are named for their distinctive jaws, in which the lower jaws are significantly longer than the upper jaws. The similar viviparous halfbeaks (family Zenarchopteridae) have often been included in this family. Though not commercially important themselves, these forage fish support artisanal fisheries and local markets worldwide. They are also fed upon by other commercially important predatory fishes, such as billfishes, mackerels, and sharks. Taxonomy In 1758, Carl Linnaeus was the first to scientifically describe a halfbeak, ''Esox brasiliensis'' (now ''Hemiramphus brasiliensis''). In 1775 Peter Forsskål described two more species as '' Esox'', '' Esox far'' and '' Esox marginatus''. It was not until 1816 that Georges Cuvier created the ...

Hemiramphus Balao
The Balao halfbeak (''Hemiramphus balao''), occasionally called the Balao for short, is an ocean-going species of fish in the family Hemiramphidae. It was first described by the French naturalist Charles Alexandre Lesueur in 1821. They are used as cut bait and for trolling purposes by saltwater sportsmen.McBride, Richard S., Lisa Foushee, and Behzad Mahmoudi. 1996. Florida's Halfbeak, "Hemiramphus" spp., Bait Fisher''Marine Fisheries Review''. 58(1-2): 29-38.McBride, Richard S.. 2001. Landings, value, and fishing effort for halfbeaks, "Hemiramphus" spp., in the South Florida Lampara Net Fisher''Proceedings of the 52nd Gulf Caribbean Fisheries Institute''. 52: 103-115. Description The Balao halfbeak is similar in appearance to its relative the ballyhoo (''H. brasiliensis''). The main difference between the two is that the distance from the nares to the base of the pectoral fin is ''greater'' than the length of the ballyhoo's pectoral fin, while that difference is ''less'' than the ...

Hemiramphus Brasiliensis
The ballyhoo halfbeak or ballyhoo (''Hemiramphus brasiliensis'') is a baitfish of the halfbeak family (Hemiramphidae). It is similar to the Balao halfbeak (''H. balao'') in most features. Ballyhoo are frequently used as cut bait and for trolling purposes by saltwater sportsmen.McBride, Richard S., Lisa Foushee, and Behzad Mahmoudi. 1996. Florida's Halfbeak, "Hemiramphus" spp., Bait Fisher''Marine Fisheries Review''. 58(1-2): 29-38.McBride, Richard S.. 2001.

The fish is reported to have caused ciguatera poisoning in humans. Also known as balahu, redtailed balao, and yellowtail ballyhoo, ballyhoo can be seen above the waters skimming the surface to escape from their predators. The appearance is similar to skipping stones on the water. Description The body shows typical halfbeak shape with an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hemiramphus Archipelagicus
The jumping halfbeak (''Hemiramphus archipelagicus''), is a reef-associated marine species of fish in the family halfbeak, ''Hemiramphidae''. It is a valued commercial fish in tropical countries both dried salted and fresh forms. Description The body shows typical halfbeak shape with an elongated lower jaw and cylindrical elongated body. They have no spine (zoology), spines on fins, but do have 12-15 rays of their dorsal fins and 10-13 rays on their anal fins. The longest recorded Jumping halfbeak was 34 cm long. There are no vertical bars on sides of the body as other halfbeaks. Distribution and habitat The Jumping halfbeak is found tropical waters Indo-Pacific oceans extends from Western India, around Sri Lanka, Thailand, the Philippines, New Guinea to western Polynesia. It is found among the water plants and shallow coastal waters.

Lieven Ferdinand de Beaufort (March 23, 1879 in Den Treek, Leusden – 11 May 1968 in Amersfoort) was a Dutch biologist who, in 1903, participated in the North New Guinea Expedition. In the 1920s he was director of the Zoological Museum of Artis in Amsterdam and later zoogeography professor at the University of Amsterdam. Beaufort is commemorated in the scientific name of a species of lizard, ''Sphenomorphus beauforti'', which is a synonym of '' Sphenomorphus schultzei''. www.reptile-database.org.

Max Carl Wilhelm Weber
Max Carl Wilhelm Weber van Bosse or Max Wilhelm Carl Weber (5 December 1852, in Bonn – 7 February 1937, in Eerbeek) was a German-Dutch zoologist and biogeographer. Weber studied at the University of Bonn, then at the Humboldt University in Berlin with the zoologist Eduard Carl von Martens (1831–1904). He obtained his doctorate in 1877. Weber taught at the University of Utrecht then participated in an expedition to the Barents Sea. He became Professor of Zoology, Anatomy and Physiology at the University of Amsterdam in 1883. In the same year he received naturalised Dutch citizenship. His discoveries as leader of the Siboga Expedition led him to propose Weber's line, which encloses the region in which the mammalian fauna is exclusively Australasian, as an alternative to Wallace's Line. As is the case with plant species, faunal surveys revealed that for most vertebrate groups Wallace’s line was not the most significant biogeographic boundary. The Tanimbar Island group, and ...
