Hybopsis Amnis
The pallid shiner (''Hybopsis amnis'') is a small freshwater minnow in the family Cyprinidae. Its synonym is ''Notropis amnis''.Phillips, Gary L., Schmid, William D., and Underhill, James C. 1982. Fishes of the Minnesota Region. University of Minnesota Press. Minneapolis, MN. pg. 133 They are native to North America and can be found in the Mississippi watershed. The pallid shiner is considered a rare fish in its northern distribution but not in its southern distribution. The pallid shiner was first discovered in the early 1900s in the St. Croix river north of Taylor Falls, and its population has been declining since. Little is known about their feeding and reproductive habits. Physical description The pallid shiner is a small silver fish with very little pigmentation on its fusiform body and like most fishes, it is laterally flattened.Pallid ShinerUniversity of Wisconsin Sea Grant Institute 2013. Retrieved 2015-04-23 The only marking on its body is a thin lateral stripe that ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hybopsis Rubrifrons
The rosyface chub (''Hybopsis rubrifrons'') is a species of freshwater fish in the carp family ( Cyprinidae), found in the United States. Description The fish is somewhat elongate and has a long snout. Its eyes are upward-looking and a barbel can be found in the corner of the mouth. It can reach a total length of 8.4 cm (3.25 in). The fish is similar to bigeye chub. It has smaller eyes, however. During the breeding season in spring, the front third of the body becomes more red, usually most pronounced on the snout. They have 35 to 39 scales along the lateral line. Distribution and habitat The range of the rosyface chub includes the Saluda, Savannah, Edisto, and Altamaha river drainages. It is mostly found above the fall line in these drainages. It may also have been introduced to the Chattahoochee River system. Habitats of this species include pools or edges of riffles in small streams, and near banks in eddy currents in larger streams and small rivers, usually over san ...

Hybopsis Lineapunctata
The lined chub (''Hybopsis lineapunctata'') is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish from the carp and minnow family, Cyprinidae. It is endemic to the United States of America where it occurs in the Coosa and Tallapoosa River systems in the states of Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee. It can be found in small to medium-sized streams which have pools and riffles over sand, gravel, or rubble beds; especially in gently flowing to quiet, clear water close to riffles and vegetation. It feeds on chironomid The Chironomidae (informally known as chironomids, nonbiting midges, or lake flies) comprise a family of nematoceran flies with a global distribution. They are closely related to the Ceratopogonidae, Simuliidae, and Thaumaleidae. Many specie ... larvae and pupae, and larger aquatic insects It is threatened by canalisation of its native rivers and by siltation caused by logging.

Hybopsis Winchelli
The clear chub (''Hybopsis winchelli'') is a species of freshwater fish in the carp family ( Cyprinidae). Description ''Hybopsis winchelli'' is a species of freshwater fish with terminal maxillary barbels at exist in various degrees of development. Some populations have well developed barbels while others have rudimentary barbels. Other populations have barbels that are nonexistent. Just as the barbel development is variable, so is the pigmentation of the fish. Most populations exhibit a dark band that runs laterally along the sides, opercle, snout and causal base of the fish. In most populations, the pigmentation intensifies at the causal base that forms an ill-defined, continuous causal spot. There may also be a predorsal stripe and a small dark spot on the dorsal fin. The scales themselves have a pigment concentration along the edges of the scales so that they give the fish a cross-hatched appearance. The sides below the lateral line are white, and the only melanophores are ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bigeye Chub

Cyprinid
Cyprinidae is a family of freshwater fish commonly called the carp or minnow family. It includes the carps, the true minnows, and relatives like the barbs and barbels. Cyprinidae is the largest and most diverse fish family and the largest vertebrate animal family in general with about 3,000 species, of which only 1,270 remain extant, divided into about 370 genera. Cyprinids range from about 12 mm in size to the giant barb (''Catlocarpio siamensis''). By genus and species count, the family makes up more than two-thirds of the ostariophysian order Cypriniformes. The family name is derived from the Greek word ( 'carp'). Biology and ecology Cyprinids are stomachless fish with toothless jaws. Even so, food can be effectively chewed by the gill rakers of the specialized last gill bow. These pharyngeal teeth allow the fish to make chewing motions against a chewing plate formed by a bony process of the skull. The pharyngeal teeth are unique to each species and are used by scient ...

Constantine Samuel Rafinesque
Constantine Samuel Rafinesque-Schmaltz (; October 22, 1783September 18, 1840) was a French 19th-century polymath born near Constantinople in the Ottoman Empire and self-educated in France. He traveled as a young man in the United States, ultimately settling in Ohio in 1815, where he made notable contributions to botany, zoology, and the study of prehistoric earthworks in North America. He also contributed to the study of ancient Mesoamerican linguistics, in addition to work he had already completed in Europe. Rafinesque was an eccentric and erratic genius. He was an autodidact, who excelled in various fields of knowledge, as a zoologist, botanist, writer and polyglot. He wrote prolifically on such diverse topics as anthropology, biology, geology, and linguistics, but was honored in none of these fields during his lifetime. Indeed, he was an outcast in the American scientific community whose submissions were rejected automatically by leading journals. Among his theories were th ...

Carl Leavitt Hubbs
Carl Leavitt Hubbs (October 19, 1894 – June 30, 1979) was an American ichthyologist. Biography Youth He was born in Williams, Arizona. He was the son of Charles Leavitt and Elizabeth (née Goss) Hubbs. His father had a wide variety of jobs (farmer, iron mine owner, newspaper owner). The family moved several times before settling in San Diego where he got his first taste of natural history. After his parents divorced in 1907, he lived with his mother, who opened a private school in Redondo Beach, California. His maternal grandmother Jane Goble Goss, one of the first female doctors, showed Hubbs how to harvest shellfish and other sea creatures. One of his teachers, impressed by Hubbs's abilities in science, recommended that he study chemistry at the University of Berkeley. The family moved once more to Los Angeles. In Los Angeles, George Bliss Culver, one of the many volunteers of David Starr Jordan, encouraged Hubbs to abandon his study of birds and instead to study fish, par ...
