Lindbergichthys
''Lindbergichthys'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Nototheniidae, the notothens or cod icefishes. Froese, R. and D. Pauly. Editors. (2021). FishBase. Lindbergichthys Balushkin, 1979. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=296994 on 2021-09-24 They are native to the Southern Ocean. Taxonomy ''Lindbergichthys'' was first formally described in 1976 as ''Lindbergia'', a subgenus of '' Lepidonotothen'', by the Soviet ichthyologist Arkady Vladimirovich Balushkin with ''Notothenia mizops'' as the type species. However, Lindbergia was preoccupied by a Gastropod genus described by Riedel in 1959 and in 1979 Balushkin replaced the name with ''Lindbergichthys''. The name of honours the Soviet ichthyologist Georgiĭ Ustinovich Lindberg who died in 1976.

Lindbergichthys Nudifrons
''Lindbergichthys nudifrons'', the yellowfin rockcod, also known as the yellow notie or the gaudy notothen, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, belonging to the family Nototheniidae, the notothens or cod icefishes. It is native to the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean. Taxonomy ''Lindbergichthys nudifrons'' was first formally described in 1905 as ''Notothenia mizops nudifrons'' by the Swedish zoologist Einar Lönnberg with the type locality given as eight locations on South Georgia and 2 Antarctic locations. The types were collected by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition. The specific name ''nudifrons'' means "naked forehead" referring to the occipital and interorbital regions in juveniles and adults lack of scales compared to '' L. mizops'' which Lönnberg thought this taxon was a subspecies of. Description ''Lindbergichthys nudifrons'' has an oblong body which is compressed towards the tail. It has dorsally positioned eyes which may bulge above the dorsal profile of the ...

Lindbergichthys Mizops
The toad notie (''Lindbergichthys mizops''), or toad notothen, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, belonging to the family Nototheniidae, the notothens or cod icefishes. It is native to the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean. Taxonomy The toad notie was first formally described in 1880 as ''Notothenia mizops'' by the German-born British ichthyologist Albert Günther with the type locality given as Christmas harbor and Howes Foreland on Kerguelen Island at a depth of 120 fathoms. The type was collected on the Challenger Expedition. When the Russian ichthyologist Arkady Vladimirovich Balushkin described the subgenus ''Lindbergichthys'' he designated ''N. mizops'' as its type species. The specific name ''mizops'' means "large eyes" alluding to this fish having eyes the same size as the larger ''Lepidonotothen squamifrons''. Description The toad notie has an oblong body which is compressed towards the tail. It has dorsally positioned eyes which may bulge above the dorsal p ...

Nototheniidae
: ''In some scientific literature, the term "cod icefish" is used to identify members of this family. This should not be confused with the term "icefish," which refers to the "white-blooded" fishes of the family Channichthyidae. See Icefish (other).'' Nototheniidae, the notothens or cod icefishes, is a family of ray-finned fishes, part of the suborder Notothenioidei which is traditionally placed within the order Perciformes. They are largely found in the Southern Ocean. Taxonomy Nototheniidae was described as a family in 1861 by the German-born British ichthyologist Albert Günther with the type genus being ''Notothenia'' which had been described in 1844 by Sir John Richardson with the species ''Notothenia coriiceps'' which Richardson had also described in 1844 subsequently being designated as the type in 1862 by Theodore Nicholas Gill. The name ''Notothenia'' means “coming from the south”, a reference to the Antarctic distribution of the genus. They are traditio ...

Nototheniops
''Nototheniops'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Nototheniidae, the notothens or cod icefishes. The species in this genus are native to the Southern Ocean. Taxonomy ''Nototheniops'' Was first formally described as a subgenus of the genus '' Lepidonotothen'' in 1976 by the Soviet ichthyologist Arkady Vladimirovich Balushkin. The genus has been considered to be monotypic by some authorities with ''N. larseni'' as the only species. Some authorities place this genus in the subfamily Nototheniinae, but the 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' does not include subfamilies in the Nototheniidae. The specific name is a compound of ''Notothenia'', which this genus is closely related to and ''ops'' meaning “eyes” referring to its larger eyes. Species The recognized species in this genus are: * '' Nototheniops larseni'' ( Lönnberg, 1905) * '' Nototheniops loesha'' (Balushkin 1976) * '' Nototheniops nybelini'' ( Balushkin, 1976) * '' Nototheniops tchizh ...

Synonym (taxonomy)
The Botanical and Zoological Codes of nomenclature treat the concept of synonymy differently. * In botanical nomenclature, a synonym is a scientific name that applies to a taxon that (now) goes by a different scientific name. For example, Linnaeus was the first to give a scientific name (under the currently used system of scientific nomenclature) to the Norway spruce, which he called ''Pinus abies''. This name is no longer in use, so it is now a synonym of the current scientific name, ''Picea abies''. * In zoology, moving a species from one genus to another results in a different binomen, but the name is considered an alternative combination rather than a synonym. The concept of synonymy in zoology is reserved for two names at the same rank that refers to a taxon at that rank - for example, the name ''Papilio prorsa'' Linnaeus, 1758 is a junior synonym of ''Papilio levana'' Linnaeus, 1758, being names for different seasonal forms of the species now referred to as ''Araschnia le ...

Antarctic Peninsula
The Antarctic Peninsula, known as O'Higgins Land in Chile and Tierra de San Martín in Argentina, and originally as Graham Land in the United Kingdom and the Palmer Peninsula in the United States, is the northernmost part of mainland Antarctica. The Antarctic Peninsula is part of the larger peninsula of West Antarctica, protruding from a line between Cape Adams (Weddell Sea) and a point on the mainland south of the Eklund Islands. Beneath the ice sheet that covers it, the Antarctic Peninsula consists of a string of bedrock islands; these are separated by deep channels whose bottoms lie at depths considerably below current sea level. They are joined by a grounded ice sheet. Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of South America, is about away across the Drake Passage. The Antarctic Peninsula is in area and 80% ice-covered. The marine ecosystem around the western continental shelf of the Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) has been subjected to rapid climate change. Over the past 50 ...

Scotia Arc
The Scotia Arc is the island arc system forming the north, east and south border of the Scotia Sea. The northern border, the North Scotia Ridge, comprises (from west to east) Isla de los Estados at the tip of Tierra del Fuego, the Burdwood, Davis, and Aurora Banks; the Shag, South Georgia Island and Clerke Rocks. The eastern border comprises the volcanic South Sandwich Islands flanked by the South Sandwich Trench. The southern border, the South Scotia Ridge, (east to west) comprises Herdman, Discovery, Bruce, Pirie, and Jane Banks; the South Orkney Islands and Elephant Island. The Bransfield Strait, finally, separates the arc from the South Shetland Islands and James Ross Island flanking the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula. The Scotia Arc surrounds the small Scotia and South Sandwich Plates. The arc is formed by continental fragments that once formed a land bridge between South America and Antarctica, once part of the subduction margin that still forms the Andes. An ancestral arc ...

Total Length
Fish measurement is the measuring of individual fish and various parts of their anatomies. These data are used in many areas of ichthyology, including taxonomy and fisheries biology. Overall length * Standard length (SL) is the length of a fish measured from the tip of the snout to the posterior end of the last vertebra or to the posterior end of the midlateral portion of the hypural plate. Simply put, this measurement excludes the length of the caudal (tail) fin. * Total length (TL) is the length of a fish measured from the tip of the snout to the tip of the longer lobe of the caudal fin, usually measured with the lobes compressed along the midline. It is a straight-line measure, not measured over the curve of the body. Standard length measurements are used with Teleostei (most bony fish), while total length measurements are used with Myxini (hagfish), Petromyzontiformes (lampreys), and (usually) Elasmobranchii (sharks and rays), as well as some other fishes. Total length me ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Caudal Fin
Fins are distinctive anatomical features composed of bony spines or rays protruding from the body of a fish. They are covered with skin and joined together either in a webbed fashion, as seen in most bony fish, or similar to a flipper, as seen in sharks. Apart from the tail or caudal fin, fish fins have no direct connection with the spine and are supported only by muscles. Their principal function is to help the fish swim. Fins located in different places on the fish serve different purposes such as moving forward, turning, keeping an upright position or stopping. Most fish use fins when swimming, flying fish use pectoral fins for gliding, and frogfish use them for crawling. Fins can also be used for other purposes; male sharks and mosquitofish use a modified fin to deliver sperm, thresher sharks use their caudal fin to stun prey, reef stonefish have spines in their dorsal fins that inject venom, anglerfish use the first spine of their dorsal fin like a fishing rod to lu ...

Lateral Line
The lateral line, also called the lateral line organ (LLO), is a system of sensory organs found in fish, used to detect movement, vibration, and pressure gradients in the surrounding water. The sensory ability is achieved via modified epithelial cells, known as hair cells, which respond to displacement caused by motion and transduce these signals into electrical impulses via excitatory synapses. Lateral lines serve an important role in schooling behavior, predation, and orientation. Fish can use their lateral line system to follow the vortices produced by fleeing prey. Lateral lines are usually visible as faint lines of pores running lengthwise down each side, from the vicinity of the gill covers to the base of the tail. In some species, the receptive organs of the lateral line have been modified to function as electroreceptors, which are organs used to detect electrical impulses, and as such, these systems remain closely linked. Most amphibian larvae and some fully aquatic adult ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Einar Lönnberg
Axel Johann Einar Lönnberg (24 December 1865 – 21 November 1942) was a Swedish zoologist and conservationist. Lönnberg was born in Stockholm. He was head of the Vertebrate Department of the ''Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet'' (Swedish Natural History Museum) from 1904 to 1933. In 1891 he obtained his PhD from the University of Uppsala, spending the next twelve years as an inspector in the fisheries service. During this time-frame he made scientific trips to Florida (1892 – 1893) and the Caspian Sea (1899). In 1904 he was appointed head of the department of vertebrates at the ''Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet'' in Stockholm. In 1910 – 1911 he participated in an expedition to East Africa. From 1925 to 1942 he served as prefect of the ''Kristineberg Marina Forskningsstation'' (Kristineberg Marine Zoological Station).

Fishes Of The World
''Fishes of the World'' by the American ichthyologist Joseph S. Nelson (1937–2011) is a standard reference for fish systematics. Now in its fifth edition (2016), the work is a comprehensive overview of the diversity and classification of the 30,000-plus fish species known to science. The book begins with a general overview of ichthyology, although it is not self-contained. After a short section on Chordata and non-fish taxa, the work lists all known fish families in a systematic fashion. Each family (biology), family gets at least one paragraph, and usually a body outline drawing; large families have subfamilies and tribes described as well. Notable genera and species are mentioned, while the book generally does not deal with the species-level diversity. The complexities of the higher taxa are described succinctly, with many references for difficult points. The book does not involve color illustrations. The fourth edition was the first to incorporate the wide use of DNA analy ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
