Neosebastinae
Neosebastinae, the gurnard scorpionfishes or gurnard perches, is a small subfamily of deep-sea ray-finned fishes, it is part of the family Scorpaenidae. These fishes are found in the Indian and Pacific oceans. Several of the species in this family are venomous. Taxonomy Neosebastinae, or the family Neosebastidae, were first described as a taxon by the Japanese ichthyologist Kiyomatsu Matsubara in 1943. The grouping is treated as a subfamily of the Scorpaenidae within the order Scorpaeniformes by the 5th Edition of ''Fishes of the World''. However, other authorities, such as FishBase, regard the taxon as a family within the suborder Scorpaenoidei, part of the Perciformes. The family name is derived from the genus name ''Neosebastes'' which is a compound of ''neo'' meaning "new" and ''Sebastes'', as, when he coined the name, Alphonse Guichenot thought that the new genus was closely related to or was a subgenus of the genus ''Sebastes''.

Neosebastes
''Neosebastes'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes, belonging to the subfamily Neosebastinae, the gurnard scorpionfishes, part of the family Scorpaenidae. These fishes are found in the Indian and Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy Neosebastes was first described as a genus in 1867 by the French zoologist Alphonse Guichenot. In 1876 Pieter Bleeker designated Scorpaena panda, which had been described by John Richardson in 1842 from Cockburn Sound in Western Australia, as the type species of the genus. The genus name is a compound of ''neo'' meaning "new" and ''Sebastes'', as, when he coined the name, Guichenot thought that the new genus was closely related to or was a subgenus of the genus ''Sebastes''. Species There are currently 12 recognized species in this genus: * '' Neosebastes bougainvillii'' (G. Cuvier, 1829) (Gulf gurnard perch) * '' Neosebastes capricornis'' Motomura, 2004 (Capricorn gurnard perch) * '' Neosebastes entaxis'' D. S. Jordan & Starks, 1904 (Oriental gurnard perc ...

Maxillicosta
''Maxillicosta'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes, belonging to the subfamily Neosebastinae, the gurnard scorpionfishes, part of the family Scorpaenidae. They are native to the eastern Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy ''Maxillicosta'' was first described as a genus in 1935 by the Australian ichthyologist Gilbert Percy Whitley when he described ''M. scabriceps'', with its type locality given as Kingscote on Kangaroo Island in South Australia, as a monotypic genus but he also explicitly designated ''M scabriceps'' as its type species. The name of the genus ''Maxillicosta'' was chosen by Whitley as the type species hade a scaleless maxilla crossed by five ridges, ''costa'' in contract to the scaled maxilla of ''Neosebastes''. Species There are currently six recognized species in this genus: * '' Maxillicosta lopholepis'' Eschmeyer & Poss, 1976 (Bigeye gurnard perch) * '' Maxillicosta meridianus'' Motomura, Last & M. F. Gomon, 2006 (Southern gurnard ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Scorpaenoidei
Scorpaenoidei is a suborder of ray-finned fishes, part of the order Scorpaeniformes, that includes the scorpionfishes, lionfishes and velvetfishes. This suborder is at its most diverse in the Pacific and Indian Oceans but is also found in the Atlantic Ocean. Taxonomy Scorpaenoidei was first named as a suborder in 1899 by the American ichthyologist Samuel Garman as a suborder of the Perciformes. Some authorities still treat the suborder as being part of the Perciformes but the 5th Edition of ''Fishes of the World'' recognises the Scorpaeniformes as a valid order and places this suborder within it. The subfamilies of the family Scorpaenidae are treated as families by some authors. It has been argued by some authors that the suborder is paraphyletic and that a more correct classification is that the grouping, with some differences, be placed on the superfamily Scorpaenoidea. Families and subfamilies The suborder Scorpaenoidei is classified into families and subfamilies in the 5th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Scorpaenidae
The Scorpaenidae (also known as scorpionfish) are a family of mostly marine fish that includes many of the world's most venomous species. As their name suggests, scorpionfish have a type of "sting" in the form of sharp spines coated with venomous mucus. The family is a large one, with hundreds of members. They are widespread in tropical and temperate seas but mostly found in the Indo-Pacific. They should not be confused with the cabezones, of the genus '' Scorpaenichthys'', which belong to a separate, though related, family, Cottidae. Taxonomy Scorpaenidae was described as a family in 1826 by the French naturalist Antoine Risso. The family is included in the suborder Scorpaenoidei of the order Scorpaeniformes in the 5th Edition of ''Fishes of the World'' but other authorities place it in the Perciformes either in the suborder Scorpaenoidei or the superfamily Scorpaenoidea. The subfamilies of this family are treated as valid families by some authorities. Subfamilies and trib ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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.

Dorsal Fin
A dorsal fin is a fin located on the back of most marine and freshwater vertebrates within various taxa of the animal kingdom. Many species of animals possessing dorsal fins are not particularly closely related to each other, though through convergent evolution they have independently evolved external superficial fish-like body plans adapted to their marine environments, including most numerously fish, but also mammals such as cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises), and even extinct ancient marine reptiles such as various known species of ichthyosaurs. Most species have only one dorsal fin, but some have two or three. Wildlife biologists often use the distinctive nicks and wear patterns which develop on the dorsal fins of large cetaceans to identify individuals in the field. The bony or cartilaginous bones that support the base of the dorsal fin in fish are called ''pterygiophores''. Functions The main purpose of the dorsal fin is to stabilize the animal against rollin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gilbert Percy Whitley
Gilbert Percy Whitley (9 June 1903 – 18 July 1975) was a British-born Australian ichthyologist and malacologist who was Curator of Fishes at the Australian Museum in Sydney for about 40 years. He was born at Swaythling, Southampton, England, and was educated at King Edward VI School, Southampton and the Royal Naval College, Osborne. Whitley migrated with his family to Sydney in 1921 and he joined the staff of the Australian Museum in 1922 while studying zoology at Sydney Technical College and the University of Sydney. In 1925 he was formally appointed Ichthyologist (later Curator of Fishes) at the Museum, a position he held until retirement in 1964. During his term of office he doubled the size of the ichthyological collection to 37,000 specimens through many collecting expeditions. Whitley was also a major force in the Royal Zoological Society of New South Wales, of which he was made a Fellow in 1934 and where he served as president during 1940–41, 1959–60 and 1973–74. ...

Sebastes
''Sebastes'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the subfamily Sebastinae part of the family Scorpaenidae, most of which have the common name of rockfish. A few are called ocean perch, sea perch or redfish instead. They are found in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Taxonomy ''Sebastes'' was first described as a genus in 1829 by the French zoologist Georges Cuvier, the Dutch ichthyologist Pieter Bleeker designated ''Perca norvegica'', which may have been originally described by the Norwegian zoologist Peter Ascanius in 1772, as the type species in 1876. The genus is the type genus of both the tribe Sebastini and the subfamily Sebastinae, although some authorities treat these as the subfamily Sebastinae and the family Sebastidae, separating the Sebastidae as a distinct family from the Scorpaenidae. but other authorities place it in the Perciformes in the suborder Scorpaenoidei. Some authorities subdivide this large genus into subgenera as follows: * ''Sebastes'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Alphonse Guichenot
Antoine Alphonse Guichenot (31 July 1809 in Paris – 17 February 1876 in Cluny) was a French zoology, zoologist who taught, researched, and participated in specimen collecting trips on behalf of the ''Muséum national d'histoire naturelle'' (Paris), including an extensive biological survey of Algeria. His primary fields of research included fish and reptiles. He is credited with describing the ichthyological genera ''Agonomalus'', ''Neosebastes'' (gurnard scorpionfishes) and ''Glossanodon''.Publications: University series, Volumes 36-40 by Stanford University He also described numerous new species, including the New Caledonian Crested Gecko, New Caledonian crested gecko, ''Correlophus ciliatis'' (changed to ''Rhacodactylus ciliatus'' in 1994, but reclassified as ''Correlophus ciliatis'' in 2012). ...

Perciformes
Perciformes (), also called the Percomorpha or Acanthopteri, is an order or superorder of ray-finned fish. If considered a single order, they are the most numerous order of vertebrates, containing about 41% of all bony fish. Perciformes means "perch-like". Perciformes is an Order within the Clade Percomorpha consisting of "perch-like" Percomorphans. This group comprises over 10,000 species found in almost all aquatic ecosystems. The order contains about 160 families, which is the most of any order within the vertebrates. It is also the most variably sized order of vertebrates, ranging from the ''Schindleria brevipinguis'' to the marlin in the genus ''Makaira''. They first appeared and diversified in the Late Cretaceous. Among the well-known members of this group are perch and darters (Percidae), sea bass and groupers (Serranidae). Characteristics The dorsal and anal fins are divided into anterior spiny and posterior soft-rayed portions, which may be partially or compl ...

Kiyomatsu Matsubara
was a Japanese marine biologist, ichthyologist, and herpetologist. Born Kiyomatsu Sakamoto in Hyogo Prefecture, Kiyomatsu Matsubara was the first professor of the Department of Fisheries of the University of Kyoto and is considered to be the founder of Japanese research on fish systematics. He changed his name to "Matsubara" in the early 1930s. He has focused his research primarily on the scorpionfish (Scorpaeniformes) and published many books and scholarly articles. He described several new species of fish, including the crocodile shark ''(Pseudocarcharias kamoharai)''. Species named after him include the rays ''Bathyraja matsubarai'' (Ishiyama, 1952) and ''Dasyatis matsubarai The pitted stingray (''Bathytoshia matsubarai'') is a species of stingray in the family Dasyatidae, endemic to the waters around Japan and the Sea of Japan.
