Oplegnathidae
''Oplegnathus'' is currently the sole recognized genus in the knifejaw family (Oplegnathidae) of marine perciform fishes. The largest, the Cape knifejaw, can reach a maximum length around 90 cm (35 in). Knifejaws have teeth fused into a parrot-like beak in adulthood. They feed on barnacles and mollusks, and are fished commercially. They are native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Species The currently recognized species in this genus are: * '' Oplegnathus conwayi'' J. Richardson, 1840, 1840 (Cape knifejaw) * '' Oplegnathus fasciatus'' (Temminck & Schlegel, 1844) ( striped beakfish or barred knifejaw) * '' Oplegnathus insignis'' ( Kner, 1867) (Pacific beakfish) * '' Oplegnathus peaolopesi'' J. L. B. Smith, 1947 (Mozambique knifejaw) * '' Oplegnathus punctatus'' (Temminck & Schlegel, 1844) (spotted knifejaw) * '' Oplegnathus robinsoni'' Regan, 1916 (Natal knifejaw) * '' Oplegnathus woodwardi'' Waite, 1900 (knifejaw) Timeline ImageSize = width:1000px height:auto ...

Striped Beakfish
The striped beakfish (''Oplegnathus fasciatus'') is a marine ray-finned fish, a knifejaw from the family Oplegnathidae. It is native to the northwestern Pacific Ocean, though a smattering of records exist from other localities in the eastern Pacific such as Hawaii and Chile. Recently introduced – probably via ballast water – in the central Mediterranean, it is found very rarely from Malta to the northern Adriatic. It is an inhabitant of rocky reefs and occurs at depths from . Juvenile members of this species can be found with patches of drifting seaweed. This species can reach a total length of , with the greatest recorded weight for this species of . The color pattern consists of light and dark vertical bars from which it derives its name. The species feeds mainly on hard-shelled invertebrates such as crustaceans and molluscs. It is a commercially important species and is also farmed. It is also sought after as a game fish. Five striped beakfish, of which one remains ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Perciform
Perciformes (), also called the Percomorpha or Acanthopteri, is an order (biology), order or superorder of Actinopterygii, 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 (biology), 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).

Holocene
The Holocene ( ) is the current geological epoch. It began approximately 11,650 cal years Before Present (), after the Last Glacial Period, which concluded with the Holocene glacial retreat. The Holocene and the preceding Pleistocene together form the Quaternary period. The Holocene has been identified with the current warm period, known as MIS 1. It is considered by some to be an interglacial period within the Pleistocene Epoch, called the Flandrian interglacial.Oxford University Press – Why Geography Matters: More Than Ever (book) – "Holocene Humanity" section https://books.google.com/books?id=7P0_sWIcBNsC The Holocene corresponds with the rapid proliferation, growth and impacts of the human species worldwide, including all of its written history, technological revolutions, development of major civilizations, and overall significant transition towards urban living in the present. The human impact on modern-era Earth and its ecosystems may be considered of global si ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
