Pearlside
''Maurolicus'' is an oceanic ray-finned fish genus which belongs in the marine hatchetfish family Sternoptychidae. They are commonly known as pearlsides, but the brilliant pearlside is the related ''Argyripnus iridescens''. Occasionally, "bristle-mouth fishes" is used as a common name, but that usually refers to the genus ''Argyripnus'' or the family Gonostomatidae. Fossils of pearlsides are known from the Miocene. Species There are currently 15 recognized species in this genus: * '' Maurolicus amethystinopunctatus'' Cocco, 1838 * ''Maurolicus australis'' Hector, 1875 (pennant pearlside) * ''Maurolicus breviculus'' Parin & Kobyliansky, 1993 * ''Maurolicus imperatorius'' Parin & Kobyliansky, 1993 (Emperor seamount lightfish) * ''Maurolicus inventionis'' Parin & Kobyliansky, 1993 * ''Maurolicus japonicus'' Ishikawa, 1915 (North Pacific lightfish) * ''Maurolicus javanicus'' Parin & Kobyliansky, 1993 (Javan pearlside) * ''Maurolicus kornilovorum'' Parin & Kobyliansky, ...

Mueller's Pearlside
''Maurolicus muelleri'', commonly referred to as Mueller's pearlside, Mueller's bristle-mouth fish (not to be confused with the Gonostomatidae), or the silvery lightfish (not to be confused with the Phosichthyidae) is a marine hatchetfish in the genus ''Maurolicus'', found in deep tropical, subtropical and temperate waters of the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, from the surface to depths of . It can grow to a maximum total length of . Distribution and habitat ''Maurolicus muelleri'' is found across the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans from subpolar waters to the equator, as well as in the Mediterranean, however they are absent in the Indian Ocean. ''M. muelleri'' is most abundant around bathymetric features such as seamounts and continental shelf breaks, and is scarce in the open ocean. This species is predominantly found at depths of around during the day, but can be found as shallow as during the nighttime. They can be found in depths of at least at maximum. It lives in t ...

Sternoptychidae
The marine hatchetfishes or deep-sea hatchetfishes as well as the related bottlelights, pearlsides and constellationfishes are small deep-sea ray-finned fish of the stomiiform family Sternoptychidae. They are not closely related to and should not be confused with the freshwater hatchetfishes, which are teleosts in the characiform family Gasteropelecidae. The Sternoptychidae have 10 genera and about 70 species altogether.Nelson (2006): p.209 The scientific name means "''Sternoptyx''-family", from ''Sternoptyx'' (the type genus) + the standard animal family suffix "-idae". The type genus derives from Ancient Greek ''stérnon'' (στέρνον, "breast") + ''ptýx'' (πτύξ, "a fold/crease") + Latin ''forma'' ("external form"), the Greek part in reference to the thorax shape of marine hatchetfishes. Description and ecology Found most often at depths of 200–600 meters in tropical, subtropical and temperate waters of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans, marine hatchetfishes ra ...

Argyripnus
''Argyripnus'' is an oceanic ray-finned fish genus in the marine hatchetfish family Sternoptychidae. They are commonly known as bristle-mouth fishes, but that may also refer to the related bristlemouth family (Gonostomatidae). ''A. iridescens'' is called "pearlside", which usually refers to the closely related genus ''Maurolicus''. Species There are currently seven recognized species in this genus: * ''Argyripnus atlanticus'' Maul, 1952 * ''Argyripnus brocki'' Struhsaker, 1973 (Brock's Bristle-mouth Fish) * ''Argyripnus electronus'' Parin, 1992 * ''Argyripnus ephippiatus'' C.

Carl Benjamin Klunzinger
Carl Benjamin Klunzinger (18 November 1834, in Güglingen – 21 June 1914, in Stuttgart) was a German physician and zoologist. He studied medicine at the Universities of Tübingen and Würzburg, afterwards attending lectures on geology and zoology in Vienna and Prague. In 1862 he traveled to Cairo, where he spent eighteen months learning Arabic. Beginning in February 1864 he worked as a physician at Kosseir, a seaport on the Red Sea. Here he spent five years collecting a vast quantity of fish and other marine specimens. From 1869 he examined his Red Sea collection at the '' Staatliches Museum für Naturkunde Stuttgart'', traveling to Frankfurt and Berlin in order to conduct zoological comparison studies. At Stuttgart he also investigated Australian fish species procured by Ferdinand von Mueller (1825-1896), from whose collection Klunzinger described approximately fifty new species from Australia and New Zealand. In 1872 he was back in Kosseir collecting additional marine s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
