Pompano
Pompanos ( ) are marine fishes in the genus ''Trachinotus'' in the family Carangidae (better known as "jacks"). Pompano may also refer to various other, similarly shaped members of the Carangidae, or the order Perciformes. Their appearance is of deep-bodied fishes, exhibiting strong lateral compression, with a rounded face and pronounced curve to the anterior portion of their dorsal profile. Their ventral profile is noticeably less curved by comparison, while their anterior profile is straight-edged, tapering sharply to a narrow caudal peduncle. Their dorsal and anal fins are typically sickle-shaped, with very long anterior rays and a succession of much shorter rays behind, with a similarly long & curved, deeply forked tail which has a narrow base. They are typically overall silvery in color, sometimes with dark or yellowish fins, and one or a few black markings on the side of their body. They are toothless and are relatively large fish, up to about long, although most species ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Florida Pompano
The Florida pompano (''Trachinotus carolinus'') is a species of marine fish in the '' Trachinotus'' (pompano) genus of the family Carangidae. It has a compressed body and short snout; coloration varies from blue-greenish silver on the dorsal areas and silver to yellow on the body and fins. It can be found along the western coast of the Atlantic Ocean, depending on the season, and is popular for both sport and commercial fishing. Most Florida pompano caught weigh less than and are less than long, though the largest individuals weigh and reach lengths up to . Because it is fast-growing and desirable for food, the pompano is one of the many fish that is currently being farmed through aquaculture. The Florida city of Pompano Beach is named after the Florida pompano. Description The different kinds of pompano include African, Cayenne, and Florida. The Florida pompano (''T. carolinus'') is part of the jack family. It is very similar to the permit ('' Trachinotus falcatus''). It h ...

Game Fish
Game fish, sport fish or quarry refer to popular fish pursued by recreational anglers, and can be freshwater or saltwater fish. Game fish can be eaten after being caught, or released after capture. Some game fish are also targeted commercially, particularly salmon and tuna. Specimens of game fish whose measurements (body length and weight) are a lot above the species' average are sometimes known as trophy fish. Examples The species of fish prized by anglers varies with geography and tradition. Some fish are sought for their value as food, while others are pursued for their fighting abilities, or for the difficulty of successfully enticing the fish to bite the hook. * Big-game fish are blue water saltwater bony fish such as tuna, tarpon, grouper and billfish (sailfish, marlin and swordfish). Occasionally other predatory fishes such as sharks, barracuda and dolphinfish are also pursued. * In North America, many anglers fish for common snook, redfish, salmon/trout, bass, no ...

Trachinotus Blochii
The snubnose pompano (''Trachinotus blochii''), also called the snubnose dart, golden pompano, and golden pomfret, is an Asia Pacific species of pompano in the family Carangidae. It is a pelagic fish associated with rocky reefs, coral reefs as well as inshore habitats. It is found in warm waters ranging from the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea, and eastern Africa to the Central Pacific Ocean; north to Japan and as far south as the coast of southern New South Wales. It is an angling and minor commercial fish species. The maximum length is 65 cm and maximum weight is 3.4 kilograms. The specific epithet ''blochii'' is named for Marcus Elieser Bloch. Other common names include buck-nosed trevally, oyster cracker, oyster-eater, and snub-nosed swallowtail. There are reports of ciguatera Ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP), also known simply as ciguatera, is a foodborne illness caused by eating reef fish whose flesh is contaminated with certain toxins.

Trachinotus Baillonii
The smallspotted dart (''Trachinotus baillonii'') is an Indo-Pacific species of pompano in the family Carangidae. Description ''Trachinotus baillonii'' can reach a maximum length of in males and a maximum weight of . The body color varies from silvery blue to grey above, with some small black spots on the flanks. The number of these spots increases with age. This fish is silvery white below.

It can be found in lagoons and seaward reefs, usually in schools near the surface of waters.

James Douglas Ogilby
James Douglas Ogilby (16 February 1853 – 11 August 1925) was an Australian ichthyologist and herpetologist. Ogilby was born in Belfast, Ireland, and was the son of zoologist William Ogilby and his wife Adelaide, née Douglas. He received his education at Winchester College, England, and Trinity College, Dublin. Ogilby worked for the British Museum before joining the Australian Museum in Sydney. After being let go for drunkenness in 1890, he picked up contract work before joining the Queensland Museum in Brisbane circa 1903. He was the author of numerous scientific papers on reptiles, and he described a new species of turtle and several new species of lizards. Ogilby died on 11 August 1925 and was buried at Toowong Cemetery Toowong Cemetery is a heritage-listed cemetery on the corner of Frederick Street and Mt Coot-tha Road, Toowong, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

Trachinotus Anak
''Trachinotus anak'', the giant oystercracker, or oyster pompano, is a marine fish endemic to the coasts of tropical Australia, one of 20 species of pompano (''Trachinotus'' spp.). Description The fish has a silvery greenish or bluish-grey color above and is paler below. It often has a bronze or a green-gold tinge. The second dorsal and caudal fins are a dusky orange to nearly black. The fins have dark leading edges. The anal fin is a dandelion yellow and the pelvic fins are paler. The pectoral fins are dark. Taxonomy In the early 20th century, Australian ichthyologist James Douglas Ogilby was identifying fishes to give advice to fisheries, under supervision of James Stevens, the Queensland Inspector of Fisheries. When the question emerged of what was damaging oyster populations in the Wide Bay district in January 1908, Ogilby determined that the organism to cause this damage was a large fish, yet undescribed to science. He described it as ''Trachinotus anak'' in a report in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
