Pterygotrigla
''Pterygotrigla'' is a genus of genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Triglidae, the gurnards and sea robins, one of two genera belonging to the subfamily Pterygotriglinae. These gurnards are found in the Indian and Pacific oceans. Taxonomy ''Pterygotrigla'' was originally described as the genus ''Hoplonotus'' by the French zoologist Alphonse Guichenot but this name was invalid as it was preoccupied by ''Hoplonotus'' Schmidt 1846, a coleopteran taxon. In 1899 the Australian ichthyologist Edgar Ravenswood Waite put forward the new name ''Pterygotrigla'' to replace Guichenot’s name. The type species of the genus is '' Trigla polyommata'' which was described in 1839 by John Richardson with its type locality given as Port Arthur, Tasmania. This genus, along with the monotypic '' Bovitrigla'', makes up the subfamily Pterygotriglinae within the family Triglidae. The genus name, ''Pterygotrigla'', is a compound of ''pterygion'', a diminutive of ''pteryx'', ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Trigla Polyommata
''Pterygotrigla polyommata'', the latchet, butterfly gurnard, flying gurnard, lachet gurnard, pastry, sharpbeak gurnard, spiny gurnard or spinybeak gurnard, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Triglidae, the gurnards and sea robins. It is found in the southeastern Indian and southwestern Pacific Oceans. Taxonomy ''Pterygotrigla polyommata'' was first formally described as ''Trigla polyommata'' in 1839 by the Scottish naval surgeon, Arctic explorer and naturalist John Richardson with the type locality given as Port Arthur, Tasmania. In 1867 Alphonse Guichenot created the genus ''Hoplonotus'' with its only species beingRichardson's ''T. polyommata'', however, this genus name was preoccupied by a genus of beetles and in 1899 Edgar Ravenswood Waite proposed the new name ''Pterygotrigla'' to replace it. This species is, therefore the type species of the genus and of the subgenus of the same name. The specific name ''polyommata'' is a combination of ''po ...

Pterygotriglinae
Pterygotriglinae is a subfamily of demersal, marine ray-finned fishes, part of the family Triglidae, the gurnards and searobins. These gurnards are found in the Indo-Pacific region. Taxonomy Pterygotriglinae was first proposed as a taxonomic grouping by the American zoologist Henry Weed Fowler in 1938 in his description of the fishes collected by United States Bureau of Fisheries steamer '' USFS Albatross II''. It is one of three subfamilies within the family Triglidae, part of the suborder Platycephaloidei within the order Scorpaeniformes. This subfamily is regarded as more derived than the Prionotinae but less so than Triglinae. Etymology The name of the subfamily is based on that of its type genus, ''Pterygotrigla'', which is a compound of ''pterygion'', a diminutive of ''pteryx'', which means "fin", thought to be a reference to pectoral fins of the type species ''P. polyommata'' and their resemblance to wings, and ''Trigla'' the type genus of the Triglidae which was also t ...

Bovitrigla
''Bovitrigla'' is a monotypic genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Triglidae, the gurnards and sea robins, one of two genera belonging to the subfamily Pterygotriglinae. Its only species, ''Bovitrigla acanthomoplate'', is found in the western Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy ''Bovitrigla'' was first described as a genus in 1938 by the American zoologist Henry Weed Fowler when he described its only species, ''Bovitrigla acanthomoplate'', the holotype of which was collected off Point Tagolo Light, near northern Mindanao in the Philippines at 8°47'N, 123°31'15"E by United States Bureau of Fisheries steamer '' USFS Albatross II''. The genus is classified within the subfamily Pterygotriglinae, alongside the rather more speciose ''Pterygotrigla''. The genus name is a combination of ''bos'', meaning "bull" and ''Trigla'', the type genus of the Triglidae, Fowler did not explain this but it may allude to the bull-like appearance of its sizeable head. The specific name ''a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Triglidae
Triglidae, commonly known as gurnards or sea robins, are a family of bottom-feeding scorpaeniform ray-finned fish. The gurnards are distributed in temperate and tropical seas worldwide. Taxonomy Triglidae was first described as a family in 1815 by the French polymath and naturalist Constantine Samuel Rafinesque. In 1883 Jordan and Gilbert formally designated ''Trigla lyra'', which had been described by Linnaeus in 1758, as the type species of the genus ''Trigla'' and so of the family Triglidae. The 5th edition of '' Fishes of the World'' classifies this family within the suborder Platycephaloidei in the order Scorpaeniformes. Other authorities differ and do not consider the Scorpaeniformes to be a valid order because the Perciformes is not monophyletic without the taxa within the Scorpaeniformes being included within it. These authorities consider the Triglidae to belong to the suborder Triglioidei, along with the family Peristediidae, within the Perciformes. The family Per ...

Joseph S
Joseph is a common male given name, derived from the Hebrew Yosef (יוֹסֵף). "Joseph" is used, along with "Josef", mostly in English, French and partially German languages.

In Arabic, including in the Quran, the name is spelled '' Yūsuf''. In Persian, the name is "Yousef". The name has enjoyed significant popularity in its many forms in numerous countries, and ''Joseph'' was one of the two names, along with ''Robert'', to have remained in the top 10 boys' names list in the US from 1925 to 1972. It is especially common in contemporary Israel, as either "Yossi" or "Yossef", and in Italy, where the name "Giuseppe" was the most common male name in the 20th century. In the first century CE, Joseph was the second most popular male name for Palestine Jews. In the Book of Genesis Joseph is Jacob's eleventh son and Rachel's first son, and k ...

Pectoral 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 ...
