Bernard Germain De Lacépède
Bernard-Germain-Étienne de La Ville-sur-Illon, comte de Lacépède or La Cépède (; 26 December 17566 October 1825) was a French natural history, naturalist and an active freemason. He is known for his contribution to the Comte de Buffon's great work, the ''Histoire Naturelle''. Biography Lacépède was born at Agen in Guienne. His education was carefully conducted by his father, and the early perusal of Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon, Buffon's Natural History (''Histoire naturelle, Histoire naturelle, générale et particulière'') awakened his interest in that branch of study, which absorbed his chief attention. His leisure he devoted to music, in which, besides becoming a good performer on the piano and organ, he acquired considerable mastery of composition, two of his operas (which were never published) meeting with the high approval of Christoph Willibald Gluck, Gluck; in 1781–1785 he also brought out in two volumes his ''Poétique de la musique''.

Scomberomorini
Scomberomorini is a tribe of ray-finned, saltwater, bony fishes that is commonly known as Spanish mackerels, seerfishes, or seer fish. This tribe is a subset of the mackerel family (Scombridae), which it shares with four sister tribes, the tunas, mackerels, bonitos, and butterfly kingfish. Scomberomorini comprises 21 species across three genera. They are pelagic fish, fast swimmers and predatory in nature, that fight vigorously when caught. They are mainly caught using hooks and lines. Taxonomy The following cladogram shows the most likely evolutionary relationships between the Spanish mackerels and the tunas, mackerels, bonitos, and butterfly kingfish. This tribe comprises 21 species in three genera: * '' Acanthocybium'' (Gill, 1862) ** '' A. solandri'' ( Cuvier, 1832), wahoo * '' Grammatorcynus'' (Gill, 1862) ** '' G. bicarinatus'' ( Quoy & Gaimard, 1825), shark mackerel ** '' G. bilineatus'' ( Rüppell, 1836), double-lined mackerel * '' Scomberomorus'' ( Lac ...

Streaked Seerfish
The streaked Spanish mackerel (''Scomberomorus lineolatus''), also known as the queen mackerel, streaked seer, or streaked seerfish'','' is a species of Spanish mackerel found in the Indian Ocean. It is also known by other names, such as ''hazard'' (French), ''sawara'', and ''carite'' (Spanish,) although these names may also be used to describe other Spanish mackerel. It is an important quarry species for fisheries where it occurs. Taxonomy The fish was first described by Georges Cuvier, a french naturalist, in 1829. There is a debate surrounding the origin of the species, with some citing it as a valid species, while others have theorized it is a natural hybrid between the narrow-barred Spanish mackerel (''S. commerson'') and the Indo-Pacific king mackerel (''S. guttatus.'') However, as it possesses a unique short-lined pattern, the hybridization theory is unlikely.

Korean Seerfish
The Korean mackerel (''Scomberomorus koreanus'') also known as the Korean seerfish, is a ray-finned bony fish in the family Scombridae, better known as the mackerel family. Within that family, this fish is a member of the tribe Scomberomorini, the Spanish mackerels. It has an Indo-Pacific distribution which extends from the east coast of India and Sri Lanka along the Asian continental shelf to Sumatra, then north to Korea and Wakasa Bay in the Sea of Japan. This species is of minor commercial importance in some parts of its range, where it is caught using gill nets and is marketed either fresh or dried-salted. The Korean mackerel is an important quarry species for the drift net fishery in Palk Bay and the Gulf of Mannar in India.

Johann Gottlob Schneider
Johann Gottlob Theaenus Schneider (18 January 1750 – 12 January 1822) was a German classicist and naturalist. Biography Schneider was born at Collm in Saxony.

Works Of his numerous works the most important was his ''Kritisches griechisch-deutsches Handwörterbuch'' (1797–1798), the first independent work of the kind since Stephanus's ''Thesaurus'', and the basis of F. Passow's and all succeeding Greek lexicons (including, therefore, the contemporary standard ''A Greek-English Lexicon''). A special improvement was the introduction of words and expressions connected with natural history and science. In 1801, he corrected and expanded re-published Marcus Elieser Bloch's ''Systema Ichthyologiae iconibus cx illustratu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
