Ulvaria (fish)
The radiated shanny (''Ulvaria subbifurcata'') is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Stichaeidae, the pricklebacks and shannies. It is the only species in the monotypic genus ''Ulvaria''. This fish is found in the northwestern Atlantic Ocean. Taxonomy The radiated shanny was first formally described in as ''Pholis subfurcatus'' in 1839 by the American naturalist and physician David Humphreys Storer. Storer gave its type locality as the “intertidal zone” at Nahant, Massachusetts. In 1896 David Starr Jordan and Barton Warren Evermann placed ''P. subfurcatus'' in the monospecific genus ''Ulvaria''. This taxon is placed in the subfamily Stichaeinae within the Stichaeidae. Description The radiated shanny has an elongate, rather robust, eel shaped body. The terminal mouth has jaws of the similar length with small teeth. The head is rounded and it has large eyes. The long dorsal fin is confluent with the caudal fin, a membrane connects the two but the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Stichaeidae
Stichaeidae, the pricklebacks or shannies, are a family of marine ray-finned fishes in the suborder Zoarcoidei of the order Scorpaeniformes. Most species are found in the North Pacific Ocean with a few in the North Atlantic Ocean. Taxonomy Stichaeidae was first proposed as a family in 1864 by the American zoologist Theodore Gill, although he called it the Stichaeoidae. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies this family within the suborder Zoarcoidei, within the order Scorpaeniformes. Other authorities classify this family in the infraorder Zoarcales wihin the suborder Cottoidei of the Perciformes because removing the Scorpaeniformes from the Perciformes renders that taxon non monophyletic. ''Fishes of the World'' mentions six subfamilies but does not assign genera to the subfamilies while other authorities split the Cebidichthyidae, Opisthocentridae, Lumpenidae and Neozoarcidae from the Sitchaeidae as valid families. The genera which are classified within the fami ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
