Georges Cuvier
Jean Léopold Nicolas Frédéric, Baron Cuvier (; 23 August 1769 – 13 May 1832), known as Georges Cuvier, was a French natural history, naturalist and zoology, zoologist, sometimes referred to as the "founding father of paleontology". Cuvier was a major figure in natural sciences research in the early 19th century and was instrumental in establishing the fields of comparative anatomy and paleontology through his work in comparing living animals with fossils. Cuvier's work is considered the foundation of vertebrate paleontology, and he expanded Linnaean taxonomy by grouping classes into phylum, phyla and incorporating both fossils and living species into the classification. Cuvier is also known for establishing extinction as a fact—at the time, extinction was considered by many of Cuvier's contemporaries to be merely controversial speculation. In his ''Essay on the Theory of the Earth'' (1813) Cuvier proposed that now-extinct species had been wiped out by periodic catastrophi ...

Umbrina Roncador
The yellowfin croaker (''Umbrina roncador'') is a species of croaker occurring from the Gulf of California, Mexico, to Point Conception, California.

There is no set size limit for the yellowfin croaker. Other common names include yellowfin drum, Catalina croaker, yellowtailed croaker, and golden croaker. Description The body of the yellowfin croaker is elliptical-elongate with the back somewhat arched. The head is conical and blunt. The color is iridescent blue to gray with brassy reflections on the back diffusing to silvery white below. The sides and back have many diagonal dark wavy lines.

Umbrina Reedi
''Umbrina reedi'' is a species of ray-finned fish within the family Sciaenidae. It is endemic to the southeastern Pacific Ocean, where it is found off the Juan Fernandez Archipelago and Isla San Felix in the Desventuradas Islands, inhabiting rocky shores at depths up to 30 meters. The maximum length of the species has been recorded at 77 centimeters. Conservation ''Umbrina reedi'' has been classified as a 'Least concern' species by the IUCN Red List. Despite its restricted distribution, the species has no known major threats that can severely impact it. Local fisherman are known to catch the species using gill nets Gillnetting is a fishing method that uses gillnets: vertical panels of netting that hang from a line with regularly spaced floaters that hold the line on the surface of the water. The floats are sometimes called "corks" and the line with corks is ..., but there is no data that suggest this reduces the current population of the fish. References {{Taxonbar, from=Q ...
