Catfish
Catfish (or catfishes; order Siluriformes or Nematognathi) are a diverse group of ray-finned fish. Named for their prominent barbels, which resemble a cat's whiskers, catfish range in size and behavior from the three largest species alive, the Mekong giant catfish from Southeast Asia, the wels catfish of Eurasia, and the piraíba of South America, to detritivores (species that eat dead material on the bottom), and even to a tiny parasitic species commonly called the candiru, ''Vandellia cirrhosa''. Neither the armour-plated types nor the naked types have scales. Despite their name, not all catfish have prominent barbels or "whiskers". Members of the Siluriformes order are defined by features of the skull and swimbladder. Catfish are of considerable commercial importance; many of the larger species are farmed or fished for food. Many of the smaller species, particularly the genus ''Corydoras'', are important in the aquarium hobby. Many catfish are nocturnal, [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Amblycipitidae
The Amblycipitidae are a family of catfishes, commonly known as torrent catfishes. It includes three genus, genera, ''Amblyceps'', ''Liobagrus'', and ''Xiurenbagrus'', and about 36 species. Taxonomy The family Amblycipitidae is a monophyly, monophyletic group containing four monophyletic genera, ''Amblyceps'', ''Liobagrus'', ''Nahangbagrus'' and ''Xiurenbagrus''. It is the most basal (phylogenetics), basal Sisoroidea, sisoroid family and is cladistics, sister to a clade formed by the remaining families. The genera ''Amblyceps'' and ''Liobagrus'' are a sister group pair that is, in turn, sister to ''Xiurenbagrus''. Distribution and habitat These kinds of fishes can be found in swift freshwater streams in southern and eastern Asia, including Pakistan across northern India to Malaysia, China, Korea, and Japan. ''Amblyceps'' are mainly distributed in India and the Malay Peninsula. ''Liobagrus'' fishes are distributed in the Yangtze River basin, Taiwan, Japan, and the Korea Peninsula. ...

Xiurenbagrus
''Xiurenbagrus'' is a genus of torrent catfishes (order Siluriformes) of the family Amblycipitidae. It includes three species. Taxonomy ''X. xiurenensis'' was first described in 1981 as ''Liobagrus xiurenensis''. However, it was realized that ''Liobagrus'' would not be monophyletic with the inclusion of this species, so ''Xiurenbagrus'' was erected. The genera ''Amblyceps'' and ''Liobagrus'' are sister group pair that is, in turn, sister to ''Xiurenbagrus''.

Endemic Fauna Of China
Endemism is the state of a species being found in a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere. For example, the Cape sugarbird is found exclusively in southwestern South Africa and is therefore said to be ''endemic'' to that particular part of the world. An endemic species can be also be referred to as an ''endemism'' or in scientific literature as an ''endemite''. For example '' Cytisus aeolicus'' is an endemite of the Italian flora. '' Adzharia renschi'' was once believed to be an endemite of the Caucasus, but it was later discovered to be a non-indigenous species from South America belonging to a different genus. The extreme opposite of an endemic species is one with a cosmopolitan distribution, having a global or widespread range. A rare alternative term for a species that is endemic is "precinctive", which applies to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fish Of China
Fish are aquatic, craniate, gill-bearing animals that lack limbs with digits. Included in this definition are the living hagfish, lampreys, and cartilaginous and bony fish as well as various extinct related groups. Approximately 95% of living fish species are ray-finned fish, belonging to the class Actinopterygii, with around 99% of those being teleosts. The earliest organisms that can be classified as fish were soft-bodied chordates that first appeared during the Cambrian period. Although they lacked a true spine, they possessed notochords which allowed them to be more agile than their invertebrate counterparts. Fish would continue to evolve through the Paleozoic era, diversifying into a wide variety of forms. Many fish of the Paleozoic developed external armor that protected them from predators. The first fish with jaws appeared in the Silurian period, after which many (such as sharks) became formidable marine predators rather than just the prey of arthropods. Most f ...
