Rhinopias
''Rhinopias'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Scorpaenidae, the scorpionfishes. The species in this genus are found in the Indian and Pacific oceans. Taxonomy ''Rhinopias''was described as a genus in 1905 by the American ichthyologist Theodore Gill, Gill described it as a monotypic genus and designated ''Scorpaena frondosa'' as its type species. ''Scorpaena frondosa'' had originally been described in 1893 by the German-born British zoologist Albert Günther with its type locality given as Mauritius. The genus name is a combination of ''rhino'' meaning "snout" and ''op'' meaning "eye", an allusion to he upturned snout and raised orbits of ''R. frondosa'' with the suffix ''ias'' which is used in some Greek names for fishes, for example ''Xiphias''. Species There are six recognized species in this genus There is some doubt as to whether ''R. eschmeyeri'' is a synonym of ''R. frondosa'', with the two possibly being different sexes of a sexually dimor ...

Rhinopias Aphanes
''Rhinopias aphanes'', the lacy scorpionfish, weedy scorpionfish or Merlet's scorpionfish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Scorpaenidae, the scorpionfishes. This species is found in the Western Pacific. It occasionally makes its way into the aquarium trade. Taxonomy ''Rhinopias aphanes'' was first formally described in 1973 by the American ichthyologist William N. Eschmeyer with the type locality given as New Caledonia. The specific name ''aphanes'' means "that which is unseen or inconspicuous", an allusion to the camouflage created by its notable coloration and flaps of skin.

Rhinopias Eschmeyeri
''Rhinopias eschmeyeri'' or Eschmeyer's scorpionfish or paddle-flap scorpionfish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the Family (biology), family Scorpaenidae, the scorpionfishes. This species is found in the Indo-West Pacific. It grows to an average size of 16.6 cm in length. It occasionally makes its way into the aquarium trade.

Taxonomy ''Rhinopias eschmeyeri'' was first formally Species description, described in 1977 by the French speleologist and zoologist with the Type locality (biology), type locality given as Mahébourg on Mauritius.

Charles Henry Gilbert
Charles Henry Gilbert (December 5, 1859 in Rockford, Illinois – April 20, 1928 in Palo Alto, California) was a pioneer ichthyologist and Fisheries science, fishery biologist of particular significance to natural history of the western United States. He collected and studied fishes from Central America north to Alaska and described many new species. Later he became an expert on Pacific salmon and was a noted conservation movement, conservationist of the Pacific Northwest. He is considered by many as the intellectual founder of American fisheries biology. He was one of the 22 "pioneer professors" (founding faculty) of Stanford University. Early life and education Born in Rockford, Illinois, Gilbert spent his early years in Indianapolis, Indiana, where he came under the influence of his high school teacher, David Starr Jordan (1851‒1931). When Jordan became Professor of Natural History at Butler University in Indianapolis, Gilbert followed and received his B.A. degree in 187 ...

Xiphias
Swordfish (''Xiphias gladius''), also known as broadbills in some countries, are large, highly migratory predatory fish characterized by a long, flat, pointed bill. They are a popular sport fish of the billfish category, though elusive. Swordfish are elongated, round-bodied, and lose all teeth and scales by adulthood. These fish are found widely in tropical and temperate parts of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, and can typically be found from near the surface to a depth of , and exceptionally up to depths of 2,234 m. They commonly reach in length, and the maximum reported is in length and in weight.Gardieff, S. Swordfish.' Florida Museum of Natural History.

Coral Sea
The Coral Sea () is a marginal sea of the South Pacific off the northeast coast of Australia, and classified as an interim Australian bioregion. The Coral Sea extends down the Australian northeast coast. Most of it is protected by the French Natural Park of the Coral Sea (french: Parc Naturel de la Mer de Corail) and the Australian Coral Sea Marine Park. The sea was the location for the Battle of the Coral Sea, a major confrontation during World War II between the navies of the Empire of Japan, and the United States and Australia. The sea contains numerous islands and reefs, as well as the world's largest reef system, the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1981. All previous oil exploration projects were terminated at the GBR in 1975, and fishing is restricted in many areas. The reefs and islands of the Coral Sea are particularly rich in birds and aquatic life and are a popular tourist destination, both domestically and internat ...
