Alosa Alosa
The allis shad (''Alosa alosa'') is a widespread Northeast Atlantic species of fish in the herring family, Clupeidae. It is an anadromous fish which migrates into fresh water to spawn. It is found in the eastern Atlantic Ocean, the western Baltic Sea and the western Mediterranean Sea. In appearance it resembles an Atlantic herring but has a distinctive dark spot behind the gill cover and sometimes a row of up to six spots behind this. It sometimes hybridises with the twait shad (''A. fallax''). This fish becomes mature when three or more years old and migrates to estuaries, later swimming up rivers to spawn. Populations of this fish have declined due to overfishing, pollution and habitat destruction. Conservation of this species is covered by Appendix III of the Bern Convention and Appendix II and V of the European Community Habitats Directive. Description The allis shad is a typical herring-type fish. It has no lateral line and a somewhat rounded belly. The gill cover i ...

Arius Heudelotii
Arius (; grc-koi, Ἄρειος, ; 250 or 256 – 336) was a Cyrenaic presbyter, ascetic, and priest best known for the doctrine of Arianism. His teachings about the nature of the Godhead in Christianity, which emphasized God the Father's uniqueness and Christ's subordination under the Father, and his opposition to what would become the dominant Christology, Homoousian Christology, made him a primary topic of the First Council of Nicaea convened by Emperor Constantine the Great in 325. After Emperors Licinius and Constantine legalized and formalized the Christianity of the time in the Roman Empire, Constantine sought to unify the newly recognized Church and remove theological divisions. The Christian Church was divided over disagreements on Christology, or the nature of the relationship between the first and second persons of the Trinity. Homoousian Christians, including Athanasius of Alexandria, used Arius and Arianism as epithets to describe those who disagreed with ...

Arius (fish)
''Arius'' is a genus of catfishes (order Siluriformes) of the family Ariidae. The genus ''Arius'' is distributed in brackish and fresh waters of Eastern Africa and south to Southeast Asia. Defining the limits so that ''Arius'' can form a natural grouping has always been a problem. The genus was never properly defined, and many species previously classified in ''Arius'' are now in other genera. Recent authors have recognized this genus as non monophyetic, rejecting that the genus is a natural grouping. Two unnamed groups are distinguished by accessory tooth plates, which are either very elongated and bearing molar-like teeth, or are oval shaped or subtriangular and bearing acicular (needle-like) or conic teeth. ''A. jatius'' lacks these tooth plates, but has been included in this genus based on its adipose fin and lateral line. The recognition of ''Arenarius'' as a junior synonym of ''Arius'' is tentative and needs to be further investigated. ''Arius'' species have three pairs of ...

Brycon
''Brycon'' is a genus of fish in the family Characidae found in freshwater habitats in Central and South America, ranging from southern Mexico to northern Argentina. Despite not being closely related to true trout, they are sometimes called South American trout. Members of the genus may be referred to by a number of other different common names in various languages. They reach a maximum length of depending on the species involved. Some species perform seasonal breeding migrations.Araujo-Lima, C.A.R.M.; and M.L. Ruffino (2003). Migratory Fishes of the Brazilian Amazon. Pp. 233—302 in: Carolsfeld, J.; B. Harvey; C. Ross; and A. Baer (editors). Migratory Fishes of South America. They feed heavily on fruits and seeds, but also take other plant material, invertebrates and small fish. Their food is typically taken from the water, but they are able to jump out of the water to "pluck" low-hanging seeds and fruits directly from trees. Some seeds are crushed when eaten, but may also p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Elops Saurus
The ladyfish or tenpounder (''Elops saurus'') is a species of fish in the genus ''Elops'', the only genus in the monotypic family Elopidae. Description Like other species in its genus, the ladyfish has a long, slender, rounded body covered with silvery scales. Its mouth is terminal and the tail is deeply forked. The species can be distinguished by counting the number of gill rakers and vertebrae.McBride, Richard S., et al. 2010A new species of ladyfish, of the genus ''Elops'' (Elopiformes: Elopidae), from the western Atlantic Ocean.''Zootaxa''. 2346: 29-41. Distribution The ladyfish is distributed in the western North Atlantic Ocean from New England to Florida, and the Gulf of Mexico. Its distribution overlaps with the malacho (''Elops smithi'') in the southeast US and the southern Gulf of Mexico.McBride, Richard S. and A. Z. Horodysky. 2004. Mechanisms maintaining sympatric distributions of two ladyfish (Elopidae: ''Elops'') morphs in the Gulf of Mexico and western North At ...

Megalops Atlanticus
The Atlantic tarpon (''Megalops atlanticus'') is a ray-finned fish that inhabits coastal waters, estuaries, lagoons, and rivers. It is also known as the silver king. It is found in the Atlantic Ocean, typically in tropical and subtropical regions, though it has been reported as far north as Nova Scotia and the Atlantic coast of southern France, and as far south as Argentina. As with all elopiformes, it spawns at sea. Its diet includes small fish and crustaceans. The tarpon has a reputation for great aerobatics, attaining astonishing size, and having impressive armored scales. It is generally considered to be of poor food quality, but it is highly valued as a game fish by recreational fishermen. Description Atlantic tarpon evolved approximately 18 million years ago and are one of the oldest living fish. It has been recorded at up to in length and weighing up to . Males rarely weigh more than 100 pounds. A tarpon is capable of filling its swim bladder with air, like a primitive ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Prochilodus Lineatus
''Prochilodus lineatus'', the streaked prochilod, is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Prochilodontidae. It is native to the Paraná—Paraguay and Paraíba do Sul river basins in South America. It performs long breeding migrations and supports very important fisheries. Local names In Spanish its common name is ''sábalo''; in Brazil it receives the names ''curimbatá'', ''curimba'', ''corimbatá'' or ''grumatã''.In the United States it is also known by the technical synonym ''Tarpon prochilodus''. There are mother species of fish with the common name '' sábalo''; ''P. lineatus'' is therefore distinguished sometimes as ''sábalo jetón'' (colloquial Spanish for "big-mouth") or ''chupabarro'' ("mud-sucker"). Appearance ''P. lineatus'' reaches up to in length and in weight. A common length is about . Its body is tall and compressed, greenish-gray (lighter in the belly), with yellowish green fins. Its mouth is circular and projects towards the front; it has two seri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Salminus Hilarii
''Salminus'', popularly known as dorado or dourado, is a genus of relatively large (up to long), predatory freshwater fish from the family Characidae. They are native to large tropical and subtropical rivers in South America, and undertake migrations during the rainy season to spawn.Lima, F. C. T., and H. A. Britski (2007). Salminus franciscanus, a new species from the rio São Francisco basin, Brazil (Ostariophysi: Characiformes: Characidae)' Neotrop. Ichthyol. 5(3). They are very popular among recreational anglers and also support important commercial fisheries. Species Significant taxonomic confusion has surrounded this genus, and until a review in 1990, several additional species were recognised (most of these are junior synonyms of ''S. brasiliensis'').Géry, J. and L. Lauzanne (1990). ''Les types des espèces du genre Salminus Agassiz, 1829 (Ostariophysi, Characidae) du Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle de Paris.'' Cybium 14(2): 113-124.
