Callanthias
''Callanthias'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the Family (biology), family Callanthiidae. These fishes are primarily found in subtropical parts of the Pacific Ocean, with one species marginally in the Indian Ocean and two species in the eastern Atlantic Ocean. Taxonomy ''Callanthias'' was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1839 by the English zoologist Richard Thomas Lowe when he Species description, described ''Callanthias paradiseus''. Lowe’s Callanthias paradiseus is now known to be a Synonym (taxonomy), synonym of ''Lepimphis ruber'', described by Constantine Samuel Rafinesque in 1810 from Palermo on Sicily. The relationships of ''Callianthias'' have been subject of some uncertainty in the past and they were previously regarded as a very aberrant genus of the Serranidae, while other authors placed it in the Grammatidae. ''Callanthias'' is one of two genera in the family Callanthiidae, the other is ''Grammatonotus'', which the 5th edition of ''Fis ...

Callanthias Australis
''Callanthias australis'', the magnificent sea perch, splendid perch, glorious groppo or Northern splendid perch, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the Family (biology), family Callanthiidae. This species is found in the southeastern Indian Ocean and the southwestern Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy ''Callanthias australis'' was first formally Species description, described in 1899 by the Australian zoologist James Douglas Ogilby with its Type locality (biology), type locality given as off Norah Head, New South Wales, Norah Head north of Port Jackson, New South Wales. This species is closely related to ''Callanthias japonicus, C. japonicus'' and ''Callanthias platei, C. platei'' and these taxa may be subspecies of a single species, ''C. platei'', but given their widely Parapatric speciation, parapatric distributions some authors consider that they are three valid species despite the morphological similarities.

Callanthias Japonicus
''Callanthias japonicus'', the Japanese splendid perch or yellowsail sea bass, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Callanthiidae. This species is found in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy ''Callanthias japonicus'' was first formally described in 1910 by the German zoologist with its type locality given as Aburatsubo in the Sagami Sea of Japan. This species is closely related to '' C. australis'' and '' C. platei'' and these taxa may be subspecies of a single species, ''C. platei'', but given their widely parapatric distributions some authors consider that they are three valid species despite the morphological similarities. The genus ''Callanthias'' is one of two classified in the family Callanthiidae which the 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies in the order Spariformes. Description ''Callanthias japonicus'' has a dorsal fin which is supported by 10 spines and between 11 or 12 soft rays while the anal fin has 3 spines and 10 ...

Callanthias Paradisaeus
The parrot seaperch (''Callanthias ruber''), also known as the bird of paradise fish or Eastern Atlantic groppo, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Callanthiidae, the splendid perches and groppos. This fish is found in the northeastern Atlantic and Mediterranean. Taxonomy The parrot seaperch was first formally described as ''Lepimphis ruber'' in 1810 by the French polymath Constantine Samuel Rafinesque with its type locality given as Palermo on Sicily. In 1839 Richard Thomas Lowe described a new species from Madeira which he assigned to a new monospecific genus called ''Callanthius paradisaeus''. It was later shown that Lowe's species was synonymous with ''Lepimphis ruber'' and so this species is the type species of the genus ''Callanthias''. The genus ''Callanthias'' is one of two classified in the family Callanthiidae which the 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies in the order Spariformes.

Callanthias Allporti
The splendid sea perch (''Callanthias allporti''), also called the rosy perch, Allport's groppo, Allport's perch, Southern goldie or Southern splendid perch is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Callanthiidae. This fish is found off southern Australia and New Zealand. Taxonomy ''Callanthias allporti'' was first formally described in 1876 by the German-born British herpetologist and ichthyologist Albert Günther with its type locality given as Tasmania. The genus ''Callanthias'' is one of two classified in the family Callanthiidae which the 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies in the order Spariformes. Etymology The Splendid sea perch has the specific name ''allporti'' which honours the British born lawyer and naturalist Morton Allport who presented two specimens of this species to the British Museum (Natural History). Description The splendid sea perch has its dorsal fin supported by 11 spines and 10 soft rays while the anal fin is supp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Callanthias Legras
''Callanthias legars'', the goldie or African splendid perch, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Callanthiidae. This species is found in the southeastern Atlantic Ocean off southern Africa. Taxonomy ''Callanthias legras'' was first formally described in 1948 by the South African ichthyologist J. L. B. Smith with its type locality given as Algoa Bay in South Africa. The genus ''Callanthias'' is one of two classified in the family Callanthiidae which the 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies in the order Spariformes. Etymology ''Callanthias legras'' has the specific name ''legras'' and this honours Mr M. G. le Gras, a fish collector from Port Elizabeth, although he apparently did not collect any specimens of this species. Description ''Callanthias legras'' has a dorsal fin which is supported by 11 spines and 10 or 11 soft rays while the anal fin has 3 spines and 10 soft rays. The upper body and head is mainly orange, with vivid yellow lon ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Grammatonotus
''Grammatonotus'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Callanthiidae, which includes the splendid perches and groppos. These fishes are found in the Indian and Pacific Ocean. All of the species in the genus are known in English as groppos. Taxonomy ''Grammatonotus'' was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1905 by the American ichthyologist Charles Henry Gilbert when he described the new species ''Grammatonotus laysanus'', its type locality given as near Laysan Island in the Leeward Hawaiian Islands, which he also designated as the type species of the new genus. He also placed the genus in the family Serranidae while other workers classified it in the Grammatidae. In 1981 Pierre Fourmanoir erected the family Callanthiidae for this genus and ''Callanthias''. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies ''Grammatonotus'' as one of two genera in the family Callanthiidae, which it places in the order Spariformes. Etymology ''Grammatonot ...

Callanthiidae
Callanthiidae, the splendid perches and groppos is a small family of marine ray-finned fishes in the order Spariformes. These fishes are mainly found in the Indo-Pacific but two species are found in the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean. Taxonomy Callanthiidae was first proposed as a family name in 1907 by the American zoologist Henry Weed Fowler. This family was classified in the order Perciformes but the 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies the family within the order Spariformes, although states that there is some doubt about the family's exact classification. Other workers have classified the family as ''incertae sedis'' within the series Eupercaria. Etymology Callianthiidae, takes its name from ''Callianthias'' its type genus. ''Callianthias'' is a combination of ''callos'', meaning "beautiful", and '' Anthias'' the genus in the family Serranidae. Lowe named the genus this because he described its type species, ''Callanthias paradisaeus'', as "a most elegant l ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Anthias (genus)
''Anthias'' is a genus of colourful ray-finned fishes in the family Anthiadidae. Most species are found at deep reefs in the tropical and subtropical Atlantic, often well below depths reachable to a scuba diver. A single species, ''A. noeli'', is found at deep reefs in the East Pacific. They are red, pink, orange, or yellow, and the largest species reach in length. They typically occur in groups that feed on zooplankton. Species In the past, this genus included far more species, but these have now been moved to other genera, for example ''Callanthias'', '' Odontanthias'', and '' Pseudanthias''. Based on FishBase, these species are currently included in ''Anthias'': * '' Anthias anthias'' (Linnaeus, 1758 Events January–March * January 1 – Swedish biologist Carl Linnaeus (Carl von Linné) publishes in Stockholm the first volume (''Animalia'') of the 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae'', the starting point of modern zoologic ...) swallowtail sea perch * ...

Albert Günther
Albert Karl Ludwig Gotthilf Günther , also Albert Charles Lewis Gotthilf Günther (3October 18301February 1914), was a German-born British zoologist, ichthyologist, and herpetologist. Günther is ranked the second-most productive reptile taxonomist (after George Albert Boulenger) with more than 340 reptile species described. Early life and career Günther was born in Esslingen in Swabia ( Württemberg). His father was a ''Stiftungs-Commissar'' in Esslingen and his mother was Eleonora Nagel. He initially schooled at the Stuttgart Gymnasium. His family wished him to train for the ministry of the Lutheran Church for which he moved to the University of Tübingen. A brother shifted from theology to medicine, and he, too, turned to science and medicine at Tübingen in 1852. His first work was "''Ueber den Puppenzustand eines Distoma''" (On the pupal state of ''Distoma'').

Type Species
In International_Code_of_Zoological_Nomenclature, zoological nomenclature, a type species (''species typica'') is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological Type (biology), type wiktionary:en:specimen, specimen (or specimens). Article 67.1 A similar concept is used for suprageneric groups and called a type genus. In botanical nomenclature, these terms have no formal standing under the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants, code of nomenclature, but are sometimes borrowed from zoological nomenclature. In botany, the type of a genus name is a specimen (or, rarely, an illustration) which is also the type of a species name. The species name with that type can also be referred to as the type of the genus name. Names of genus and family ranks, the various subdivisions of those ranks, and some higher-rank names based on genus names, have suc ...

Serranidae
Serranidae is a large family (biology), family of fishes belonging to the order Perciformes. The family contains about 450 species in 65 genera, including the sea basses and the groupers (subfamily Epinephelinae). Although many species are small, in some cases less than , the giant grouper (''Epinephelus lanceolatus'') is one of the largest bony fishes in the world, growing to in length and in weight. Representatives of this group live in tropical and subtropical seas worldwide. Characteristics Many serranid species are brightly colored, and many of the larger species are caught commercially for food. They are usually found over reefs, in tropical to subtropical waters along the coasts. Serranids are generally robust in form, with large mouths and small spines on the gill coverings. They typically have several rows of sharp teeth, usually with a pair of particularly large, canine (tooth), canine-like teeth projecting from the lower jaw. All serranids are carnivorous.
