Francis Day
Francis Talbot Day (2 March 1829 – 10 July 1889) was an army surgeon and naturalist in the Madras Presidency who later became the Inspector-General of Fisheries in British Raj, India and British rule in Burma, Burma. A pioneer ichthyologist, he Species description, described more than three hundred fishes in the two-volume work on ''The Fishes of India''. He also wrote the fish volumes of the Fauna of British India series. He was also responsible for the introduction of trout into the Nilgiri hills, for which he received a medal from the French Acclimatisation society, Societe d'Acclimatation. Many of his fish specimens are distributed across museums with only a small fraction deposited in the British Museum (Natural History Museum, London), an anomaly caused by a prolonged conflict with Albert Günther, the keeper of zoology there. Biography Day was born in Maresfield, East Sussex, the third son of William and Ann Elliott née Le Blanc. The family estate included two thousa ...

Erich Johann Georg Zugmayer (16 May 1879, Vienna – 13 February 1938) was an Austrian zoologist and ichthyologist who worked in the Austrian foreign ministry. He collected extensively in Asia where he went on several expeditions including Western Tibet (1906) and Baluchistan (1911). He described several new species of fishes and several bird taxa were described from his collections. Life and work Zugmayer was born in Vienna to Heinrich Zugmayer (1841-1917, director of the metal-making firm of Zugmayer) and his wife Emilie, née Hoffmann (d. 1926). A cousin was the zoologist Hans Hass (1919-2013). He studied liberal arts before studying commerce in London and working in trade and then gave up to study natural sciences at Heidelberg University from 1900.

Ray-finned Fish
Actinopterygii (; ), members of which are known as ray-finned fish or actinopterygians, is a class of bony fish that comprise over 50% of living vertebrate species. They are so called because of their lightly built fins made of webbings of skin supported by radially extended thin bony spines called '' lepidotrichia'', as opposed to the bulkier, fleshy lobed fins of the sister clade Sarcopterygii (lobe-finned fish). Resembling folding fans, the actinopterygian fins can easily change shape and wetted area, providing superior thrust-to-weight ratios per movement compared to sarcopterygian and chondrichthyian fins. The fin rays attach directly to the proximal or basal skeletal elements, the radials, which represent the articulation between these fins and the internal skeleton (e.g., pelvic and pectoral girdles). The vast majority of actinopterygians are teleosts. By species count, they dominate the subphylum Vertebrata, and constitute nearly 99% of the over 30,000 extant ...
