Etelis
''Etelis'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Lutjanidae, the snappers. They are mostly native to the Indian and Pacific oceans with one species ''(E. oculatus)'' native to the western Atlantic Ocean. Taxonomy ''Etelis'' was named by the French zoologist Georges Cuvier in 1830 with ''Etelis carbunculus'' as its only species and, therefore, its type species. The name of the genus was taken from Aristotle by Cuvier, who said that Aristotle had used it for a fish he did not give a description for. The currently recognized species in this genus are: * '' Etelis boweni'' Andrews, Fernandez-Silva, Randall & H.-C. Ho, 2021 (Bowen’s snapper) * '' Etelis carbunculus'' G. Cuvier, 1828 (deep-water red snapper) * '' Etelis coruscans'' Valenciennes, 1862 (deepwater longtail red snapper) * '' Etelis oculatus'' (Valenciennes, 1828) (queen snapper) * '' Etelis radiosus'' W.

Etelis Carbunculus
''Etelis carbunculus'', the deep-water red snapper, ruby snapper, longtail snapper, or ehu, is a species of ray-finned fish, a snapper belonging to the Family (biology), family Lutjanidae. It is found in the Indo-Pacific region. Description ''Etelis carbunculus'' is an elongated fish with a small head and a large eye, the space between the eyes is flat. The mouth extends back as far as the middle of the eye and the jaws are each equipped with a single row of conical teeth with one or two pairs of enlarged canines at the front. The vomerine teeth are arranged in a slender V-shaped patch. The forked caudal fin has relatively short lobes in comparison to congeners. It has a continuous dorsal fin which has a deep notch at the junction of its spiny part and the ultimate soft ray of both the dorsal and anal fins extends beyond the membrane, being longer than the penultimate ray. The dorsal fin contains 10 spines and 11 soft rays while the anal fin has 3 spines and 8 soft rays, both fin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Etelis Boweni
''Etelis boweni'', known as Bowen's snapper or giant ruby snapper, is a species of ray-finned fish, a snapper belonging to the family Lutjanidae. It was discovered in deeper waters in the Indo-West Pacific region by a team of marine biologists from the United States, Spain, and Taiwan. It was named on March 9, 2021, after Brian Bowen, a researcher at the University of Hawaii. Morphology ''Etelis boweni'' has a fusiform, orange red body that gradually becomes pink midway down its body and silvery white on its underbelly. ''E. boweni'' is similar to ''Etelis carbunculus'', but has several key differences. ''E. boweni'' has a much larger adult body size at nearly twice the size as ''E. carbunculus''. ''E. boweni'' also has a protruding lower jaw, black tip on the top of the tail fin and larger snout length than that of ''E. carbunculus''. Distribution ''Etelis boweni'' has been collected from the Red Sea and Western Australia. Genetic samples of ''E. boweni'' have also been coll ...

Queen Snapper
The queen snapper (''Etelis oculatus''), also known as the night snapper or brim snapper, is a species of ray-finned fish, a snapper belonging to the family Lutjanidae. It is native to the western Atlantic Ocean, and is the only species in the genus ''Etelis'' found outside the Indo-Pacific region. Description The queen snapper has an elongated, fusiform, slender body. It has a flat intraorbital area, large eyes and a short snout with the lower jaw slightly protruding. The jaws have bands of small conical teeth, the outer row consisting of larger teeth which are more widely spaced. There are 1-2 pairs of canine teeth in the front of the jaws. The vomerine teeth are arranged in a V-shaped patch, which is sometimes very triangular. The dorsal fin has 10 spines and 11 soft rays, while the anal fin contains 3 spines and 8 soft rays, the rearmost ray on each fin being the longest. The dorsal and anal fins are both scaleless. The caudal fin is deeply forked and its lobes lengthen as t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Etelis Coruscans
''Etelis coruscans'', commonly known as the longtail snapper or deep-water red snapper, is a species of snapper found in the Pacific and Indian oceans. It is a valuable commercial species, and lives quite deep – from . It is a long-lived species that grows and matures slowly. In Hawai'i the fish is widely known as onaga.

Lutjanidae
Lutjanidae or snappers are a family of perciform fishes, mainly marine but with some members inhabiting estuaries and, in some cases, fresh water (e.g., '' Lutjanus goldiei''). The family includes about 113 species. Most species are used for food and many are of high economic importance. Many species around the world are known in local languages as red snapper, including species from different genera (including Lutjanus and Pristipomoides) Snappers inhabit tropical, subtropical, and warm-temperate regions of all oceans. Some snappers grow up to about in length, and one species, the cubera snapper, grows up to in length. Most are active carnivores, feeding on crustaceans or other fishes, though a few are plankton-feeders. They can be kept in aquaria, but commonly grow too fast to be popular aquarium fish. Most species live at depths reaching near coral reefs, but some species are found up to deep. As with other fishes, some snapper species host parasites. A detailed st ...

Georges Cuvier
Jean Léopold Nicolas Frédéric, baron Cuvier (23 August 1769 – 13 May 1832), known as Georges Cuvier (; ), was a French natural history, naturalist and zoology, zoologist, sometimes referred to as the "founding father of paleontology". Cuvier was a major figure in natural sciences research in the early 19th century and was instrumental in establishing the fields of comparative anatomy and paleontology through his work in comparing living animals with fossils. Cuvier's work is considered the foundation of vertebrate paleontology, and he expanded Linnaean taxonomy by grouping classes into phylum, phyla and incorporating both fossils and living species into the classification. Cuvier is also known for establishing extinction as a fact—at the time, extinction was considered by many of Cuvier's contemporaries to be merely controversial speculation. In his ''Essay on the Theory of the Earth'' (1813) Cuvier proposed that now-extinct species had been wiped out by periodic catastr ...

Gerald R
Gerald is a masculine given name derived from the Germanic languages prefix ''ger-'' ("spear") and suffix ''-wald'' ("rule"). Gerald is a Norman French variant of the Germanic name. An Old English equivalent name was Garweald, the likely original name of Gerald of Mayo, a British Roman Catholic monk who established a monastery in Mayo, Ireland in 670. Nearly two centuries later, Gerald of Aurillac, a French count, took a vow of celibacy and later became known as the Roman Catholic patron saint of bachelors. The name was in regular use during the Middle Ages but declined after 1300 in England. It remained a common name in Ireland, where it was a common name among the powerful FitzGerald dynasty. The name was revived in the Anglosphere in the 19th century by writers of historical novels along with other names that had been popular in the medieval era. British novelist Ann Hatton published a novel called ''Gerald Fitzgerald'' in 1831. Author Dorothea Grubb published her nove ...

Caudal Fin
Fins are moving appendages protruding from the body of fish that interact with water to generate thrust and help the fish swim. Apart from the tail or caudal fin, fish fins have no direct connection with the back bone and are supported only by muscles. Fish fins are distinctive anatomical features with varying structures among different clades: in ray-finned fish (Actinopterygii), fins are mainly composed of bony spines or rays covered by a thin stretch of scaleless skin; in lobe-finned fish (Sarcopterygii) such as coelacanths and lungfish, fins are short rays based around a muscular central bud supported by jointed bones; in cartilaginous fish (Chondrichthyes) and jawless fish (Agnatha), fins are fleshy " flippers" supported by a cartilaginous skeleton. Fins at different locations of the fish body serve different purposes, and are divided into two groups: the midsagittal ''unpaired fins'' and the more laterally located ''paired fins''. Unpaired fins are predominan ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
