Limanda
''Limanda'' is a genus of righteye flounders native to the northern Atlantic Ocean, Atlantic and Pacific Ocean, Pacific oceans. A 2018 cladistic morphological and genetic analysis found that the genus is not monophyletic, and has proposed ''L. ferruginea'', ''L. proboscidea'' and ''L. punctatissima'' be placed in the genus ''Myzopsetta''. Species There are currently six recognized species in this genus: * ''Limanda aspera'' (Peter Simon Pallas, Pallas, 1814) (Yellowfin sole) * ''Limanda ferruginea'' (David Humphreys Storer, D. H. Storer (:fr:David Humphreys Storer, fr), 1839) (Yellowtail flounder) * ''Limanda limanda'' (Carl Linnaeus, Linnaeus, 10th edition of Systema Naturae, 1758) (Common dab) * ''Limanda proboscidea'' Charles Henry Gilbert, C. H. Gilbert, 1896 (Longhead dab) * ''Limanda punctatissima'' (Franz Steindachner, Steindachner, 1879) (Speckled flounder) * ''Limanda sakhalinensis'' Carl Leavitt Hubbs, C. L.

Limanda Ferruginea
The yellowtail flounder (''Limanda ferruginea''), also known as the rusty dab, is a species of flatfish in the family Pleuronectidae (righteye flounders). Reaching in length, it has reddish brown upperparts, pale underparts and yellow fins. Both its eyes are on the right (upper) side of its body. Found in the western Atlantic Ocean, North Atlantic, it has been fished commercially by North American fisheries for food. A victim of overfishing, the yellowtail flounder is categorized as "Vulnerable" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Taxonomy The yellowtail flounder was originally described by German naturalist Carl Moritz Gottsche as ''Limanda vulgaris'' in the ''Archiv für Naturgeschichte'' in 1835. It was later documented as ''Platessa ferruginea'' by David Humphreys Storer in 1839, who noted the similarity between it and ''Limanda limanda'' (then considered to be in the genus ''Pleuronectes''). He gave the species the common name of "rusty dab". Later, bot ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Limanda Limanda
The common dab (''Limanda limanda'') is an edible flatfish of the family Pleuronectidae. It is a demersal fish native to shallow seas around Northern Europe, in particular the North Sea, where it lives on sandy bottoms down to depths of about . It can reach in length and can weigh up to , though most specimens grow no longer than . Taxonomy and nomenclature The etymology of the name ''dab'' is unclear, but the modern English use seems to originate from the Middle English ''dabbe''. It is first recorded in the late 16th century. The common dab was first named ''Pleuronectes limanda'' by Carl Linnaeus in the 1758 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae''. It has also been moved to other genera, including ''Liopsetta'', and is now known as ''Limanda limanda''. Identification The common dab has a similar appearance to both the plaice and the flounder, and similarly has both its eyes normally on the right-hand side of its body. The upper surface is usually pale brown in colour with scat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pleuronectidae
Pleuronectidae, also known as righteye flounders, are a family of flounders. They are called "righteye flounders" because most species lie on the sea bottom on their left sides, with both eyes on their right sides. The Paralichthyidae are the opposite, with their eyes on the left side. A small number of species in Pleuronectidae can also have their eyes on the left side, notably the members of the genus '' Platichthys''. Their dorsal and anal fins are long and continuous, with the dorsal fin extending forward onto the head. Females lay eggs that float in mid-water until the larvae develop, and they sink to the bottom. They are found on the bottoms of oceans around the world, with some species, such as the Atlantic halibut, ''Hippoglossus hippoglossus'', being found down to . The smaller species eat sea-floor invertebrates such as polychaetes and crustaceans, but the larger righteye flounders, such as ''H. hippoglossus'', which grows up to in length, feed on other fishes and ...

Carl Leavitt Hubbs
Carl Leavitt Hubbs (October 19, 1894 – June 30, 1979) was an American ichthyologist. Biography Early life Carl Leavitt Hubbs was born in Williams, Arizona, to Charles Leavitt and Elizabeth () Hubbs. His father had a wide variety of jobs (farmer, iron mine owner, newspaper owner). The family moved several times before settling in San Diego where he got his first taste of natural history. After his parents divorced in 1907, he lived with his mother, who opened a private school in Redondo Beach, California. His maternal grandmother Jane Goble Goss, one of the first female doctors, showed Hubbs how to harvest shellfish and other sea creatures. One of his teachers, impressed by Hubbs's abilities in science, recommended that he study chemistry at the University of Berkeley. The family moved once more to Los Angeles. In Los Angeles, George Bliss Culver, one of the many volunteers of David Starr Jordan, encouraged Hubbs to abandon his study of birds and instead to study fish, part ...

He published over 200 papers on fishes and over 50 papers on reptiles and amphibians. Steindachner described hundreds of new species of fish and dozens of new amphibians and reptiles. At least seven species of reptile have been named after him.

In 1860 he was appointed to the position of director of the fish collection at the Natural History Museum, Vienna, a position which had remained vacant since the death of Johann Jakob Heckel (1790–1857).
