Fowlerichthys Scriptissimus
''Fowlerichthys scriptissimus'' is a species of fish in the family Antennariidae. It is native to the Indo-West Pacific, where it occurs in rocky areas of coastal coral reefs at a depth range of 73 to 185 m (240 to 620 ft). It is an oviparous Oviparous animals are animals that lay their eggs, with little or no other embryonic development within the mother. This is the reproductive method of most fish, amphibians, most reptiles, and all pterosaurs, dinosaurs (including birds), and ... species that reaches and reportedly may exceed 28 cm (11 inches) SL. On March 28, 2012, an individual measuring 29.1 cm (11.5 inches) SL was collected off the coast of Jejudo, marking the first record of this species from Korean waters.

Fowlerichthys Avalonis
''Fowlerichthys avalonis'', known as the roughbar frogfish, is a species of fish in the family Antennariidae. It is native to the East Pacific, where it ranges from California's Santa Catalina Island to Peru. This species reaches 33 cm (13 inches) in total length, and it is found in rocky areas from the intertidal zone down to a depth of 300 m (984 ft). Young individuals of this species primarily feed on crustaceans, although they start to consume more and more fish as they grow, with adults primarily feeding on other fish, including fishes their own size, which the frogfish catch by striking quickly with their rapidly expanding mouths, a behavior typical of frogfish and some other anglerfish. The species is demersal and oviparous Oviparous animals are animals that lay their eggs, with little or no other embryonic development within the mother.

It occurs at a depth range of 10 to 80 m (33 to 262 ft), and it has been reported from both marine and brackish environments. It is a demersal oviparous Oviparous animals are animals that lay their eggs, with little or no other embryonic development within the mother.

Frogfish
Frogfishes are any member of the anglerfish family Antennariidae, of the order Lophiiformes. Antennariids are known as anglerfish in Australia, where the term "frogfish" refers to members of the unrelated family Batrachoididae. Frogfishes are found in almost all tropical and subtropical oceans and seas around the world, the primary exception being the Mediterranean Sea. Frogfishes are small, short and stocky, and sometimes covered in spinules and other appendages to aid in camouflage. The camouflage aids in protection from predators and enables them to lure prey. Many species can change colour; some are covered with other organisms such as algae or hydrozoa. In keeping with this camouflage, frogfishes typically move slowly, lying in wait for prey, and then striking extremely rapidly, in as little as 6 milliseconds. Few traces of frogfishes remain in the fossil record, though ''Antennarius monodi'' is known from the Miocene of Algeria and ''Eophryne barbuttii'' is known fr ...

Marcus Elieser Bloch
Marcus Elieser Bloch (1723–1799) was a German physician and naturalist who is best known for his contribution to ichthyology through his multi-volume catalog of plates illustrating the fishes of the world. Brought up in a Hebrew-speaking Jewish family, he learned German and Latin and studied anatomy before settling in Berlin as a physician. He amassed a large natural history collection, particularly of fish specimens. He is generally considered one of the most important ichthyologists of the 18th century, and wrote many papers on natural history, comparative anatomy, and physiology. Life Bloch was born at Ansbach in 1723 where his father was a Torah writer and his mother owned a small shop. Educated at home in Hebrew literature he became a private tutor in Hamburg for a Jewish surgeon. Here he learned German, Latin and anatomy. He then studied medicine in Berlin and received a doctorate in 1762 from Frankfort on the Oder with a treatise on skin disorders. He then became a gen ...

Johann Gottlob Schneider
Johann Gottlob Theaenus Schneider (18 January 1750 – 12 January 1822) was a German classicist and naturalist. Biography Schneider was born at Collm in Saxony.

Passow's and all succeeding Greek lexicons (including, therefore, the contemporary standard ''A Greek-English Lexicon''). A special improvement was the introduction of words and expressions connected with natural history and science. In 1801 he corrected and expanded re-published Marcus Elieser Bloch's ''Systema Ichthyologiae iconibus cx illustratum'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
