Microstomus Bathybius
''Microstomus'' is a genus of righteye flounders native to the northern Pacific and north-eastern Atlantic oceans. Etymology The word ''Microstomus'' is derived from the Greek language, Greek ''μικρὸς'' (''mikros''), meaning "small", and ''στόμα'' (''stoma''), meaning "mouth". Species There are currently five recognized species in this genus: * ''Microstomus achne'' (David Starr Jordan, D. S. Jordan & Edwin Chapin Starks, Starks, 1904) (Slime flounder) * ''Microstomus bathybius'' (Charles Henry Gilbert, Gilbert, 1890) (Deep-sea sole) * ''Microstomus kitt'' (Johann Julius Walbaum, Walbaum, 1792) (Lemon sole) * ''Microstomus pacificus'' (William Neale Lockington, Lockington, 1879) (Pacific Dover sole) * ''Microstomus shuntovi'' Leonid Aleksandrovich Borets, Borets, 1983 References Microstomus, Pleuronectidae Marine fish genera Taxa named by Carl Moritz Gottsche {{Pleuronectiformes-stub ...

Microstomus Kitt
The lemon sole (''Microstomus kitt'') is a flatfish of the family Pleuronectidae. It is native to shallow seas around Northern Europe, where it lives on stony bottoms down to depths of about . It grows up to in length and reaches about in weight. It is a popular food fish. Identification The lemon sole is a right-eyed flatfish with a small head and mouth and smooth, slimy skin. The upper surface is reddish brown in colour, mottled with pink and orange and flecks of yellow and green, and a prominent orange patch is typically found behind the pectoral fin, around which the lateral line also curves. The underside of the fish is white. Adults can reach lengths of up to , but most measure around . Origin of the name The fish is not a true sole, nor does it have the taste of lemon. The English name probably comes from the French name: ''limande'' or ''sole limande''. The French term ''limande'' may come from the French word ''lime'', meaning "file" (a tool used to smooth metal, woo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Charles Henry Gilbert
Charles Henry Gilbert (December 5, 1859 in Rockford, Illinois – April 20, 1928 in Palo Alto, California) was a pioneer ichthyologist and Fisheries science, fishery biologist of particular significance to natural history of the western United States. He collected and studied fishes from Central America north to Alaska and described many new species. Later he became an expert on Pacific salmon and was a noted conservation movement, conservationist of the Pacific Northwest. He is considered by many as the intellectual founder of American fisheries biology. He was one of the 22 "pioneer professors" (founding faculty) of Stanford University. Early life and education Born in Rockford, Illinois, Gilbert spent his early years in Indianapolis, Indiana, where he came under the influence of his high school teacher, David Starr Jordan (1851‒1931). When Jordan became Professor of Natural History at Butler University in Indianapolis, Gilbert followed and received his B.A. degree in 187 ...

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 ...

Microstomus Pacificus
The Pacific Dover sole (''Microstomus pacificus''), also called the slime sole or slippery sole, is a Pacific Ocean, Pacific flatfish of the Pleuronectidae, flounder family which ranges from Baja California to the Bering Sea. It takes its name from a resemblance to the solea solea, common sole of Europe, which is often called Dover sole. Pacific Dover sole can live for 45 years. The species was identified in proximity to a methane seep off the coast of Del Mar, California, Del Mar in Southern California. They Spawn (biology), spawn annually in the winter season in deep water between and . Males begin to spawn at four years of age, while females begin to spawn at age five.

Johann Julius Walbaum
Johann Julius Walbaum (30 June 1724 – 21 August 1799) was a German physician, natural history, naturalist and fauna taxonomist. Works Walbaum was from Greifswald. As an ichthyologist, he was the first to describe many previously unknown fish species from remote parts of the globe, such as the Barracuda, Great Barracuda (''Sphyraena barracuda''), the Chum salmon (''Oncorhynchus keta'') from the Kamchatka River in Siberia, and the curimatá-pacú (''Prochilodus marggravii'') from the São Francisco River in Brazil. Walbaum was one of the first to observe gloves as a preventative against infection in medical surgery. As early as 1767, he used gloves made from sheep intestines for vaginal exams. Legacy The Natural History Museum in Lübeck, opened in 1893, was based on Walbaum's extensive scientific collection. The museum's collection was, however, destroyed during the Bombing of Lübeck in World War II, Bombing of Lübeck. See also * References 18th-century German ...
