Bufoceratias
''Bufoceratias'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Diceratiidae, the double anglers. Fishes in this genus are found in the Indian, Pacific and Western Atlantic Oceans. Taxonomy ''Bufoceratias'' was first proposed as a genus in 1931 by the British-born Australian ichthyologist Gilbert Percy Whitley with ''Phrynichthys wedli'' as its type species. Whitley was replacing ''Phrynichthys'' as the genus name because Whitley thought that this name was preoccupied by ''Phrynichthys'' Agassiz, 1864, which was a replacement name for '' Bufichthys'' Swainson, 1839, and Whitley's name is now accepted. ''Phrynichthys wedli'' had been first formally described in 1926 by the Austrian ichthyologist Viktor Pietschmann with its type locality given as Madeira. This genus is one of two genera in the family Diceratiidae which the 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies within the suborder Ceratioidei within the order Lophiiformes, the anglerfishes.

Bufoceratias Wedli
''Bufoceratias wedli'' is a species of deep sea marine Actinopterygii, ray-finned fish belonging to the Family (biology), family Double angler, Diceratiidae, the double anglers. This anglerfish is found in deep water over the continental shelf in the tropical and subtropical areas of the Eastern and Western Atlantic Oceans. It is the type species of the genus ''Bufoceratias'' and like other members of that genus is known only from adult females, the unknown males are thought to be free living rather than sexual parasites of the females like those of some other deep sea anglerfishes. Taxonomy ''Bufeceratias wedli'' was first formally Species description, described as ''Phrynichthys wedli'' by the Austrian ichthyologist Viktor Pietschmann with its Type locality (biology), type locality given as Madeira. When Pietschmann described ''P. wedli'' he named a new monospecific genus, ''Phrynichthys'', but this name was preoccupied by a genus named in 1846 by Louis Agassiz which is now re ...

Ceratioidei
Ceratioidei, the deep-sea anglerfishes or pelagic anglerfishes, is a suborder of marine ray-finned fishes, one of five suborders in the order Lophiiformes, the anglerfishes. These fishes are found in tropical and temperate seas throughout the world, living above the bottom of the deep sea, in the pelagic zone. The deep-sea anglerfishes exhibit extreme sexual dimorphism; the males are many times smaller than the females. To reproduce, a male seeks out a female, using his sharp teeth-like denticles to clamp onto the female. The details of this sexual parasitism varies between the species; in a number of species the male permanently becomes part of the female, their tissues fusing with each other. This is the only known natural example of a process called parabiosis. The esca, the defining feature of all anglerfish groups, are bioluminescent in the deep-sea anglerfishes, attracting prey in the vast darkness of the bathypelagic zone which they inhabit. Etymology Ceratioidei takes ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bioluminescence
Bioluminescence is the emission of light during a chemiluminescence reaction by living organisms. Bioluminescence occurs in multifarious organisms ranging from marine vertebrates and invertebrates, as well as in some Fungus, fungi, microorganisms including some bioluminescent bacteria, Dinoflagellate, dinoflagellates and terrestrial arthropods such as Firefly, fireflies. In some animals, the light is bacteriogenic, produced by symbiosis, symbiotic bacteria such as those from the genus ''Vibrio''; in others, it is autogenic, produced by the animals themselves. In most cases, the principal chemical reaction in bioluminescence involves the reaction of a substrate called luciferin and an enzyme, called luciferase. Because these are generic names, luciferins and luciferases are often distinguished by the species or group, e.g. firefly luciferin or Vargulin, cypridina luciferin. In all characterized cases, the enzyme Catalysis, catalyzes the Redox, oxidation of the luciferin resultin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Theodore Wells Pietsch III (born March 6, 1945) is an American systematist and evolutionary biologist especially known for his studies of anglerfishes. Pietsch has described 72 species and 14 genera of fishes and published numerous scientific papers focusing on the relationships, evolutionary history, and functional morphology of teleosts, particularly deep-sea taxa.

Actinopterygii
Actinopterygii (; ), members of which are known as ray-finned fish or actinopterygians, is a class (biology), class of Osteichthyes, bony fish that comprise over 50% of living vertebrate species. They are so called because of their lightly built fish fin, fins made of webbings of skin supported by radially extended thin bony spine (zoology), spines called ''lepidotrichia'', as opposed to the bulkier, fleshy lobed fins of the sister taxon, 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 (anatomy), 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 domi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
