Cyprinella Labrosa
''Cyprinella'' is a genus of fish in the family Cyprinidae, the carps and minnows. They are known as the satinfin shiners. They are native to North America, and some are among the most common freshwater fish species on the eastern side of the continent.Broughton, R. E. and J. R. Gold.

Conversely, several ''Cyprinella'' species with small distributions are Threatened species, threatened and the Maravillas Creek subspecies of the red shiner (''Cyprinella lutrensis blairi'') is extinct. The largest species reach around in total length. Breeding males often develop bright coloration.

Cyprinella Bocagrande
The largemouth shiner (''Cyprinella bocagrande'') is a critically endangered species of cyprinid fish. It is found only in the Guzmán Basin in northwestern Chihuahua, Mexico, where it is called ''sardinita bocagrande''. In 2012, it only survived in a single spring, which also was the last remaining habitat for the Carbonera pupfish (''Cyprinodon fontinalis'') and the dwarf crayfish '' Cambarellus chihuahuae''. As this single spring was declining, it was decided to move some individuals of all three species to a nearby refuge in 2014 as a safeguard.

Seth Eugene Meek
Seth Eugene Meek (April 1, 1859, Hicksville, Ohio – July 6, 1914, Chicago) was an American ichthyologist at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. He was the first compiler of a book on Mexican freshwater fishes. Together with his assistant, Samuel F. Hildebrand, he produced the first book on the freshwater fishes of Panama. He often collaborated with Charles H. Gilbert, and in 1884 on a collecting trip through the Ozarks, they discovered a new species, ''Etheostoma nianguae'', which only lives in the Osage River basin. Also with them on that excursion was David Starr Jordan, considered the father of modern ichthyology. After the Ozarks trip, Meek accepted the post of professor of biology and geology at Arkansas Industrial University (now the University of Arkansas).

Robert Henry Gibbs Jr. (1929–1988) was an American ichthyologist. He was a long-standing curator at the National Museum of Natural History and devoted much of his career to the study of pelagic and deep-sea fishes. He was also an avid conservationist and a member of the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists for over 30 years. The Society honored him posthumously with the Robert H. Gibbs Jr. Memorial Award for Excellence in Systematic Ichthyology, whose recipients have included shark authority Leonard J.V. Compagno, and anglerfish The anglerfish are fish of the teleost order Lophiiformes ().
