Jordaniidae
Jordaniidae is a small Family (biology), family of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the Order (biology), order Perciformes. These fishes are found in the eastern North Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy Jordaniidae was first proposed as a subfamily, Jordaniinae, of the family Cottidae in 1898 by the American ichthyologists David Starr Jordan and Barton Warren Evermann. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies this family within the superfamily Cottoidea, in the suborder Cottoidei of the Scorpaeniformes. Other authorities classify this family within the infraorder Cottales within the order Perciformes, as they suggest that Perciformes is paraphyletic if the Scorpaneiformes are excluded from it. The Cabezon (fish), cabezon (''Scorpaenichthys marmoratus'') is classified within the Jordaniidae by some authorities but the 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies this species in the monotypic family Scorpaenichthyidae. This family is regarded as one of the more Basal (phy ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Jordania Zonope
The longfin sculpin (''Jordania zonope'') is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the Family (biology), family Jordaniidae, a small family of sculpins. This species is found in the northeastern Pacific Ocean. This species is the Monotypic taxon, only known member of its genus, ''Jordania''. Taxonomy The longfin sculpin was first formally Species description, described in 1895 by the American ichthyologist Edwin Chapin Starks with its Type locality (biology), type locality given as Port Orchard, Washington, Point Orchard in Puget Sound near Seattle, Washington (state), Washington. Starks classified this new species in the new monospecific genus ''Jordania''. This genus is one of two monospecific genera classified within the family Jordaniidae. Etymology The longfin sculpin's genus name, ''Jordania'', honours David Starr Jordan who Starks said was his "teacher in ichthyology". Starks did not explain his choice of Specific name (zoology), specific name but in 1898 Jorda ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Scorpaenichthyidae
The cabezon (''Scorpaenichthys marmoratus'') is a large species of sculpin native to the Pacific coast of North America. Although the genus name translates literally as "scorpion fish", true scorpionfish (such as lionfish) belong to the related family Scorpaenidae. The Cabezon is the only known member of its genus. Taxonomy and etymology The Cabezon was first formally described as ''Hemitripterus marmoratus'' in 1854 by the American physician and ichthyologist William Orville Ayres with its type locality given as California. Both Ayres and the French biologist Charles Frédéric Girard published the specific name ''marmoratus'' for this taxon in 1854, Ayres published his name on 8 September in ''The Pacific'', a San Francisco-based journal in which the California Academy of Sciences published its meeting reports and the name was published once more on 22 September in the ''Proceedings of the California Academy of Sciences''. Girard's name was deemed to have been published on ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Perciformes
Perciformes (), also called the Acanthopteri, is an order or superorder of ray-finned fish in the clade Percomorpha. ''Perciformes'' means " perch-like". Among the well-known members of this group are perches and darters ( Percidae), and also sea basses and groupers (Serranidae). This order contains many familiar freshwater temperate and tropical marine fish groups, but also extremophiles that have successfully colonized both the North and South Poles, as well as the deepest depths of the ocean. Taxonomy Formerly, this group was thought to be even more diverse than it is thought to be now, containing about 41% of all bony fish (about 10,000 species) and about 160 families, which is the most of any order within the vertebrates. However, many of these other families have since been reclassified within their own orders within the clade Percomorpha, significantly reducing the size of the group. In contrast to this splitting, other groups formerly considered distinct, such as ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cottoidei
Cottoidei is a suborder of ray-finned fishes which, according to the 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'', is placed within the order Scorpaeniformes, alongside the scorpionfishes, flatheads, eelpouts, sticklebacks and related fishes. Taxonomy Cottoidei was first proposed as a taxonomic grouping in 1835 by the Swiss-American zoologist Louis Agassiz. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies the Cottoidei as a suborder of the order Scorpaeniformes. Other workers have found that if the Scorpaeniformes, as delimited in ''Fishes of the World'', is not included in the Perciformes it renders the Perciformes paraphyletic. These workers retain the Cottoidei as a suborder within the Perciformes but include the zoarcoids and Sticklebacks and allies as the infraorders Zoarcales and Gasterosteales while reclassifying most superfamilies of ''Fishes of the World'' as infraorders. Subdivisions The Cottoidei is divided into the following superfamilies and families: * Superfa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cottoidea
A sculpin is a type of fish that belongs to the superfamily Cottoidea in the order Perciformes.Kane, E. A. and T. E. Higham. (2012)Life in the flow lane: differences in pectoral fin morphology suggest transitions in station-holding demand across species of marine sculpin. ''Zoology'' (Jena) 115(4), 223–32. As of 2006, this superfamily contains 7 families, 94 genera, and 387 species. Sculpins occur in many types of habitat, including ocean and freshwater zones. They live in rivers, submarine canyons, kelp forests, and shallow littoral habitat types, such as tidepools. Families and subfamilies Families include: * Jordaniidae Starks, 1895 * Rhamphocottidae Jordan & Gilbert, 1883 * Scorpaenichthyidae Jordan & Evermann, 1898 * Agonidae Swainson, 1839 ** Hemilepidontinae Jordan & Evermann, 1898 ** Hemitripterinae Gill, 1856 ** Bothragoninae Lindberg, 1971 ** Hypsagoninae Gill, 1861 ** Anoplagoninae Gill, 1861 ** Brachyopsinae Jordan & Evermann, 1898 ** Agoninae Sw ...

Rosa Smith Eigenmann
Rosa Smith Eigenmann (October 7, 1858 – January 12, 1947) was an American ichthyologist (the branch of zoology devoted to the study of fish), as well as a writer, editor, former curator at the California Academy of Sciences, and the first librarian of the San Diego Society of Natural History. She "is considered the first woman ichthyologist in the United States." Eigenmann was also the first woman to become president of Indiana University's chapter of Sigma Xi, an honorary science society. She authored twelve published papers of her own between 1880 and 1893, and collaborated with her husband, Carl H. Eigenmann, as "Eigenmann & Eigenmann" on twenty-five additional works between 1888 and 1893. Together, they are credited with describing about 150 species of fishes. Early life and education Rosa Smith was born on October 7, 1858, in Monmouth, Illinois, the youngest of Lucretia (Gray) and Charles Kendall Smith's nine children. Smith's parents, originally from Vermont, had move ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
