Velvetfish
Little velvetfishes or simply velvetfishes are a family, the Aploactinidae, of marine ray-finned fishes classified within the order Scorpaeniformes. They are small fish that have skin with a velvet texture. They live on the sea bottom close to the shore, at depths of up to . They are found in the Indo-Pacific region. Taxonomy Aploactinidae was first formally recognised as a family by the American ichthyologists David Starr Jordan and Edwin Chapin Starks in 1904.The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies the family within the suborder Scorpaenoidei which in turn is classified within the order Scorpaeniformes. Other authorities place the Scorpaenoidei within the Perciformes. The results of some studies suggest that the velvetfishes into an expanded stonefish clade, the family Synanceiidae because all of these fish have a curved sabre-like lacrimal spine that can project, using a switch-blade-like mechanism, out from underneath their eye. The name of the family is taken ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Scorpaeniformes
The Scorpaeniformes are a diverse order of ray-finned fish, including the lionfishes and sculpins, but have also been called the Scleroparei. It is one of the five largest orders of bony fishes by number of species, with over 1,320. They are known as "mail-cheeked" fishes due to their distinguishing characteristic, the suborbital stay: a backwards extension of the third circumorbital bone (part of the lateral head/cheek skeleton, below the eye socket) across the cheek to the pre operculum, to which it is connected in most species. Scorpaeniform fishes are carnivorous, mostly feeding on crustaceans and on smaller fish. Most species live on the sea bottom in relatively shallow waters, although species are known from deep water, from the midwater, and even from fresh water. They typically have spiny heads, and rounded pectoral and caudal fins. Most species are less than in length, but the full size range of the order varies from the velvetfishes belonging to the family Aploacti ...

Chiyomatsu Ishikawa
was a Japanese biologist, zoologist, evolutionary theorist, and ichthyologist at the Naples Zoological Station starting 1887. He was responsible for disseminating Darwin's ideas on evolution in Japan. Biography Ishikawa Chiyomatsu was born in Edo as a son of a high-ranking samurai, a Hatamoto. But the Meiji Restoration occurred and when the Tokugawa shogunate collapsed, he moved to Sunpu (Shizuoka prefecture) in 1867. In 1972, he returned to Tokyo and studied English. He entered the Tokyo Kaisei Gakko, which was a high education college belonging Ministry of Education in 1876. His was taught by Montague Arthur Fenton, which influenced Chiyomatsu to start a collection of butterflies. Chiyomatsu entered the Tokyo Imperial University in 1978, and studied under Edward S. Morse. After Morse left Japan, his teachers were Charles Otis Whitman and Kakichi Mitsukuri. After graduating from the Tokyo Imperial University, he studied in Germany under eminent evolutionary theorist August Weis ...

Sthenopus
''Sthenopus'' is a monotypic genus of marine ray-finned fish, a velvetfish belonging to the family Aploactinidae. It is found in the western Pacific Ocean where it is known from China and Thailand. The only known member of this genus is ''Sthenopus mollis''. Taxonomy ''Sthenopus'' was described as a genus in 1848 by the Scottish naval surgeon, naturalist and Arctic explorer John Richardson when he described ''Sthenopus mollis'' as a new species from the "Sea of China". He placed this new species in the new monotypic genus ''Sthenopus''. This taxon is classified within the family Aploactinidae in the suborder Scorpaenoidei within the order Scorpaeniformes, although this family is also treated as a subfamily of the stonefish family Synanceiidae within the Scorpaenoidei, which in turn is treated as a superfamily within the order Perciformes. The name of the genus, ''Sthenopus'' combiunes ''sthenos'', meaning "strong" (although Richardson may have meant ''asthenos'', i.e. "weak") ...

Aploactis
The dusky velvetfish (''Aploactis aspera'') is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a velvetfish belonging to the family Aploactinidae. It is the only member of the monotypic genus ''Aploactis''. This species is found in the western Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy The dusky velvetfish was first formally described in 1843 as ''Synanceia aspera'' by the Scottish naval surgeon, Arctic explorer and naturalist John Richardson with the type locality given as "Seas of Japan", the type being collected during the voyage of HMS Sulphur. In 1843 Temminck and Schlegel had described a new subgenus of the stonefish genus ''Synanceia'', ''Aploactis'', and Richardson had named his new species this subgenus. Subsequently, only the dusky velvetfish was retained within ''Aploactis'' and this was eventually recognised as a valid genus and Richardson had designated ''S. aspera'' as its type species in 1844. This taxon is classified within the family Aploactinidae in the suborder Scorpaenoidei within t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
