Scolopsis
''Scolopsis'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the Family (biology), family Nemipteridae, the threadfin breams. These fishes are found in the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy ''Scolopsis'' was first proposed as a genus in 1814 by the French zoologist Georges Cuvier. It is not clear what species Cuvier was classifying within the genus, although he referred to ''le curite'' which he referred to a fish described as having the Telugu language, Telugu name ''kurite'' from a figure by Patrick Russell (herpetologist), Patrick Russell. However, the type species has traditionally been stated as ''Scolopsis sayanus'', Species description, described by Jacob Gilliams in 1824 from Pennsylvania. ''Scolopsis sayanus'' is a Synonym (taxonomy), synonym of ''Aphredoderus sayanus'', the freshwater American pirate perch. Some authorities argue that as the type species of this genus is not classified within it then the International Commission for Zoological Nom ...

Scolopsis Curite
''Scolopsis curite'', the whitecheek monocle bream, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Nemipteridae, the threadfin breams. This fish is found in the Indian Ocean. Taxonomy ''Scolopsis curite'' was first formally described in 1815 by the French zoologist Georges Cuvier following a figure drawn by Patrick Russell of a fish given the name ''Kurite'' in Visakhapatnam, India. This taxon was regarded as a synonyms of '' S. vosmeri'' but ''S. vosmerii'' has been shown to be a species complex of three species in 2022. ''S. curite'' in the Indian Ocean, ''S. vosmeri'' in the northern Indian Ocean and Indonesia and '' S. japonica'' in the Western Pacific Ocean. ''S. curite'' and ''S. japonica'' are closely related sister species which replace each other geographically. The type species of the genus ''Scolopsis'' is ''Scolopsis sayanus'' but this is a synonym of the pirate perch (''Aphredoderus sayanus'') which is not a member of, or closely related to, the gen ...

Scolopsis Affinis
''Scolopsis affinis'', the Peters' monocle bream, bridled monocle bream or yellowtail spinecheek, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Nemipteridae, the threadfin breams. This species is found in the Indian and Western Pacific Oceans. Taxonomy ''Scolopsis affinis'' was first formally described in 1877 by the German zoologist Wilhelm Peters with its type locality given as Carteret Harbour on Lambom Island, near Cape St. George in southern New Ireland, in the Bismarck Archipelago of Papua New Guinea.

Nemipteridae
Nemipteridae, the threadfin breams, whiptail breams, or Sultan Ibrahim, is a family of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the order Spariformes. These fishes are found in the Indo-West Pacific region. Taxonomy Nemipteridae was first proposed as a family in 1913 by the English ichthyologist Charles Tate Regan with the genera '' Heterognathodes'', ''Nemipterus'' and ''Scolopsis'' included in the family. Traditionally this family has been classified within the Perciformes, as part of the group of families some authorities called the "Sparoid lineage", this included the families Centrarchidae, Nemipteridae, Lethrinidae and Sparidae. Molecular phylogenetics as used in more modern classifications has meant that the Spariformes is recognised as a valid order within the Percomorpha containing six families, with the Centrarchidae retained in the Perciformes, and Callanthidae, Sillaginidae and Lobotidae included. Other workers have found that the Centrarchidae is synonymous with Sparidae ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Aphredoderus Sayanus
The pirate perch (''Aphredoderus sayanus'') is a freshwater fish that commonly inhabits coastal waters along the east coast of the United States and the backwater areas of the Mississippi Valley. This species is often found towards the bottom of clear, warm water habitats with low currents. These fish are normally solitary, carnivorous, and nocturnal. The pirate perch is known to consume live mosquito larva, amphipods, glass shrimp, meal worms, small fish, dragonfly and stonefly larvae, and earthworms. The pirate perch is related to the trout-perches, but only loosely; it is the only species in its family, Aphredoderidae. The genus name, ''Aphredoderus'', literally translates to "excrement throat" in Greek, referencing the unusual location of its anus in the throat region. The specific name ''sayanus'' is a tribute to naturalist Thomas Say. Charles C. Abbott gave the fish its common name after observing it eating only other fishes.

Ray-finned Fish
Actinopterygii (; ), members of which are known as ray-finned fish or actinopterygians, is a class of bony fish that comprise over 50% of living vertebrate species. They are so called because of their lightly built fins made of webbings of skin supported by radially extended thin bony spines called '' lepidotrichia'', as opposed to the bulkier, fleshy lobed fins of the 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 between these fins and the internal skeleton (e.g., pelvic and pectoral girdles). The vast majority of actinopterygians are teleosts. By species count, they dominate the subphylum Vertebrata, and constitute nearly 99% of the over 30,000 extant ...

Bernard Germain Étienne De La Ville, Comte De Lacépède
Bernard (''Bernhard'') is a French and West Germanic masculine given name. It has West Germanic origin and is also a surname. The name is attested from at least the 9th century. West Germanic ''Bernhard'' is composed from the two elements ''bern'' "bear" and ''hard'' "brave, hardy". Its native Old English cognate was ''Beornheard'', which was replaced or merged with the French form ''Bernard'' that was brought to England after the Norman Conquest. The name ''Bernhard'' was notably popular among Old Frisian speakers. Its wider use was popularized due to Saint Bernhard of Clairvaux (canonized in 1174). In Ireland, the name was an anglicized form of Brian. Geographical distribution Bernard is the second most common surname in France. As of 2014, 42.2% of all known bearers of the surname ''Bernard'' were residents of France (frequency 1:392), 12.5% of the United States (1:7,203), 7.0% of Haiti (1:382), 6.6% of Tanzania (1:1,961), 4.8% of Canada (1:1,896), 3.6% of Nigeria (1:12,221), ...

Jacob Gilliams
Jacob, later known as Israel, is a Hebrew patriarch of the Abrahamic religions. He first appears in the Torah, where he is described in the Book of Genesis as a son of Isaac and Rebecca. Accordingly, alongside his older fraternal twin brother Esau, Jacob's paternal grandparents are Abraham and Sarah and his maternal grandfather is Bethuel, whose wife is not mentioned. He is said to have bought Esau's birthright and, with his mother's help, deceived his aging father to bless him instead of Esau. Then, following a severe drought in his homeland Canaan, Jacob and his descendants migrated to neighbouring Egypt through the efforts of his son Joseph, who had become a confidant of the pharaoh. After dying in Egypt at the age of 147, he is supposed to have been buried in the Cave of Machpelah in Hebron. Per the Hebrew Bible, Jacob's progeny were beget by four women: his wives (and maternal cousins) Leah and Rachel; and his concubines Bilhah and Zilpah. His sons were, in order of their b ...
