''Anisotremus'' is a genus of Haemulidae, grunts native to the eastern Pacific and western Atlantic Oceans. The name of this genus is compound of ''anisto'' meaning “different” and ''tremus'' meaning “hole”, referring to the different sized paired pores on each side of the head. Species The currently recognized species in this genus are: *''Anisotremus caesius'' (David Starr Jordan, D. S. Jordan & Charles Henry Gilbert, C. H. Gilbert, 1882) (silvergrey grunt) *''Anisotremus davidsonii'' (Franz Steindachner, Steindachner, 1876) (xantic sargo) *''Anisotremus dovii'' (Albert Günther, Günther, 1864) (spotted head sargo) *''Anisotremus espinozai'' Acevedo-Álvarez, Ruiz-Campos & Domínguez-Domínguez 2021 (Santa Cruz grunt) *''Anisotremus interruptus'' (T.

Anisotremus Virginicus
''Anisotremus virginicus'', the porkfish, also known as the Atlantic porkfish sweetlips, dogfish or paragrate grunt, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a grunt belonging to the family Haemulidae. It is native to the western Atlantic Ocean. Description ''Anisotremus virginicus'' has a deep, compressed body with a very high back and a short, blunt head. The mouth is positioned low on the head, it is horizontal with fleshy lips and the jaws are equipped with bands of teeth on both jaws. The outer band of teeth are conical in shape. The flanks are marked with alternating yellow and silver stripes. There is a black bar running diagonally from over the eye to the upper lip and a second, vertical black bar runs from the front of the dorsal fin to the base of the pectoral fin. They have yellow fins, the caudal fin is deeply forked. The juveniles do not have the two black bars and have two black stripes which run horizontally along the middle of the flanks and a black blotch close t ...

Ray-finned Fish Genera
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] |

Marcus Elieser Bloch
Marcus Elieser Bloch (1723–1799) was a German physician and naturalist who is best known for his contribution to ichthyology through his multi-volume catalog of plates illustrating the fishes of the world. Brought up in a Hebrew-speaking Jewish family, he learned German and Latin and studied anatomy before settling in Berlin as a physician. He amassed a large natural history collection, particularly of fish specimens. He is generally considered one of the most important ichthyologists of the 18th century, and wrote many papers on natural history, comparative anatomy, and physiology. Life Bloch was born at Ansbach in 1723 where his father was a Torah writer and his mother owned a small shop. Educated at home in Hebrew literature he became a private tutor in Hamburg for a Jewish surgeon. Here he learned German, Latin and anatomy. He then studied medicine in Berlin and received a doctorate in 1762 from Frankfort on the Oder with a treatise on skin disorders. He then became a ...

Johann Jakob Von Tschudi
Johann Jakob von Tschudi (25 July 1818 – 8 October 1889) was a Switzerland, Swiss naturalist, explorer, and diplomat. He is known for his travels in South America, his scientific contributions to zoology and anthropology, and his diplomatic service for Switzerland. Early life and education Tschudi was born in Glarus to Johann Jakob Tschudi, a merchant, and Anna Maria Zwicky.

Camillo Ranzani
Camillo Ranzani (22 June 177523 April 1841, Bologna) was an Italian Priesthood (Catholic Church), priest and a naturalist. He was director of the Museum of Natural History of Bologna from 1803 to 1841 (now the Museum of Comparative Anatomy, one of the museums of the University of Bologna).

He attended the Piarists, Piarist school in his native town. His talent attracted the notice of Giovanni Battista Respighi, a priest of the Oratory of Saint Philip Neri, congregation of the Oratory. Through the assistance of Respighi, Ranzani entered the University of Bologna. He distinguished himself so much in the philosophical course that, even before he had completed his studies, he was occasionally employed by the professor Giuseppe Vogli as his substitute.
