Antipodocottus
''Antipodocottus'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Cottidae, the typical sculpins. These fishes are found in the western Pacific Ocean. This is the only genus of Cottids represented in the Southern Hemisphere, although their classification in the Cottidae is not universally accepted. Taxonomy ''Antipodocottus'' was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1952 by the American ichthyologist Rolf Ling Bolin when he described ''Antipodocottus galathea'' from the Tasman Sea off New Zealand. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies the genus ''Alcichthys'' within the subfamily Cottinae of the family Cottidae, however, other authors classify the genus within the subfamily Psychrolutinae of the family Psychrolutidae. Species There are currently four recognized species in this genus: * ''Antipodocottus elegans'' R. Fricke & Brunken ( de), 1984 (Dwarf sculpin) * ''Antipodocottus galatheae'' Bolin, 1952 (Galathea sculpin) * ''Antipodoc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Antipodocottus Galatheae
''Antipodocottus galatheae'', the Galathea sculpin, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Cottidae, the typical sculpins. This species found on the continental shelf around New Zealand. It has also been recorded off Tasmania, New South Wales and Queensland. Taxonomy ''Antipodocottus galatheae'' was first formally described in 1952 by the American ichthyologist Rolf Ling Bolin. It is the type species of the genus ''Antipodocottus''. The specific name is taken from the Danish research ship '' HMDS Galathea'' from which the holotype A holotype is a single physical example (or illustration) of an organism, known to have been used when the species (or lower-ranked taxon) was formally described.

Cottidae
The Cottidae are a family of fish in the superfamily Cottoidea, the sculpins. It is the largest sculpin family, with about 275 species in 70 genera.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. They are referred to simply as cottids to avoid confusion with sculpins of other families. Cottids are distributed worldwide, especially in boreal and colder temperate climates. The center of diversity is the northern Pacific Ocean. Species occupy many types of aquatic habitats, including marine and fresh waters, and deep and shallow zones. A large number occur in near-shore marine habitat types, such as kelp forests and shallow reefs. They can be found in estuaries and in bodies of fresh water. Most cottids are small fish, under in length. The species ''Scorpaenichthys marmoratus'' can be up to in length.Froese, R. and D ...

Psychrolutidae
The fish family Psychrolutidae (commonly known as blobfishes, toadfishes, flathead sculpins, tadpole sculpins,) contains over 35 recognized species in 8 genera. This family consists of bottom-dwelling marine sculpins shaped like tadpoles, with large heads and bodies that taper back into small, flat tails. The skin is loosely attached and movable, and the layer underneath it is gelatinous. The eyes are placed high on the head, focused forward closer to the tip of the snout. Members of the family generally have large, leaf-like pectoral fins and lack scales, although some species are covered with soft spines. This is important to the species as the depths in which they live are highly pressurized and they are ambush/opportunistic/foraging predators that do not expend energy unless they are forced to. The blobfish has a short, broad tongue and conical teeth that are slightly recurved and are arranged in bands in irregular rows along the premaxillaries; canines are completely absent. T ...

Hugh Hamilton DeWitt
Hugh Hamilton DeWitt (28 December 1933-5 January 1995) was an American ichthyologist, marine biologist and oceanographer. DeWitt was born on 28 December 1933 in San Jose, California, son of Carl Bryce Seligman, a country doctor, and Honor Pettit Seligman, a teacher of mathematics and Latin. His surname at birth was Seligman but at his father's urging he and his brothers changed their name to DeWitt in the 1950s, a name from their mother’s side of the family, as they had encountered mistaken preconceptions while attending High Schools in the eastern United States. His brothers were the theoretical physicist Bryce Seligman DeWitt, Lloyd Lewis DeWitt (1926-1988), who joined the United States Foreign Service and Hiram Pettit DeWitt (b.1936), a teacher. He grew up largely in California, leaving to attend high school at the Putney School in Vermont. He returned to California to enrol at Stanford University, gaining his Bachelor's degree in 1955, masters in 1960 and doctorate in 1966, ...
