Barbonymus
''Barbonymus'' is a ray-finned fish genus in the family Cyprinidae, containing some barb species. The genus was only established in 1999, with the tinfoil barb (''B. schwanenfeldii'') as type species; thus, these fish are sometimes collectively called tinfoils. The new genus was established in recognition of the fact that some large Asian "barbs", formerly rather indiscriminately lumped in '' Barbus'' (typical barbels and relatives), '' Barbodes'' (barb-like carps) and '' Puntius'' (spotted barbs), form a distinct evolutionary lineage. They are actually very close relatives of the common carp (''Cyprinus carpio''). Even though only five species are included at present, it is not certain whether these form a monophyletic lineage; the Java barb (''B. gonionotus'') for example seems to be very close indeed to '' Cyclocheilichthys'', which unites a number of barb-like "carps". Past hybridization is known widely in Cyprinidae, and confounds molecular and other cladistic studies ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Barbonymus Gonionotus
The Java barb (''Barbonymus gonionotus''; ''Ta-phian''; Lao language, Lao: ''Pa keng''; ''Trey Chpin''; ; Vietnamese language, Vietnamese: ''Mè Vinh''), more commonly known as silver barb in aquaculture, is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus ''Barbonymus''. Description The Java barb has a strongly compressed body with an elevated back caused by an arched dorsal profile. It has a small head with a short, pointed snout and a terminal mouth, the snout's length is less than the diameter of the eye. It has very small barbels, with the upper barbels being minute, even disappearing entirely. The colour of fresh specimens is silvery white, occasionally tinted with gold. The dorsal fin, dorsal and caudal fins are grey to grey-yellow while the anal fin, anal and pelvic fins are pale orange with reddish tips and the pectoral fins are pale yellow. It has very few tubercles on the snout and these are only visible when magnified. The dorsal fin has four spines and eight soft rays wh ...

Tinfoil Barb
The tinfoil barb (''Barbonymus schwanenfeldii'') is a tropical Southeast Asian freshwater fish of the family Cyprinidae. This species was originally described as ''Barbus schwanenfeldii'' by Pieter Bleeker in 1853, and has also been placed in the genera ''Barbodes'' and ''Puntius''. The specific epithet is frequently misspelled ''schwanefeldii''. Nowadays it is usually placed in the genus ''Barbonymus'', which was only established in 1999. It is the genus' type species, and indeed seems to represent a quite distinct lineage of large "barbs". It is not very similar to the barbels which are the core of the genus ''Barbus'', and though closer to these than to some African barbs, they seem to be closer still to the common carp (''Cyprinus carpio'') and to ''Cyclocheilichthys'' than to either of the aforementioned. It is distinguishable from other species of the genus in having a red dorsal fin with a black blotch at the tip, red pectoral, pelvic and anal fins, red caudal fin with wh ...

Barb (fish)
A barb is one of various ray-finned fish species in a non-phylogenetic group, with members in the family (biology), family Cyprinidae, and especially the genera ''Barbus'' and ''Puntius'', but many others also. They were formerly united with the barbel (fish), barbels in the subfamily Barbinae but that group is paraphyletic with the Cyprininae. If the Labeoninae are recognized as distinct, many small African "barbs" would probably, however, warrant recognition as a new subfamily. The Root (linguistics), root of the word "barb" is common in cyprinid names of European languages, from the Latin ''barba'' ("beard") (Concise Oxford Dictionary, COD): * ''barb'' from Catalan * ''barbi'' from Finnish * ''barbo'' from Spanish * ''barbeau'' from French * ''barbo'' from Italian and many others. This is in reference to the barbel (anatomy), barbels which are prominently seen around the mouth of many "barbs". Genera Genera that contain species with common names including "barb": * ''Borde ...

Carp
The term carp (: carp) is a generic common name for numerous species of freshwater fish from the family (biology), family Cyprinidae, a very large clade of ray-finned fish mostly native to Eurasia. While carp are prized game fish, quarries and are valued (even pisciculture, commercially cultivated) as both food fish, food and ornamental fish in many parts of the Old World, they are considered trash fish and invasive species, invasive pest (organism), pests in many parts of Africa, Australia and most of the United States. Biology The cypriniformes (family Cyprinidae) are traditionally grouped with the Characiformes, Siluriformes, and Gymnotiformes to create the superorder Ostariophysi, since these groups share some common features. These features include being found predominantly in fresh water and possessing Weberian ossicles, an anatomical structure derived from the first five anterior-most vertebrae, and their corresponding ribs and neural crests. The third anterior-most pair ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Barbus
''Barbus'' is a genus of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae. The type species of ''Barbus'' is the common barbel, first described as ''Cyprinus barbus'' and now named ''Barbus barbus''. ''Barbus'' is the namesake genus of the subfamily Barbinae, but given their relationships, that taxon is better included in the Cyprininae at least for the largest part (including the type species of ''Barbus''). Description and uses Their common names – barbs and barbels – refer to the fact that most members of the genera have a pair of barbels on their mouths, which they can use to search for food at the bottom of the water. Barbels are often fished for food; in some locations they are of commercial significance. The roe of barbels is poisonous, however. The large ''Barbus'' barbs are also often eaten in their native range. The smaller barbs are in some cases traded as aquarium fish. Some are quite significant, but as a whole, the genus is not yet as well represented in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Typical Carp
''Cyprinus'' is the genus of typical carps in family Cyprinidae. Most species in the genus are of East Asia origin with only the common carp (''C. carpio'') in Western Asia and Europe; this invasive species has also been introduced to many other regions around the world. ''Cyprinus'' are closely related to some more barb-like genera, such as ''Cyclocheilichthys'' and ''Barbonymus'' (tinfoils). The crucian carps (''Carassius'') of western Eurasia, which include the goldfish (''C. auratus''), are apparently not as closely related. This genus's most widespread and well-known member is the common carp (''C. carpio'') species complex. Although traditionally considered a single species, recent authorities have split the European and West Asian populations from the East Asian, with the latter named '' C. rubrofuscus'' ( syn. ''C. carpio haematopterus''). Members of the species complex are famed as a food fish and have been widely traded and introduced since antiquity, but in certain a ...
