Ophioblennius Atlanticus
''Ophioblennius atlanticus'', also known as the redlip blenny and the horseface blenny, is a species of combtooth blenny, family Blenniidae, found primarily in the western central Atlantic ocean. Redlip blennies can be found in coral crests and shallow fringing reefs. They are highly territorial and attack intruders with two long, sharp canine teeth. The adults are found at depths of 10 to 20 meters, and the eggs are benthic. The adults may reach up to four inches in length when fully grown, and they have large reddish lips, from which they attained their names. Redlip blennies largely feed on algae. Taxonomy The species was originally described by French zoologist Achille Valenciennes in 1836. ''Ophis'' is Greek for "serpent", and ''blennios'' is Greek for "mucus". The species name ''atlanticus'' is the name for its location of capture. The common name, redlip, refers to the reddish color of its lips. Description Adult redlip blennies can reach two to four inches in length. Th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ophioblennius Macclurei
''Ophioblennius macclurei'', the redlip blenny, is a species of combtooth blenny found in coral reefs in the western Atlantic ocean. This species reaches a length of TL. The specific name honours the American comparative anatomist and embryologist Charles Freeman Williams McClure (1865–1955) in recognition of his work on the lymphatic system The lymphatic system, or lymphoid system, is an organ system in vertebrates that is part of the immune system and complementary to the circulatory system.

Salarinae
Salarinae is one of two subfamilies in the combtooth blenny family Blenniidae, it is the largest of the two subfamilies in the Blennidae with 43 genera. The species in this subfamily are mainly marine, with a few species which are found in freshwater or brackish water, and a few species are known to spend much time out of the water. Classification The Salarinae was formerly divided into at least two tribes, the Parablenniini and the Salariini, largely based on their dentition. However, the differences between these two tribes were not consistent, many taxa showed intermediate characteristics and it has been suggested that the subfamily should not be divided into tribes. Subject to further study, the Parablenniini and Salarinae should be treated as synonyms. The following genera are classified as belonging to the Salarinae: * '' Aidablennius'' Whitley, 1947 * '' Alloblennius'' Smith-Vaniz & Springer, 1971 * '' Alticus'' Lacepède, 1800 * ''Andamia'' Blyth, 1858 * '' Antenna ...

Combtooth Blennies
Combtooth blennies are blenniiformids; percomorph marine fish of the family Blenniidae, part of the order Blenniiformes. They are the largest family of blennies with around 401 known species in 58 genera. Combtooth blennies are found in tropical and subtropical waters in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans; some species are also found in brackish and even freshwater environments. Description The body plan of the combtooth blennies is archetypal to all other blennioids; their blunt heads and eyes are large, with large continuous dorsal fins (which may have three to 17 spines). Their bodies are compressed, elongated, and scaleless; their small, slender pelvic fins (which are absent in only two species) are situated before their enlarged pectoral fins, and their tail fins are rounded. As their name would suggest, combtooth blennies are noted for the comb-like teeth lining their jaws. By far the largest species is the eel-like hairtail blenny at 53 cm in length; most o ...

Alípio De Miranda-Ribeiro
Alípio de Miranda-Ribeiro (21 February 1874, Rio Preto, Minas Gerais – 8 January 1939) was a Brazilian herpetologist and ichthyologist. His son, Paulo de Miranda-Ribeiro (1901–1965), was also a zoologist. From an early age Alípio de Miranda-Ribeiro had a passion for natural history; as an adolescent he translated works of Buffon into Portuguese. He studied medicine in Rio de Janeiro, and from 1894 worked as a preparator at the National Museum of Brazil. Here he later served as secretary (from 1899), and director of the department of zoology (from 1929). During his career he explored the Amazon region many times, and under the direction of Candido Rondon (1865–1958) he took part in installing the first telegraph through the Amazon and Mato Grosso. In 1911, after visiting museums and fishery programs in Europe and the United States, he founded a fisheries inspectorate in Brazil, the first official services on fisheries in the nation. In 1911 he published the highly re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
