Paradicichthyinae
Paradicichthyinae is a subfamily of marine ray-finned fishes, one of four subfamilies classified within the Family (biology), family Lutjanidae, the snappers. Taxonomy Paradicichthyinae was created as a subfamily of the Lutjanidae in 1930 by the Australian ichthyologist Gilbert Percy Whitley with its type species being ''Paradicichthys venenatus'' which Whitley Species description, described at the same time. Whtley's ''P. venenatus'' was later shown to be a Synonym (taxonomy), synonym of ''Symphorus nematophorus'' which had been described by the Dutch people, Dutch ichthyologist Pieter Bleeker in 1860. Whitley's name for the subfamily was retained as he was the first to identify and describe this taxon. Genera The subfamily Paradicichthyinae contains 2 genera and 2 species: * genus ''Symphorichthys'' Ian Stafford Ross Munro, Munro, 1967 * genus ''Symphorus'' Albert Günther, Günther, 1872 References Paradicichthyinae, Ray-finned fish subfamilies {{Lutjanidae-stub ...

Symphorichthys Spilurus
The sailfin snapper (''Symphorichthys spilurus''), blue-lined sea bream or blue-lined sea perch is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a snapper belonging to the family Lutjanidae. It is native to the Indo-Pacific region. The sailfin snapper is targeted in mixed-species fisheries throughout its range. In areas such as the Philippines it is known to be overfished, while in others, for example Palau, pressure is lighter. It is caught predominantly using handlines and bottom trawling. The juveniles appear in the aquarium trade. It is currently the only known member of its genus. Taxonomy The sailfin snapper was first formally described in 1874 by the German-born British ichthyologist Albert Günther as ''Symphorus spilurus'' with the type locality given as Palau. The Australian marine scientist Ian Stafford Ross Munro placed it in the monotypic genus ''Symphorichthys'' in 1967. The genus ''Symphorichthys'' is one of two genera in the subfamily Paradicichthyinae of the snapper f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Symphorus
The Chinamanfish (''Symphorus nematophorus''), Chinaman snapper, galloper or thread-finned sea perch, is species of marine ray-finned fish, a snapper belonging to the family Lutjanidae. It is found in the Western Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy The Chinamanfish was first formally described in 1860 by the Dutch ichthyologist Pieter Bleeker as ''Mesoprion nematophorus'' with the type locality given as Badjoa on Sulawesi. the German-born British ichthyologist Albert Günther ''Symphorus'' in 1872. The genus ''Symphorus'' is one of two genera in the subfamily Paradicichthyinae of the snapper family Lutjanidae. The genus name ''Symphorus'' was not explained by Günther but it may be a compound of ''sym'', meaning “together with” and ''phorus'' meaning “bearer”, a possible a reference to its undivided dorsal fin. The specific name ''nematophorus'' is also a compound, this time having “nemato” meaning “thread” prefixing ''phorus'', a reference to the projection of at least o ...

Lutjanidae
Lutjanidae or snappers are a family of perciform fishes, mainly marine but with some members inhabiting estuaries and, in some cases, fresh water (e.g., '' Lutjanus goldiei''). The family includes about 113 species. Most species are used for food and many are of high economic importance. Many species around the world are known in local languages as red snapper, including species from different genera (including Lutjanus and Pristipomoides) Snappers inhabit tropical, subtropical, and warm-temperate regions of all oceans. Some snappers grow up to about in length, and one species, the cubera snapper, grows up to in length. Most are active carnivores, feeding on crustaceans or other fishes, though a few are plankton-feeders. They can be kept in aquaria, but commonly grow too fast to be popular aquarium fish. Most species live at depths reaching near coral reefs, but some species are found up to deep. As with other fishes, some snapper species host parasites. A detailed st ...

Ray-finned Fishes
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] |
Family (biology)
Family (, : ) is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between order and genus. A family may be divided into subfamilies, which are intermediate ranks between the ranks of family and genus. The official family names are Latin in origin; however, popular names are often used: for example, walnut trees and hickory trees belong to the family Juglandaceae, but that family is commonly referred to as the "walnut family". The delineation of what constitutes a family—or whether a described family should be acknowledged—is established and decided upon by active taxonomists. There are not strict regulations for outlining or acknowledging a family, yet in the realm of plants, these classifications often rely on both the vegetative and reproductive characteristics of plant species. Taxonomists frequently hold varying perspectives on these descriptions, leading to a lack of widespread consensus within the scientific community ...

Ichthyologist
Ichthyology is the branch of zoology devoted to the study of fish, including bony fish (Osteichthyes), cartilaginous fish (Chondrichthyes), and jawless fish (Agnatha). According to FishBase, 35,800 species of fish had been described as of March 2025, with approximately 250 new species described each year. Etymology The word is derived from the Ancient Greek words wikt:ἰχθύς, ἰχθύς, ''ikhthus'', meaning "fish"; and wikt:-λόγος, λόγος, ''logos'', meaning "study". History The study of fish dates from the Upper Paleolithic, Upper Paleolithic Revolution (with the advent of "high culture"). The science of ichthyology was developed in several interconnecting epochs, each with various significant advancements. The study of fish receives its origins from humans' desire to feed, clothe, and equip themselves with useful implements. According to Michael Barton (professor), Michael Barton, a prominent ichthyologist and professor at Centre College, "the earliest ichthy ...

Subfamily
In biological classification, a subfamily (Latin: ', plural ') is an auxiliary (intermediate) taxonomic rank, next below family but more inclusive than genus. Standard nomenclature rules end botanical subfamily names with "-oideae", and zoological subfamily names with "-inae". Detarioideae is an example of a botanical subfamily. Detarioideae is a subdivision of the family Fabaceae (legumes), containing 84 genera. Stevardiinae is an example of a zoological subfamily. Stevardiinae is a large subdivision of the family Characidae, a diverse clade In biology, a clade (), also known as a Monophyly, monophyletic group or natural group, is a group of organisms that is composed of a common ancestor and all of its descendants. Clades are the fundamental unit of cladistics, a modern approach t ... of freshwater fish.

Synonym (taxonomy)
In taxonomy, the scientific classification of living organisms, a synonym is an alternative scientific name for the accepted scientific name of a taxon. The Botanical nomenclature, botanical and Zoological nomenclature, zoological codes of nomenclature treat the concept of synonymy differently. * In nomenclature, botanical nomenclature, a synonym is a Binomial nomenclature, scientific name that applies to a taxon that now goes by a different scientific name. For example, Carl Linnaeus, Linnaeus was the first to give a scientific name (under the currently used system of scientific nomenclature) to the Norway spruce, which he called ''Pinus abies''. This name is no longer in use, so it is now a synonym of the current scientific name, ''Picea abies''. * In zoology, moving a species from one genus to another results in a different Binomial nomenclature, binomen, but the name is considered an alternative combination rather than a synonym. The concept of synonymy in zoology is reserved f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
