Stromateidae
The family Stromateidae or butterfish contains 15 species of ray-finned fish in three genera. Butterfishes live in coastal waters off the Americas, western Africa and in the Indo-Pacific. The endemic New Zealand species '' Odax pullus'' is commonly called butterfish, but is from a separate family Odacidae. The Japanese butterfish ''Psenopsis anomala'' is from the separate family Centrolophidae. The African butter catfish is also known as the butter fish. In South Australia, the ''Argyrosomus japonicus'' is commonly called butterfish as well.

Peprilus Paru
''Peprilus paru'', (harvestfish or American harvestfish; syn. ''Peprilus alepidotus''), also occasionally known by a few local names as star butter fish or sometimes even simply as butterfish, is a marine, benthopelagic, circular-shaped and deep-bodied fish classified in the family Stromateidae of butterfishes. These fish grow usually to about in length, and are deep-bodied and circular-shaped, with curved fins, rounded nose and small mouth. Harvestfish are greenish silvery above, silvery sometimes tinged with yellow on its sides and belly and the fins of some individuals are slightly dusky or yellowish. Their habitat is the subtropical waters of the Western Atlantic: Chesapeake Bay and northern Gulf of Mexico in United States to Argentina. Harvestfish are sometimes caught commercially as a food fish. Description The harvestfish is deep-bodied, round, and strongly compressed laterally with a forked caudal fin. It has long, curved, sickle-shaped dorsal and anal fins, lacks pelvic ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pampus (fish)
''Pampus'' is a genus of ray-finned fish Actinopterygii (; ), members of which are known as ray-finned fish or actinopterygians, is a class of bony fish that comprise over 50% of living vertebrate species. They are so called because of their lightly built fins made of webbings of sk ... of the family Stromateidae. They are an important food fish in East and Southeast Asia. In common parlance they are often called pomfrets, although scientifically the term pomfret properly refers to fish of the genus Bramidae. An alternative name for "pomfrets" of the Pampus genus is "pompano". Species There are currently nine valid species: * '' Pampus argenteus'' ( Euphrasén, 1788) (Silver pomfret) * '' Pampus candidus'' ( Cuvier, 1829) * '' Pampus chinensis'' Euphrasén, 1788 (Chinese silver pomfret) * '' Pampus cinereus'' ( Bloch, 1795) (Grey pomfret) * '' Pampus griseus'' ( Cuvier, 1833) * '' Pampus liuorum'' J.

Silver Or White Pomfret
''Pampus argenteus'', the silver pomfret or white pomfret (or pompano to avoid confusion with true pomfrets of the genus Bramidae), is a species of butterfish that lives in the Indo-West Pacific, spanning the coastal waters of the Middle East, Eastern Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and East Asia. The species has been reported only twice, one hundred years apart, from the central Mediterranean Sea. Silver pomfrets are usually silver/white in color, with few small scales. They can grow up to a range of 4–6 kg (8–13 lb). However, due to overfishing, specimens weighing less than 1 kg (2 lb) are more commonly seen. The silver pomfret should not be mistaken for the Florida pompano (''Trachinotus carolinus''), which is a jackfish found off the coast of Florida in the Gulf of Mexico, and neither should be confused with true pomfrets, which are of the family Bramidae. As food This fish is prized in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region for its taste. Its fles ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pampus Punctatissimus
Pampus () is an artificial island and late 19th-century sea fort located in the IJmeer near Amsterdam. Pampus now belongs to the municipality of Gooise Meren and is open to visitors. Together with the artillery battery on the lighthouse island near Durgerdam and the battery at the Diemer seawall, Pampus protected the entrance to IJ Bay and the harbour of Amsterdam. Pampus was part of the Defence Line of Amsterdam (Dutch: ''Stelling van Amsterdam''). In 1996, UNESCO designated the entire Defence Line with its 42 forts a World Heritage Site. Construction The fort is on a man-made island situated on what was the Pampus shallows or sandbank in the then Zuiderzee. There is a well-known Dutch expression "laying for Pampus" used to describe people that are lying down knocked out. It stems from the time ships had to wait for high tide at Pampus before they could enter the harbour of Amsterdam. Work commenced in 1887 and creating the island and fort required the sinking of 3,800 pil ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
