Trachinus
''Trachinus'' is a genus of weevers, order Perciformes that consists of seven extant species. Six of the genus representatives inhabit the waters of Eastern Atlantic Ocean, but only one, ''Trachinus cornutus'', inhabits the South-Eastern Pacific Ocean. Three of the Atlantic species occur near the coasts of Europe. An eighth extinct species, ''Trachinus minutus, T. minutus'', is known from Oligocene-aged strata from the Carpathian Mountains, while a ninth species, also extinct, ''Trachinus dracunculus, T. dracunculus'', is known from middle-Miocene-aged strata from Piemonte, Italy. The genus name, given by Carl Linnaeus, Linnaeus, is from ', the Medieval Latin name for the fish, which in turn is from the Ancient Greek wikt:τραχύς, τρᾱχύς ''trachýs'' ‘rough’.Entry ‘Trachinidae’.

Trachinus Draco
The greater weever (''Trachinus draco'', Linnaeus 1758) is a benthic and demersal venomous marine fish of the family Trachinidae. The greater weever is widely distributed along the eastern Atlantic coastline from Norway to Morocco, extending to the Mediterranean, Aegean Sea, Aegean and Black Seas. ''Trachinus draco'' has been shown to occur in depths ranging from shallow water up to -150 meters where it inhabits mostly muddy or sandy grounds. ''Trachinus draco'' is mostly and notoriously known for its venomous spines that can inflict serious injuries on humans through accidental stinging. Because of these spines and its potent venom it is classified as one of the most venomous fishes in the Mediterranean. The name "weever" is thought to originate from the Anglo-Saxon word "wivre" which translates as "viper". Physical appearance ''Trachinus draco'' is an elongated and laterally flattened fish with upstanding eyes and a distinct superior mouth that is inclined upwards. The lo ...

Trachinus Araneus
The spotted weever (''Trachinus araneus'') is a fish of the family Trachinidae, order Perciformes, and class Actinopterygii. It is up to 45 cm long, brown and yellow on the head and back, paler below with darker spots along the sides. The body is long and laterally flattened, the mouth almost vertical in the head. The front half of the first dorsal fin is and consists of three spines, which are highly poisonous, as are the backward-facing spines on the extremities of the gill covers. The spotted weever lives close to the bottom down to about 100 m. It prefers a clim ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Weevers
Weevers (or weeverfish) are nine extant species of ray-finned fishes of the family Trachinidae in the order Perciformes, part of the wider clade Percomorpha. They are long (up to 37 cm), mainly brown in color, and have venomous spines on their first dorsal fin and gills. During the day, weevers bury themselves in sand, just showing their eyes, and snatch prey as it comes past, which consists of shrimp and small fish. Weevers are unusual in not having swim bladders, as have most bony fish, and as a result sink as soon as they stop actively swimming. With the exception of '' T. cornutus'' from the southeast Pacific, all species in this family are restricted to the eastern Atlantic (including the Mediterranean). An extinct relative, ''Callipteryx'', is known from the Monte Bolca lagerstätte of the Lutetian epoch. Weevers are sometimes used as an ingredient in the recipe for ''bouillabaisse''. Weevers are sometimes erroneously called 'weaver fish', although the word is un ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

10th Edition Of Systema Naturae
The 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae'' (Latin; the English title is ''A General System of Nature'') is a book written by Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus and published in two volumes in 1758 and 1759, which marks the starting point of zoological nomenclature. In it, Linnaeus introduced binomial nomenclature for animals, something he had already done for plants in his 1753 publication of ''Species Plantarum''. Starting point Before 1758, most biological catalogues had used polynomial names for the taxa included, including earlier editions of ''Systema Naturae''. The first work to consistently apply binomial nomenclature across the animal kingdom was the 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae''. The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature therefore chose 1 January 1758 as the "starting point" for zoological nomenclature and asserted that the 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae'' was to be treated as if published on that date. Names published before that date are unavailable, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
