Diplodus Sargus
''Diplodus sargus'', the sargo, common white seabream, or white seabream is a species of marine Actinopterygii, ray-finned fish belonging to the Family (biology), family Sparidae, which includes the seabreams and porgies. This fish is found in the eastern Atlantic Ocean and in the Mediterranean Sea. It is a target species for commercial fisheries and is grown in aquaculture. ''D. sargus'' ''sensu lato'' was formerly thought to be a widespread species in the eastern Atlantic and western Indian Oceans but the taxa outside of ''D, sargus'' ''sensu stricto'' are now recognised as valid species and are part of the ''D. sargus'' species complex. Taxonomy ''Diplodus sargus'' was first formally Species description, described as ''Sparus sargus'' by Carl Linnaeus in the 10th edition of his ''Systema naturae'' published in 1758. Linnaeus gave the Type locality (biology), type locality as the Mediterranean. ''Diplodus vulgaris, D. vulgaris'' is closely related to ''D. sargus'' and these two ...

Carl Linnaeus
Carl Linnaeus (23 May 1707 – 10 January 1778), also known after ennoblement in 1761 as Carl von Linné,#Blunt, Blunt (2004), p. 171. was a Swedish biologist and physician who formalised binomial nomenclature, the modern system of naming organisms. He is known as the "father of modern Taxonomy (biology), taxonomy". Many of his writings were in Latin; his name is rendered in Latin as and, after his 1761 ennoblement, as . Linnaeus was the son of a curate and was born in Råshult, in the countryside of Småland, southern Sweden. He received most of his higher education at Uppsala University and began giving lectures in botany there in 1730. He lived abroad between 1735 and 1738, where he studied and also published the first edition of his ' in the Netherlands. He then returned to Sweden where he became professor of medicine and botany at Uppsala. In the 1740s, he was sent on several journeys through Sweden to find and classify plants and animals. In the 1750s and 1760s, he co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Genus
Genus (; : genera ) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family (taxonomy), family as used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. Phylogeneti ...

Diplodus Caudimacula
''Diplodus'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging the family Sparidae, which includes the seabreams and porgies. These fishes are found in the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea and the western Indian Ocean. Taxonomy ''Diplodus'' was first formally proposed as a monospecific genus in 1810 by the French naturalist and polymath Constantine Samuel Rafinesque with ''Sparus annularis'' as its type species by monotypy. ''S. annularis'' had been described in 1758 from the Mediterranean Sea by Carl Linnaeus in the 10th edition of his ''Systema Naturae''. This genus is placed in the family Sparidae within the order Spariformes by the 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World''. Some authorities classify this genus in the subfamily Sparinae, but the 5th edition of Fishes of the World does not recognise subfamilies within the Sparidae. Within the genus three clades have been identified, the first consists of ''D. annularis'' and ''D. bellottii'', the second is made up of ''D. vulga ...

Diplodus Argenteus
''Diplodus argenteus'', the silver porgy, is an ocean-going species of sparid fish (seabream/porgies). It is also called the South American silver porgy and the white bream in Uruguay, plus the silver seabream and the sargo, though the latter three names are also used for other fish species as well.Nión, H., C. Ríos and P. Meneses, 2002. Peces del Uruguay: Lista sistemática y nombres comunes. Montevideo, DINARA, Infopesca. Taxonomy and naming The silver porgy was originally described in 1830 by the French zoologist Achille Valenciennes as ''Sargus argenteus,'' but it was later moved from the genus '' Sargus'' into ''Diplodus''.Cuvier, G. and A.

Cape Verde
Cape Verde or Cabo Verde, officially the Republic of Cabo Verde, is an island country and archipelagic state of West Africa in the central Atlantic Ocean, consisting of ten volcanic islands with a combined land area of about . These islands lie between west of Cap-Vert, the westernmost point of continental Africa. The List of islands of Cape Verde, Cape Verde islands form part of the Macaronesia ecoregion, along with the Azores, the Canary Islands, Madeira and the Savage Isles. The Cape Verde archipelago was uninhabited until the 15th century, when Portuguese Empire, Portuguese explorers colonized the islands, establishing one of the first Age of Discovery, European settlements in the tropics. Due to its strategic position, Cape Verde became a significant location in the Atlantic slave trade, transatlantic slave trade during the 16th and 17th centuries. The islands experienced economic growth during this period, driven by their role by the rapid emergence of merchants, priva ...

Diplodus Capensis
''Diplodus capensis'', the Cape white seabream or blacktail seabream, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Sparidae, which includes the seabreams and porgies. This fish is found around the coasts of Southern Africa. Taxonomy ''Diplodus capensis'' was first formally described as ''Sparus capensis'' in 1844 by the Scottish surgeon, explorer, ethnologist and zoologist Andrew Smith with its type locality given as the southeastern coast of South Africa. This taxon was previously considered to be a subspecies of the sargo (''D. sargus'') but is now considered to be a valid species. There are two disjunct populations of this species, one in southern Angola and Namibia, and the other in southern and eastern South Africa and Mozambique, these may be separate species, in addition, the taxonomic status of the southern Madagascan population also requires study.
