Ernogrammus
''Ernogrammus'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Stichaeidae, the pricklebacks or shannies.} These fishes are found in the North Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy ''Ernogrammus'' was first proposed as a genus in 1898 by the American ichthyologists David Starr Jordan and Barton Warren Evermann with ''Stichaeus enneagrammus'', which had been described by Rudolf Kner in 1868 from Decastris Bay on the Tatar Strait in the northern Sea of Japan, as the only species in this monotypic genus. ''S. enneagrammus'' is now considered to be a junior synonym of Schlegel's ''Stichaeus hexagrammus''. This genus is classified within the subfamily Stichaeinae of the Zoarcoid family Stichaeidae. Species ''Ernogrammus'' contains 3 species: * ''Ernogrammus hexagrammus'' ( Schlegel, 1845) (Six-lined prickleback) * ''Ernogrammus walkeri'' Follett & Powell, 1988 (Masked prickleback) * ''Ernogrammus zhirmunskii'' Markevich & Kharin, 2011 (Seven-lined prickleback) Etymology ''E ...

Stichaeinae
Stichaeinae is a subfamily of marine ray-finned fishes, Taxonomy (biology), classified within the family Stichaeidae, the pricklebacks or shannies. These fishes are found in the North Pacific, Arctic and North Atlantic Oceans. Taxonomy Stichaeinae contains the type taxon of the family Stichaeidae, the Arctic shanny (''Stichaeus punctatus''), and the name is based on Theodore Gill’s 1864 name for the family. The name of the subfamily comes from that of its type genus ''Stichaeus'', which means “set in a row”, which may be an allusion to the row of black spots on the dorsal fin, dorsal fins of the species in that genus. Genera Stichaeinae contains the following genera: ''Dinogunellus'' Solomon Herzenstein, Herzenstein, 1890 is treated as a vaild genus by ''Catalog of Fishes'' but ''Fishbase'' does not and treats the 3 species classified within it as belonging to the genus ''Stichaeus''. Characteristics Stichaeinae pricklebacks are less elongated in shape than most of the o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Eumesogrammus
The fourline snakeblenny (''Eumesogrammus praecisus'') is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Stichaeidae, the pricklebacks and shannies. It is the only species in the monotypic genus ''Eumesogrammus''. This fish is found in the Western North Atlantic, Arctic and North Pacific Oceans. Taxonomy The fourline snakeblenny was first formally described as ''Chirus praecisus'' by the Danish zoologist Henrik Nikolai Krøyer with its type locality given as Greenland. In 1864 Theodore Gill proposed the new monotypic genus ''Eumesogrammus '' for this species. In 1904 the Soviet zoologist Peter Schmidt described a new species ''Ernogrammus storoshi'' from the Sea of Okhotsk in the western Pacific and, in 1935, he and A.P. Andriyashev synonymised ''E. storoshi'' with ''E. praecisus''. This genus belongs to the subfamily Stichaeinae in the Zoarcoid family Stichaeidae. Etymology ''Eumesogrammus'', the genus name, is a combination of the Greek ''eu'', meaning "well", ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Stichaeidae
Stichaeidae, the pricklebacks or shannies, are a family of marine ray-finned fishes in the suborder Zoarcoidei of the order Scorpaeniformes. Most species are found in the North Pacific Ocean with a few in the North Atlantic Ocean. Taxonomy Stichaeidae was first proposed as a family in 1864 by the American zoologist Theodore Gill, although he called it the Stichaeoidae. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies this family within the suborder Zoarcoidei, within the order Scorpaeniformes. Other authorities classify this family in the infraorder Zoarcales wihin the suborder Cottoidei of the Perciformes because removing the Scorpaeniformes from the Perciformes renders that taxon non monophyletic. ''Fishes of the World'' mentions six subfamilies but does not assign genera to the subfamilies while other authorities split the Cebidichthyidae, Opisthocentridae, Lumpenidae and Neozoarcidae from the Sitchaeidae as valid families. The genera which are classified within the fami ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Vladimir Kharin (zoologist)
Vladimir Yemelyanovich Kharin (1957–2013) was a Russian zoologist, ichthyologist, herpetologist, and a specialist in sea snakes. Life and career Kharin was born November 3, 1957, in Vladivostok. In 1981 he graduated State Far Eastern University. From 1980 to 1984 he worked at the . In 1984, he was arrested for political reasons and subjected to compulsory psychiatric treatment. From 2003 until the end of his life, he was an employee of the Institute of Marine Biology, Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He received his Candidate of Sciences degree in biology from the Academy in 2006. His thesis was titled "Таксономия морских змей (Hydrophiidae ''sensu lato'') мирового океана".

David Starr Jordan
David Starr Jordan (January 19, 1851 – September 19, 1931) was the founding president of Stanford University, serving from 1891 to 1913. He was an ichthyologist during his research career. Prior to serving as president of Stanford University, he had served as president of Indiana University from 1884 to 1891. Starr was also a strong supporter of eugenics, and his published views expressed a fear of "race-degeneration" and asserted that cattle and human beings are "governed by the same laws of selection". He was an antimilitarist since he believed that war killed off the best members of the gene pool, and he initially opposed American involvement in World War I. Early life and career Jordan was born in Gainesville, New York, and grew up on a farm in upstate New York. His parents made the unorthodox decision to educate him at a local girls' high school. His middle name, Starr, does not appear in early census records, and was apparently self-selected; he had begun using ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Total Length
Fish measurement is the measuring of individual fish and various parts of their anatomies. These data are used in many areas of ichthyology, including taxonomy and fisheries biology. Overall length * Standard length (SL) is the length of a fish measured from the tip of the snout to the posterior end of the last vertebra or to the posterior end of the midlateral portion of the hypural plate. Simply put, this measurement excludes the length of the caudal (tail) fin. * Total length (TL) is the length of a fish measured from the tip of the snout to the tip of the longer lobe of the caudal fin, usually measured with the lobes compressed along the midline. It is a straight-line measure, not measured over the curve of the body. Standard length measurements are used with Teleostei (most bony fish), while total length measurements are used with Myxini ( hagfish), Petromyzontiformes ( lampreys), and (usually) Elasmobranchii (sharks and rays), as well as some other fishes.

David C
David (; , "beloved one") (traditional spelling), , ''Dāwūd''; grc-koi, Δαυΐδ, Dauíd; la, Davidus, David; gez , ዳዊት, ''Dawit''; xcl, Դաւիթ, ''Dawitʿ''; cu, Давíдъ, ''Davidŭ''; possibly meaning "beloved one". was, according to the Hebrew Bible, the third king of the United Kingdom of Israel. In the Books of Samuel, he is described as a young shepherd and harpist who gains fame by slaying Goliath, a champion of the Philistines, in southern Canaan. David becomes a favourite of Saul, the first king of Israel; he also forges a notably close friendship with Jonathan, a son of Saul. However, under the paranoia that David is seeking to usurp the throne, Saul attempts to kill David, forcing the latter to go into hiding and effectively operate as a fugitive for several years. After Saul and Jonathan are both killed in battle against the Philistines, a 30-year-old David is anointed king over all of Israel and Judah. Following his rise to power, D ...
