Hemiramphus
''Hemiramphus'' is a genus of schooling marine fish commonly called halfbeaks, garfish, or ballyhoos, and are members of the family Hemiramphidae. They inhabit the surface of warm temperate and tropical sea, and feed on algae, plankton, and smaller fish. ''Hemiramphus'' species are edible but are more important as food fish for larger predatory species including dolphinfish and billfish. Species There are currently 11 recognized species in this genus: * '' Hemiramphus archipelagicus'' Collette & Parin, 1978 (Jumping halfbeak) * '' Hemiramphus balao'' Lesueur, 1821 (Balao halfbeak) * '' Hemiramphus bermudensis'' Collette, 1962 (Bermuda halfbeak) * '' Hemiramphus brasiliensis'' (Linnaeus, 1758) (Ballyhoo halfbeak) * '' Hemiramphus convexus'' M.

Halfbeak
Hemiramphidae is a family (biology), family of fishes that are commonly called halfbeaks, spipe fish or spipefish. They are a geographically widespread and numerically abundant family of epipelagic fish inhabiting warm waters around the world. The halfbeaks are named for their distinctive jaws, in which the lower jaws are significantly longer than the upper jaws. The similar viviparous halfbeaks (family Zenarchopteridae) have often been included in this family. Though not fishing, commercially important themselves, these forage fish support artisan fishing, artisanal fisheries and local markets worldwide. They are also fed upon by other commercially important predatory fishes, such as billfishes, mackerels, and sharks. Taxonomy In 1758, Carl Linnaeus was the first to scientific classification, scientifically describe a halfbeak, ''Esox brasiliensis'' (now ''Hemiramphus brasiliensis''). In 1775 Peter Forsskål described two more species as ''Esox'', ''Hemiramphus far, Esox far'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Description The Balao halfbeak is similar in appearance to its relative the ballyhoo (''H. brasiliensis''). The main difference between the two is that the distance from the nares to the base of the pectoral fin is ''greater'' than the length of the ballyhoo's pectoral fin, while that difference is ''less'' than ...

Lay was a naturalist on the English sailing ship HMS Blossom (1806), HMS ''Blossom'' under the command of Captain Frederick William Beechey from 1825 to 1828, where he collected specimens in the Pacific Ocean, Pacific including California, Alaska, Kamchatka, China, Mexico, South America, and Hawaii, and other South Pacific islands. He is credited as being one of the discoverers of the flower ''Layia gaillardioides'', as a result having the genus ''Layia'' named for him.

Max Carl Wilhelm Weber
Max Carl Wilhelm Weber van Bosse or Max Wilhelm Carl Weber (5 December 1852 – 7 February 1937) was a German- Dutch zoologist and biogeographer. Weber studied at the University of Bonn, then at the Humboldt University in Berlin with the zoologist Eduard Carl von Martens (1831–1904). He obtained his doctorate in 1877. Weber taught at the University of Utrecht then participated in an expedition to the Barents Sea. He became Professor of Zoology, Anatomy and Physiology at the University of Amsterdam in 1883. In the same year he received naturalised Dutch citizenship. His discoveries as leader of the Siboga Expedition led him to conclude that Wallace's Line was placed too far to the west. His studies, along with others, led to a series of alternative lines to be proposed to delimit two major biogeographic realms, the Australasian realm and the Indomalayan realm. These lines were based on the fauna and flora in general, including the mammalian fauna. Later, Pelseneer p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
