Jean-Jacques Dussumier
Jean-Jacques Dussumier (1792–1883) was a French voyager and merchant from Bordeaux. He is known as a collector of zoological species from southern Asia and regions around the Indian Ocean between 1816 and 1840. These collections were later studied and classified by French zoologists such as Georges Cuvier, Achille Valenciennes, among others. Taxa named in his honor Dussumier's name was lent to numerous species, and an entire genus of herrings is called '' Dussumieria''. The following is a list of zoological species associated with Dussumier: *'' Acanthurus dussumieri'' – Dussumier's surgeonfish; aka Dussumieri tang *''Accipiter badius dussumieri'' – subspecies of Indian shikra *'' Ambassis dussumieri'' G. Cuvier, 1828; the Malabar glassy perchlet. *'' Anisakis dussumieri'' – a marine parasite *'' Arius dussumieri'' – blacktip sea catfish *''Aspidontus dussumieri'' (Valenciennes, 1836) – lance blenny *''Austrobatrachus dussumieri'' – flat toadfish *'' Boleophth ...

Arius (fish)
''Arius'' is a genus of catfishes (order Siluriformes) of the family Ariidae. The genus ''Arius'' is distributed in brackish and fresh waters of Eastern Africa and south to Southeast Asia. Defining the limits so that ''Arius'' can form a natural grouping has always been a problem. The genus was never properly defined, and many species previously classified in ''Arius'' are now in other genera. Recent authors have recognized this genus as non monophyetic, rejecting that the genus is a natural grouping. Two unnamed groups are distinguished by accessory tooth plates, which are either very elongated and bearing molar-like teeth, or are oval shaped or subtriangular and bearing acicular (needle-like) or conic teeth. ''A. jatius'' lacks these tooth plates, but has been included in this genus based on its adipose fin and lateral line. The recognition of ''Arenarius'' as a junior synonym of ''Arius'' is tentative and needs to be further investigated. ''Arius'' species have three pairs ...

Hermann Schlegel
Hermann Schlegel (10 June 1804 – 17 January 1884) was a German ornithologist, herpetologist and ichthyologist. Early life and education Schlegel was born at Altenburg, the son of a brassfounder. His father collected butterflies, which stimulated Schlegel's interest in natural history. The discovery, by chance, of a buzzard's nest led him to the study of birds, and a meeting with Christian Ludwig Brehm. Schlegel started to work for his father, but soon tired of it. He travelled to Vienna in 1824, where, at the university, he attended the lectures of Leopold Fitzinger and Johann Jacob Heckel. A letter of introduction from Brehm to gained him a position at the Naturhistorisches Museum. Ornithological career One year after his arrival, the director of this natural history museum, Carl Franz Anton Ritter von Schreibers, recommended him to Coenraad Jacob Temminck, director of the natural history museum of Leiden, who was seeking an assistant. At first Schlegel worked mainl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Round Island Boa
The Round Island boa (''Casarea dussumieri''), also known commonly as the Round Island keel-scaled boa and the Round Island ground boa, is a species of nonvenomous snake in the monotypic genus ''Casarea'' in the family Bolyeriidae. The species is endemic to Round Island, Mauritius. No subspecies are currently recognized. Etymology The specific name, ''dussumieri'', is in honor of Jean-Jacques Dussumier, a French merchant, ship owner, and collector of zoological specimens. Description Adults of ''C. dussumieri'' are slender and reach a maximum total length (including tail) of 150 cm (5 ft). The males have slimmer, more pointed heads and have shorter bodies than the females. The body is covered in small keeled scales that give the species one of its common names. The genus is unique among extant vertebrates as it has a split jaw (intramaxilliary joint that separates anterior and posterior bones), an adaptation that may be advantageous in catching its main prey of ...

Bream
Bream ( ) are species of freshwater and marine fish belonging to a variety of genera including '' Abramis'' (e.g., ''A. brama'', the common bream), '' Acanthopagrus'', '' Argyrops'', '' Blicca'', '' Brama'', '' Chilotilapia'', ''Etelis'', '' Lepomis'', '' Gymnocranius'', ''Lethrinus'', '' Nemipterus'', '' Pharyngochromis'', '' Rhabdosargus'', '' Scolopsis'', or ''Serranochromis''. Although species from all of these genera are called "bream", the term does not imply a degree of relatedness between them. Fish termed "bream" tend to be narrow, deep-bodied species. The name is a derivation of the Middle English word ''breme'', of Old French origin. The term sea bream is sometimes used for gilt-head bream (''Sparus aurata''), (''orata'' in Italy, ''dorada'' in Spain) or porgies (both family Sparidae) or pomfrets (family Family (from la, familia) is a group of people related either by consanguinity (by recognized birth) or affinity (by marriage or other relationship ...

Mudskipper
Mudskippers are any of the 23 extant species of amphibious fish from the subfamily Oxudercinae of the goby family Oxudercidae. They are known for their unusual body shapes, preferences for semiaquatic habitats, limited terrestrial locomotion and jumping, and the ability to survive prolonged periods of time both in and out of water. Mudskippers can grow up to long, and most are a brownish green colour that range anywhere from dark to light. During mating seasons, the males will also develop brightly coloured spots in order to attract females, which can be red, green or blue. Unlike other fish, the mudskipper's eyes protrude from the top of its flat head. Their most noticeable feature however is their side pectoral fins that are located more forward and under their elongated body. These fins are jointed and function similarly to limbs, which allow the mudskipper to crawl from place to place. Although having the typical body form of any other gobiid fish, these front fins allow t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
