Monomitopus Ainonaka
''Monomitopus'' is a genus of cusk-eels. They are oviparous. Life cycle Analysis of stable oxygen isotope composition of otoliths has shown that ''Monomitopus pallidus'' and ''Monomitopus kumae'' undergo an ontogenetic habitat shift, spending their early life pelagically in shallower waters, before descending to the deep-sea floor where they stay for rest of their lives. The larvae of these species have been reported to coil tightly and drift in the pelagic until settlement. A subset of species have been found to have a bilaterally paired hole or fenestra in the skull. Species There are currently 14 recognized species in this genus: * ''Monomitopus ainonaka'' Matthew G. Girard, M. Girard, Carter & Johnson, 2023 * ''Monomitopus agassizii'' (George Brown Goode, Goode & Tarleton Hoffman Bean, T. H. Bean, 1896) * ''Monomitopus conjugator'' (Alfred William Alcock, Alcock, 1896) * ''Monomitopus garmani'' (Hugh McCormick Smith, H. M. Smith & Lewis Radcliffe, Radcliffe, 1913) * ''Monomi ...

Alfred William Alcock
Alfred William Alcock (23 June 1859 in Bombay – 24 March 1933 in Belvedere, Kent) was a British physician, naturalist, and carcinologist. Early life and education Alcock was the son of a sea-captain, John Alcock in Bombay, India who retired to live in Blackheath. His mother was a daughter of Christopher Puddicombe, the only son of a Devon squire. Alcock studied at Mill Hill School, at Blackheath Proprietary School and at Westminster School. In 1876 his father faced financial losses and he was taken out of school and sent to India in the Wynaad district. Here he was taken care of by relatives engaged in coffee-planting. As a boy of 17 he spent time in the jungles of Malabar. Career Coffee-planting in Wynaad declined and Alcock obtained a post at a commission agent's office in Calcutta. This office closed soon, and he worked from 1878 to 1880 in Purulia as an agent recruiting unskilled labourers for the Assam tea gardens. While here an acquaintance, Duncan Cameron ...

Ophidiidae
The cusk-eel family, Ophidiidae, is a group of marine bony fishes in the Ophidiiformes order. The scientific name is from the Greek ''ophis'' meaning "snake", and refers to their eel-like appearance. True eels diverged from other ray-finned fish during the Jurassic, while cusk-eels are part of the Percomorpha clade, along with tuna, perch, seahorses, and others. The oldest fossil cusk-eel is '' Ampheristus'', a highly successful genus with numerous species that existed from the Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) to the early Oligocene. Distribution Cusk-eels live in temperate and tropical oceans throughout the world. They live close to the sea bottom, ranging from shallow water to the hadal zone. One species, '' Abyssobrotula galatheae'', was recorded at the bottom of the Puerto Rico Trench, making it the deepest recorded fish at . Ecology Cusk-eels are generally very solitary in nature, but some species have been seen to associate themselves with tube worm communities ...

Samuel Garman
Samuel Walton Garman (June 5, 1843 – September 30, 1927), or "Garmann" as he sometimes styled himself, was an American naturalist and zoologist. He became noted as an ichthyologist and herpetologist. Biography Garman was born in Indiana County, Pennsylvania, on 5 June 1843. In 1868 he joined an expedition to the American West with John Wesley Powell. He graduated from the Illinois State Normal University in 1870, and for the following year was principal of the Mississippi State Normal School. In 1871, he became professor of natural sciences in Ferry Hall Seminary, Lake Forest, Illinois, and a year later became a special pupil of Louis Agassiz. He was a friend and regular correspondent of the naturalist Edward Drinker Cope, and in 1872 accompanied him on a fossil hunting trip to Wyoming. In 1870 he became assistant director of herpetology and ichthyology at Harvard's Museum of Comparative Zoology. His work was mostly in the classification of fish, especially sharks, but ...
