Notoliparis
''Notoliparis'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Liparidae, the snailfishes. These fishes are found in deep Oceanic trenches in the South Atlantic South Pacific and Southern Oceans. Taxonomy ''Notoliparis'' was first proposed as a genus in 1975 by the Soviet ichthyologist Anatoly Petrovich Andriyashev when he described ''Notoliparis kurchatovi'' from off the South Orkney Islands which he also designated as the type species of the new genus. The genus is classified within the family Liparidae. Etymology ''Notoliparis'' prefixes the type genus of the family Liparidae with ''notos'' which means "south", referring to the distribution of the species belonging to this genus in the Southern Hemisphere. Species There are currently 5 recognized species in this genus: * '' Notoliparis antonbruuni'' Stein, 2005 (Anton Bruun's snailfish) * '' Notoliparis kermadecensis'' ( J. G. Nielsen, 1964) (Kermadec snailfish) * '' Notoliparis kurchatovi'' Andriashev, 1975 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Liparidae
The snailfishes or sea snails (not to be confused with invertebrate sea snails), are a family of marine ray-finned fishes. These fishes make up the Liparidae, a family classified within the order Scorpaeniformes. Widely distributed from the Arctic to Antarctic Oceans, including the oceans in between, the snailfish family contains more than 30 genera and about 410 described species, but there are also many undescribed species. Snailfish are found at depths ranging from shallow coastal waters to more than , including in seven ocean trenches. Taxonomy The snailfish family, Liparidae, was first proposed by the American biologist Theodore Gill in 1861. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies this family within superfamily Cyclopteroidea, part of the suborder Cottoidei of the order Scorpaeniformes. Other authorities do not recognise this superfamily and classify the two families within it, Cyclopteridae and Liparidae, within the infraorder Cottales alongside the sc ...

Notoliparis Kermadecensis
''Notoliparis kermadecensis'' (from Greek: ''noton'', back, and ''liparos'', fat) is a species of snailfish (Liparidae) that lives in the deep sea. Endemic to the Kermadec Trench in the Southwest Pacific, it is hadobenthic with a depth range between , and can reach a standard length of up to . It is among the deepest living fish; in the Southern Hemisphere only ''Echiodon neotes'' has been recorded deeper, at . A few species from the Northern Hemisphere have been recorded at similar or deeper depths than ''N. kermadecensis'', including the snailfish ''Pseudoliparis amblystomopsis'' from the Kuril–Kamchatka and Japan Trenches. These two species apparently share a common ancestor and occupy similar hadal depth ranges, yet they can only survive at immense pressure and are geographically isolated, and their evolutionary history remains enigmatic. There are indications that the larvae A larva (; : larvae ) is a distinct juvenile form many animals undergo before metamorphosis ...

Kermadec Trench
The Kermadec Trench is a linear ocean trench in the south Pacific Ocean. It stretches about from the Louisville Seamount Chain in the north (26°S) to the Hikurangi Plateau in the south (37°S), north-east of New Zealand's North Island. Together with the Tonga Trench to the north, it forms the -long, near-linear Kermadec-Tonga subduction system, which began to evolve in the Eocene when the Pacific plate started to subduct beneath the Australian plate. Convergence rates along this subduction system are among the fastest on Earth, /yr in the north and /yr in the south. Geology The Kermadec Trench is one of Earth's deepest oceanic trenches, reaching a depth of . Formed by the subduction of the Pacific plate under the Indo-Australian plate, it runs parallel with and to the east of the Kermadec Ridge and island arc. The Tonga Trench marks the continuation of subduction to the north. The Kermadec Trench has a southern continuation in the turbidite-filled Hikurangi Trough, but ...

Scotia Sea
The Scotia Sea is a sea located at the northern edge of the Southern Ocean at its boundary with the South Atlantic Ocean. It is bounded on the west by the Drake Passage and on the north, east, and south by the Scotia Arc, an undersea ridge and island arc system supporting various islands. The sea sits atop the Scotia Plate. It is named after the expedition ship Scotia (barque), ''Scotia''. Many icebergs melt there. Location and description The Scotia Sea is the area of water between the Drake Passage, Tierra del Fuego, South Georgia Island, South Georgia, the South Sandwich Islands, the South Orkney Islands, and the Antarctic Peninsula. These island groups all sit atop the Scotia Arc, which frames the sea on the north, east, and south. The Scotia Sea covers an area around . About half of the sea stands above the continental shelf. History The sea was named about 1932 after the ''Scotia (barque), Scotia'', the expedition ship used in these waters by the Scottish National Antarcti ...

South Orkney Trench
South is one of the cardinal directions or compass points. The direction is the opposite of north and is perpendicular to both west and east. Etymology The word ''south'' comes from Old English ''sūþ'', from earlier Proto-Germanic ''*sunþaz'' ("south"), possibly related to the same Proto-Indo-European root that the word ''sun'' derived from. Some languages describe south in the same way, from the fact that it is the direction of the sun at noon (in the Northern Hemisphere), like Latin meridies 'noon, south' (from medius 'middle' + dies 'day', ), while others describe south as the right-hand side of the rising sun, like Biblical Hebrew תֵּימָן teiman 'south' from יָמִין yamin 'right', Aramaic תַּימנַא taymna from יָמִין yamin 'right' and Syriac ܬܰܝܡܢܳܐ taymna from ܝܰܡܝܺܢܳܐ yamina (hence the name of Yemen, the land to the south/right of the Levant). South is sometimes abbreviated as S. Navigation By convention, the ''bottom or down-f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
