Oryzias Loxolepis
''Oryzias'' is a genus of ricefishes native to fresh and brackish water in east and south Asia. Some species are widespread and the Japanese rice fish (''O. latipes'') is commonly used in science as a model organism, while others have very small ranges and are threatened. They are small, up to long, and most are relatively plain in colour. The genus name ''Oryzias'' is a reference to the scientific name for rice, ''Oryza''. They have an unusual reproductive behavior where the female facultatively (optionally) carries the eggs in a cluster at the pelvic or anal fins for a period after they have been fertilized. Species These are the currently recognized species in this genus: * ''Oryzias asinua'' Parenti, Hadiaty, Lumbantobing & Herder, 2013 * ''Oryzias bonneorum'' Parenti, 2008 * ''Oryzias carnaticus'' Jerdon, 1849 * ''Oryzias celebensis'' Weber, 1894 (Celebes medaka) * ''Oryzias curvinotus'' Nichols & Pope, 1927 * '' Oryzias dancena'' Hamilton, 1822 * '' Oryzias d ...

Japanese Rice Fish
The Japanese rice fish (''Oryzias latipes''), also known as the medaka, is a member of genus ''Oryzias'' (ricefish), the only genus in the subfamily Oryziinae. This small (up to about ) native of Japan is a denizen of rice paddies, marshes, ponds, slow-moving streams and tide pools. It is euryhaline, occurring in both brackish and freshwater. It became popular as an aquarium fish because of its hardiness and pleasant coloration: its coloration varies from creamy-white to yellowish in the wild to white, creamy-yellow, or orange in aquarium-bred individuals. Bright yellow, red or green transgenic populations, similar to GloFish, have also been developed, but are banned from sale in the EU. The medaka has been a popular pet since the 17th century in Japan. After fertilization, the female carries her eggs attached anterior to the anal fin for a period before depositing them on plants or similar things. Ecology Medaka live in small ponds, shallow rivers, and rice fields. They can ...

Xenopoecilus Sarasinorum (Wroclaw Zoo)-1
''Oryzias sarasinorum'', the Sarasins minnow or Sarasins buntingi, is a species of ricefish in the Adrianichthyidae. It is Endemism, endemic to Lake Lindu in Lore Lindu National Park, Sulawesi, Indonesia. This species was Species description, described as ''Haplochilus sarasinorum'' by Canna Maria Louise Popta, C.M.L. Popta in 1905 and she named it in honour of the Swiss people, Swiss naturalists and second cousins Paul Sarasin (1856-1929) and Fritz Sarasin (1859-1942), the latter being the collector of the Type (biology), type. Although the IUCN state that the population of this fish is stabled it is threatened by introduced non native fish, common carp, Mozambique tilapia and walking catfish; and a decline in water quality caused by increased agriculture in the lake's catchment which is causing a decline in water quality, it is therefore assessed as Critically Endangered.

Mowbray, Louis Leon Arthur Mowbray who first sighted this bird within a flock of other petrels in 1906 on Castle Island, Bermuda 45 years before it was officially rediscovered by Mowbray's son Louis. He also described the fish genus ''Bajacalifornia''. He also worked with a team of scientists from the American Museum of Natural Histo ...

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 ...
