Pareques
''Pareques'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the Family (biology), family Sciaenidae, the drums and croakers. These fishes are found in the western Atlantic Ocean and eastern Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy ''Pareques'' was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1876 by the American biologist Theodore Gill with ''Grammistes acuminatus'' as its only species. ''G. acuminatus'' was first formally Species description, described in 1801 by Marcus Elieser Bloch and Johann Gottlob Theaenus Schneider, although they did not give a Type locality (biology), type locality. The genus ''Pareques'' has been placed in the subfamily Sciaeninae by some authors, but the 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' does not recognise subfamilies within the Sciaenidae which it places in the Order (biology), order Acanthuriformes. Etymology ''Pareques'' means "near to ''Eques (fish), Eques''". Species The species of this genus are: * ''Pareques acuminatus'' (Marcus Elieser Bloch, Bloch & Joh ...

Pareques Acuminatus
''Pareques acuminatus'', commonly known as the high-hat, donkeyfish, cubbyu, Steindachner's ribbonfish, streaked ribbonfish, striped ribbonfish or striped drum, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the genus ''Pareques'' in the family Sciaenidae, the drums and croakers. This species is found in the western Atlantic Ocean. Taxonomy ''Pareques acuminatus'' was first formally described in 1801, based on Albertus Seba's 1759 ''Chaetodon, lineis fuscis, longitudinalibus, varius'', by the German naturalists Marcus Elieser Bloch and Johann Gottlob Theaenus Schneider without a type locality being given. In 1876, Theodore Gill classified ''Grammistes acuminatus'' in the new monospecific genus ''Pareques''; therefore, ''P. acuminatus'' is the type species of the genus. This species is a member of a species complex and was recognised as a separate species from the southern high-hat (''Pareques lineatus''). The genus ''Pareques'' is included in the subfamily Sciaeninae by so ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Blackbar Drum
The blackbar drum (''Pareques iwamotoi'') is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the genus ''Pareques'' in the family Sciaenidae, the drums and croakers. It is found in the western Atlantic Ocean. Taxonomy The blackbar drum was first formally described in 1988 by the American ichthyologists George C. Miller and Loren P. Woods with its type locality given as at a depth of at Oregon Station 698 () south of Pensacola, Florida, in the United States. The genus ''Pareques'' is included in the subfamily Sciaeninae by some authors, but the 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' does not recognise subfamilies within Sciaenidae, which it places in the order Acanthuriformes. Etymology The blackbar drum's specific name honors Tomio Iwamoto of the California Academy of Sciences, who Miller and Woods described as a "good friend" and who participated in the expedition on which the type specimen was collected. Description The blackbar drum has a deep, rhomboid body with an a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sciaenidae
Sciaenidae is a family (biology), family of ray-finned fishes belonging to the Order (biology), order Acanthuriformes. They are commonly called drums or croakers in reference to the repetitive throbbing or drumming sounds they make. The family consists of about 293 to 298 species in about 66 or 67 genera. Taxonomy Sciaenidae was first proposed as a family in 1829 by the French zoologist Georges Cuvier. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies the family in the suborder Sciaenoidei, alongside the rover family Emmelichthyidae, in the order Acanthuriformes. Other authorities classify the Sciaenidae and the Emmelichthyidae as ''incertae sedis'' within the series Eupercaria. The ''Catalog of Fishes'' retains this family within the Acanthuriformes but does not recognise the suborder Sciaenoidei. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'', ''FishBase, Fishbase'' and ''Catalog of Fishes'' do not recognise Subfamily, subfamilies within the Sciaenidae but many workers on these ...

Acanthuriformes
Acanthuriformes is a large, diverse order of mostly marine ray-finned fishes, part of the Percomorpha clade. In the past, members of this clade were placed in the suborders Acanthuroidea and Percoidea of the order Perciformes, but this treatment is now considered paraphyletic. This order contains many of the iconic tropical reef fish groups, such as surgeonfish, marine angelfish, butterflyfish, rabbitfish, grunts, and snappers. It also contains widespread, economically important food and sport fishes, such as drums, temperate basses, and porgies. The only pelagic member of the group is the louvar. Classification The following classification is based on Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes (2025): * Order Acanthuriformes ** Family Gerreidae Bleeker, 1859 (mojarras) ** Family Sillaginidae Richardson, 1846 (sillagos) ** Family Moronidae Jordan & Evermann, 1896 (temperate basses) ** Family Drepaneidae Gill, 1872 (sicklefishes) ** Family Ephippidae Bleeker, 1859 (spadefishes ...

Georges Cuvier
Jean Léopold Nicolas Frédéric, baron Cuvier (23 August 1769 – 13 May 1832), known as Georges Cuvier (; ), was a French natural history, naturalist and zoology, zoologist, sometimes referred to as the "founding father of paleontology". Cuvier was a major figure in natural sciences research in the early 19th century and was instrumental in establishing the fields of comparative anatomy and paleontology through his work in comparing living animals with fossils. Cuvier's work is considered the foundation of vertebrate paleontology, and he expanded Linnaean taxonomy by grouping classes into phylum, phyla and incorporating both fossils and living species into the classification. Cuvier is also known for establishing extinction as a fact—at the time, extinction was considered by many of Cuvier's contemporaries to be merely controversial speculation. In his ''Essay on the Theory of the Earth'' (1813) Cuvier proposed that now-extinct species had been wiped out by periodic catastr ...

Otis Barton
Frederick Otis Barton Jr. (June 5, 1899 – April 15, 1992) was an American deep-sea diver, inventor and actor. Early life and career Born in New York, the independently wealthy Barton designed the first bathysphere and made a dive with William Beebe off Bermuda in June 1930. They set the first record for deep-sea diving by descending . In 1934, they set another record at . Barton acted in the 1938 Hollywood movie, '' Titans of the Deep''. Later career In 1949, Barton set a new world record with a 4,500 foot (1,372 m) dive in the Pacific Ocean, using his benthoscope (from the Greek ''benthos'', meaning 'sea bottom', and ''scopein'', 'to view'), which was designed by Barton and Maurice Nelles. Barton wrote the book ''The World Beneath the Sea'', published in 1953. Like Beebe, Barton was also interested in exploring tropical rain forests, and spent considerable time in places like Gabon. In 1978, Barton successfully tested a "jungle spaceship" (actually an airship An ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
