Percina Suttkusi
The Gulf logperch (''Percina suttkusi'') is a small species of freshwater ray-finned fish, a darter from the subfamily Etheostomatinae, part of the family Percidae, which also contains the perches, ruffes and pikeperches. It is found in North America where it occurs in the coastal river systems Of the Gulf of Mexico from Lake Pontchartrain drainages east through the Pearl and Pascagoula drainages to the Mobile basin. It prefers gravel runs and riffles of small to medium-sized rivers. This species was first formally described in 1992 by Bruce A. Thompson (1946-2007) with the type locality given as the Pearl River at river mile 46.8, below pools at Bluff Sill, about 6 kilometers south of Bogalusa, Louisiana, near Louisiana Highway 21 in Pearl River County, Mississippi. Etymology The specific name honors the American ichthyologist Royal Dallas Suttkus Royal may refer to: People * Royal (name), a list of people with either the surname or given name * A member of a royal fami ...

Bruce A
The English language name Bruce arrived in Scotland with the Normans, from the place name Brix, Manche in Normandy, France, meaning "the willowlands". Initially promulgated via the descendants of king Robert the Bruce (1274−1329), it has been a Scottish surname since medieval times; it is now a common given name. The variant ''Lebrix'' and ''Le Brix'' are French variations of the surname.

Species Description
A species description is a formal description of a newly discovered species, usually in the form of a scientific paper. Its purpose is to give a clear description of a new species of organism and explain how it differs from species that have been described previously or are related. In order for species to be validly described, they need to follow guidelines established over time. Zoological naming requires adherence to the ICZN code, plants, the ICN, viruses ICTV, and so on. The species description often contains photographs or other illustrations of type material along with a note on where they are deposited. The publication in which the species is described gives the new species a formal scientific name. Some 1.9 million species have been identified and described, out of some 8.7 million that may actually exist. Millions more have become extinct throughout the existence of life on Earth. Naming process A name of a new species becomes valid (available in zo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Percina
''Percina'' is a genus of small freshwater ray-finned fish, classified within the subfamily Etheostomatinae, part of the family Percidae, which also contains the perches, ruffes and pikeperches from North America. Like the similar fishes in the genus '' Etheostoma'', they are some species called "darters". More specifically, the genus as a whole is known as roughbelly darters, while certain species of ''Percina'' with a pattern of vertical bars on the flanks are called logperches.

Ichthyologist
Ichthyology is the branch of zoology devoted to the study of fish, including bony fish (Osteichthyes), cartilaginous fish (Chondrichthyes), and jawless fish (Agnatha). According to FishBase, 33,400 species of fish had been described as of October 2016, with approximately 250 new species described each year. Etymology The word is derived from the Greek words wikt:ἰχθύς, ἰχθύς, ''ikhthus'', meaning "fish"; and wikt:-λογία, λογία, ''logia'', meaning "to study". History The study of fish dates from the Upper Paleolithic, Upper Paleolithic Revolution (with the advent of "high culture"). The science of ichthyology was developed in several interconnecting epochs, each with various significant advancements. The study of fish receives its origins from humans' desire to feed, clothe, and equip themselves with useful implements. According to Michael Barton (professor), Michael Barton, a prominent ichthyologist and professor at Centre College, "the earliest ichthyolo ...

Specific Name (zoology)
In zoological nomenclature, the specific name (also specific epithet or species epithet) is the second part (the second name) within the scientific name of a species (a binomen). The first part of the name of a species is the name of the genus or the generic name. The rules and regulations governing the giving of a new species name are explained in the article species description. For example, the scientific name for humans is ''Homo sapiens'', which is the species name, consisting of two names: ''Homo'' is the " generic name" (the name of the genus) and ''sapiens'' is the "specific name". Historically, ''specific name'' referred to the combination of what are now called the generic and specific names. Carl Linnaeus, who formalized binomial nomenclature, made explicit distinctions between specific, generic, and trivial names. The generic name was that of the genus, the first in the binomial, the trivial name was the second name in the binomial, and the specific the proper term fo ...

Pearl River County, Mississippi
Pearl River County is a county located in the U.S. state of Mississippi. The population was 55,834 at the 2010 census. Its county seat is Poplarville. Pearl River County comprises the Picayune, MS Micropolitan Statistical Area, which is included in the New Orleans- Metairie- Hammond, LA- MS Combined Statistical Area.

Louisiana Highway 21
Louisiana Highway 21 (LA 21) is a state highway in Louisiana that serves St. Tammany and Washington Parishes. It spans and is signed north and south. Route description From the south, LA 21 begins at an intersection with LA 22 and LA 1077 in Madisonville, where LA 21 assumes the trajectory of LA 1077 and heads northeast. LA 1077 branches to the northwest before LA 21 intersects Interstate 12 (I-12). From south of I-12 and until joining U.S. Route 190 Business (US 190 Bus.) on 21st Avenue in Covington, LA 21 is multilaned, in places divided by a median or by a center turn lane, with some control of access. Through most of Covington, LA 21 is in a mostly two-lane undivided highway concurrent with US 190 Bus., which returns to US 190 on the east side of Covington—an area known as Claiborne Hill. After intersecting US 190 and before leaving Covington cosigned as Military Road, LA 21 absorbs LA 36 and continues northeastward, absorbing LA 59 and enterin ...

Type Locality (biology)
In biology, a type is a particular specimen (or in some cases a group of specimens) of an organism to which the scientific name of that organism is formally attached. In other words, a type is an example that serves to anchor or centralizes the defining features of that particular taxon. In older usage (pre-1900 in botany), a type was a taxon rather than a specimen. A taxon is a scientifically named grouping of organisms with other like organisms, a set that includes some organisms and excludes others, based on a detailed published description (for example a species description) and on the provision of type material, which is usually available to scientists for examination in a major museum research collection, or similar institution. Type specimen According to a precise set of rules laid down in the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) and the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN), the scientific name of every taxon is almos ...

Pascagoula River
The Pascagoula River is a river, about 80 miles (130 km) long, in southeastern Mississippi in the United States. The river drains an area of about 8,800 square miles (23,000 km²) and flows into Mississippi Sound of the Gulf of Mexico. The Pascagoula River Basin is managed by the Pat Harrison Waterway District. It is significant as the only unaffected (or nearly so) river with a discharge of over per year flowing from the United States into the Gulf of Mexico, and indeed the only one in the Cfa Köppen climate classification zone anywhere in the world, with the nearest approaches being the Juquiá and Itajaí in southeastern Brazil (The Yuan Jiang and Shinano Gawa are comparable to those Brazilian rivers but are only marginally in the Cfa zone). As a result, the Pascagoula has, in modern times, been the focus of a great deal of effort regarding its conservation to prevent the construction of dams on it. The water district manager has proposed the construction of a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
