Sciades Hongkongensis
''Sciades'' is a genus of sea catfishes mostly found along the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea coasts of Central and South America. One species, ''S. dowii'', occurs on the Pacific side from Panama to Ecuador, another, ''S. paucus'', is a freshwater form found in Australia, while ''S. sona'' is a widespread species found along the Indian Ocean coasts of South Asia east into the Pacific to Polynesia. The genus '' Ariopsis'' has been merged with ''Sciades'' by some authorities. Currently, eight described species are in this genus: * ''Sciades couma'' (Valenciennes, 1840) (Couma sea-catfish) * ''Sciades dowii'' ( T. N. Gill, 1863) (brown sea-catfish) * ''Sciades herzbergii'' (Bloch, 1794) (Pemecou sea catfish) * ''Sciades parkeri'' ( Traill, 1832) (gillbacker sea catfish) * ''Sciades passany'' (Valenciennes, 1840) (Passany sea catfish) * ''Sciades paucus'' ( Kailola, 2000) * ''Sciades proops'' (Valenciennes, 1840) (crucifix sea catfish) * ''Sciades sona The Sona sea catfish, als ...

World Register Of Marine Species
The World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) is a taxonomic database that aims to provide an authoritative and comprehensive list of names of marine organisms. Content The content of the registry is edited and maintained by scientific specialists on each group of organism. These taxonomists control the quality of the information, which is gathered from the primary scientific literature as well as from some external regional and taxon-specific databases. WoRMS maintains valid names of all marine organisms, but also provides information on synonyms and invalid names. It is an ongoing task to maintain the registry, since new species are constantly being discovered and described by scientists; in addition, the nomenclature and taxonomy of existing species is often corrected or changed as new research is constantly being published. Subsets of WoRMS content are made available, and can have separate badging and their own home/launch pages, as "subregisters", such as the ''World List ...

Ariidae
The Ariidae or ariid catfish are a family of catfish that mainly live in marine waters with many freshwater and brackish water species. They are found worldwide in tropical to warm temperate zones. The family includes about 143 species. Taxonomy The relationships of this family are not yet clear. Two of the genera, ''Gogo'' and '' Ancharius'', have been moved to a separate family called Anchariidae. The Ariidae are divided into three subfamilies: '' Galeichthys'' is the only genus classified in the subfamily Galeichthyinae and similarly '' Bagre'' is the only genus in the subfamily Bagreinae, while the rest of the genera are classified in the subfamily Ariinae. Previously, the family Ariidae has been grouped in the superfamily Doradoidea, but then it was moved into Bagroidea (along with Austroglanididae, Claroteidae, Schilbeidae, Pangasiidae, Bagridae, Malapteruridae, and Pimelodidae. It has also been classified in a superfamily Arioidea containing Ariidae and Anchariidae ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
