Seabass (band)
Sea bass is a common name for a variety of species of marine fish. Many fish species of various families have been called sea bass. In Ireland and the United Kingdom, the fish sold and consumed as sea bass is exclusively the European bass, ''Dicentrarchus labrax''. Sometimes referred to as sea bass include the following: Family Serranidae Family Serranidae * Genus '' Paralabrax'' ** Barred sand bass (''Paralabrax nebulifer'') lives mainly off the coast of California. * Genus '' Centropristis'' ** Black sea bass (''Centropristis striata'') is found on the East Coast of the United States. * Genus '' Caesioperca'' ** Butterfly perch (''Caesioperca Lepidoptera'') is found in the eastern Indian Ocean and the southwest Pacific Ocean, including southern Australia and New Zealand. * Genus '' Caprodon'' ** Pink maomao (''Caprodon longimanus'') is found in the eastern Indian Ocean and the southern Pacific Ocean, including Australia and New Zealand. * Genus ''Epinephelus'' ** Potato cod ...

Common Name
In biology, a common name of a taxon or organism (also known as a vernacular name, English name, colloquial name, country name, popular name, or farmer's name) is a name that is based on the normal language of everyday life; and is often contrasted with the scientific name for the same organism, which is often based in Latin. A common name is sometimes frequently used, but that is not always the case. In chemistry, IUPAC defines a common name as one that, although it unambiguously defines a chemical, does not follow the current systematic naming convention, such as acetone, systematically 2-propanone, while a vernacular name describes one used in a lab, trade or industry that does not unambiguously describe a single chemical, such as copper sulfate, which may refer to either copper(I) sulfate or copper(II) sulfate. Sometimes common names are created by authorities on one particular subject, in an attempt to make it possible for members of the general public (including s ...

Hypopterus Macropterus
The spikey bass (''Hypopterus macropterus'') is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Latidae, the lates perches. It is endemic to coastal waters off Western Australia, where it inhabits areas with soft substrates. It is the only species in the monotypic genus ''Hypopterus''. Description The spikey bass is an olive brown bass-like fish fading pale silvery below, each scale is marked with a dark oval spot and there are eight indistinct vertical bands along the head and body. This species has a deeper body than other species in the Latidae. It grows to a standard length of . Distribution and habitat The spikey bass is endemic to the eastern Indian Ocean off the coast of northwestern Australia. It prefers demersal and temperate waters. Etymology and taxonomy The spikey bass’s generic name ''Hypopterus'' derives from the Greek ''hypo'' (under) and ''pteron'' (wing or fin).This species was first formally described as ''Psammoperca macroptera'' in 1859 by the German born B ...

Latidae
The Latidae, known as the lates perches, are a family of perch-like fish found in Africa, Asia, and the Indian and western Pacific Oceans. Including about 13 species, the family, previously classified subfamily Latinae in family Centropomidae, was raised to family status in 2004 after a cladistic analysis showed the original Centropomidae were paraphyletic. The Latidae are characterised by having dorsal fins that are incompletely separated, or if they are separated, a few isolated spines will be found between the anterior and posterior parts of the fin. Their caudal fin is normally rounded. All species have a vertebral column made up of 25 vertebrae. Many species in this family are important food fishes, and some have been introduced outside their native ranges to provide fishing stocks. The freshwater Nile perch, a fierce predator, has become infamous, as its introduction into Lake Victoria in the 1950s has wrought devastation on the native fishes of the lake, causing the ext ...

Painted Comber
The painted comber (''Serranus scriba'') is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a sea bass from the subfamily Serraninae, classified as part of the family Serranidae which includes the groupers and anthias. It is found in the eastern Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Black Sea. Confusingly, a synonym of this species is ''Perca marina'', but that name (as ''Sebastes marinus'') has incorrectly been used for a separate species, the rose fish. Description The painted comber has a laterally compressed, elongate body with a pointed snout. The dorsal fin has 10 spines and 4–16 soft rays and the anal fin has 3 spines and 7–8 soft rays. The caudal fin is truncate. It has a very large mouth for its size, which has many sharp teeth, and is protractile. The overall colour may be grey, purplish or reddish with 5–7 dark brown bars on the flanks. The head is marked with many narrow, wavy blue lines and red blotches. The dorsal, anal and caudal fins are marked with red dots. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Serranus Cabrilla
The comber (; ''Serranus cabrilla'') is a species of marine ray-finned fish from the family Serranidae, the sea basses. It is widely distributed in the eastern North and South Atlantic Oceans and into the southwestern Indian Ocean. It is caught for food and fishmeal in some parts of its range. Description The comber has a relatively stout body with a large head and a prominent jaw. It has two dorsal fins, the first has 11 thin spines and is joined to the second, which has 13–15 branched rays. The anal fin has 3 spines and 7–8 soft rays.

Serranus
''Serranus'' is a genus of fish in the family (biology), family Serranidae. It is one of five genera known commonly as the "Atlantic dwarf sea basses". These fish are hermaphrodites, each individual possessing functional male and female reproductive tissues. When a pair Spawn (biology), spawns, one fish acts as a male and the other acts as a female.García-Díaz, M., González, J.A., Lorente, M.J. & Tuset, V.M.

Toadstool Groper
A mushroom or toadstool is the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus, typically produced above ground on soil or another food source. ''Toadstool'' generally refers to a poisonous mushroom. The standard for the name "mushroom" is the cultivated white button mushroom, ''Agaricus bisporus''; hence, the word "mushroom" is most often applied to those fungi (Basidiomycota, Agaricomycetes) that have a stem ( stipe), a cap ( pileus), and gills (lamellae, sing. lamella) on the underside of the cap. "Mushroom" also describes a variety of other gilled fungi, with or without stems; therefore the term is used to describe the fleshy fruiting bodies of some Ascomycota. The gills produce microscopic spores which help the fungus spread across the ground or its occupant surface. Forms deviating from the standard morphology usually have more specific names, such as "bolete", "truffle", "puffball", "stinkhorn", and "morel", and gilled mushrooms themselves are often called "agarics" in ...

Redbanded Perch
The redbanded perch (''Hypoplectrodes huntii'') is an anthia of the genus '' Hypoplectrodes'', found in south eastern Australia, and the North Island and northern South Island of New Zealand, at depths between 5 and 100 m, its length is between 10 and 20 cm. The diet of the redbanded perch depends on the local and seasonal variations in the environment. This may effect its foraging behavior, however they have been observed to prey on small fish and crabs. This species was first formally described as ''Plectropoma huntii'' in 1875 with the type locality given as the Chatham Islands. The specific name honours F. Hunt who presented the type specimen to James Hector Sir James Hector (16 March 1834 – 6 November 1907) was a Scottish-New Zealand geologist, naturalist, and surgeon who accompanied the Palliser Expedition as a surgeon and geologist. He went on to have a lengthy career as a government employed .... References * * * Tony Ayling & Geoffrey Cox, ''Collins Gu ...
