Trachelyopterus Porosus
''Trachelyopterus'' is a genus of driftwood catfishes. They have been found in South American environments, including Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Argentina, and several places in Brazil. They have a body pattern that follows bilateral symmetry and reproduce sexually. In terms of sensory systems, ''Trachelypterus have otoliths for hearing and lens eyes for seeing; they also have capabilities of electroreception. The size and appearance of different species within the ''Trachelyopterus'' genus varies, with sizes ranging from 5.5 inches in ''T. albicrux'' to 7.9 inches in T. insignis to 8.4 inches in ''T. lucenai''. These small catfishes are marketed towards aquariums. Feeding and diet The ''Trachelyopterus lucenai'' catfishes feed primarily on autochthonous materials in the ecosystem but do consume allochthonous particulate as well. A study by Becker found that the stomach contents of these catfishes varied widely among trophic levels; organisms ranging from fish to crabs to insects ...

Trachelyopterus Lucenai
''Trachelyopterus lucenai'' is a freshwater member of the family Auchenipteridae that is native to Brazil. It has only been found in the Jacuí River basin in Rio Grande do Sul. Like many Siluriformes it is demersal The demersal zone is the part of the sea or ocean (or deep lake) consisting of the part of the water column near to (and significantly affected by) the seabed and the benthos. The demersal zone is just above the benthic zone and forms a layer o ..., which is one of the reasons it has only been recently identified.

Franz Steindachner
Franz Steindachner (11 November 1834 in Vienna – 10 December 1919 in Vienna) was an Austrian zoologist, ichthyologist, and herpetologist. He published over 200 papers on fishes and over 50 papers on reptiles and amphibians. Steindachner described hundreds of new species of fish and dozens of new amphibians and reptiles. At least seven species of reptile have been named after him. Work and career Being interested in natural history, Steindachner took up the study of fossil fishes on the recommendation of his friend Eduard Suess (1831–1914). In 1860 he was appointed to the position of director of the fish collection at the Natural History Museum, Vienna, a position which had remained vacant since the death of Johann Jakob Heckel (1790–1857).

Carl Linnaeus
Carl Linnaeus (23 May 1707 – 10 January 1778), also known after ennoblement in 1761 as Carl von Linné,#Blunt, Blunt (2004), p. 171. was a Swedish biologist and physician who formalised binomial nomenclature, the modern system of naming organisms. He is known as the "father of modern Taxonomy (biology), taxonomy". Many of his writings were in Latin; his name is rendered in Latin as and, after his 1761 ennoblement, as . Linnaeus was the son of a curate and was born in Råshult, in the countryside of Småland, southern Sweden. He received most of his higher education at Uppsala University and began giving lectures in botany there in 1730. He lived abroad between 1735 and 1738, where he studied and also published the first edition of his ' in the Netherlands. He then returned to Sweden where he became professor of medicine and botany at Uppsala. In the 1740s, he was sent on several journeys through Sweden to find and classify plants and animals. In the 1750s and 1760s, he co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Trachelyopterus Fisheri
''Trachelyopterus fisheri'' is a freshwater demersal fish native to the Sucio River in Colombia. Synonyms are ''Parauchenipterus fisheri'' and ''Trachycorystes fisheri''. Common names are Driftwood catfish or fisher wood catfish. It is the most slender of all of the '' Trachelyopterus'' species. Another feature that helps identity it is the terminal mouth, other Trachelyopterus species have a slightly high-level mouth. The species is found in the tropical aquarium fish trade, though is not popular. It is listed in the "least concern" category of the IUCN Red List The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species, also known as the IUCN Red List or Red Data Book, founded in 1964, is an inventory of the global conservation status and extinction risk of biological ....
