Zalopyr is a subgenus of the genus ''Sebastes''. The etymology Etymology ( ) is the study of the origin and evolution of words—including their constituent units of sound and meaning—across time. In the 21st century a subfield within linguistics, etymology has become a more rigorously scientific study. ... derives from two Greek words: "zalos" meaning "surging" or "stormy," possibly referencing the turbulent habitat which it resides in. Pyr: meaning "fire," referring to the red color of '' S. aleutianus'', one of its two species. Its other species is '' S. melanostictus''. They are typically found below 300 meters and reaching depths of at least 500 meters. References {{Scorpaeniformes-stub Sebastes ...

Rougheye Rockfish
The rougheye rockfish (''Sebastes aleutianus'') is a rockfish of the genus ''Sebastes''. It is also known as the blackthroat rockfish, rougheye seaperch, blacktip seaperch, longlife seaperch or the blacktip rockfish and grows to a maximum of about in length, with the IGFA record weight being . Similar to many other members of its genus, it is extremely long-lived, and has been known to reach an age of 205 years. Taxonomy The rougheye rockfish was first formally described as ''Sebastodes aleutianus'' in 1898 by the American ichthyologists David Starr Jordan and Barton Warren Evermann with the type locality given as off Karluk on Kodiak Island in the Shelikof Straits in Alaska. This particular taxon was previously thought to be synonymous with the blackspotted rockfish ('' S. melanostictus''). However, the blackspotted rockfish is now recognized as a distinct and valid species. Both the blackspotted rockfish and the rougheye rockfish are currently classified within the subge ...

Sebastes
''Sebastes'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the subfamily Sebastinae part of the family Scorpaenidae, most of which have the common name of rockfish. A few are called ocean perch, sea perch or redfish instead. They are found in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Taxonomy ''Sebastes'' was first described as a genus in 1829 by the French zoologist Georges Cuvier, the Dutch ichthyologist Pieter Bleeker designated ''Perca norvegica'', which may have been originally described by the Norwegian zoologist Peter Ascanius in 1772, as the type species in 1876. The genus is the type genus of both the tribe Sebastini and the subfamily Sebastinae, although some authorities treat these as the subfamily Sebastinae and the family Sebastidae, separating the Sebastidae as a distinct family from the Scorpaenidae. but other authorities place it in the Perciformes in the suborder Scorpaenoidei. Some authorities subdivide this large genus into subgenera as follows: * ''Sebastes'' ...

Sebastes Melanostictus
''Sebastes melanostictus'', the blackspotted rockfish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the subfamily Sebastinae, the rockfishes, part of the family Scorpaenidae. It is found in the northern Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy Sebastes melanostictus was first formally described in 1934 as ''Sebastodes melanostictus'' by the Japanese ichthyologist Kiyomatsu Matsubara with the type locality given as Kazusa Province in Japan. This taxon has been considered to be a synonym of the rougheye rockfish (''S. aleutianus'') but is now accepted as a valid species and both it and the rougheye rockfish are classified within the subgenus ''Zalopyr''. The specific name, ''melanostictus'' , means "black spotted". Description ''Sebastes melanostictus'' is similar to the rougheye rockfish and both these species have eight pairs of spines on the head plus at least two infraorbital spines. The dorsal fin has 12-14 spines and 12-15 soft rays while the anal fin has 3 spines and 7 or 8 soft ray ...

Etymology
Etymology ( ) is the study of the origin and evolution of words—including their constituent units of sound and meaning—across time. In the 21st century a subfield within linguistics, etymology has become a more rigorously scientific study. Most directly tied to historical linguistics, philology, and semiotics, it additionally draws upon comparative semantics, morphology, pragmatics, and phonetics in order to attempt a comprehensive and chronological catalogue of all meanings and changes that a word (and its related parts) carries throughout its history. The origin of any particular word is also known as its ''etymology''. For languages with a long written history, etymologists make use of texts, particularly texts about the language itself, to gather knowledge about how words were used during earlier periods, how they developed in meaning and form, or when and how they entered the language. Etymologists also apply the methods of comparative linguistics to reconstruct in ...
