Ompok Bimaculatus
''Ompok bimaculatus'', known as butter catfish, is a species from the Siluridae, sheatfish Family (biology), family native to Asian countries such as Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, but recently identified in Myanmar. It also indetified in Mekong Basin of Vietnam Known in Thailand as ''pla cha-on'' (ปลาชะโอน), it is one of the very similar catfish species known in the markets as ''pla nuea on'' (วงศ์ปลาเนื้ออ่อน). It is valued for its delicate flesh and is also used for making high-quality fish balls. ''O. bimaculatus'' reaches a maximum length of 45 cm. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has classified this species as near threatened due to limited data suggesting overfishing and possibly widespread population declines, noting uncertain identities of populations classified as ''O. bimaculatus'' and concluding that there is an "urgent need for taxonomy (biology), taxonomic, harvest and population ...

Siluridae
Siluridae is the nominate family (biology), family of catfishes in the order (biology), order Siluriformes. About 105 living species of silurids are placed in 12 or 14 genera. Although silurids occur across much of Europe and Asia, they are most diverse in Southeast Asia, beyond which their diversity decreases in temperate East Asia, the Indian subcontinent, Southwest Asia, and Europe. Silurids are apparently absent from much of central Asia. The family can be divided into two groups, a temperate North Eurasian clade and a more diverse subtropical/tropical South and Southeast Asian clade. Notable species *Wels catfish, ''Silurus glanis'' *Phantom catfish, ''Kryptopterus vitreolus'' *''Wallago attu'' *''Wallagonia leerii'' *Aristotle's catfish *Amur catfish *''Phalacronotus apogon'' *''Ompok'' Common features The family Siluridae is very diverse, with not very many distinctive features among all species, but some major ones include gigantism, and smaller versions of attributes ...

Albert Karl Ludwig Gotthilf Günther , also Albert Charles Lewis Gotthilf Günther (3October 18301February 1914), was a German-born British zoologist, ichthyologist, and herpetologist. Günther is ranked the second-most productive reptile taxonomist (after George Albert Boulenger) with more than 340 reptile species described. Early life and career Günther was born in Esslingen in Swabia ( Württemberg). His father was a ''Stiftungs-Commissar'' in Esslingen and his mother was Eleonora Nagel. He initially schooled at the Stuttgart Gymnasium. His family wished him to train for the ministry of the Lutheran Church for which he moved to the University of Tübingen. A brother shifted from theology to medicine, and he, too, turned to science and medicine at Tübingen in 1852. His first work was "''Ueber den Puppenzustand eines Distoma''" (On the pupal state of ''Distoma''). He graduated in medicine with an M.D. from Tübingen in 1858, the same year in which he published a handbook ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
