Mackerel is a common name applied to a number of different species of pelagic fish, mostly from the family Scombridae. They are found in both temperate and tropical seas, mostly living along the coast or offshore in the oceanic environment.
Herring are forage fish, mostly belonging to the family Clupeidae.
"Sardine" and "pilchard" are common names for various small, oily forage fish in the herring family Clupeidae. The term "sardine" was first used in English during the early 15th century and may come from the Italian island of Sardinia, around which sardines were once abundant.
The Arrau turtle, also known as the South American river turtle, giant South American turtle, giant Amazon River turtle, Arrau sideneck turtle, Amazon River turtle or simply the Arrau, is the largest of the side-neck turtles (Pleurodira) and the largest freshwater turtle in Latin America. The species primarily feeds on plant material and typically nests in large groups on beaches. Due to hunting of adults, collecting of their eggs, pollution, habitat loss, and dams, the Arrau turtle is seriously threatened.
Chelodina, collectively known as snake-necked turtles, is a large and diverse genus of long-necked chelid turtles with a complicated nomenclatural history. Although in the past, Macrochelodina and Macrodiremys have been considered separate genera and prior to that all the same, they are now considered subgenera of the Chelodina, further Macrochelodina and Macrodiremys are now known to apply to the same species, hence Chelydera is used for the northern snake-necked turtles.
The humpback grouper, panther grouper, or barramundi cod is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a grouper from the subfamily Epinephelinae which is in the family Serranidae which also includes the anthias and sea basses. It occurs in the Western Pacific Ocean.
The Australian grey smooth-hound or grey gummy shark is a species of houndshark, belonging to the family Triakidae, native to the Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean waters surrounding Australia. The shark is widespread in deep coastal waters.
Andamia is a genus of combtooth blennies found in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
Alticus anjouanae is a species of combtooth blenny in the genus Alticus. Fourmanoir originally placed this species in the genus Andamia. It is a tropical blenny known from Comoros, Seychelles, and Réunion, in the western Indian Ocean. Males can reach a maximum total length of 7.6 centimetres (2.99 inches). Blennies in this species are oviparous and form distinct pairs when mating. They feed primarily off of benthic algae and weeds.
The Pacific leaping blenny, also known as the leaping rockskipper, is a species of combtooth blenny in the genus Alticus. The blennies are oviparous, and form distinct pairs when mating. Males can reach a maximum total length of 8 centimetres. These fish feed primarily on benthic algae, which they consume by scraping off rocky surfaces.
Andamia amphibius is a species of combtooth blenny found in the western central Pacific Ocean, it is found in intertidal zone on exposed rocky shores of the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu to a depth of 2 metres (6.6 ft). It can breathe air and will move between rock pools at low tide. It is herbivorous. It lays adhesive eggs which are attached to the rocks with a filament while the larvae are planktonic and are frequently encountered in shallow water.
Andamia heteroptera is a species of combtooth blenny found in the eastern Indian Ocean, around Christmas Island. This species reaches a maximum length of 6.4 centimetres (2.5 in) SL.
Andamia reyi, the suckerlip blenny, is a species of combtooth blenny found in coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. This species reaches a length of 10 centimetres (3.9 in) TL. The specific name honours the collector of the type, the French doctor Paul Rey.
Andamia tetradactylus is a species of combtooth blenny found in the western Pacific Ocean, around the Ryukyu Islands and Indonesia. the IUCN classify this species as Data Deficient as this species, Andamia heteroptera and A reyii are confused and their exact distributions are uncertain.
Chelodina (Chelydera) expansa, commonly known as the broad-shelled river turtle or the broad-shelled snake-necked turtle, is a pleurodiran freshwater turtle and is the largest of the long-necked turtles. The broad-shelled river turtle is one of the oldest-maturing and longest-living species of freshwater turtles in existence and occurs in wide sympatry with Emydura macquarii and Chelodina longicollis. C. expansa is listed as ‘vulnerable’ in South Australia and ‘threatened’ in Victoria.
Dacryodes expansa is a tree in the family Burseraceae. The specific epithet expansa is from the Latin meaning "spread out", referring to the structure of the petals.
Andamia cyclocheilus is a species of combtooth blenny which is known from a single specimen from Atjatuning, western New Guinea. The IUCN rate it as Data Deficient because its taxonomy is unclear. It is associated with reefs.
Andamia pacifica is a species of combtooth blenny which is found in the Kerama Islands near Okinawa, Japan and is probably distributed along the Ryukyu Island chain. It is oviparous, laying adhesive eggs on the substrate, forming distinct pairs.
