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. [1] It is oviparous, laying adhesive eggs on the substrate, forming distinct pairs. [3]
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.
Anguilla bicolor is a species of eel in the genus Anguilla of the family Anguillidae, consisting of two subspecies.
Magnapinna pacifica is a species of bigfin squid known only from three immature specimens; two caught at a depth of less than 300 m and one from a fish stomach. M. pacifica is the type species of the genus Magnapinna. It is characterised primarily by its proximal tentacles, which are wider than adjacent arms and bear numerous suckers.
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.
Norfolkia squamiceps, known commonly as the Scalyhead triplefin, is a species of triplefin blenny in the genus Norfolkia. It was described by Allan Riverstone McCulloch and Edgar Ravenswood Waite in 1916. Under the synonym Norfolkia lairdi it was the type species of Fowler's new genus. This species has been recorded from off Queensland, Norfolk Island, Lord Howe Island, New Caledonia and the Loyalty Islands. The adults occur in tidal pools among areas of coral reef.
Trinorfolkia clarkei, known commonly as the Clarke's triplefin or Clarke's threefin, is a species of triplefin blenny in the genus Trinorfolkia. It was described by Alexander Morton in 1888 from specimens collected from Clarke Island in the Bass Strait. This species occurs I southern and western Australia from Camden Haven in New South Wales to Rottnest Island in Western Australia and around Tasmania. It occurs on coastal reefs and in estuaries frequently being observed around the pylons supporting structures such as jetties.
Alcichthys elongatus is a fish in the family Cottidae (sculpins), and the only valid member of its genus. It was described by Franz Steindachner in 1881. It is a marine, boreal fish which is known from the northwestern Pacific Ocean, including the Sea of Okhotsk and Japan. It dwells at a depth range of 15 to 269 m, and inhabits rocky reefs. Males can reach a maximum total length of 44 cm (17 in), but more commonly reach a TL of 31.5 cm (12.4 in). The maximum recorded weight is 1 kg (2.2 lb).
Grimpoteuthis pacifica is an octopus known from one badly damaged specimen. It's not completely described, and it's not easily separated from some other species of octopus. Nothing clearly differentiates G. pacifica from Grimpoteuthis hippocrepium except for its type locality.
Rhinochimaera pacifica, commonly known as the Pacific spookfish, knifenose chimaera, narrownose chimaera, Pacific long-nosed chimaera, or Pinocchiofish, is a species of chimaera in the family Rhinochimaeridae. It lives in various parts of the Pacific Ocean and can be characterized by its long snout.
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 expansa is a species of combtooth blenny which is known from a few specimens from the eastern Indian Ocean, with the type being collected in the Andaman Islands. The IUCN rate it as Data Deficient because its taxonomy is unclear. It forms pairs and lays adhesive eggs on the substrates.
