Copadichromis mbenjii is a species of haplochromine cichlid which is endemic to Lake Malawi. It is only found around Mbenje Island [2] from where it takes its specific name. [3]
The longfin catshark is a catshark of the family Scyliorhinidae found in the western Pacific from Japan to the Philippines, and the East and South China Seas, and the Kyūshū-Palau Ridge, at depths between 530 and 865 m. Its length is up to 48 cm.
The Panama ghost catshark is a lesser known catshark of the family Scyliorhinidae. This catshark is only found off Panama, between 9°N and 2°N. The reproduction of the Panama ghost shark is oviparous.
The longnose catshark is a catshark of the family Scyliorhinidae found in the eastern central Pacific from central and southern California and the Gulf of California, between latitudes 38° N and 23° N, at depths down to 1,890. Its length is up to 58 cm.
The African lanternshark is a shark of the family Etmopteridae found in the eastern Atlantic between latitudes 12°N and 18°S, at depths between 300 and 1,000 m. Its length is up to 30 cm.
Etmopterus burgessi, sometimes known as the broad-snout lanternshark, is a lanternshark of the family Etmopteridae in the order Squaliformes. It is found only around Taiwan.
Grammatotria lemairii is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Tanganyika in East Africa where it prefers areas with sandy substrates. This species can reach a length of 26 centimetres (10 in) TL. It is currently the only known member of its genus. The species is occasionally kept as an aquarium fish. The specific name honours Lieutenant Charles Lemaire (1863-1925) who was the leader of the Congo Free State Expedition, which collected specimens of fishes at Lake Tanganyika, including the type of G. lemairii.
The Jackson's barb is a species of cyprinid fish.
The Bavispe sucker, in Mexican matalote del Bavispe, is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Catostomidae. It is found only in Mexico.
Astatoreochromis vanderhorsti is a species of fish in the family Cichlidae. It is found in Burundi and Tanzania. Its natural habitat is rivers. Although often recognized as a valid species, it is likely a synonym of A. straeleni. The specific name honours the Dutch-South African zoologist Cornelius van der Horst (1889-1951).
The night aulonocara is a species of freshwater fish in the family Cichlidae. It is endemic to Lake Malawi and known from the Malawian part of the lake. It grows to 7.9 cm (3.1 in) SL. The specific name honours the cichlid aquarist Eberhard Hüser of Hildesheim in Germany.
Copadichromis geertsi is a species of haplochromine cichlid which is endemic to Lake Malawi.
Copadichromis ilesi is a species of haplochromine cichlid, which is endemic to Lake Malawi, where it is widespread, although not recorded from Mozambique. The specific name of this species honours the British fisheries scientist and ichthyologis Thomas Derrick Iles (1927-2017).
Copadichromis jacksoni is a species of haplochromine cichlid which is endemic to Lake Malawi. This species normally occurs in sheltered bays where it lives in schools in the open water and feeds on plankton. It breeds in clear water where there are steep, rocky shores and breeding seems to occur all year. The males defend territories over large boulders which project from the rocky substrate. The identity of the person honoured in the specific name was not specified by the author but is most likely to be the ichthyologist Peter B. N. Jackson (1924–2007) of the Joint Fisheries Research Organisation of Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland.
Copadichromis verduyni is a species of haplochromine cichlid which is endemic to Lake Malawi where it is found on the eastern shore and in the south eastern arm of the lake. It occurs in Malawi and Mozambique. This species inhabits the interface between sandy areas and rocky areas. Of all its congeners, this species defends the most cryptic spawning sites, these are found at depths of 9–15 metres (30–49 ft). The females and non-territorial males feed on plankton caught 1–3 metres (3.3–9.8 ft) above the lake bed and also on benthic invertebrates. Konings named this species after the Dutch cichlid dealer Dirk Verduyn (1942-2018).
Labidochromis freibergi is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Malawi where it is only known to occur around Likoma Island in areas with rocky substrates. This species grows to a length of 8 centimetres (3.1 in) TL. The specific name of this species honours the American fish importer Jacob Freiberg.
Otopharynx brooksi is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Malawi. This species can reach a length of 15 centimetres (5.9 in) TL. This species can also be found in the aquarium trade. The specific name of this fish honours John Langdon Brooks (1920-2000), an evolutionary biologist at Yale University.
Rhabdalestes leleupi is a species of fish in the family Alestidae. It is found in Kenya and Tanzania. Its natural habitats are rivers and freshwater lakes.
Hamilton's barb, also known as the plump barb, is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Enteromius.
Antennablennius simonyi, Simony's blenny, is a species of combtooth blenny found in the western Indian Ocean, from the Gulf of Aden to the Persian Gulf. The specific name honours the Austrian mathematician and entomologist Oskar Simony (1852-1915), who looked after the collection of fish specimen on an expedition to Socotra on which the type was collected.
Gerald Robert "Gerry" Allen is an American-born Australian ichthyologist. His career began in 1963, when he spent a semester at the University of Hawaii, where he also received a PhD in marine zoology in 1971. In 1972, Allen wrote his doctoral thesis on the systematics and biology of the anemone fish.
