Cyclocheilichthys heteronema is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Cyclocheilichthys . They inhabit freshwater bodies of water in the Malay Peninsula, Borneo, and the Chao Phraya and Mekong basins.
Growing to the maximum length of 12 cm, it is among the smallest of its genus.
A plainly colored fish but some freshly caught specimens may show a slightly bluish sheen.
Its most unique characteristic is their impressively branched maxillary barbels, which they use to sift through the muddy or silty bottoms of rivers for food. [1]
Pollock or pollack is the common name used for either of the two species of North Atlantic marine fish in the genus Pollachius. Pollachius pollachius is referred to as pollock in North America, Ireland and the United Kingdom, while Pollachius virens is usually known as saithe or coley in Great Britain and Ireland. Other names for P. pollachius include the Atlantic pollock, European pollock, lieu jaune, and lythe; while P. virens is also known as Boston blue, silver bill, or saithe.
Cyprinus is the genus of typical carps in family Cyprinidae. Most species in the genus are of East Asia origin with only the common carp in Western Asia and Europe; this invasive species has also been introduced to many other regions around the world. Cyprinus are closely related to some more barb-like genera, such as Cyclocheilichthys and Barbonymus (tinfoils). The crucian carps (Carassius) of western Eurasia, which include the goldfish, are apparently not as closely related.
The tinfoil barb is a tropical Southeast Asian freshwater fish of the family Cyprinidae. This species was originally described as Barbus schwanenfeldii by Pieter Bleeker in 1853, and has also been placed in the genera Barbodes and Puntius. The specific epithet is frequently misspelled schwanefeldii.
Barbonymus is a ray-finned fish genus in the family Cyprinidae, containing some barb species. The genus was only established in 1999, with the tinfoil barb as type species; thus, these fish are sometimes collectively called tinfoils. The new genus was established in recognition of the fact that some large Asian "barbs", formerly rather indiscriminately lumped in Barbus, Barbodes and Puntius, form a distinct evolutionary lineage.
The kisslip himri or Kosswig's barb is a species of cyprinid fish of the genus Carasobarbus that is found in the Tigris-Euphrates river system in Iran and Turkey. It was originally described as Cyclocheilichthys kosswigi.
Auriglobus is a genus of freshwater pufferfishes native to Southeast Asia. They generally resemble Chonerhinos, but are considerably smaller, only reaching up to 13 cm (5.1 in) in length, and are more strongly associated with freshwater. The different Auriglobus species are very similar in appearance — greenish-golden or yellowish-golden above and pale below — but can be separated by morphometrics and meristics. Until 1999, the Auriglobus species were included in Chonerhinos.
Chonerhinos naritus, the bronze pufferfish or yellow pufferfish, is a species of pufferfish native to Southeast Asia, where mainly found in estuarine and coastal habitats. This species grows to a length of 28.5 centimetres (11.2 in) TL, but otherwise it generally resembles the smaller and more strictly freshwater Auriglobus pufferfish. This predatory species feeds on other fish, crustaceans and snails.
The beardless barb is a species of freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae. It is widespread in Southeast Asia. It grows to 25 cm (9.8 in) total length.
Cyclocheilichthys armatus is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Cyclocheilichthys.
Cyclocheilichthys enoplos is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Cyclocheilichthys from south-east Asia and the Malay Archipelago.
Cyclocheilichthys furcatus, the Mekong giant barb, is a species of cyprinid fish in the genus Cyclocheilichthys found in the Mekong.
Cyclocheilichthys janthochir is a species of freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae. It is known from the Kapuas River in West Kalimantan, Borneo (Indonesia).
Cyclocheilichthys lagleri is a species of cyprinid fish in the genus Cyclocheilichthys, it is found in the upper Chao Phraya and lower Mekong basins in south-east Asia.
Cyclocheilichthys schoppeae is a species of cyprinid fish in the genus Cyclocheilichthys from the north of Palawan in the Philippines.
Cyclocheilichthys sinensis is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Cyclocheilichthys.
Anematichthys armatus is a species of freshwater cyprinid native to Southeast Asia.
Anematichthys repasson is a species of freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae. It lives in Southeast Asia. Specifically, it occurs in the Mekong and Chao Phraya basins, Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Java, and Borneo. It grows to 28 cm (11 in) SL. It is a minor commercial fishery species that lives in rivers, canals, ponds and reservoirs.
Heteronema is a genus of phagotrophic, flagellated euglenoids that are most widely distributed in fresh water environments. This genus consists of two very distinguishable morphogroups that are phylogenetically closely related. These morphogroups are deciphered based on shape, locomotion and other ultrastructural traits. However, this genus does impose taxonomic problems due to the varying historical descriptions of Heteronema species and its similarity to the genus Paranema. The species H. exaratum, was the first heteronemid with a skidding motion to be sequenced, which led to the discovery that it was not closely related to H. scaphrum, contrary to what was previously assumed, but instead to a sister group of primary osmotrophs. This suggests that skidding heteronemids can also be distinguished phylogenetically, being more closely related to Anisoma, Dinema and Aphageae, than to other species within Heteronema.
Epacris heteronema is a species of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae and is endemic to Tasmania. It is an erect shrub with many branches, that typically grows to a height of 0.6–6 m. Its leaves are egg-shaped with an often heart-shaped base and a sharply-pointed tip. The flowers are arranged singly in a few leaf axils near the ends of the branches and are white and tube-shaped, with lobes about the same length as the petal tube.
