Pieter Bleeker was a Dutch medical doctor, ichthyologist, and herpetologist. He was famous for the Atlas Ichthyologique des Indes Orientales Néêrlandaises, his monumental work on the fishes of East Asia published between 1862 and 1877.
The Adan River is a river in Washim District, Maharashtra, India and a principal tributary of the Painganga River.
Hemiculter is a genus of cyprinid fish, consisting of eight species native to fresh water of eastern Asia. The type species is the sharpbelly, Culter leucisculus. The name is derived from the Greek word hemis, meaning "half", and the Latin word culter, meaning "knife".
The sharpbelly or wild carp, Korean sharpbelly, or common sawbelly, is a tropical freshwater and brackish water fish belonging to the Cultrinae subfamily of the family Cyprinidae. It originates in large streams and reservoirs in China, Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong, Korea, and the Amur River basin. It has become established as an exotic species in several other countries, including Iran, Afghanistan, and the former Soviet Union, where it has displaced local species. It was originally described as Culter leucisculus by S. Basilewsky in 1855, and has also been referred to as Chanodichthys leucisculus and Hemiculter leucisculus warpachowskii in scientific literature.
Hemiculter elongatus is a tropical freshwater fish belonging to the Cultrinae subfamily of the family Cyprinidae. It is known only from the Ky Cùng River in Lang Son Province, northern Vietnam. It was originally described by Nguyen & Ngo in 2001.
Paracetopsis is a genus of whale catfishes found in tropical South America.
Paracetopsis bleekeri is a species of whale catfish endemic to Ecuador where it occurs in the Guayas River basin in the southwest. This species grows to a length of 24.2 cm.
Hemiculter krempfi is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Hemiculter. It is known only from the Cai River in Khanh Hoa Province and the Da Rang River in Phu Yen Province of central Vietnam. Here it is found mainly over sand substrates and is infrequently encountered in fish markets.
Hemiculter songhongensis is a species of Cyprinid fish in the genus Hemiculter.
Hemiculter tchangi is a species of cyprinid fish in the genus Hemiculter which has been recorded only from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in Sichuan.
Hemiculter varpachovskii is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Hemiculter from the Khalkh River and Lake Buir in Mongolia and Lake Hulun in China. It may also occur in the upper drainage of the Argun River in Russia and China.
The Ussuri sharpbelly is a temperate freshwater fish belonging to the subfamily Cultrinae of the family Cyprinidae. It originates in the Amur River basin in Asia. It was originally described as Culter lucidus by B. I. Dybowski in 1872, and has also been referred to as Hemiculter leucisculus lucidus in scientific literature.
Triplophysa bleekeri is a species of stone loach in the genus Triplophysa. It is endemic to China. It grows to 8.2 cm (3.2 in) TL. Having a wide distribution across the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, it lives in fast-flowing rivers from 200 to 3,000m in altitude. Being an unusual species inhabiting high-altitude regions, it is an excellent model to investigate the genetic mechanisms of adaptation to the local environment. With this in mind a chromosomal-scale genome assembly was sequenced and assembled with a genome size of ∼628 Mb. This data finding that the Triplophysa genus likely diverged when the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau elevated by >4,000 m roughly 40 million years ago.
Paraplesiops bleekeri, commonly known as the eastern blue devil, blue-tipped long-fin or Bleeker's blue devil fish, is a species of fish in the family Plesiopidae. This colourful, secretive fish is endemic to Australia, where it is a protected species.
Clupeichthys is a genus of sprats, herring-like fishes, that occur in rivers in Southeast Asia. There are currently four recognized species in the genus.
The shark minnow is a species of small cyprinid fish found in Southeast Asia from the Mae Klong River to the Mekong. It lives mainly in rivers, moving into flooded forests and fields during the floods and back into the river as the floods recede. It usually swims close to the surface in schools of many individuals. It is one of the most abundant of the different types of minnow-sized fishes known as (Pla sio) in Thailand.
Hucho bleekeri, or the Sichuan taimen, is a species of freshwater fish in the salmon family (Salmonidae), endemic to the Yangtze basin in China. Their typical habitat includes mountain streams and small rivers, typically being found in the catchment areas of the Dadu River in Sichuan and Qinghai Provinces, as well as the Hanjiang River. This particular fish population is largely threatened by habitat loss and illegal fishing, resulting in a "critically endangered" conservation status from the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
Chlorurus bleekeri, known commonly as Bleeker's parrotfish , is a species of marine fish in the family Scaridae.
Phalacronotus bleekeri, commonly known as Bleeker's Sheatfish, is a species of catfish of the genus Phalacronotus. This species grows to a length of 60 centimetres (24 in) SL.
Epinephelus bleekeri, the duskytail grouper, Bleeker's grouper or Bleeker's rockcod, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a grouper from the subfamily Epinephelinae which is part of the family Serranidae, which also includes the anthias and sea basses. It is found in the Indo-Pacific region where it is associated with shallow banks.
