Hemimyzon yaotanensis is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Hemimyzon .
The Hemimyzon yaotanensis is known to be found in a freshwater environment within a demersal range. [1] They are native to a temperate climate. The average length of a Hemimyzon yaotanensis as an unsexed male is about 8.4 centimeters or about 3.3 inches. [2] This species can be found in the areas of Asia, Jinsha-jiang basin in Sichuan, and China. [3]
FishBase is a global species database of fish species. It is the largest and most extensively accessed online database on adult finfish on the web. Over time it has "evolved into a dynamic and versatile ecological tool" that is widely cited in scholarly publications.
The Khone Falls and Pha Pheng Falls together form a waterfall located in Champasak Province on the Mekong River in southern Laos, near the border with Cambodia. At 35,376 feet (10,783 m) wide, it is the widest waterfall in the world.
The term billfish refers to a group of predatory fish characterised by prominent bills, or rostra, and by their large size; some are longer than 4 m (13 ft). Billfish include sailfish and marlin, which make up the family Istiophoridae, and swordfish, sole member of the family Xiphiidae. They are apex predators which feed on a wide variety of smaller fish, crustaceans, and cephalopods. These two families are sometimes classified as belonging to the order Istiophoriformes, a group with origins in the Late Cretaceous around 71 million years ago with the two families diverging from one and another in the Late Miocene around 15 million years ago. However, they are also classified as being closely related to the mackerels and tuna within the suborder Scombroidei of the order Perciformes. However, the 5th edition of the Fishes of the World does recognise the Istiophoriformes as a valid order, albeit including the Sphyraenidae, the barracudas.
Hemimyzon taitungensis is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Balitoridae that is endemic to Taiwan. It is a small freshwater fish currently known only from running waters of the Central Mountain Range of Taiwan at high and middle elevations. In contrast to H. formosanus, it appears to be a well-defined species with no signs of strong genetic structuring suggestive of cryptic species.
Hemimyzon is a genus of ray-finned fish in the family Balitoridae.
Several species of fish are claimed to produce hallucinogenic effects when consumed. For example, Sarpa salpa, a species of sea bream, is commonly claimed to be hallucinogenic. These widely distributed coastal fish are normally found in the Mediterranean and around Spain, and along the west and south coasts of Africa. Occasionally they are found in British waters. They may induce hallucinogenic effects similar to LSD if eaten. However, based on the reports of exposure they are more likely to resemble hallucinogenic effects of deliriants than the effects of serotonergic psychedelics such as LSD. In 2006, two men who apparently ate the fish experienced hallucinations lasting for several days. The likelihood of hallucinations depends on the season. Sarpa salpa is known as "the fish that makes dreams" in Arabic.
Hemimyzon confluens is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Hemimyzon. It is known from a single location in the Nam Ngum drainage in Laos, a tributary of the Mekong. The known material suggests a maximum standard length of about 47 mm (1.9 in). H. confluens is threatened by pollution from mining activities and hydro-power development.
Hemimyzon ecdyonuroides is a species of hillstream loach in the genus Hemimyzon. It is known from two tributaries of the Mekong, from Sekong River and Sesan River drainages in Vietnam and Laos.
Hemimyzon formosanus is a species of hillstream loach in the genus Hemimyzon. It is endemic to western portion of Central Mountain Range of Taiwan. Its maximum length is 10 cm (3.9 in). Variations in nucleotide sequences within the mitochondrial control region show strong geographic structuring suggestive of a cryptic species complex.
Hemimyzon khonensis is a species of hillstream loach in the genus Hemimyzon. It is known from a single specimen collected in the Mekong at the Khone Falls in Laos, near the Cambodian border; it is named for the falls. The specimen was 51 mm (2.0 in) in standard length.
Hemimyzon macroptera is a species of hillstream loach in the genus Hemimyzon. It is found in clear-water streams with rocky bottom in the Nanpan River basin, Yunnan, China. It is naturally scarce but widespread.
Hemimyzon megalopseos is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Hemimyzon.
Hemimyzon nanensis is a species of hillstream loach in the genus Hemimyzon. It occurs in the Chao Phraya basin, Thailand.
Hemimyzon pumilicorpora is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Hemimyzon. it is a fresh water fish found in China. Males can reach up to 5.7 cm in length.
Hemimyzon pengi is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Hemimyzon. Hemimyzon pengi is a freshwater fish, mainly found in China.
Hemimyzon papilio is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Hemimyzon.
Hemimyzon sheni is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Hemimyzon. It is only known from Tar-Ju River basin, Taitung County, southeast Taiwan, where its type locality is. Only three specimens were collected and later attempts to find more specimens have failed. Among its relatives, H. sheni most closely resembles H. formosanus, but it seems to be more a head-water species than H. formosanus. It is a small species with standard length of 5 cm (2.0 in).
Hemimyzon elongata is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Hemimyzon. It has been found in the Mekong basin in Yunnan, China. It is a benthopelagic, freshwater fish.
Hemimyzon tchangi is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Hemimyzon.
SeaLifeBase is a global online database of information about marine life. It aims to provide key information on the taxonomy, distribution and ecology of all marine species in the world apart from finfish. SeaLifeBase is in partnership with the WorldFish Center in Malaysia and the UBC Fisheries Centre at the University of British Columbia. Daniel Pauly is the principal investigator and it is coordinated by Maria Lourdes D. Palomares. As of October 2016, it included descriptions of 74,000 species, 47,700 common names, 12,400 pictures, and references to 31,700 works in the scientific literature. SeaLifeBase complements FishBase, which provides parallel information for finfish.
