Hyperprosopon is a genus of surfperches native to the eastern Pacific Ocean.
There are currently three recognized species in this genus: [1]
Gibbons are apes in the family Hylobatidae. The family historically contained one genus, but now is split into four extant genera and 20 species. Gibbons live in subtropical and tropical forests from eastern Bangladesh to Northeast India to southern China and Indonesia.
Apes are a clade of Old World simians native to sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia. Apes are more closely related to Old World monkeys than to the New World monkeys (Platyrrhini) with both Old World monkeys and apes placed in the clade Catarrhini. Apes do not have tails due to a mutation of the TBXT gene. In traditional and non-scientific use, the term ape can include tailless primates taxonomically considered Cercopithecidae, and is thus not equivalent to the scientific taxon Hominoidea. There are two extant branches of the superfamily Hominoidea: the gibbons, or lesser apes; and the hominids, or great apes.
The hoolock gibbons are three primate species of genus Hoolock in the gibbon family, Hylobatidae, native to eastern Bangladesh, Northeast India, Myanmar, and Southwest China.
The genus Hylobates is one of the four genera of gibbons. Its name means "forest walker", from the Greek hūlē and bates.
Nomascus is the second-most speciose genus of the gibbon family, Hylobatidae. Originally, this genus was a subgenus of Hylobates, with all individuals considered to be one species, H. concolor.
Bunopithecus is an extinct genus of primate represented by one species, Bunopithecus sericus, a gibbon or gibbon-like ape. Its remains were first discovered in Sichuan, China, in strata from the Middle Pleistocene.
The tule perch is a surfperch (Embiotocidae) native to the rivers and estuaries of central California. It is the sole member of its genus, and the only freshwater surfperch.
Hyperprosopon ellipticum, the silver surfperch, is a species of surfperch native to the eastern Pacific Ocean. This species is also displayed in public aquariums.
The redtail surfperch is a marine fish that inhabits the near-shore and estuarine waters of North American Pacific coasts.
Amphistichus is a genus of surfperches native to the eastern Pacific Ocean.
Embiotoca is a genus of surfperches native to the eastern Pacific Ocean.
The rainbow surfperch, also known as rainbow seaperch, or bugara, is a species of surfperch found along the Pacific coast of North America from Cape Mendocino, California to northern Baja California, Mexico. This species prefers rocky shores over sandy ones, and is never found in the surf, preferring the edges of kelp forests down to depths of about 40 metres (130 ft). This species grows to a length of 30 centimetres (12 in) TL. This species is the only known member of its genus. The specific name honours Thomas Cary (1824-1888), a business man and amateur naturalist who was also the brother-in-law of Louis Agassiz who procured specimens that confirmed that this species was viviparous.
Neoditrema ransonnetii is a species of surfperch native to the Pacific coasts of Korea and Japan. This species grows to a length of 13 centimetres (5.1 in) FL. This species is the only known member of its genus. The specific name honours the Austrian diplomat, painter, lithographer, biologist and explorer Eugen von Ransonnet-Villez (1838–1926), who obtained the type specimens in Japan.
Phanerodon is a genus of surfperches native to the eastern Pacific Ocean.
Rhacochilus is a genus of surfperches native to the eastern Pacific Ocean.
The pink surfperch, or pink seaperch, is a species of surfperch native to the eastern Pacific Ocean from Point Delgada, California, United States to southern Baja California. It is also present in the Gulf of California. This species is an offshore member of the surfperch family, and occurs at depths of from 8 to 229 metres. The Pink surfperch grows to a length of 20 centimetres (7.9 in) TL. It is the only known member of its genus.
Embiotoca jacksoni, commonly known as the black surfperch, is a species of surfperches native to shallow coastal areas of the eastern Pacific. Other common names of the species include black perch and butterlips. They are usually a dark reddish brown to tan in color, often also with vertical dark bars across their body. They are commercially important food and game fish.
Embiotoca lateralis, commonly known as the striped surfperch or striped seaperch, is a species of surfperch native to the north-eastern Pacific Ocean.
The spotfin surfperch is a species of ray-finned fish from the surfperch family Embiotocidae. It occurs along the western coast of North AMerica from Oregon to Baja California where it occurs in waters down to 101 metres (331 ft). It is viviparous and grows to a total length of 20 centimetres (7.9 in).
Torpedo Wharf is a wharf in the Presidio of San Francisco, in the U.S. state of California. The site has been a wharf since 1854, and earned its current name when the United States Army built a naval mine depot c. 1907–1909. The current wharf was established in 1941, and now serves as a popular tourist destination.
