The sharp-nosed mullet (Neomyxus leuciscus) is a species of ray-finned fish of mullet found in the tropical west and central Pacific Ocean.
Some older publications used the name Neomyxus chaptalli, but the holotype of Mugil chaptalli, MNHN 8100, is actually a specimen of the Flathead grey mullet, rendering leuciscus the correct name for the sharp-nosed mullet. [1] [2] [3]
The ide, or orfe, is a freshwater fish of the family Cyprinidae found in larger rivers, ponds, and lakes across Northern Europe and Asia. It has been introduced outside its native range in Europe, North America, and New Zealand. It is a popular ornamental fish, usually kept in outdoor ponds in temperate regions from which it often escapes.
The Hawaiian people practiced aquaculture through development of fish ponds, the most advanced fish husbandry among the original peoples of the Pacific. These fishponds were typically shallow areas of a reef flat surrounded by a low lava rock wall built out from the shore. Several species of edible fish thrive in such ponds, and Hawaiians developed methods to make them easy to catch.
The mullets or grey mullets are a family (Mugilidae) of ray-finned fish found worldwide in coastal temperate and tropical waters, and some species in fresh water. Mullets have served as an important source of food in Mediterranean Europe since Roman times. The family includes about 78 species in 20 genera.
A dace is a small fish that can be one of many different species. The unmodified name is usually a reference to the common dace. This, like most fishes called "daces", belongs to the family Cyprinidae, mostly in subfamily Leuciscinae.
The common dace is a species of freshwater and brackish water ray-finned fish from the family Cyprinidae which is native to Europe but which has been introduced to other parts of the world. It is a quarry species for coarse anglers.
Leuciscus is a genus of fish belonging to the family Cyprinidae. They are inland water fishes commonly called Eurasian daces. The genus is widespread from Europe to Siberia. Species broadly distributed in Europe include the common dace Leuciscus leuciscus and the ide L. idus.
The roach, also known as the common roach, is a fresh- and brackish-water fish of the family Cyprinidae, native to most of Europe and western Asia. Fishes called roach can be any species of the genera Rutilus and Hesperoleucus, depending on locality. The plural of the term is also roach.
The flathead grey mullet is an important food fish species in the mullet family Mugilidae. It is found in coastal tropical and subtropical waters worldwide. Its length is typically 30 to 75 centimetres. It is known with numerous English names, including the flathead mullet, striped mullet, black mullet, bully mullet, common mullet, grey mullet, sea mullet and mullet, among others.
Cestraeus is a genus of mullets found in rivers of Asia and Oceania.
The red mullets or surmullets are two species of goatfish, Mullus barbatus and Mullus surmuletus, found in the Mediterranean Sea, east North Atlantic Ocean, and the Black Sea. Both "red mullet" and "surmullet" can also refer to the Mullidae in general.
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.
Leuciscus burdigalensis, the beaked dace, is a cyprinid freshwater fish from central and southern France. It is recorded both from Atlantic and Mediterranean drainages - from Loire to Garonne, and from Tech to Aude, respectively. Dace recorded in the Herault may also be L. burdigalensis.
Leuciscus danilewskii, referred to as the Danilevskii's dace or Don dace, is a species of freshwater fish of the cyprinid family, inhabiting the Don River basin in Ukraine and Russia. It is similar to the common dace, and thought to replace it in the Don basin.
The long-snout dace is a species of cyprinid fish, found in the Garonne drainage in France.
Aspius is sometimes considered a genus of Eurasian cyprinid fish, with two recognized species. Both species are now usually included in the genus Leuciscus. They live in depths of water at a minimum of 10 m (33 ft.), at 4 to 20 °C. These fish grow to a maximum of 120 cm (3.9 ft.) long and weigh no more than 12 kg (26 lb.) and live up to 11 years. Aspius species have 7–9 dorsal soft rays and 12–15 anal soft rays. Their long bodies have a long, sharp head. They have a green back with a silver/blue tint with a silver/white belly. Their pectoral, pelvic, and anal fins are grey and brown.
Halulu Lake is a lake in the south central region of the island of Niʻihau. It is the largest (non-intermittent) natural lake in the Hawaiian Islands and ranks third in size after Hālaliʻi Lake and Keālia Pond which are intermittent bodies of water.
The shark mullet, also known as the sharp-nosed mullet or skipjack mullet, is a species of ray-finned fish from the grey mullet family Mugilidae. It is found in Australia and New Guinea where it occurs in muddy freshwater habitats and mangroves, it feeds on algae and insects taken from the surface but also on benthic invertebrates. It can breathe air and sometimes moves over exposed mud by wriggling. It was formerly classified in the genus Rhinomugil, with the corsula, but is now placed in its own monospecific genus, Squalomugil.
