The Malabar Leaffish (Pristolepis marginata) is a species of freshwater fish in the family Pristolepididae. [2] [3] It lives in the Western Ghats in India. [1] [3]
A tuna is a saltwater fish that belongs to the tribe Thunnini, a subgrouping of the Scombridae (mackerel) family. The Thunnini comprise 15 species across five genera, the sizes of which vary greatly, ranging from the bullet tuna up to the Atlantic bluefin tuna, which averages 2 m (6.6 ft) and is believed to live up to 50 years.
Mackerel is a common name applied to a number of different species of pelagic fish, mostly from the family Scombridae. They are found in both temperate and tropical seas, mostly living along the coast or offshore in the oceanic environment.
Herring are forage fish, mostly belonging to the family of Clupeidae.
"Sardine" and "pilchard" are common names for various species of small, oily forage fish in the herring family Clupeidae. The term "sardine" was first used in English during the early 15th century, a folk etymology says it comes from the Italian island of Sardinia, around which sardines were once supposedly abundant.
The pygmy right whale is a species of baleen whale. It may be a member of the cetotheres, a family of baleen whales which until 2012 were thought to be extinct; C. marginata has otherwise been considered the monotypic taxon sole member of the family Neobalaenidae and is the only member of the genus Caperea. First described by John Edward Gray in 1846, it is the smallest of the baleen whales, ranging between 6 and 6.5 metres in length and 3,000 and 3,500 kilograms in mass. Despite its name, the pygmy right whale may have more in common with the gray whale and rorquals than the bowhead and right whales.
The marginated tortoise is a species of tortoise in the family Testudinidae. The species is endemic to Greece, Italy, and the Balkans in Southern Europe. It is the largest European tortoise. The marginated tortoise is herbivorous, and brumates for the winter.
Nandidae, the leaffish, are a family of small freshwater fishes which some authorities classify in the order Anabantiformes, but which the 5th edition of Fishes of the World classifies the family and the related Badidae and Pristolepididae outside that order as "sister-taxa". Fishes of the World classified these families and the Anabantiformes alongside Synbranchiformes, Carangiformes, Istiophoriformes and Pleuronectiformes in a monophyletic clade which is a sister taxon to the Ovalentaria but to which the authors do not assign a rank or a name. According to FishBase, the family includes three genera: Nandus of South and Southeast Asia with several species, and the monotypic Afronandus and Polycentropsis of tropical West and Middle Africa. Most recent authorities place the two African genera in the South American leaffish family, Polycentridae, which is only distantly related to Nandus. Another Asian family, Pristolepididae, share the common name leaffish and appear to be more closely related.
The yellow-headed box turtle or golden-headed box turtle is a proposed species of turtle in the family Geoemydidae. It is sometimes considered a subspecies of Pan's box turtle.
Kuhlia marginata, the dark-margined flagtail, spotted flagtail, silver flagtail, orange-finned flagtail, northern jungle perch or mountain bass, is a species of diadromous ray-finned fish, a flagtail from the family Kuhliidae. It is found in eastern Asia and Oceania.
The elktoe is a species of freshwater mussel, an aquatic bivalve mollusk in the family Unionidae, the river mussels. This species is found in southeastern Canada and the eastern United States. Like many mussels, it is threatened by water pollution from agriculture, industry, and other development, such as acid mine drainage and sedimentation. It may be extinct in Oklahoma.
Amsinckia marginata is a species of plant in the family Boraginaceae. It is endemic to Ecuador. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Anisoptera marginata is a tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae. The specific epithet marginata means "bordered", referring to the leaf veins.
The San Felipe hutia, also known as the little earth hutia, is small, critically endangered, rat-like mammal found on the small island of Cayo de Juan Garcia off the southwest coast of Cuba. It was discovered in 1970 and is possibly extinct. Little is known about the species, except that it lives in swamps and coastal mangrove forests. It is a member of the hutia subfamily (Capromyinae), a group of stout rodents native to the Caribbean that are mostly endangered or extinct.
Pristolepis grootii, commonly known as the Indonesian leaffish, is a fish native to streams of the Indonesian islands of Sumatra, Bangka, Belitung and Borneo, and Thailand. It is part of the first Western Indonesian and Sulawesi Freshwater fish species recorded by December 31, 1991 along with another 963 species. Further research lead to the discovery of other 79 fish species in the area. By May 31st, 1996 deletions and additions were made revealing a grand total of 1032 known fish species in the area. The specific name honours the Dutch naturalist and ethnographer Cornelis de Groot van Embden (1817-1896).
Pristolepis fasciatus, commonly known as the Malayan leaffish, is a fish in the family Pristolepididae. It lives in the Mekong and Chao Phraya basins in Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar, the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo, possibly also in southern India and China.
Pristolepis is a genus of fish in the family Pristolepididae sometimes classified in the order Anabantiformes native to freshwater habitats in Southeast Asia and India's Western Ghats. This genus is the only member of its family, a family which, with the families Nandidae and Polycentridae is a group of taxa which are sisters to the Anabantiformes and form part of an unnamed and unranked clade within the series Ovalentaria, closest to the Carangiformes. These three families share the common name "leaffish".
The Lusitanian cownose ray is a species of eagle ray found along the western coast of Africa and Mediterranean Sea. It is apparently very rare in the Mediterranean Sea, but is common in shallow waters off the western Africa.
Peripterygia marginata is a species of shrubs in the family Celastraceae. It is endemic to New Caledonia and the only species of the genus Peripterygia. Its closest relatives are Crossopetalum and Siphonodon.
