与往年一样,2013年是发现并描述的新种礁鱼的绝佳一年。像往常一样Eviota和Trimmagobies, the dwarf gobies are plentiful, and there’s been a few wrasses, and even a shark!
It was tough picking the top five nest new reef species of 2013, and theOreo Chromis只是几乎没有脱颖而出。无论哪种方式,您都会发现,今年我们必须看到一些令人难以置信的新物种,毫无疑问,海洋仍然充满了惊人的物种,这些物种将在未来继续吸引我们的注意力。
Komodo Flasher Wrasse–The Komodo flasher wrasse,Paracheilinus rennyae,一个物种的存在time before its official description. We even covered theKomodo Flasher Wrasseback when its distinct species status was only supposed.
Unique among congeners, Paracheilinus rennyae is one of only two species in the genus to have continuous finnage with no streamers, lyretail or other adornments. The komodo flasher wrasse is still exceptionally beautiful and would make a huge splash if it ever entered the aquarium hobby.
Flame Plectranthias–plectranthiasis also a very prolific genus in temrs of offering up new species on a regular basis. The aptly named Flame Basslet,plectranthiasflammeus, is yet another of those new species which taunts us from a geographic distance but a fairly reasonable depth. Found only in Fench Polynesia, at least P. flammeus occurs in accessible 60 to 150 feet where fish collectors could actually get to it if they ever sought out to.
日出矮人Goby– For us the sunrise dwarf goby,Eviota pamae, is the newly described species that took our breath away. In a crowded field of countless new species ofEviota和描述了三角形的gobies,E. PAMAE脱颖而出是最精致的。
杀手级的颜色,在该物种的雄性中流动着戏剧性的对比度广告,几乎可以保证,如果这条鱼曾经到我们的小纳米礁坦克,矮人Sunrise Goby的第一波浪潮将出售Lotilia矮人的价格。更不用说,其精美的色彩可确保这是鱼类育种者为能够繁殖和合作而努力的一种物种。
Halmahera Epaulette鲨鱼– New species of sharks are occasionally discovered and described but rarely are the adults small enough to ship in a typical fish box. The newly describedHemiscylum halmahera是流行的epaulette鲨鱼物种的一种新物种,它在海底爬行,用两对鳍(例如sal酱)而不是鱼。
日出anthias- 如果今年有一种新的水族馆鱼类,那么新喀里多尼亚的日出anthias绝对要蛋糕。仍然没有描述,这条鱼的首次出现在我们的社区中是在加利福尼亚州的优质海洋中运送。因此,我们不仅获得了一种新的流行物种Pseudanthias我们看到的第一个属是在美国水族馆中,我们很可能会从新喀里多尼亚的未来货物到QM中看到更多的水族馆。
我们像海洋水族馆和礁一样幸运,以至于每年都会发现,描述或刚刚向我们的业余爱好发现如此多的新物种。您最喜欢哪种物种?我们是否想念您认为应该列出的任何东西?在下面的评论中让我们知道,这是期待另一年的新鱼类和发现。
