The recent expedition to the Philippines have yielded many bonuses for the California Academy of Sciences. A few days ago we saw the collection ofSacura speciosa, and just when we thought nothing could top that, boom. A newGrammatonotus具有最精美的颜色和叶叶尾的物种。我们对这个新物种知之甚少,但这是到目前为止我们所知道的。
The firstGrammatonotus被捕获布莱恩·格林(Brian Greene)at 471.2 ft. With the release of this photo by the CAS, the rare fish network sparked almost immediately into a flurry of social media shares and comments. Not long after, Brian managed to capture three more specimens at 487 ft, in Anilao, Batangas, Philippines. The tail of this species is very unique, and differs very drastically from the two other known species ofGrammatonotus我们知道目前。有关其中的更多信息,可以在本文稍后找到。
根据布莱恩的说法,该物种易于解压缩,但不能处理浮射时热攀登的温度波动。在下面的视频中,您会看到布莱恩(Brian)在他的收藏罐中展示了标本的其余部分。几乎立即看到了特征性的披针形尾巴,使这条鱼看起来像是超级高档的金鱼。
The genusGrammatonotus, apart from this new species, contains six members of splendid perches. Of which, only two have been photographed or filmed alive in the wild. All are found in very deep waters and are almost never seen by commercial diving. We have below, two examples of the six.
语法巨噬菌体is a colourful fish with incredibly long broom tail filaments rising outward from the soft rays of its caudal fin. The predominantly yellow and purple fish is incredibly eye catching, but lives in ridiculously deep waters of around 350-500 meters. This photo is a screen capture from a submersible video, and it is currently the only known live image of this fish in the wild.
Grammatonotus surugaensis是该属的最少罕见,是最经常拍摄和捕获的物种。它也被发现在其属中的浅水中发现,可以发现在约160英尺左右的底物附近游泳。G. Surugaensisis found in Japan, and is less colourful thanG.巨股. It also possesses on its tail, filamentous extensions coming out from the soft rays. However the filaments are never as long as in the former.
加上新的Grammatonotus该属的物种和第三个被活着的物种,我们比以往任何时候都更加兴奋,看到这个新鱼的故事是如何展开的。我们等待着呼吸的官方描述,再加上新的惊喜,让主教博物馆 +卡拉卡迪克科学团队从菲律宾拉起。
