属性Pseutanthias.增长的速度至少一个新成员体育吗r year as the reefs of the Pacific continue to drip feed us with brand new, never before seen species. In 2013 we saw the appearance of the “sunrise anthias” from New Caledonia, and while it hasn’t been yet been described scientifically, it’s pretty clear that it has attained species level from the rest of its peers. In what appears to be friendly competition, we’re now seeing the Coral Sea spit out a rather unusualPseutanthias.,这也可能会通过另一个+1调动物种数量。
Like the Quality Marine exclusive “sunrise anthias“来自新喀里多尼亚,这种不寻常的看Pseutanthias.是来自珊瑚海的凯恩斯海洋专长,尚未发现其他任何地方。本月早些时候,我们访问了凯恩斯海洋,我们有机会原位观察这条鱼。后来我们手挑选了一些标本,将返回新加坡,我有机会拍摄一些照片,更详细地观察鱼。
我们还与Deepwater Diver Tim Bennett交谈,以及关于鱼类的行为和生物学的凯恩斯海洋的芬顿沃尔斯。基于我们看到的内容并不令人惊讶Pseutanthias.in question could potentially be a new species, and it has been tentatively assigned the namePseudanthias CF.Aurentus因为它与之紧密相似P. aurulentus。然而,我们不同意这个命名,我们将继续解释为什么在一点点。
珊瑚海Pseutanthias.显然是一个物种复杂的一部分,包括五个与其他密切相关的成员,我们将很快触摸。就像这个物种组中的其他人一样,这个特殊Pseutanthias.is fond of deeper water. Tim Bennett, deepwater diver and fish collector of Cairns Marine revealed to us that these beautiful fish only start appearing at depths reaching 60m (200ft) and below, where they hover in rather large groups along stronger currents.
They are collected from Holmes Reef, about 240km East of Cairns, and has not been seen or documented anywhere else.
Earlier on we mentioned that we didn’t quite agree with the association of this fish withPseutanthias.Aurentus。In the collage above we feature all the currently known members of the “洛瑞“物种复杂。
(一种)Pseutanthias.Aurentus那which is found primarily in the Central Pacific, has a predominantly red body and a white horizontal stripe running from the nape to the caudal peduncle along the mid-dorsum region. Near the tail, the white bar is loosely broken up by very obscure red belts. Often, these are not separated clearly and the white bar appears “toothed”.
(b)Pseudanthias sp.“sunrise” is the质量海洋exclusive known currently only from New Caledonia. It differs from all others in the complex by having a complete row of very distinct and defined red belts from the base of the dorsal fin all the way to the caudal peduncle, where it ends in a larger red blotch.
(C)pseudanthis flavoguttatus主要来自印度西太平洋,与前者不同,具有较大的红色皮带,沿着沿着躯体的三分之二。头部是黄色,它突破到沿着身体延长宽度的黄点的星座。
(d)Pseudanthias lori.与前者类似,在其范围的某些部分中重叠。不像P.Flavoguttatus.那P. lorican be found in shallower depths and lacks the strong yellow slate of the former.
(e)Pseudanthias privitera.在库克群岛和Mo'orea中找到,可能是法国波利尼西亚的其他部分。它是完全深水的,并且没有红色带,并且只有一个红色的带,并且只有一个非常薄的白色水平线,朝向尾部区域。它也比复杂的任何其他更强烈的黄色板岩。
(F)Pseudanthias CF.Aurentus“珊瑚海”是这个群体最新的成员,可能是一个独特的物种。联系P. aurulentus考虑到它看起来有多么不同,是非常令人惊讶的。在上面的拼贴画中,您可以看到它符合更仔细的相似之处P. privitera相反,沿着身体后部具有相同的较薄和相同的白色杆。这个珊瑚海的外观Pseutanthias.puts it in the middle ofP. aurulentus和P. privitera,但我们倾向于对此倾斜的更倾斜。
上面的地图显示了在找到这四种物种的位置,有一个粗略的想法Pseudanthias CF.Aurentus被发现在澳大利亚东部的珊瑚海地区。Pseutanthias.Aurentusis found primarily in the Eastern Central Pacific, andP. privitera在库克群岛和法国波利尼西亚。
As we speak, the taxonomic status of thisPseutanthias.is being investigated. As usual, some scientists will think that this is a distinct and new species, while some prefer to be more conservative and say that geographical variation is the reason for such difference in colour and appearance.
已经收集组织样品,有趣的是,看看如何将这种物种与其同源物进行比较。身体上讲,看看与其他“物种”之间存在任何解剖学和形态学的差异,也有趣。遗传和物理差异都是将这种鱼分开的钥匙,并共同将为完全完全和全面了解鱼类的完全理解。
As for now, this species is only available through凯恩斯海洋。由于它的深水和相当孤立的性质,不要指望这种鱼淹没市场Pseutanthias.tuka要么P. Bartlettorum.。此外,确实期待与这种复杂的其他成员相同的行为和困难。我们已经成功地用冷冻的肉类食品,如肌肌和盐水虾,但断奶干燥准备的食物需要一点训练和耐心。
尽管如此,我们真的很高兴看到另一个潜在的新东西Pseutanthias.出现在场景中,在那个方面是一个壮观的美丽。凯恩斯海军陆战队在他们的“后院”字面上有多么美好。
我们希望在凯恩斯海洋的朋友中致以致谢您的朋友,以获得关于这条鱼的精彩洞察力,照片机会和有价值的信息。您可以在接下来的日子里,我们可以在我们的设施访问他们的设施以及与Tim Bennett的聊天聊天。
目前,我们等待呼吸呼吸有关这个可爱的小的更多信息Pseutanthias.物种,我们希望看到更多的是在那里为死亡狂欢的恋人提供的更多。
