Actinopterygii

Actinopterygii, members of which are known as ray-finned fish or actinopterygians, is a class of bony fish that comprise over 50% of living vertebrate species.

See Centracanthus and Actinopterygii

Black Sea

The Black Sea is a marginal mediterranean sea lying between Europe and Asia, east of the Balkans, south of the East European Plain, west of the Caucasus, and north of Anatolia.

Canary Islands

The Canary Islands (Canarias), also known informally as the Canaries, are a Spanish region, autonomous community and archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean.

Centracanthus cirrus

Centracanthus cirrus, the curled picarel, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Sparidae, the seabreams and porgies. Centracanthus and Centracanthus cirrus are Sparidae and taxa named by Constantine Samuel Rafinesque.

Constantine Samuel Rafinesque

Constantine Samuel Rafinesque-Schmaltz (22 October 178318 September 1840) was a French early 19th-century polymath born near Constantinople in the Ottoman Empire and self-educated in France.

Dorsal fin

A dorsal fin is a fin located on the back of most marine and freshwater vertebrates within various taxa of the animal kingdom.

Family (biology)

Family (familia,: familiae) is one of the nine major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy.

See Centracanthus and Family (biology)

Fish measurement

Fish measurement is the measuring of individual fish and various parts of their anatomies, for data used in many areas of ichthyology, including taxonomy and fishery biology.

See Centracanthus and Fish measurement

Fishes of the World

Fishes of the World is a standard reference for the systematics of fishes.

See Centracanthus and Fishes of the World

Fossil

A fossil (from Classical Latin) is any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age.

See Centracanthus and Fossil

Genus

Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.

See Centracanthus and Genus

Mediterranean Sea

The Mediterranean Sea is a sea connected to the Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by the Mediterranean Basin and almost completely enclosed by land: on the north by Southern Europe and Anatolia, on the south by North Africa, on the east by the Levant in West Asia, and on the west almost by the Morocco–Spain border.

See Centracanthus and Mediterranean Sea

Miocene

The Miocene is the first geological epoch of the Neogene Period and extends from about (Ma).

See Centracanthus and Miocene

Monotypic taxon

In biology, a monotypic taxon is a taxonomic group (taxon) that contains only one immediately subordinate taxon.

See Centracanthus and Monotypic taxon

Natural history

Natural history is a domain of inquiry involving organisms, including animals, fungi, and plants, in their natural environment, leaning more towards observational than experimental methods of study.

See Centracanthus and Natural history

Order (biology)

Order (ordo) is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy.

See Centracanthus and Order (biology)

Otolith

An otolith (ὠτο-, ōto- ear + λῐ́θος, líthos, a stone), also called statoconium, otoconium or statolith, is a calcium carbonate structure in the saccule or utricle of the inner ear, specifically in the vestibular system of vertebrates.

See Centracanthus and Otolith

Polymath

A polymath (lit; lit) or polyhistor (lit) is an individual whose knowledge spans many different subjects, known to draw on complex bodies of knowledge to solve specific problems.

See Centracanthus and Polymath

Sicily

Sicily (Sicilia,; Sicilia,, officially Regione Siciliana) is an island in the central Mediterranean Sea, south of the Italian Peninsula in continental Europe and is one of the 20 regions of Italy.

See Centracanthus and Sicily

Sparidae

Sparidae is a family of ray-finned fishes belonging to the order Spariformes, the seabreams and porgies, although they were traditionally classified in the order Perciformes. Centracanthus and Sparidae are taxa named by Constantine Samuel Rafinesque.

See Centracanthus and Sparidae

Spariformes

Spariformes is an order of ray-finned fishes consisting of 6 families within the series Percomorpha.

See Centracanthus and Spariformes

Species description

A species description is a formal scientific description of a newly encountered species, typically articulated through a scientific publication.

See Centracanthus and Species description

Spicara

Spicara is a genus of ray-finned fish belonging to the family Sparidae, which includes the seabreams and porgies. Centracanthus and Spicara are Sparidae, Spariform fish genera and taxa named by Constantine Samuel Rafinesque.

See Centracanthus and Spicara

Subfamily

In biological classification, a subfamily (Latin: subfamilia, plural subfamiliae) is an auxiliary (intermediate) taxonomic rank, next below family but more inclusive than genus.

See Centracanthus and Subfamily

Type (biology)

In biology, a type is a particular specimen (or in some cases a group of specimens) of an organism to which the scientific name of that organism is formally associated.

See Centracanthus and Type (biology)

Wiley (publisher)

John Wiley & Sons, Inc., commonly known as Wiley, is an American multinational publishing company that focuses on academic publishing and instructional materials.
