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.

Auckland War Memorial Museum

The Auckland War Memorial Museum (Tāmaki Paenga Hira), also known as Auckland Museum, is one of New Zealand's most important museums and war memorials.

Chatham Island

Chatham Island (Moriori: Rēkohu, 'Misty Sun'; Wharekauri) is the largest island of the Chatham Islands group, in the south Pacific Ocean off the eastern coast of New Zealand's South Island.

Chatham Rise

The Chatham Rise is an area of ocean floor to the east of New Zealand, forming part of the Zealandia continent.

Compound (linguistics)

In linguistics, a compound is a lexeme (less precisely, a word or sign) that consists of more than one stem.

See Scaly gurnard and Compound (linguistics)

Demersal fish

Demersal fish, also known as groundfish, live and feed on or near the bottom of seas or lakes (the demersal zone).

See Scaly gurnard and Demersal fish

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.

See Scaly gurnard and Dorsal fin

Endemism

Endemism is the state of a species only being found in a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere.

See Scaly gurnard and Endemism

Family (biology)

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

See Scaly gurnard and Family (biology)

Fish fin

Fins are moving appendages protruding from the body of fish that interact with water to generate thrust and help the fish swim.

Frederick Hutton (scientist)

Captain Frederick Wollaston Hutton (16 November 1836 – 27 October 1905) was an English-born New Zealand scientist who applied the theory of natural selection to explain the origins and nature of the natural history of New Zealand.

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 Scaly gurnard and Genus

Kermadec Islands

The Kermadec Islands (Rangitāhua) are a subtropical island arc in the South Pacific Ocean northeast of New Zealand's North Island, and a similar distance southwest of Tonga.

Lateral line

The lateral line, also called the lateral line organ (LLO), is a system of sensory organs found in fish, used to detect movement, vibration, and pressure gradients in the surrounding water.

Lepidotrigla

Lepidotrigla is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Triglidae, the gurnards and sea robins.

See Scaly gurnard and Lepidotrigla

Species

A species (species) is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction.

See Scaly gurnard and Species

Species description

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

See Scaly gurnard and Species description

Triglidae

Triglidae, commonly known as gurnards or sea robins, are a family of bottom-feeding scorpaeniform ray-finned fish.

See Scaly gurnard and Triglidae

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.
