Discovery Services: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Gradually the skin on the females back begins to swell and grow, engulfing the eggs, keeping them safe whilst they incubate and develop. Pun definitely intended! Everyone knows that Pufferfish have the ability to inflate their body, filling with water and sometimes air, into a ball up to twice its size when threatened, making all its sharp spines stick up and out.

This is a very stressful situation for the fish, so I would definitely not recommend encouraging this. Despite its spiky exterior, this fish has a fun and quirky personality — but is highly venomous! Opportunistic feeders, these guys will eat most things. We all know of Scorpions and Tarantulas, but not many have had the pleasure to come face to face with a Vinegaroon!

This nocturnal creature has pretty poor eyesight so relies heavily on its whip-like tail and its long first set of feeler-like legs to find its way around. This animals, although it looks mean is pretty harmless to humans. Its stingless tail has a special gland at the base, capable of spraying an acidic mist toward a potential predator. Imagine the surprise having that sprayed in your face!

The Good, the Ugly and the Unusual!

The Deep and Bristol Zoo Gardens have worked with these animals over the years and together have achieved the first documented successful breeding of the Vinegaroon within Zoos and Aquariums in the UK. Neither a wolf nor an eel, the Wolf eel is in fact a fish! The Wolf eel is one of 5 species in the endangered Wolf fish family.

These animals are relatively shy, however, they have one of the strongest jaws in the animal kingdom and their fang-like teeth are designed to deliver a nasty bite. This incredible feature is perfect for eating their favourite food — sea urchins and crabs.

Sea urchins multiply fast and this prime predator is exactly what is needed to keep their populations in check, without them, large populations of urchins would destroy their sensitive ecosystem. Wolf Eels also have another quirky adaptation. This odd looking Catfish comes from the tropical rivers of South America.

Its large pouty mouth and long sensitive whiskers barbels are prefect for sifting through the sediment in search of prey and food items. But its unique looks come from its ancestry. It dates all the way back to the Palaeozoic period and is easily distinguished by its armoured plates scaling along its lateral line. This quiet and shy fish is almost contradicted by these specialised scales, with razor sharp barbs at the tips, this is not a fish you want to mess with.

The Ripsaw catfish takes a long time to reach sexual maturity, and being slow to reproduce, places them in danger of dramatic population decline.

But arguments over managing this resource are flaring not only between commercial interests and conservationists, but also among the environmental agencies most directly involved in monitoring and regulating the catch.

A lot of money is at stake, as well as questions about the effectiveness of global guidelines meant to limit the effects of industrial fishing. Without formally acknowledging that hoki are being overfished, New Zealand has slashed the allowable catch in steps, from about , tons in and to about , tons in and — a decline of nearly two-thirds. The scientific jury is still out, but critics warn that the hoki fishery is losing its image as a showpiece of oceanic sustainability.

The problems, he said, include population declines, ecosystem damage and the accidental killing of skates and sharks. The hoki lives in inky darkness about a half-mile down and grows to more than four feet long, its body ending in a sinuous tail of great length. Large eyes give the fish a startled look.

Scientists say its fate represents a cautionary tale much like that of its heavily harvested forerunner, orange roughy. That deepwater fish reproduces slowly and lives more than years.

Can shame shape society?

Around New Zealand, catches fell steeply in the early s under the pressures of industrial fishing, in which factory trawlers work around the clock hauling in huge nets with big winches. Hoki rose commercially as orange roughy fell. Its shorter life span up to 25 years and quicker pace of reproduction seemed to promise sustainable harvests. And its dense spawning aggregations, from June to September, made colossal hauls relatively easy. As a result, the New Zealand Ministry of Fisheries set very high quotas — roughly , tons a year from to Dozens of factory trawlers plied the deep waters, and dealers shipped frozen blocks and fillets of the fish around the globe.

He is responsible for binominal nomenclature — the use of two-word names for each kind of living thing, comprised of a capitalized genus name combined with a lower case specific epithet, such as Homo sapiens — and the hierarchic classifications that categorize groups of species into genera, families, orders, classes, phyla, and kingdoms.

The International Institute for Species Exploration seeks to increase awareness of the biodiversity crisis and an appreciation for the importance of taxonomy, natural history, and collections in the exploration and conservation of animals, plants and microbes. Sutton worked with Theo dore Pietsch, Ph. Their findings have been published by The American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists in Copeia , an international journal that publishes original research on fishes, amphibians and reptiles.

The three female specimens found ranged in size from mm in length. Sutton studies the ecology of marine systems, particularly those of the open ocean.
