Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of the Fishes of the British Islands, Vol. 2 Cuvier says of this family of fishes, that it contains a numerous class to which the remarkable appearance of the head, variously armed and protected, gives a peculiar aspect which has always caused them to be arranged in special genera, although they have many close affinities with the family of Perches. Their common character consists in having the bone beneath the orbit more less extended over the cheek, and articulated beneath with the first bone of the gill-cover. The teeth generally are fine. The pectoral fins in the whole of this class receive an extensive development, and are prepared for functions somewhat different from those exercised by the greater number of fishes; the separate rays of those fins being endowed with special powers of sensation, for the exercise of which they are supplied with nerves of more than ordinary size. The bones at the setting on of those fins are so arranged as to constitute what may be termed an arm, and the branches of the nerves pass along these bones, to proceed through an opening formed for that purpose between two of the bones, which may be called by the corresponding terms in the anatomy of man, the radius and ulna.
