Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Revision of the Fishes of the Family Liparidae The following report consists of a biological and taxonomic study of the fishes belonging to the family Liparidae. The writer, as an assistant upon the United States Bureau of Fisheries steamer Albatross during the Japanese cruise of 1906, became interested in the many new and peculiar species of Liparidae that were continually being brought up by the dredge. Later, when assisting in the preparation of reports on these fishes, it became evident that the published accounts of the Liparidae were very unsatisfactory and that with the acquisition of so many new species a thorough review of the family would be most timely. It was seen also that the Liparidae, represented as it is at all depths from the tide pools down to 2,000 fathoms, is a faverable group in which to study the modification of structure and color due to the environment of the deep sea. This led to the extension of the subject matter of the report into two parts. Part 1 consists of (1) a general account of the modification of structure and color throughout the family; (2) the distribution, both horizontal and bathymetrical; (3) the relation between the bathymetrical distribution and the coloration; (4) summary. Part 2 consists mainly of a taxonomic review of the family. The descriptions of those species which have been adequately described elsewhere have been reduced to a brief synopsis of important characters together with an account of the distribution and a discussion of relationships. Keys to the genera and species are included. In addition the taxonomic value and modification of the specific characters of the three genera, Liparis, Careproctus, and Paraliparis, are described. Genera. - Thirteen genera are recognized in this report. A number of the old genera have been reduced to synonomy. I have followed Garman and other writers in not recoginzing Neoliparis Steindachner.
