Totally off theme Hoplostethus mediterraneus for #SundayFishSketch. Their common name is the silver roughy, or Mediterranean slimehead. Despite the unfortunate nickname, they're actually quite beautiful. I hope I did it justice.
Animukseen ois minibadgei tarjolla! 10€ ja +2€ jos haluu coniin tulostettuna ja laminoituna! Laittakaa viestiä 🖤
#FishEponym: Phallostethus cuulong, a species of priapusfish described in 2012, and collected from the Mekong Delta in Sóc Trăng & Trà Vinh provinces, southern Vietnam. The Mekong is known as the Cửu Long in Vietnamese.

For Day 3 of #FreshVsSaltyFish let us marvel at #TeamFresh's Priapium Fishes (#Phallostethidae) whose males have a raptorial reproductive structure under their heads that is used for internal fertilization of females.

@chelseaherps Priapium Fishes such as #Phallostethus have males with specialized genitalia located on the ventral surface of their heads. #NastyNomenclature https://t.co/FEuF2MZizp

Kupliin uusi juliste on julkaistu! Pian Tampereen katukuvastakin löytyvää julistetta saa printata ja jakaa kaikille tutuille ja tuntemattomille sarjakuvan ystäville. Tulostettavat versiot julisteesta löytyvät nettisivuiltamme Levitä sanaa -osiosta. #Levitäsanaa #Tamperekuplii
hey #scanallfishes, has anyone scanned a phallostethid species? #ovalentaria might be the coolest clade of vertebrates. Seems like all eco/bio diversity found in fishes, occurs in just this group.

頭部に消化管生殖器を備えるPhallostethus cuulong。雄生殖器(写真)にはハサミの構造があり、雌生殖器に把握するための器官だとか。これで生殖しやすくしている。
