Digiman Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Small Dr Seuss fish 7cm I have seen one of this fish in Japan with decompression problem. They feed well but they are collected deep in Marshall and can develop major decompression maladies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digiman Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 2013 July Okinawa fish collection Beyond 200m Odontanthias Katayamai becomes abundant and can be fished easily using hook and line. However pulling them up from them depth will only end up with a dead fish... Other fishes caught at the same depth Odontanthias Unimaculatus callanthias japonicus Plectranthias sp Seleanthias Analis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Reefer yikai Posted January 9, 2014 Senior Reefer Share Posted January 9, 2014 very rarely seen dottyback from an equally rare and obscure genus. Chlidichthys auratus. from the red sea. its small size and cryptic nature will probably protect it from frequent collection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B. paraleucosticticus maximum size is 15cm while leucosticticus is 21. the latter will change while former does not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodianus rubrisos and Bodianus oxycephalus. from kuiter's book, for reference. what do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digiman Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 digi, i think there is a mix up here. there seems to be two kinds of hogfishes. Bodianus rubrisos and Bodianus oxycephalus. from kuiter's book, for reference. what do you think? Thanks for the correction. The website i gotten the pics from were done by google translation and accuracy was compromised. Indeed the adults r rubrisos n oxycephalus. In fact now that i recall i had seen oxycephalus females and males at osaka kaiyukan. Rubrisos, oxycephalus and leucostictus look almost identical when they are juvi to mid adult stage. But on a good note, that means adult leucostictus may not be as ugly as adult rubrisos or oxycephalus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
