Pinus merkusii is closely related to the Tenasserim pine (P. latteri), which occurs farther north in southeast Asia from Myanmar to Vietnam; some botanists treat the two as conspecific (under the name P. merkusii, which was described first), but P. latteri differs in longer (18–27 cm or 7– 10 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) and stouter (over 1 mm thick) leaves and larger cones with thicker scales, the cones ...
The Asian arowana (Scleropages formosus) comprises several phenotypic varieties of freshwater fish distributed geographically across Southeast Asia. [3] While most consider the different varieties to belong to a single species, [4] [5] [6] [3] [7] work by Pouyaud et al. (2003) [8] differentiates these varieties into multiple species.
Fish anatomy is the study of the form or morphology of fish.It can be contrasted with fish physiology, which is the study of how the component parts of fish function together in the living fish. [1]
At least five extinct genera, known only from fossils, are classified as osteoglossids; these date back at least as far as the Late Cretaceous.Other fossils from as far back as the Late Jurassic or Early Cretaceous are widely considered to belong to the arowana superorder Osteoglossomorpha.
Hibiscus [2] [3] is a genus of flowering plants in the mallow family, Malvaceae.The genus is quite large, comprising several hundred species that are native to warm temperate, subtropical and tropical regions throughout the world.
Nemipterus japonicus has its dorsal fin supported by 10 spines and 9 soft rays while the anal fin contains 3 spines and 7 soft rays. [2] Its body has a standard length that is 2.7 to 3.5 times its depth and it has a snout that is equal to in length or longer than the diameter of the eye.
A fish (pl.: fish or fishes) is an aquatic, anamniotic, gill-bearing vertebrate animal with swimming fins and a hard skull, but lacking limbs with digits.Fish can be grouped into the more basal jawless fish and the more common jawed fish, the latter including all living cartilaginous and bony fish, as well as the extinct placoderms and acanthodians.
A. sanctaecrucis has been reported in regions in Southwestern India, Central Asia, Southern China, and Southeastern Asia, including Malaysia and Indonesia. [2] A. sanctaecrucis is well adapted for living in tropical environments, where rainfall is ample but unpredictable, and where food resources are available throughout the year. [3]
