Histrio histrio, Sargassumfish : fisheries, aquarium
> Lophiiformes (Anglerfishes) > Antennariidae (Frogfishes)
Etymology: Histrio:Latin, histrionicus = related with actors; because of the movements of that mekaes this fish before catching its preys (Ref. 45335). More on author: Linnaeus.
Окружающая среда: среда / климатическая зона / пределы глубины / диапазон распространения экология
морской ассоциированный с рифами; мигрирует в океане (Ref. 51243); пределы глубины 0 - 50 m (Ref. 58302), usually 0 - 2 m (Ref. 58302). Subtropical; 46°N - 36°S, -180°W - 180°E
Western Atlantic: Rio de la Plata estuary, Uruguay, to Canada (Ref. 5951). Eastern Atlantic: Azores and off West Africa; Gulf Stream drift stray in Norway (Ref. 28571). Indian Ocean: South Africa to Red Sea, Madagascar, Réunion and Mauritius, eastward to India and Sri Lanka. Western Pacific: Hokkaido to tropical Australia (as far south as Perth in the west and Sydney in the east), Taiwan, Philippines, Moluccas, southern Papua New Guinea, Guam, Tonga, New Caledonia and New Zealand; Mariana Islands in Micronesia (Ref. 1602). Occurrence in the eastern Pacific remains to be verifed and confirmed.
Размер / Вес / Возраст
половая зрелость: Lm? range ? - ? cm Max length : 20.0 cm TL самец/пол неопределен; (Ref. 7251)
колючие лучи спинного плавника (общее число) : 3; членистые (мягкие) лучи спинного плавника (общее число) : 11 - 13; колючие лучи анального плавника: 0; членистые (мягкие) лучи анального плавника: 6 - 13. Diagnosis: body short and globose; mouth large with many small, villiform teeth; skin naked, but head, body and fins covered with numerous skin flaps; very long pelvic fins (> 25% SL); unprotected illicium or lure attains less than half of second dorsal-fin spine and 4.5-9.3% of SL (Ref. 57225).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep; Cross section: compressed.
Found near the surface, usually associated with floating objects (Ref. 26340) or Sargassum. Found near shore and occasionally among floating seaweeds (Ref. 57225). Commonly blown into shore and bay waters during storms (Ref. 7251). Epipelagic (Ref. 58302). A solitary (Ref. 26340) and voracious predator (Ref. 5521). They feed on fishes and shrimps that seek refuge in the floating weeds (Ref. 48635). Oviparous. Eggs are bound in ribbon-like sheath or mass of gelatinous mucus called 'egg raft' or 'veil' (Ref. 6773, 48635). Solitary or loose groups among floating seaweed (Ref 90102).
Oviparous. During courtship, the male follows the female closely then both rush to the surface to spawn (Ref. 205). At this point, eggs are produced in a gelatinous floating mass or 'raft' and inseminated by the male. The eggs remain embedded in this raft until hatching (Ref. 240).
