Houttuynia cordata, also known as fish mint, fish leaf, rainbow plant, chameleon plant, heart leaf, fish wort, or Chinese lizard tail, is one of two species in the genus Houttuynia (the other being H. emeiensis). It is a flowering plant native to Southeast Asia. [1] It grows in moist, shady locations. [2] It was named after Martinus Houttuyn.
It is a small to medium-sized tree growing to 7–25 m tall. The leaves are narrow obovate, 20–40 cm in length and 10–20 cm in width. Fruit produced as mentioned earlier, is otherwise aptly known as the Box Fruit, due to distinct square like diagonals jutting out from the cross section of the fruit, given its semi spherical shape form from stem altering to a subpyramidal shape at its base.
The distal end is praemorse, i.e. shaped like a fish tail. [4] [5] [6] The inflorescence is pendulous, branched, and up to 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in) long, and each carries either male or female flowers. The fruit is small and round, about 10 mm (0.4 in) in diameter.
Foureye butterflyfish usually frequent shallow inshore waters, where they feed on a variety of invertebrates, mainly zoantharians, sea anemones, scleractinians, [6] polychaete worms, gorgonians, tunicates, crustaceans and fish eggs. [7] This fish is known for its uncanny ability to swim in and around coral heads and reefs.
Most fish have a homocercal tail, but it can be expressed in a variety of shapes. The tail fin can be rounded at the end, truncated (almost vertical edge, as in salmon), forked (ending in two prongs), emarginate (with a slight inward curve), or continuous (dorsal, caudal, and anal fins attached, as in eels).
Global aquaculture production of Japanese amberjack (Seriola quinqueradiata) in thousand tonnes from 1950 to 2022, as reported by the FAO [3]The Japanese amberjack or yellowtail, Seriola quinqueradiata, is a species of jack fish in the family Carangidae, native to the northwest Pacific Ocean.
There are indications that Platycephalus indicus sensu lato is a species complex, the Australian bartail flathead (P. australis) has been recognised as a valid species, [5] and there is evidence that some of the records of this species from the waters of Japan and China are of two undescribed species, although a 2017 study confirmed the presence of P. indicus in this region.
Tail large caudal fin whose primary function is to provide main forward propulsion varies from thick tail as extension of body to a whip that can sting to almost no tail. Locomotion: swim by moving their tail from side to side Guitar fish and sawfish have a caudal fin like sharks swim by flapping their pectoral fins like wings
