Parascolopsis Akatamae是一种来自日本的矮小单片面包的新物种,具有非常好奇和独特的特征。荧光在许多不同的群体珊瑚礁动物,尤其是珊瑚,但新的Akatamae Bream表现出惊人的自然荧光程度。
Nearly four years ago we shared our own拍摄荧光的实验in common reef fish, discovering highly fluorescent markings in common reef fish such as wrasses, pipefish, anthias, and a particularly brilliant jawfish. In recent years there has been a lot more investigation into the phenomenon of fluorescence in reef fish, some species of damselfish and wrasses showing very localized fluorescent patterns that are not visible under broad spectrum lighting.
新描述的Parascolopsis Akatamae股票这种独特的、本地化的荧光和它has been used to distinguish it from a very similar congeneric species. The Akatamae Dwarf Monocle Bream is nearly identical to the closely related Parascolopsis eriomma under white light but the ‘pattern of biofluorescent emission’ is clearly different, with the former being having much brighter yellow-green fluorescence across the dorsal fin, and a bright coloration across the lower edge of the gills which is absent in the latter.
Alas, biofluorescence in reef fish is much more muted than it is in our aquarium corals, and requires very deep blue, near UV lighting spectrum as well as yellow orange barrier filters to see them, so this is not a fish that will ‘glow’ under typical blue aquarium lighting. However if you wanted to try,Parascolopsis Akatamae从日本到台湾,菲律宾甚至印度尼西亚的广泛分销。[[Biotaxa这是给予的
