背侧乳突原状到目前为止,它是一种非常稀有的贝斯莱特物种,从未被活着拍照。从日本的鱼市场获得了“黄色”巴斯莱特的原始类型标本,因此可以肯定地说,由于我们没有对该物种的文献,因此我们可以合理地假设背侧乳突原状是一种深水物种。
There have been a steady trickle of reports of this fish being caught on hook and line in Japan, and also showing up in fish markets so this photo spread from爪哇装饰鱼is a rare opportunity to see the living appearance of this fish. As far as烯烃巴斯莱特s go, the yellow back basslet doesn’t stray very from from the mold at all, with its nearly all red coloration and a touch of yellow on its back it might actually be the archetype for烯烃。
爪哇装饰鱼is based on the East end of Java in Banyuwangi and in all likelihood this fish was also caught on hook and line by regional fisherman, so it’s hard to know the depth from which it came but that nearly solid red coloration might be an adaptation to deep dark habitats. Wether it was collected by divers or caught with a pole these larger deepwater basslets are notoriously sensitive to being brought to the water surface so it’s a good sign that we don’t see any sign of bloating of floating in this individual.
背侧乳突原状是该属中较大的物种之一,其类型的标本范围从六到八英寸,因此黄色背部的黄马斯在完全生长时必须是一只艳丽的鱼。Java和Bali之间的Banyuwangi地区因在Bali/Java Sea和印度洋之间的这条短而深的河道中吹出一些非常意外的鱼而闻名,我们期待看到接下来会发生什么。
