the cornish jack , mormyrops anguilloides , is a species of weakly electric fish in the family mormyridae , native to quiet waters in much of sub-saharan africa .

the largest species in its family , the cornish jack is a nocturnal group hunter of smaller fishes , using electricity to locate its prey and communicate with other members of its group .

it is a commercial game fish valued for its size and taste .

the common name " cornish jack " likely originated from european settlers , who thought that this fish resembled the european pike , whose young is known as a " jack " in some parts of england .

it is also known as " african carp " , a name that is used for several other species .

with the end of mining and changes to agricultural methods , the social and economic focus of the peninsula changed once again . from the 1950s cheap subdivisions and government leases around the coast , together with increased motor vehicle ownership , brought the rise of shacks fanning out from ardrossan along beaches including port julia , black point , and in many other places around the long coastline . with the peninsula now the home of small farming communities , tourism became an important supplement to the local economy . based in the cornish heritage of the area , an annual ' cousin jack carnival ' began in 1963 . in 1973 , through the vision of premier don dunstan , ' the world ' s largest cornish festival ' was born , with the advent of ' kernewek lowender ' . the festival has continued to be a biennial celebration of the cornish heritage of the peninsula .

oscar - nominated feature director morten tyldum ( the imitation game , passengers ) is set to direct the opening episode of amazon ’s straight - to - series drama tom clancy ’s jack ryan , from the lost duo of co - showrunner carlton cuse and writer graham roland , platinum dunes , skydance media and paramount tv .
jack ryan is co - produced by paramount tv and skydance tv and executive produced by cuse , roland , platinum dunes’ michael bay , brad fuller , and andrew form , as well as skydance’s david ellison , dana goldberg and marcy ross , along with the movie franchise’s producer mace neufeld and lindsey springer of carlton cuse prods .
unfolding over 10 episodes , the series follows jack ryan ( krasinski ) , an up - and - coming cia analyst thrust into a dangerous field assignment for the first time . he uncovers a pattern in terrorist communication that launches him into the center of a dangerous gambit with a new breed of terrorism that threatens destruction on a global scale .
jack ryan stars john krasinski ( the office , 13 hours : the secret soldiers of benghazi ) as clancy’s cia analyst , who finds himself on field assignment for the first time , uncovering a pattern in terrorist communication that launches him into the center of a dangerous gambit with a new breed of terrorism that threatens destruction on a global scale . ”
over the years , ryan has been portrayed by alec baldwin in 1990 & apos ; s the hunt for red october , harrison ford in 1992 & apos ; s patriot games and 1994 & apos ; s clear and present danger , ben affleck in 2002 & apos ; s the sum of all fears , and most recently by star trek star chris pine for jack ryan : shadow recruit .
sterne : no , no , it ' s a smaller jack . we don ' t know exactly when that was invented . the first widespread consumer use was transistor radios . the first one was 1954 , i think . but it ' s likely that shape of the plug was in use in military uses before that and probably also for hearing aids , which is where a lot of advances in miniaturization happened .
some independent television companies used cornish locations as far back as 1956 and , in 1966 , the bbc started using outdoor locations for doctor who . the big thrust of television filming in the county came in the 1970s with two major television series ; the onedin line and poldark . a further resurgence in television filming came in the mid 1990s with the wycliffe series . more recently have been the doc martin series , which was a spin - off from the film saving grace , and echo beach , a somewhat controversial weekly soap opera starring jason donovan and martine mccutcheon . 2014 saw cornwall as the main location for the remake of winston graham ' s poldark with aidan turner in the title role . cornwall has also become popular as the focus of documentaries about cornish life with series like the fisherman ' s apprentice with monty halls and cornwall with caroline quentin .
from the late 1840s the peninsula was also the home of wandering shepherds caring for flocks belonging to european pastoralists including ex - sea captain walter hughes who took up the lease of the wallaroo run in 1854 . one of these shepherds , paddy ryan , discovered copper ore on hughes ' land in 1861 - reputedly in a wombat ' s burrow . ryan died soon afterwards , but hughes and his co - investors became very wealthy men . the network of lodes which made up the legendary wallaroo and moonta mines brought wealth to their owners , and led to the founding of south australia ' s three largest towns outside of adelaide - kadina , wallaroo and moonta . within four years the three towns had a combined population of 8 , 000 . cornish miners - world famous for their skill over thousands of years - flocked to the area . under mine manager ' captain ' hr hancock , the towns of the northern yorke peninsula came to be not only ' the copper triangle ' but also ' little cornwall ' , as hughes and hancock imported thousands more miners direct from cornwall . when mining collapsed in 1923 , the cartoonist and former mine captain , oswald pryor , made the yorke peninsula ' s cornish - australian miners world famous through his ' cousin jack ' and ' cousin jenny ' cartoons .
a similar mixed set of outlooks existed in religious circles . although the cornish miners under the pious captain hancock formed a community who were 80 per cent methodist church members , the peninsula was also the home of a strong catholic community with an early convent school at kadina in the care of mary mackillop ' s josephite nuns . at wallaroo a group of welsh miners established a welsh speaking congregational church . an array of visiting evangelists contributed to often spectacular religious revivals . the cornish were proud of their strong historic associations with wesleyan methodism and replicated larger versions of their chapels on the soil of australia which were funded by the local mineral wealth . but despite the strength of teetotal methodism , kadina witnessed two ' beer strikes ' protesting at the local price of alcohol , in 1902 and 1920 . and wallaroo was the home of the only south australian woman ever to be sentenced to death - the accidental murderer , elizabeth woolcock .
cornish stock was imported into north america , where they provided genetic material for the meaty broiler chickens . continued selection for broad breasts has increased the percentage of the body that is white meat , the part of the chicken that is prized most by north americans . the story of the development of the chicken meat industry shows how chickens have moved from one continent to another and how humans have changed the function of the chicken in the process ( latshaw & musharaf ) .
but at the same time , this freedom comes with a cost . and the cost is you ' re increasingly locked into the decisions of the company whose platform you use . and so the headphone jack , which - let ' s face it - is just another plug to plug things into , become symbolic of apple ' s constantly changing products . and i think it ' s a little disturbing to people because it ' s a reminder that they ' re really not in control of their media lives .
paleontologist jack horner in 2003 unearthed a tyrannosaurus rex that lived 68 million years ago in montana and recovered a still - elastic blood vessel from inside a fractured thigh bone fossil . recent phylogenetic analyses of this isolated tissue by a team of scientists reveals that the closest living relative of t . rex is none other than the domestic chicken . of seven decoded amino acid sequences from the collagen molecules , three matched chicken uniquely . another matched frog uniquely , one matched newt uniquely , and a few matched multiple sequences .
sterne : yeah , 1888 is the first switchboard . and the idea basically is you ' d pick up your phone at home . it would connect you to an operator who was wearing some kind of headset . and then you ' d tell him who you wanted to call , and they ' d plug a cable with two quarter - inch plugs on - one on each end . they ' d plug one into a jack for your phone and one for the phone of the person you wanted to be connected to .
the office alum krasinski plays the drama’s titular hero , who is at the beginning of his career . the series will follow “an up - and - coming cia analyst thrust into a dangerous field assignment for the first time , ” according to the official logline . the 10 - episode jack ryan , which received a straight - to - series order , “follows ryan as he uncovers a pattern in terrorist communication that launches him into the center of a dangerous gambit with a new breed of terrorism that threatens destruction on a global scale . ”

the sport of cockfighting developed in asia . this sport is one in which birds are paired and they fight to the death . big muscular birds had an advantage in this sport than smaller birds . winning birds provided the breeding stock , so fighting cocks naturally became bigger over the centuries . indian fighting cocks were imported into england and were the basis for old english bird stocks , also used for fighting . they , in turn , provided the basic genetic material for the cornish breed , a chicken with extreme muscling that resulted in a broad breast .
in cornwall , a “spine” of granite runs the full length of the county just beneath the surface . the spine becomes visible on the tors of bodmin moor , carn brea and west penwith . around each granite margin there is a ring of baked rock in which there are vertical mineral lodes containing tin ore . since pre – historic times people have been extracting and trading this tin . derelict engine houses and other remnants of a one time prosperous tin mining industry are commonplace on the cornish landscape . growing up in cornwall these ruins formed a large part of my childhood playgrounds .
last week mike dash told a tale of high seas adventure that put me in mind of another , somewhat earlier one . not that anne bonny and mary read had much in common with kindly old david o’keefe—they were pirates , for one thing , as renowned for their ruthlessness as for their gender , and during their short careers challenged the sailors’ adage that a woman’s presence on shipboard invites bad luck . indeed , were it not for bonny and read , john “calico jack” rackam’s crew would’ve suffered indignity along with defeat during its final adventure in the caribbean . but more on that in a moment…

but the peninsula was not only the home of cornish copper miners . the large runs of the wealthy pastoralists were gradually broken up and turned into smaller farms to meet the demand for agricultural land . from the 1870s agriculture became a vital component of peninsula life and was increasingly important as world copper prices fell and the affluence of mining slowly dissipated . the tiny towns and settlements of the peninsula clung onto existence through barley and wheat crops . a bustling coastal trade was built up around the export of grain to port adelaide , and the import and later production of superphosphate . gypsum and limestone quarrying were significant industries on the lower peninsula .
sterne : well , i think it ' s a couple of things . one is with any kind of plugger jack - i mean , the same thing with the outlets in your wall - anything you can do to standardize is really useful unless you control the market . so if you want to make a new kind of transistor radio , and somebody ' s already invested in a good earphone , although they weren ' t very good , you ' d want yours to work with their earphone . and that ' s why other formats , like usb , as well , because people want to be able to plug their stuff into the other stuff that they have .
anne , meanwhile , spent most of her time drinking at local saloons and seducing pirates ; in a general history , johnson contends that she was “not altogether so reserved in point of chastity , ” and that james bonny once “surprised her lying in a hammock with another man . ” anne grew especially enamored of one paramour , john “calico jack” rackam , so - called due to his affinity for garish clothing , and left bonny to join rackam’s crew . one legend holds that she launched her pirating career with an ingenious ploy , creating a “corpse” by mangling the limbs of a dressmaker’s mannequin and smearing it with fake blood . when the crew of a passing french merchant ship spotted anne wielding an ax over her creation , they surrendered their cargo without a fight .
calico jack rackam was scheduled to be executed by hanging on november 18 , and his final request was to see anne . she had but one thing to say to him : “if you had fought like a man , you need not have been hang’d like a dog . ” ten days later , she and mary stood trial at the admiralty court in st . jago de la vega , jamaica , both of them pleading not guilty to all charges . the most convincing witness was one dorothy thomas , whose canoe had been robbed of during one of the pirates’ sprees . she stated that anne and mary threatened to kill her for testifying against them , and that “the reason of her knowing and believing them to be women then was by the largeness of their breasts . ”
mary resumed her life as a man and sailed for the west indies on a dutch ship , which was soon captured by english pirates . the crew , believing mary to be a fellow englishman , encouraged her to join them . calico jack rackam served as the quartermaster of her new crew , and he , along with his shipmates , never suspected mary’s true gender . she was aggressive and ruthless , always ready for a raid , and swore , well , like a drunken sailor . she was “very profligate , ” recalled one of her victims , “cursing and swearing much . ” loose clothing hid her breasts , and no one thought twice about her lack of facial hair ; her mates , most of them in their teens or early twenties , were also smooth - faced . it’s also likely that mary suffered from stress and poor diet while serving in the army , factors that could have interrupted or paused her menstrual cycle .

justification : this species has a wide distribution , with no known major widespread threats . it is therefore listed as least concern . it has also been assessed regionally as least concern for central , eastern , north eastern , southern and western africa .
this species has a very wide distribution area and is present in most parts of sub - saharan africa . central africa : mormyrops anguilloides is known from throughout the congo river basin . elsewhere , it is known from the lower guinea region , distributed in the sanaga river basin , in the nyong , the lokoundjé and the cross . eastern africa : it is known from the lake albert basin , and albert nile , as well as from the malagarasi river and lake tanganyika . it is also known from lake malawi . in kenya it has been recorded from the northern ewaso nyiro system ( seegers et al . 2004 ) but this is probably not correct . an uncertain record of m . anguilloides from the athi river basin discussed by okeyo ( 1998 ) is unsubstantiated ( seegers et al . 2004 ) . northeast africa : this species is present in the ghazal and jebel systems , white nile , and the blue nile to lake nasser ( also known as lake nubia ) . it also occurs in the wabi shebelle basin , ethiopia . southern africa : in southern africa it is restricted to the middle and lower zambezi and the buzi and pungwe rivers ( skelton 2001 ) . western africa : m . anguilloides has a very wide distribution area and is present in the most parts of west african basins .
this is a demersal , potamodromous species . this species inhabits rivers and river mouths . juveniles are found in marginal habitats whereas adults prefer deep quiet water and estuaries away from strong currents ( tweddle and willoughby , 1982 ) . it also occurs beneath salvinia mats and in river estuaries in lake kariba . juveniles prey on invertebrates , mainly shrimps and insect larvae , whilst larger individuals feed on small cichlids , minnows and labeos . it breeds during the rainy season ( skelton 1993 ) and is a fractional spawner ( alberet 1982 , kirschbaum 1995 ) .
in eastern africa this species is threatened by fisheries and environmental disturbance . intense fishing pressure with gill nets in certain areas of the lower zambezi probably affects this species .

i bought this little guy last week . he is about 4
and awesome ! he eats live tubies , bloodworms , massivore , krill , and shrimp . but i can ' t hardly find any information about him . what i have read has mixed opinions about tankmates , mine is with a bunch of other fish in a 40 and is doing fine so far . i also read that they grow slooooooow , like 1
a year
i would really like to hear about anyones personal experience and any information they might have . especially anything having to do with increasing that pathetic growth rate .
live prey always seems to make some fishes grow faster , so maybe try having small feeders that have been quarantined and gut - loaded in its aquarium at all times .
really ? it seems to me fish that are fed prepared foods grow faster and are healthier . he loves massivore , and eats more of that than anything else . also , hes in with 3 pb , so feeders would not be an option .

mormyrus anguilloides linnaeus 1758 was described from the nile river . the species as presently recognised has a wide african distribution . taxonomic assessment of the many distinct regional populations is needed . additional synonyms from central and western africa .
snoeks , j . , marshall , b . , impson , d . , da costa , l . , bills , r . , swartz , e . , engelbrecht , j . , cambray , j . , skelton , p . h . , terry , s . , tweddle , d . & darwall , w . ( iucn freshwater biodiversity unit ) ( west cape province workshop , south africa 2006 ) .
justification : a widespread species in the lower and middle zambezi and also in lake malawi . no information is available concerning population sizes , declines or fluctuations . catches by fishermen indicate that it is present throughout its range but rarely abundant . it is assessed as least concern .
the species is widespread in north , west , central and southern africa . nile , congo and zambezi rivers , lakes tanganyika and malawi .
intense fishing pressure with gill nets in certain areas of the lower zambezi probably affects this species .
if you wish to hunt rabbits and hares , you will need to obtain a small game hunting permit .
colour : grey brown with paler underside . infrequently black , ginger and silver - grey colours encountered . eyes brown . tips of ears narrow black rim .
social behaviour : in high density populations rabbits live in a complex of underground burrows ( warren ' s ) and in lower numbers above ground cover . home range about 1 ha .
reproduction : timing , litter frequency and size dependent on habitat conditions with productivity as high as 45 to 50 kittens ( young rabbits ) per year in good areas , down to around 20 in poorer areas , average litter five . kittens are born blind in underground burrows and emerge at about 3 weeks old .
colour : mottled black and fawn on upper surface with tawny sides . belly is pure white . eyes yellow . ears black patch at the tip .
reproduction : leverets ( young hares ) are born above ground fully covered in a thick coat of pile hair and with open eyes . average litter size 2 with 4 litters per year .
nomenclature : rabbits : male = buck . female = doe . young = kit . hares : male = buck . female = doe . young = leveret .
the department of conservation ( doc ) has limited opportunities for hunting rabbits and hares . contact the doc office nearest the hunting area about opportunities and permit requirements etc .
much of the suitable habitat is on private land and you need permission from the landowner .
distribution : rabbits occupy most suitable habitat in new zealand from the coast to 1000 m in the south island and to above the bushline in the north island . although less abundant than they used to be rabbits are still plentiful in central otago , the mckenzie basin , north canterbury and marlborough .
habitat preference : ideally an annual rainfall of less than 1000 mm with light soils , sunny aspect and good cover close to feeding grounds . favoured habitats include coastal dunelands , dry stony riverbeds , limestone hills and sunny coastal faces .
distribution : hares can be found throughout the north and south islands of new zealand occupying suitable habitat from sea level to 2000 m . areas where hares are not found include parts of south westland , fiordland and an area from auckland north about 80 km .
habitat preference : all kinds of grassland or open country . favoured areas include coastal sand dunes , pasture , rush covered areas and clearings in scrub or forest .
small calibre rifles . 22 rim fire ( often with subsonic ammunition and suppressed rifles ) or shotguns .
note : hunting rabbits and hares on doc administered land is subject to a
small game permit
which in some locations permits . 22 rimfire and shotgun use that is not normally allowed .
late afternoon until dark , when rabbits and hares out feeding , best time to hunt .
unless jump shooting , stake out likely areas in late afternoon until dark when rabbits will emerge from cover for feeding .
during daylight hours , hares spend much of their time crouched in an oval depression referred to as a form .
when hunting , keep alert as hares will often break from the form just before being stood on .
hares will often clip vegetation with a characteristic 45 o cut and leave the tip of the plant nearby .
faecal pellets shaped like flattened spheres , 15 mm x 10 mm in size with a slight tail on one side ( larger , paler and more fibrous than rabbits and tend to be scattered ) .
hare sign indicator of hare presence and worth staking out or hunting through area .
in new zealand , there is no seasonal restriction to hunting rabbits or hares meaning generally they can be hunted throughout the year . there are however , instances where restrictions apply for specific reasons and periods when hunting is favoured .
some areas may be closed during periods of high fire danger or high public use .
not a common occurrence but an area may be closed on a temporary basis to enable research or other management to be undertaken without being compromised by hunting .
it is important to check for these conditions with the doc office nearest the hunting area .
if you wish to hunt rabbits and hares on public conservation land , you will need to obtain a small game hunting permit from doc .
it restricts hunting of rabbits and hares ( which are unprotected game animals ) to specific areas and times .
the permit ( if areas are available ) can be obtained from the doc office nearest the hunting area .
