Talk:Old wife

message: :A fisherman's name, Old wife (plural: Old Wives), refers to the sound it makes when caught, caused by it grinding its teeth.[1][2] The vernacular names include Bastard dory, derived from the french doré (golden), and Zebra-tail or -fish.[3]
The derivation from dore was certainly not in source [3], and more likely comes directly from the general fish name dory (which has its own article which is the better place for tracing the term right back through the romance languages). It's hardly as if this species has the particularly gilded look about it.
"Old wife", is hardly just "a fisherman's name" but rather the standard name as explicitly asserted by the natural museum of Australia.
What [3] does point out is that zebra-tail is a solely US name. And hence innappropriate for an article about an Australian fish, unless we're also going to make a fuss about the Chinese and French names for it (given by the same source). 
The scientific names, like enoplosidae, also lack explanation. When was it established to be a unique family? Clearly it was originally taken to belong to one particular variety (Chaetodon) of butterfly fish. The enoplosus appears to be attributed to white by Lacepede, but that is unclear (and still doesn't address enoplosidae)..
:named and described these in a journal called Journal of a Voyage to New South Wales, which was published in 1790. John White included 64 drawings of the animals and plants he observed (these drawings are thought to be done by Thomas Watling, a Scottish convict artist who was transported for forging a bank note). In Dr White’s species description of the fish, the word armatus refers to this fish’s armour, the venomous long spines on the dorsal fins that can cause pain, swelling and discomfort if a person is stung with them. This fish was renamed Enoplosus armatus in 1802 by the French scientist Bernard Germain de Lacepede and this scientific name has remained since that time. 
:Lacepede quotes the name Enoplosus from White. We have not seen this paper, and the name may have been first printed by Lacepede. 
Turns out that enoplos is greek for weapon (and thus is probably a reiteration of the species name, since armatus is latin for armor/soldier/armed-man. Maybe what Lacepede meant is that he was giving the name White chose, but giving it in a different language in order to place it in an original genus for the first time. Although why not just call it armatus armatus?). Another issue this raises is the venom of the barbs, which sources seem to vary in their mention of. Did someone on White's ship happen to be injured by this fish? Cesiumfrog (talk) 05:38, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Orbicular batfish

message: There are several things wrong with this article.
#The picture is not of an Orbiculate Batfish
#The "tail" is not 20% of the body length. The dorsal and anal fins, combined, are roughly 30% of the body length.
#No fish should be smaller in captivity. If provided with appropriate conditions any fish will acheive full size. If not, the fish is stunted, and if severe enough will die a painful, premature death.Drew Smith   What I've done 07:15, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

message: "Snake mackerel are perciform fishes in the family Gempylidae." That's nice to know, but it leaves me wondering whether "snake mackerel" is actually synonymous with "Gempylidae."

thread_title:  Copyright problem removed 

message: At the end of the last introductory paragraph, there is an incongruous bit about escolar being fraudulently sold in a similar way to oilfish.
There is a link to the subsection "Escolar Substitution for Tuna" on the page of "Applied Food Technologies". However, there is no such thing. In addition, the article I am brought to has a very "promotory" tone.
I did find articles online linking them to operations to screen for mislabeled escolar, however I feel that a better approach would be to link to the subsection on the actual page on it: Escolar#Mislabeling. I would also like to rephrase the reference to connect it more with the topic of the article.
I (or somebody else) might make these small changes on February 5, if nobody objects.
(Also, first post; sorry for any formatting blunders)

thread_title:  Disambiguating software reference 

message: Mojarra seems too ambiguous to be the title of this article. Although it may be understood to mean Gerreidae in the ichthyological literature, and FishBase gives it as the common name of that family, in common usage small-to-medium-sized freshwater cichlids may even be the predominant referent. Have a look, for example, at Google image search results for the word. Ordering mojarra at a restaurant in California will get you a tilapia (whatever kind of tilapiine cichlid is common on the market around here).  When I was researching angling possibilities for a vacation in Costa Rica, many guides referred (in English) to mojarra as a common freshwater catch without any reference to an ambiguity, and associated images when they appeared were unambiguously of small cichlids. Since most of these species live in predominantly Spanish-speaking places, I might guess that searching after a Spanish name or an English borrowing of one is likely to be the reason many or most visitors to this page got here, and the cichlid meaning seems clearly to be the predominant one in Spanish. Cichlids form the great majority of species listed in Fishbase with the common Spanish name of mojarra, and the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy gives as the primary (and only ichthyological) definition of the word what appears to be a description of a tilapia. Links to this page from others in Wikipedia seem to be about evenly split between those referring to saltwater and freshwater fish (when it can be ascertained). 
I suggest that Gerreidae is not the unambiguous primary meaning of the word mojarra and this page would be better moved to Gerreidae and Mojarra used as disambiguation.
