Serioline fishes (yellowtails: amberjacks) from the Western Indian Ocean

- Smith, J.L.B. (James Leonard Brierley), 1897-1968

  • Authors: Smith, J.L.B. (James Leonard Brierley), 1897-1968
  • Date: 1959
  • Subjects: Seriola , Yellowtail
  • Language: English
  • Type: Text
  • Identifier: vital:14977 , http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1018776 , Ichthyological Bulletin; No. 15
  • Description: Among the most esteemed by the big game angler, these fishes are of world-wide distribution, and the various species (commonly named “Yellowtail” in South Africa), are all built on much the same plan, the caudal lunate, the dorsal and anal fins long and mostly low. All are powerful swimmers, presumably able to cover vast distances, and within each genus and subgenus the different species do not differ widely from one another. As a result, there has been a general tendency for systematists to identify species, even in remote parts, with those already known. The literature reveals astonishingly few detailed original descriptions of these fishes, and there has been a regrettable tendency merely to reproduce early illustrations that are technically good, rather than to provide originals of actual specimens, which has caused widespread confusion. Two genera are treated here, viz. Seriola Cuvier, 1817 and the monotypic Seriolina Wakiya, 1924; Zonichthys Swainson, 1839 is regarded as Atlantic only, while the pelagic monotypic Naucrates Rafinesque, 1810 is so well known as scarcely to need inclusion here. , Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)

  • Description: "Get out of the way. Don't be frightened by gossip, girls, gossip is always a storm in a village. Don't change your abode just because somebody says he loves you. You will find people like that wherever you go. A woman is a dog for whom everybody wants to die." The last line seems to mean that just as an owner is ready to die for his dog should anyone molest it, so a man is ready to die for a woman should she be attacked. The player placed an empty condensed milk tin picked up off the ground nearby, over the free end of the harmonica, vibrating it to and from as far as his mouth position would allow, thus producing not only greater resonance to his own ear but a vibrato as well. Self delectative song, with harmonica.
