What's the difference between caranx and hardtail?
Caranx
Definition:
(n.) A genus of fishes, common on the Atlantic coast, including the yellow or golden mackerel.
Example Sentences:
(1) A monolayer culture of fibroblast-like cells was initiated and established from a trypsin digest of Omaka fish larvae (Caranx mate).
(2) The stick enzyme immunoassay (S-EIA) using monoclonal antibody to ciguatoxin (MAb-CTX) was used to examine clinically implicated fish and to pre-screen two species of fish, Caranx sp.
(3) Consumption of surgeon fish (Ctenochaetus strigosus), amberjack (Seriola dumerili) and jack (Caranx sp.)
(4) Cigautoxins (CTX) were extracted from flesh and viscera of seven large roving predatory fishes: Caranx bartholomaei, Caranx latus, Seriola dumerili, Alectis crinitus, Scomberomorus cavalla, Sphyraena barracuda and Gymnothorax funebris.
(5) No correlation between toxicity and species size or diet was demonstrated since five of the six highly ciguatoxic species Seriola dumerili, Caranx latus, Caranx bartholomaei, Caranx ruber and Scomberomorus cavalla are large roving predators feeding mainly on fishes while the last species (Alphestes afer) is a benthic resident of very small size (less than 300 g) which feeds mainly on invertebrates.
(6) A total of 13 species of examined fishes were found with Anisakis larvae, these were Argyrosomus argentatus, Caranx djeddaba, Diploprion bifasciatum, Evynnis cardinalis, Lethrinus haematopterus, Megalops cyprinoides, Nemipterus virgatus, Paraplagusia formosana, Plectorhinchus pictus, Rastrelliger chrysozonus, Saurida tumbil, Scolopsis vosmeri, and Trichiurus haumela.
(7) A female dracunculoid, Philometra sp., invaded a puncture wound in a fisherman's hand while he was filleting an infected carangidae fish, Caranx melampygus, in Hawaii.
(8) Major results concern: (1) high risk species (Caranx bartholomaei, C. lugubris, Lutjanus apodus, L. jocu, Gymnothorax funebris, G. moringa, Mycteroperca venenosa, M. tigris, Epinephelus morio, Sphyraena barracuda); (2) intermediate species (Caranx latus, C. ruber, Lutjanus buccanella); (3) low risk species (Balistes vetula, Haemulon album, Priacantus arenatus, Alphestes afer).
(9) Intermediate species: Caranx latus, C. ruber, Lachnolaimus maximus, Lutjanus analis, L. buccanella, L. griseus, Malacanthus plumieri, Scomberomorus maculatus.
(10) Observations of intoxications give the following results: High risk species: Caranx bartholomaei, C. lugubris, Seriola dumerili, Lutjanus apodus, L. jocu, Pristipomoides macrophtalmus, Gymnothorax funebris, G. moringa, Scomberomorus cavalla, S. regalis, Mycteroperca venenosa, M. tigris, Epinephelus morio, Sphyraena barracuda.
