Paul Matte (1854–1922) was a German tropical fish expert, importer, and fish breeder, and was a pioneer in the importing and breeding of the first tropical fish species to reach Europe. He lived in Berlin-Lankwitz, Germany.〔(Goldfish & Co. the first ornamental fishes by Peter Hoffmann )〕 In 1866 he imported the first goldfish (''Carassius auratus'') to Germany from Japan, and the offspring were referred to as the "Matte-strain".〔K. Stansch: ''Die exotischen Zierfische in Wort und Bild.'' 1914, Gustav Wenzel & Sohn, S. 72, S. 76, S. 137, S. 161, S. 196, S. 232 ((Online ))〕 He was the first to breed the Paradise fish and Siamese fighting fish in Germany. In 1896 he imported ten pairs of Siamese fighting fish (''Betta splendens'') to Germany from Moscow, from the strain bred by Pierre Carbonnier in France.〔(Schleierkampffische: Zuchtformen des Siamesischen Kämpfers )〕〔(Betta splendens, av Kaycy Ruffer )〕 In 1897 he imported and bred the first specimens of the banded gourami (''Trichogaster fasciata'') to Europe. In 1905 he imported the first zebrafish (''Danio rerio'') to Europe.〔(Bärblinge – Danio, Devario & Co. )〕 Matte was the first to import both sexes of swordtail (''Xiphophorus hellerii'').〔(Xiphophorus helleri Heckel, av ZygmuntLorec )〕 The characin ''Hemigrammus matei'' is named after Paul Matte, since he delivered the first specimens to the author Carl H. Eigenmann, who described the species in 1918.〔(Freshwater fishes of Argentina: Etymologies of species names dedicated to persons, av Stefan Koerber )〕〔(The ETYFish Project )〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paul Matte」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
