Peacock bass is the common name in English for a group of closely related species of tropical, freshwater fish of the genus ''Cichla.'' ==Taxonomic and common names== There are 15 known species of peacock bass, others will surely be described (but see the results based on DNA data). Their common names vary greatly depending on the country, region, stage of development and local anglers. Below is a complete list of the taxonomic, binomial names for these cichlids, along with available English common names.〔(Info on peacock bass species )〕 * ''Cichla intermedia'' (royal peacock bass) * ''Cichla jariina'' (Jari peacock bass) * ''Cichla kelberi'' (kelberi peacock bass) * ''Cichla monoculus'' (monoculus peacock bass) * ''Cichla melaniae'' (Xingu peacock bass) * ''Cichla mirianae'' (Tapajós peacock bass) * ''Cichla nigromaculata'' * ''Cichla ocellaris'' (butterfly peacock bass or butterly peacock cichlid) * ''Cichla orinocensis'' (orino or orinocensis peacock bass) * ''Cichla pinima'' (spotted peacock bass) * ''Cichla piquiti'' (blue peacock bass) * ''Cichla pleiozona'' * ''Cichla temensis'' (speckled peacock bass, but three-barred peacock bass while spawning) * ''Cichla thyrorus'' (Trombetas peacock bass) * ''Cichla vazzoleri'' (Vazzoler's peacock bass) Extensive molecular data has cast doubt on these designations, however.〔 Aside from limited hybridization among many species, in both natural and human-altered environments, several species do not show sufficient differentiation to imply reproductive isolation and/or a history of independent evolution. Among the species implicated as probable "good" species were ''Cichla intermedia'', ''C. orinocensis'', ''C. temensis'', ''C. melaniae'', ''C. mirianae'', and ''C. piquiti''. The other species were suggested to be part of two widespread meta-species or species complexes, called ''Cichla pinima sensu lato'' (including ''C. jariina'', ''C. thyrorus'', and ''C. vazzoleri'') and ''C. ocellaris sensu lato'' (including ''C. monoculus'', ''C. nigromaculata'', ''C. pleiozona'', and ''C. kelberi''). There are many common names for these fish in Brazil, the country of their largest native region. The most popular of these is ''tucunaré'' (too-koo-nah-REH). In Spanish, the generic common name for these cichlids is ''pavόn'' (pah-VOHN). Both of these names mean "peacock" in their respective languages. 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「Peacock bass」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
