Pisodonophis semicinctus

provided by wikipedia EN

Pisodonophis semicinctus is an eel in the family Ophichthidae (worm/snake eels).[1] First described by John Richardson in 1848.[2], it is a marine, subtropical eel which is known in the eastern Atlantic Ocean from Gibraltar to Angola. It was first recorded in the Mediterranean Sea in 1958 off Algeria and is now found on both shores of the western Basin.[3] It dwells at a depth range of 10 to 30 m and inhabits the continental shelf, where it forms burrows in sand and mud. Males can reach a maximum total length of 80 cm, but more commonly reach a TL of 60 cm.[1]

P. semicinctus is of commercial interest to fisheries.[1] Its diet consists of mollusks and benthic crustaceans.[4]

Pisodonophis semicinctus ( Italian )

provided by wikipedia IT

Il Pisodonophis semicinctus, noto in italiano come miro leopardo, è un pesce osseo marino della famiglia Ophichthidae.

Distribuzione e habitat

Vive nell'Oceano Atlantico orientale lungo la fascia tropicale e subtropicale africana e penetra nel mar Mediterraneo occidentale dove è raro. Nelle acque italiane è riportata solo una cattura nelle acque toscane del mar Tirreno settentrionale[1] ed una nel Canale di Sicilia[2].

Vive nel piano infralitorale tra 10 e 30 metri di profondità, su fondali sabbiosi.

Descrizione

Come tutti gli anguilliformi ha corpo serpentiforme ed è privo delle pinne ventrali. L'aspetto generale ricorda quello degli altri Ophichthidae come il miro o il pesce serpente ma ha corpo più alto. La pinna caudale è assente e la punta della coda è nuda ed irrigidita. I denti sono arrotondati e non appuntiti.

La livrea è molto caratteristica e consente una facile identificazione della specie, grigio giallastro con 15-18 chiazze circolari nere sul dorso, molto definite. La testa è coperta di punti scuri più piccoli.

Misura fino ad 80 cm.

Biologia

Poco nota.
