triglidae/mullidae[επεξεργασία κώδικα]
Hello, I´m writing from Catalonia, I can read Greek but I don´t have a greek keyboard...
the correct genus of μπαρμπούνι is mullidae not triglidae (the box on the right has the correct genus). The source of the confusion is an ancient one and was already noted by Cuvier. I copy and paste an explanation I´ve found in the web:
An interesting source of confusion arose when (..) Linnaeus,finding that the red mullet had been classed with the gurnards in a single genus, rightly decided to separate them.In doing so he left the name mullus to the red mullets, and transferred trigla to the gurnards (..),contrary to the ancient usage
