And Gar knows the price he will have to pay.

Richard never once saw the gar at any other time.

"I can imagine anyone trying to keep Gar from doing what he thought right!"

But then why the look of shock when Gar saw him?

He had enough vision, though, to see the gar coming.

Little or not, Richard thought, it is still a gar.

How could he deny the same thing to the gar?

She went through the house and out into the gar den.

A gar, for example, would not be changed by my touch.

What you have said is safe with me; but, by Gar!

The gar disappeared into the blue heat and was gone.

You know where this is leading: of course Gar has a secret.

Gar knew that they would not be able to endure this long.

Gar had shown many times that he could make hard decisions.

If Gar saw this, that would be enough to make him fearful.

One gar would be trouble enough, or have you forgotten so quickly.

Why did they want so badly to kill the gar?

Gar nodded; that seemed to explain a lot to him.

It was actually no more than five minutes that Gar remained standing thus.

Gar came into the room from the hall, peered around as though looking for someone, left.

I am only myself again, the man you knew as Gar."

But as Gar read further, he discovered another aspect of the situation.

At this stage in their life the gar are most vulnerable.

For every bird a gar caught out of the air, a hundred took its place.

Took away our way of life, The garfish gig and the gator knife.

Many of the common names of the European garfish are also applied to the American species.

A popular dish is local baked fillet of garfish with celery and clove sauce.

Garfish inhabited the local lakes while magnolias grew in the floodplains between rivers.

Garfish was laid down by the Moran Company of Seattle, Washington.

Garfish are eaten fried, baked, barbecued or smoked.

From the North Sea, garfish migrate to shallow waters in April and May.

The freshwater garfish is one of several of needlefish species kept in public and home aquaria.

Few Todak (Garfish) can also be seen jumping on the surface during ebb tide.

Garfish are pelagic.

The garfish are oviparous and the eggs are often found attached to objects in the water by tendrils on the egg's surface.

Garfish and eel tailed catfish occur naturally.

Garfish Music is a jingle house based in the Flatiron District of Manhattan.

Mangrove marine life includes shrimp, mudskipper, mullet, grouper and garfish.

She was of the French Navy on a friendly call and had the lean and wicked appearance of a garfish.

Fish that are common and can be taken with a hand spear include Flounder, Flathead and Garfish.

Garfish Restaurants is a seafood restaurant with 3 locations in the Sydney, Australia area that offers lunch and dinner.

Garfish (longnose)

The garfish is a long, slender fish, looking like a spear, which feeds on seagrass fragments, shrimps and crab larvae.

Examples of shallow water pelagic fish, found in both tropical and temperate waters around the world, are grey mullet, sprats and garfish.

Previously confused with the Garfish (Belone belone).

The ceremonies included fasting, bathing, the ingestion of cathartic medicine, and ritual scratching of the skin with the teeth of the garfish.

In the garfish (Belone belone) and related species, the bones are bright green because of biliverdin.

Freshwater garfish (Xenentodon cancila)

Zenarchopterus alleni (Allen's river garfish)

Laboratory facilities are immediately adjacent to the lake, and only a hundred feet from the site at which we trapped garpike in spawning condition.

Occasionally he caught sight of a big garpike slithering past on the way to its spawning ground upriver.

Much of the description of early embryonic development in the garpike is based on material that was badly distorted by harsh fixation procedures.

From a phylogenetic point of view, the garpike ysl marks its first evolutionary appearance in the actinopterygian fishes.

This phenomenon led to some confusion in 19 thcentury literature concerning whether garpike cleavage is holoblastic or meroblastic.

However, only one or two garpike cleavage furrows even extend to the vegetal pole, and these are nothing more than shallow grooves in the yolk cell cortex.

In specialised cichlid aquaria, tilapia can be mixed successfully with nonterritorial cichlids, armored catfish, tinfoil barbs, garpike and other robust and dangerous fish.

This normal series of developmental stages partly is a contribution to the body of science, and partly is a common reference point that will enable other investigators to use the garpike in their own laboratories.

Discussion The bowfin, Amia calva, and the garpike, Lepisosteus osseus, are frequently compared to each other in their anatomical characters, as they are both basal actinopterygians.

The appearance in garpike of structures appearing similar to the sturgeon's dorsal lip raises the possibility that invagination and involution of surface cells to the interior actually happens in Lepisosteus.

We hope that this catalogue and description of the developmental sequence in the garpike, and our notations of comparison to other fishes, will spur further investigation into the embryology of these remarkable animals.

The longnose gar, Lepisosteus osseus, also known as the garpike, is one of four living species of its genus within the Osteichthyian division Ginglymodi (infraclass Neopterygii).

Garpike have three developmental characters that immediately separate them from bowfin: 1) they show meroblastic cleavage, 2) they possess a well-defined yolk syncytial layer, and 3) events of gastrulation produce a pit associated with the dorsal blastoderm margin.

In American English the name gar (or garpike) is strictly applied to members of the Lepisosteidae, a family including seven living species of fish in two genera that inhabit fresh, brackish, and occasionally marine, waters of eastern North America, Central America, and the Caribbean islands.

While belonging to the same family as the marine needlefish known in Europe as gar or garpike, Belone belone, these fish are much more distantly related to other fishes sometimes called gars (such as the North American Gars and South American pike characins).

An initial view of Lepisosteus would lead one to draw a similar conclusion for this fish.

Therefore, its presence in Lepisosteus raises interesting questions about its role there.

Lepisosteus is a genus of gars in the family Lepisosteidae.

The name Lepisosteus is Greek for "bony scale".

Until relatively recently all gars have generally been classified in the genus Lepisosteus .

Macuspana's dishes are often based on ingredients from the area's rivers such as bass, turtle and Lepisosteus.

Gars are found across all of North America (for example Lepisosteus osseus).

The following information has been created as a monitoring plan for the longnose gar (Lepisosteus osseus).

Lepisosteus (the gar)

Lepisosteus oculatus (Spotted gar)

Lepisosteus platyrhincus (Florida gar)

Genus: Lepisosteus (slender gars)

In Greek, Lepisosteus translates to "bony scale," and platostomus translates to "broad mouth."

The longnose gar, Lepisosteus osseus, is a primitive ray-finned fish of the gar family.

The genus name Lepisosteus comes from the Greek lepis meaning "scale" and osteon meaning "bone".

Lepisosteus osseus (Longnose gar)

Lepisosteus platostomus (Shortnose gar)

The spotted gar Lepisosteus oculatus is a part of the Gar family (Lepisosteidae).

Texas Parks and Wildlife: Spotted Gar (Lepisosteus oculatus)

Three species formerly classified in Lepisosteus (tropical gar, Cuban gar and alligator gar) are now assigned to the genus Atractosteus.

Typical dishes include those with iguana meat, Lepisosteus fish, beef puchero, smoked oysters, totopostes, pork with beans and tortillas made with banana and fresh corn.

Predation upon adult specimens of Noturus miurus is primarily from upper trophic-level aquatic predators such as Lepisosteus osseus (longnose gar).

Their size, feeding habits, and seasonal spawning cycle make Lepisosteus embryos generally unsuitable for rapid progress through experiments, as is possible for organisms like the zebrafish, Danio rerio.

The appearance in garpike of structures appearing similar to the sturgeon's dorsal lip raises the possibility that invagination and involution of surface cells to the interior actually happens in Lepisosteus.
