Anisotremus virginicus

Anisotremus virginicus, the porkfish, is a species of grunt native to the western Atlantic Ocean from Florida to Brazil and the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. This nocturnal species inhabits areas of reef or with rocky substrates at depths of from 2 to 20 metres (6.6 to 65.6 ft). It can reach a length of 40.6 centimetres (16.0 in) TL though most do not exceed 25 centimetres (9.8 in). It is of minor importance as a commercial food fish and is also popular as a game fish though it is reported to sometimes contain the ciguatera toxin. It is also a popular fish in public aquariums.[2]

Anisotremus from the Greek, anisos = unequal and from the Greek, trema, -atos = hole.[3]

gollark: Your idea of "run the thing backward" is quite obvious to anyone who looks at the problem. There have been many people looking at the problem. So if it worked someone would have proved collatz now.
gollark: <@!714406501346967572> 0.4 offense, but if you could easily prove the Collatz conjecture with relatively simple maths someone already would have,
gollark: I assume the 0/1/infinite solution thing is from something something linear algebra.
gollark: Ah. So the matrix maps the values of all the variables to the outputs of each equation, and the same output can be attained in multiple ways sometimes.
gollark: No, I mean how do you use that to get intuition for number of solutions of some equations.
