Species
There are currently three recognized species in this genus:[1]
- Stegophilus insidiosus Reinhardt, 1859
- Stegophilus panzeri (Ahl, 1931)
- Stegophilus septentrionalis Myers, 1927
S. insidiosus originates from the São Francisco River basin in Brazil, S. panzeri is from the lower Amazon River basin in Brazil, and S. septentrionalis is from Orinoco River basin in Venezuela.[2] Stegophilus species grow to between 4.1–4.4 centimetres (1.6–1.7 in) SL.[3][4] S. insidiosus is a true parasite living in the gill chambers of larger fishes, including catfishes like Sorubim lima; it uses its strong teeth to bite into the gill filaments to suck the blood.[5]
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.
gollark: I've seen it with intersecting lines/planes(/hyperplanes), how does it work to interpret it as a transformation?
gollark: I don't think it tries to clarify the actual underlying foundational stuff much.
gollark: This is basically the last bit of a chapter containing various integration methods.
