Hello all!
I am a scientist (postdoc) at the University of Chicago who is interested in studying the genetics and development of anglers. To carry out my work, I need very particular species (listed below) and am striking out with the usual suppliers. I thought I'd turn to the true heroes of organismal research- you all. Any help or leads on any of the species listed below would be fantastic and I'm happy to answer any questions! Ideally, I need at least 2 from any particular species, and I only really need one or two species but any of the below should work. The fish will be housed in a large connected system of salt-water tanks, or quarantine, and well cared for. Thank you in advance!
Lophiocharon:
*Marble-mouthed Angler
Three-spot Angler
Hutchin's Angler
*Histiophryne:
Bougainville's anglerfish
Cryptic anglerfish
Queensland frogfish
Psychedelic frogfish
Histiophryne pogonius
Histiophryne narungga
Rhycherus:
Tassled frogfish
Glover's anglerfish
*Top choices, if somehow there are options. But I'll take what I can get!
