He found it necessary to add 19 new genera and described 276 species previously unknown to science, many of which were found in remote ocean regions and were popular for their bright colors or unique shapes.<\/p>\n<p>The vimba bream (or vimba vimba) is a freshwater fish species that belongs to the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cyprinidae\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cyprinidae<\/a> family. It is native to various river systems and lakes in Europe, and is typically found in fast-flowing, clear waters. The vimba vimba has a silvery-grey or bronze-colored body, with a deeply forked tail and a slightly upturned mouth. It feeds primarily on small invertebrates and algae, and can grow up to 40 centimeters in length. The vimba vimba is considered to be a species of &#8220;least concern&#8221; in terms of conservation status.<\/p>\n<p>Bloch is considered the most important ichthyologist of the 18th century.<\/p>\n<p>Price: Euro 350,-<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE VIMBA BREAM \u201cCyprinus Vimba\/Die Z\u00e4hrte\/La Serte\u201d (plate 9), copper engraving made by Gabriel Bodenehr after the drawing of Kr\u00fcger jr, for Markus Elieser Bloch&#8216;s \u201cAllgemeine Naturgeschichte der Fische\u201d published in Berlin between 1782 and 1795.
