what was.. what was the "photo recognition software" that you used??

Nick Taylor Jul 29, 2016:

There are many ways to skin a rabbit. Or gut a fish :-)
I simply used photo recognition software of the "Salongo" and the most appropriate species match was the New Zealand - United Fisheries - Home of New Zealand's Finest Seafood site (very informative) hence no direct reference to the salongo (which, given the physical characteristics it certainly appears to be). I've got no problem about points - the most important thing is that the asker is provided with the most appropriate translation.

Ana Vozone Jul 29, 2016:

@Nick I am afraid your link does not provide any actual connection between the word "salongo" and its Latin name or common name in English.

On the other hand, Teresa's link, http://www.lotacor.pt/docs/lista_especies_acores_lotacor.pdf
does provide a clear connection between "salongo" and the Latin name.

So I think it would be fair for Teresa's suggestion to be awarded the points, if you agree, of course ... ;) There is no doubt that "she got there first"... Fair play!

@Ana Obrigada pelo seu cuidado, o meu trabalho de pesquisa foi feito da melhor vontade, mesmo que não colha a devida retribuição...

Nick Taylor Jul 29, 2016:

@Teresa Acho que sim. Parece que o nome vulgar é "Splendid alfonsino", how wonderful is that? SPLENDID! :-)

Maria Teresa Borges de Almeida Jul 29, 2016:

@Nick Really?

Maria Teresa Borges de Almeida Jul 29, 2016:

Eu até que... ... ia formalizar!

Ana Vozone Jul 29, 2016:

@ Teresa Não vai formalizar a sua sugestão/descoberta para eu lhe dar os pontos, uma vez que foi a Teresa que estabeleceu a relação entre Salongo e Alfonsino?

I contacted MARE Centre in Lisbon, and they suggested I search the Fish Base. Teresa beat me to it ;)

But they were very helpful: http://www.mare-centre.pt/pt/contact

But apparently Cercopithecus dryas is a monkey!
