01Narrative

Agonomalus proboscidalis is a fish in the family Agonidae (poachers).Agonomalus proboscidalis at www.fishbase.org. It was described by Achille Valenciennes in 1858, originally under the genus Aspidophorus (now Agonus).Valenciennes, A. 1858 [ref. 17871] Description d'une nouvelle espèce d'Aspidophore pêché dans l'une des anses du port de l'empereur Nicolas ... Comptes rendus hebdomadaires des séances de l'Académie des Sciences. v. 47: 1040-1043. It is a marine, polar water-dwelling fish which is known from the northwestern Pacific Ocean, including northern Japan, the Sea of Japan, and the Sea of Okhotsk. It is known to dwell at a depth range of 20 to. Males can reach a maximum total length of 20 cm. A. proboscidalis is a commercial aquarium fish.

05DNA & barcoding2 specimens

A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Agonomalus proboscidalis has left across the world's sequence archives.

09Environmental DNA2 detections

Where the DNA of Agonomalus proboscidalis was picked up in samples of water, soil or air — nobody saw the organism, only its DNA left behind. A trace is a clue that the species was near, not a confirmed sighting.

How to read this: each dot is one detection of this species' DNA in an environmental sample. The confidence meter weighs how many independent studies and places back up the signal — one detection in one study is a hint; many across several studies is solid. Records dated before 2008 (when eDNA methods began) are treated as likely mislabeled and left off the map.
