01Narrative

Allenbatrachus grunniens est une espèce de poissons de la famille des Batrachoididae. Elle vit en eau saumâtre et dans l'eau de mer. Ce poisson mesure environ 25 cm de long à l'âge adulte mais certains spécimens atteignent 35 cm. Aussi appelé Poisson crapaud grogneur, Allenbatrachus grunniens peut vivre en aquarium mais il est très rare. Pour la reproduction ou en cas de menace, ce poisson peut produire un son avec sa vessie natatoire : il la remplit d'air puis la vide en émettant un son semblable à un ballon de baudruche se dégonflant. Il se reproduit rarement en aquarium mais certains éleveurs ont réussi à le faire se reproduire. Les parents s'occupent des jeunes poissons jusqu'à 4 mois, âge auquel les juvéniles deviennent indépendants et autonomes. L'espèce est présente dans les eaux chaudes, en Asie de l'Est et du Sud.

05DNA & barcoding4 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 Allenbatrachus grunniens has left across the world's sequence archives.

09Environmental DNA3 detections

Where the DNA of Allenbatrachus grunniens 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.
