How to pronounce scientific names?

[Big Mike]

Does anyone know of a web site that shows how to pronounce scientific names of fish? :huh:

Never had to take Latin in school, huh? Another sign of the decline of modern America. One thing I will say is that all the rules of pronunciation go out the window when the fish has the name of a person as part of the name. You should always pronounce the name correctly as if you were speaking to/of the person.

Actually, I was in the last year to have it as mandatory as a freshman...

They made us take it in elementary school, but it wasn't reallly a class, just a very nice old gentleman who came in once a week and taughts us some words and a few songs. I thought it was kind of neat then, and I've grown even more appreciative with age. It really should be mandatory at some level for all students.

Start keeping Killies. That was my Master's level course in Latin! Oh btw I don't mean as food for your other fish!
