Etymology: Congrogadus: Latin, conger = conger + Latin, gadus = a fish, perhaps cod (Ref. 45335); winterbottomi: Named in honor of Rick Winterbottom, in recognition of his important contributions to the systematics and biogeography of congrogadines and other fishes, and in appreciation of his support and encouragement (Ref. 42960).
Eponymy: Dr Richard ‘Rick’ Winterbottom (d: 1944) is an evolutionary biologist and ichthyologist who was born in Zambia. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
