Centrolophidae (Medusafishes)
Etymology: Schedophilus: Name from Greek words 'phylos' (Φίλος), t) meaning 'one who likes' and "s 'shedia' (Σχεδία) which means raft; literally means 'the one who likes rafts'. This probably refers to the lifestyle ot the juveniles of this genus (Michail Ragousis, mar10091@marine.aegean.gr, pers. Comm. 01/16) which are epipelagic and associate with floating jellyfish.
Eponymy: Dr Richard Lee Haedrich (1938–2017) was an ichthyologist, marine biologist and oceanographer who was a specialist in this group of fishes and how they relate to the marine environment. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
