Etymology: Arctozenus: Greek, arktos = bear + particle zen, derived from zao = to give life; risso: Named after A. Risso, European ichthyologist (Ref. 6885).
Eponymy: Professor Giovanni Antonio Risso (1777–1845) (aka Joseph Antoine Risso) was an Italian-French naturalist and the first to describe deep-sea fishes as distinctive fauna and describe depth zonation with different species living in discrete depth [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
