A Russian scientist who is studying sunfish and wants to talk to a Canadian researcher about the animal will use the accepted scientific name so that both of them know exactly what species they are talking about. Furthermore, scientific names are used to identify an animalâs relationship with other species. A scientific name consists of a generic name, which is the genus of the organism, and a specific name which is the organismâs species. In the example used previously, the generic name is the genus Lepomis to which bluegill sunfish belongs, while the specific name is macrochirus. Most genera have many species.
