Abadzekhia is an extinct genus of prehistoric snake mackerel that lived from the early Oligocene epoch in what is now the North Caucasus of Southern Russia. [3] Fossils of this genus have also been found in Germany. [3]

It contains two species, A. marinae from an indeterminate locality in the North Caucasus of Russia and the Rauenberg fossil site of Germany, as well as A. tarletskovi from the Pshekha Formation of the North Caucasus. [4]

Caprovesposus is an extinct, prehistoric surgeonfish that inhabited the Paratethys Sea during the Oligocene. It is known from a single species, C. parvus, from what is now the North Caucasus, Russia. Potential specimens are known from the Miocene of Egypt, but these are poorly preserved and this attribution is uncertain.

<i>Seriola</i> Genus of fishes

Seriola is a genus of ray-finned fish, with many species commonly known as amberjacks. Nine extant species are currently recognized, although these were formerly split into many more. Also, several species are currently placed in several other genera of the Carangidae that were originally described under Seriola. They are a large, carnivorous finfish popularly known for the firm texture and rich flavour of their flesh, which make them an ideal fish for aquaculture. Because specimens caught can weigh up to 100 kg (220 lb), and are powerful swimmers and hunters, they are also highly prized by sport fisherman.
