Amphistichus is a genus of surfperches native to the eastern Pacific Ocean.
There are currently three recognized species in this genus: [1]
The Elopiformes are the order of ray-finned fish including the tarpons, tenpounders, and ladyfish, as well as a number of extinct types. They have a long fossil record, easily distinguished from other fishes by the presence of an additional set of bones in the throat.
The Lamnidae are the family of mackerel sharks known as white sharks. They are large, fast-swimming predatory fish found in oceans worldwide, though they prefer environments with colder water. The name of the family is formed from the Greek word lamna, which means "fish of prey", and was derived from the Greek legendary creature, the Lamia.
Fundulus is a genus of ray-finned fishes in the superfamily Funduloidea, family Fundulidae. It belongs to the order of toothcarps (Cyprinodontiformes), and therein the large suborder Cyprinodontoidei. Most of its closest living relatives are egg-laying, with the notable exception of the splitfin livebearers (Goodeidae).
The tule perch is a surfperch (Embiotocidae) native to the rivers and estuaries of central California. It is the sole member of its genus, and the only freshwater surfperch.
Myliobatis is a genus of eagle rays in the family Myliobatidae.
Pycnodontiformes is an extinct order of primarily marine bony fish. The group first appeared during the Late Triassic and disappeared during the Eocene. The group has been found in rock formations in Africa, Asia, Europe, North and South America.
Eoophyla is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae. It was erected by Charles Swinhoe in 1900.
Leuciscinae is a subfamily of the freshwater fish family Cyprinidae, which contains the true minnows.
Palaeoniscidae is an extinct family of "palaeoniscoid" ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii). The family includes the genus Palaeoniscum and potentially other Palaeozoic and Mesozoic early actinopterygian genera. The name is derived from the Ancient Greek words παλαιός and ὀνίσκος.
The redtail surfperch is a marine fish that inhabits the near-shore and estuarine waters of North American Pacific coasts.
Embiotoca is a genus of surfperches native to the eastern Pacific Ocean.
Hyperprosopon is a genus of surfperches native to the eastern Pacific Ocean.
The rainbow surfperch, also known as rainbow seaperch, or bugara, is a species of surfperch found along the Pacific coast of North America from Cape Mendocino, California to northern Baja California, Mexico. This species prefers rocky shores over sandy ones, and is never found in the surf, preferring the edges of kelp forests down to depths of about 40 metres (130 ft). This species grows to a length of 30 centimetres (12 in) TL. This species is the only known member of its genus. The specific name honours Thomas Cary (1824-1888), a business man and amateur naturalist who was also the brother-in-law of Louis Agassiz who procured specimens that confirmed that this species was viviparous.
Phanerodon is a genus of surfperches native to the eastern Pacific Ocean.
Rhacochilus is a genus of surfperches native to the eastern Pacific Ocean.
The pink surfperch, or pink seaperch, is a species of surfperch native to the eastern Pacific Ocean from Point Delgada, California, United States to southern Baja California. It is also present in the Gulf of California. This species is an offshore member of the surfperch family, and occurs at depths of from 8 to 229 metres. The Pink surfperch grows to a length of 20 centimetres (7.9 in) TL. It is the only known member of its genus.
Embiotoca jacksoni, commonly known as the black surfperch, is a species of surfperches native to shallow coastal areas of the eastern Pacific. Other common names of the species include black perch and butterlips. They are usually a dark reddish brown to tan in color, often also with vertical dark bars across their body. They are commercially important food and game fish.
Embiotoca lateralis, commonly known as the striped surfperch or striped seaperch, is a species of surfperch native to the north-eastern Pacific Ocean.
Poeciliinae is a subfamily of killifish from the family Poeciliidae which contains species from the Americas which are collectively known as the livebearers because many, but not all, of the species within the subfamily are ovoviviparous.
Margaroniini is a tribe of the species-rich subfamily Spilomelinae in the pyraloid moth family Crambidae. The tribe was erected by Charles Swinhoe and Everard Charles Cotes in 1889, originally as family Margaronidae.
