Smelts are a family of small fish, the Osmeridae, found in the North Atlantic and North Pacific Oceans, as well as rivers, streams and lakes in Europe, North America and Northeast Asia. They are also known as freshwater smelts or typical smelts to distinguish them from the related Argentinidae, Bathylagidae, and Retropinnidae.

The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) is a private, non-profit oceanographic research center in Moss Landing, California. MBARI was founded in 1987 by David Packard, and is primarily funded by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation. Christopher Scholin serves as the institute's president and chief executive officer, managing a work force of approximately 220 scientists, engineers, and operations and administrative staff.
Malacosteus niger is a species of fish in the family Stomiidae, the barbeled dragonfishes. It is known by the common names northern stoplight loosejaw, lightless loosejaw, black loosejaw, and black hinged-head. It lives in oceans around the world from tropical to subarctic waters where it feeds primarily on zooplankton, but is also known to consume piscivores. Its unique visual and bioluminescence permit it to see the red light produced by its photophores which most other species cannot perceive, thus making M. niger an apex predator in its ecosystem.
Bathylagus antarcticus, the Antarctic deep-sea smelt, is a deep-sea smelt found in all the southern oceans as far south as Antarctica, to depths of 4,000 metres (13,000 ft). This species grows to a length of 14 centimetres (5.5 in) SL.
Ilyophis is a genus of eels in the cutthroat eel family Synaphobranchidae.
The yellowback fusilier is a pelagic marine fish belonging to the family Caesionidae. It is native to the tropical Indo-Pacific, being found in shallow water from the African coast to Indonesia.
Anisolabididae is a family of earwigs, in the suborder Forficulina and the order Dermaptera. It is one of nine families in the suborder Forficulina, and contains thirty-eight genera spread across thirteen subfamilies.
Illiosentidae is a family of parasitic worms from the order Echinorhynchida.
Solariella periscopia is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Solariellidae. It is commonly referred to as the "look-around solarelle", and was first described in 1927.
Glossanodon is a genus of fishes in the family Argentinidae.
Bathylagichthys is a species of deep-sea smelts.
Dolicholagus longirostris, the longsnout blacksmelt, is a species of deep-sea smelt found circumglobally in deep waters of the tropics and subtropics. It is found at depths of 200 to 945 m. This species grows to a length of 17.5 cm (6.9 in).
Lipolagus ochotensis, the eared blacksmelt, is a species of deep-sea smelt found in the Pacific Ocean down to depths of 6,100 m (20,000 ft). This species grows to a length of 16 cm (6.3 in).
Melanolagus bericoides, the bigscale deep-sea smelt, is a species of deep-sea smelt found in tropical and subtropical oceans to a depth of 1,700 m (5,600 ft). This species grows to a length of 20 cm (7.9 in). Its original name is Scopelus bericoides Borodin and belongs to the Melanolagus Kobyliansky family.
Pseudobathylagus milleri, the stout blacksmelt, also called the owlfish due to its large eyes relative to its body, is a species of deep-sea smelt native to the north Pacific Ocean where it is found to depths of 6,600 m (21,700 ft). This species grows to a length of 16.5 cm (6.5 in).
Nansenia is a genus of pencil smelts.
Chaunacops is a genus of lophiiform fish (anglerfish) in the family Chaunacidae. They are characterized as having globose heads, open sensory and lateral line canals, and loose skin covered by small spine-like scales. Colour, which has been noted as an important distinguishing characteristic, has generally been described as pink, reddish orange, or rose. However, recent work by Lundsten et al. (2012) suggests that juvenile Chaunacops coloratus may be blue and only adults are red or rose coloured.
Anatoly Petrovich Andriyashev was a Soviet Russian ichthyologist, marine biologist, and zoogeographist, notable for his studies of marine fauna of the Arctic and the Northern Pacific.
The snubnose blacksmelt is a species of ray-finned fish in the deep-sea smelt family Bathylagidae. It is native to the northeastern Pacific Ocean.
