Bathysphyraenops is a genus of ray-finned fish in the family Howellidae, the oceanic basslets. They are native to the deep waters of the tropical oceans. [2]
The currently recognized species in this genus are: [2]
The Squaliformes are an order of sharks that includes about 126 species in seven families.
The Gonostomatidae are a family of mesopelagic marine fish, commonly named bristlemouths, lightfishes, or anglemouths. It is a relatively small family, containing only eight known genera and 32 species. However, bristlemouths make up for their lack of diversity with relative abundance, numbering in the hundreds of trillions to quadrillions. The genus Cyclothone is thought to be one of the most abundant vertebrate genera in the world.
Notothenioidei is one of 19 suborders of the order Perciformes. The group is found mainly in Antarctic and Subantarctic waters, with some species ranging north to southern Australia and southern South America. Notothenioids constitute approximately 90% of the fish biomass in the continental shelf waters surrounding Antarctica.
Nettastomatidae, the duckbill eels or witch eels are a family of eels. The name is from νῆττα and στόμα.
Howella is a genus of ray-finned fish in the family Howellidae, the oceanic basslets. They are found in all oceans.
The narrowmouthed catshark is a coloured catshark beloning to the family Atelomycteridae, found from central Chile around the Straits of Magellan, to Argentina between latitudes 23° S and 56° S, at depths down to about 180 m (600 ft) in the Atlantic Ocean and about 360 m (1,200 ft) in the Pacific. It can grow to a length of up to 70 cm (28 in). The reproduction of this catshark is oviparous.
Mycteroperca is a genus of marine ray-finned fish, groupers from the subfamily Epinephelinae, part of the family Serranidae, which also includes the anthias and sea basses. They are predatory fish, largely associated with reefs and are found in tropical and subtropical seas in the Atlantic Ocean and the eastern Pacific Ocean. They are important target species for fisheries.
An anchovy is a small, common forage fish of the family Engraulidae. Most species are found in marine waters, but several will enter brackish water, and some in South America are restricted to fresh water.
The oceanic basslets are ray-finned fish that belong to the small family Howellidae within the order Acropomatiformes. The family includes about 9 species. They are mostly deep-water species, some of which move to shallower waters at night. Various species are found in the Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean, including the Coral Sea, and Atlantic Ocean, including the Caribbean Sea.
Acropoma hanedai is a species of ray-finned fish, a lanternbelly from the family Acropomatidae. It occurs in the north-western Pacific Ocean from southern Japan to Taiwan. It is a food fish which is caught by trawling.
Acropoma lecorneti is a species of ray-finned fish, a lanternbelly from the family Acropomatidae. It is found in the western Pacific Ocean where it has been recorded off Japan and New Caledonia. This species was first formally described by the French ichthyologist Pierre Fourmanoir (1924-2007) with the type locality given as north of the St Vincent Pass off the western coast of New Caledonia at a depth of 360 metres (1,180 ft). The specific name honours the skipper of the fishing boat Thalassa, Monsieur Lecornet, who took the type aboard that vessel.
Basslet is a common name for several fishes and may refer to:
Phillip Clarence Heemstra was an American-South African ichthyologist. He was born in Melrose Park, Illinois, United States as the son of Clarence William Heemstra and his wife, Lydia. He attended school in Ottawa, Illinois, and completed a B.Sc. Zoology in 1963 at the University of Illinois at Urbana, Illinois, as well as his MSc degree (1968) and doctorate (1974) in marine biology at the University of Miami in Miami, Florida. He moved to live in South Africa in 1978.
Creedia alleni is a species of sandburrowers found in the Eastern Indian Ocean in Australia. This species reaches a length of 4 cm (1.6 in).
Creedia bilineata is a species of sandburrowers found in the Northwest Pacific Ocean around Japan. This species reaches a length of 3.2 cm (1.3 in).
Creedia haswelli, the slender sandburrower, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Creediidae, the sandburrowers. This species is found in Southern Australia. This species reaches a length of 7.5 cm (3.0 in).
Symphysanodon andersoni, the buck-toothed slopefish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish found in the western Indian Ocean.
Acropoma heemstrai is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Acropoma. A small sample was found in South Africa and Mozambique.
Acropoma splendens is a species of bioluminescent lanternbelly native to the eastern Indian Ocean. It was described from pair of specimens found in the Arafura Sea.
Epigonus elongatus is a species of deepwater cardinalfish found in the Western Indian Ocean mainly north of Madagascar and quite near the Seychelles. This fish occurs at depths of 300 m (980 ft).
