Bembrops is a genus of fish, it is the type genus of the subfamily Bembropinae of the family Percophidae.
The following species are classified as members of the genus Bembrops: [2]
The Percopsiformes are a small order of ray-finned fishes, comprising the trout-perch and its allies. It contains just ten extant species, grouped into seven genera and three families. Five of these genera are monotypic
The Serranidae are a large family of fishes belonging to the order Perciformes. The family contains about 450 species in 65 genera, including the sea basses and the groupers. Although many species are small, in some cases less than 10 cm (3.9 in), the giant grouper is one of the largest bony fishes in the world, growing to 2.7 m in length and 400 kg (880 lb) in weight. Representatives of this group live in tropical and subtropical seas worldwide.
Percina is a genus of small freshwater ray-finned fish, classified within the subfamily Etheostomatinae, part of the family Percidae, which also contains the perches, ruffes and pikeperches from North America. Like the similar fishes in the genus Etheostoma, they are some species called "darters". More specifically, the genus as a whole is known as roughbelly darters, while certain species of Percina with a pattern of vertical bars on the flanks are called logperches.
Bathygobius is a circumtropical genus of fish in the family Gobiidae.
Brycon is a genus of fish in the family Characidae found in freshwater habitats in Central and South America, ranging from southern Mexico to northern Argentina. Despite not being closely related to true trout, they are sometimes called South American trout. Members of the genus may also be referred to as piraputanga. They reach a maximum length of 11.9–79.5 cm (4.7–31.3 in) depending on the species involved. Some species perform seasonal breeding migrations.
Hypsoblennius is a genus of combtooth blennies found in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
Omobranchus is a large genus of combtooth blennies found in the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian oceans.
Paraclinus is a genus of labrisomid blennies native to eastern Pacific Ocean and the western Atlantic Ocean.
Pteronotropis is a genus of cyprinid fish endemic to the United States.
Joseph (Joe) Schieser Nelson was an American ichthyologist. He is best known for the book Fishes of the World, which is the standard reference in fish systematics and evolution.
Thalassophryne is a genus of toadfishes found in the western Atlantic Ocean with one species found in the Amazon River and some of its tributaries.
Hippoglossina is a genus of large-tooth flounders native to the coastal Pacific waters of the Americas. A single species, H. oblonga is found along the Atlantic coast of United States and Canada, but it is frequently placed in Paralichthys instead of Hippoglossina.
Paralichthys is a genus of large-tooth flounders. Most species are native to the coastal waters of the Americas, but P. olivaceus is from northeast Asia. The largest species reaches about 1.5 m (5 ft) in length.
Dormitator is a genus of fishes in the family Eleotridae mostly found in marine, fresh and brackish waters on either side of the Atlantic Ocean, with one species occurring along the Pacific coast of the Americas.
Oxyurichthys is a genus of fish in the subfamily Gobionellinae, known commonly as arrowfin gobies. They are distributed in the tropical and subtropical Indian and Pacific Oceans; one species is also known from the western Atlantic Ocean. Most species live in shallow waters under 10 meters deep over fine substrates such as silt.
Pomadasys is a genus of grunts native to the waters of the eastern Atlantic Ocean and through the Indian Ocean to the Pacific coast of the Americas.
Patagonotothen is a genus of notothen native to the Southern Ocean.
Astroscopus, the electric stargazers, is a genus of stargazers, a type of percomorph fish from the family Uranoscopidae, part of the order Trachiniformes. The species in this genus are anatomically distinct Uranoscopids, being characterized by internal nares and being the only group of marine bony fish having organs which produce electricity which are derived from the extraocular muscles. They are found on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the Americas.
Atherinopsinae is a subfamily of the Neotropical silversides, part of the family Atherinopsidae. This subfamily is made up of two tribes, six genera and around 30 species. They are found in the eastern Pacific and south-western Atlantic and the subfamily contains marine, brackish and freshwater species.
The Serraninae is a subfamily of perciform ray-finned fishes in the family Serranidae. It is made up of ten genera and 87 species.
