Cancelloxus is a genus of clinids found in the southeastern Atlantic ocean.
There are currently three recognized species in this genus: [1]
Clinus is a genus of clinids found in the southeastern Atlantic and western Indian ocean.
Blennioclinus is a genus of clinids found in the southeastern Atlantic and western Indian Ocean.
Blennophis is a genus of clinids found in the southeastern Atlantic ocean.
Fucomimus mus, the Mousey klipfish, is a species of clinid found in subtropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean along the South African coast where it occurs in tide pools. This species can reach a maximum length of 10 centimetres (3.9 in) TL. This species feeds on benthic crustaceans including amphipods, isopods and copepods, and gastropods.
Muraenoclinus dorsalis, the nosestripe klipfish, is a species of clinid native to the Atlantic coast of southern Africa from Namibia to Natal, South Africa where it can be found in stony tide pools. It is viviparous. This species can reach a maximum length of 10 centimetres (3.9 in) TL. It is currently the only known member of its genus.
Pavoclinus is a genus of clinids found in the southeastern Atlantic and western Indian Ocean coastal waters of southern Africa.
The leafy klipfish is a species of clinid found along the coast of South Africa from Cape Point to the Bashee River. Its preferred habitat is amongst seaweed in the subtidal zone. It can reach a maximum total length of 30 cm (12 in). It is currently the only known member of its genus. The generic name honours the South African ichthyologist J.L.B. Smith (1897-1968), while the specific name means belonging to the brown seaweed genus Fucus, a reference to its habitat, colouring, and form.
Xenopoclinus is a small genus of clinids native to the coast of South Africa.
Cancelloxus burrelli, the Slender platanna-klipfish, is a species of clinid found in subtropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean along the South African coast from the Orange River to Algoa Bay in South Africa. It can be found from the intertidal zone down to about 20 metres (66 ft). This species can reach a maximum length of 12 centimetres (4.7 in) TL.
Cancelloxus elongatus, the whiteblotched klipfish, is a species of clinid found in subtropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean along the South African coast. It prefers sandy habitats with nearby rocks at depths of from 10 to 25 metres. It can reach a maximum length of 5 centimetres (2.0 in) TL. This species preys primarily on zoobenthos.
Cancelloxus longior is a species of clinid found in subtropical waters of the South African coast. It can be found in areas with a sand substrate from the intertidal zone to a depth of about 10 metres (33 ft). Males of this species can reach a maximum length of 9.1 centimetres (3.6 in) SL, while females can reach a maximum length of 12.1 centimetres (4.8 in) SL.
Clinus acuminatus, the sad klipfish, is a species of fish in the family Clinidae. It is endemic to Southern Africa, where it occurs along the coast of Namibia and South Africa. It can reach a maximum length of 13 centimetres (5.1 in) TL and is viviparous. The sad klipfish feeds on crustaceans.
Clinus helenae, the Helen's klipfish, is a species of clinid that occurs in subtropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean around South Africa where it is a denizen of tide pools. This species can reach a maximum length of 10 centimetres (3.9 in) TL. The identity of the person honoured in the matronym in this species' specific name is thought to be J.L.B. Smith's mother-in-law Helen Evelyn Zondagh (1877-1951).
Clinus heterodon, the westcoast klipfish, is a species of clinid that occurs in subtropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean from Namibia to South Africa where it is a denizen of tide pools. This species can reach a maximum length of 13 centimetres (5.1 in) TL. This species feeds on marine invertebrates.
Clinus nematopterus, the Chinese klipfish, that occurs in subtropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean where, despite its common name, it is endemic to South Africa, the common name having derived from a locality error in the original description. This species can reach a maximum length of 11 centimetres (4.3 in) TL. This species feeds on benthic crustaceans and also takes other fishes.
Clinus robustus, the Robust klipfish, is a species of clinid that occurs in subtropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean around South Africa where it can be found in the subtidal zone in areas with plentiful seaweed growth. This species can reach a maximum length of 50 centimetres (20 in) TL.
Pavoclinus mentalis, the Bearded klipfish, is a species of clinid found from Mozambique to Algoa Bay, South Africa where it occurs in weedy areas in the subtidal zone. It can reach a maximum length of 30 centimetres (12 in) TL.
Xenopoclinus leprosus, the leprous platanna-klipfish, is a species of clinid found along the coast of South Africa from the Orange River to Algoa Bay. It can be found on substrates of sand, gravel, or pebbles. It can reach a maximum total length of 8 cm (3.1 in).
Klipfish is any of various species of fish of the family Clinidae from South Africa:
