There are currently three recognized species in this genus: [1]
Chionoecetes is a genus of crabs that live in the northern Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
Telescopefish are small, deep-sea aulopiform fish comprising the small family Giganturidae. The two known species are within the genus Gigantura. Though rarely captured, they are found in cold, deep tropical to subtropical waters worldwide.
The wolffish, also known as sea wolves, are a family, Anarhichadidae, of perciform fish. There are three types of wolffish: the spotted Wolffish, the Atlantic Wolffish, and the Northern Atlantic Wolffish. They are native to cold waters of the northern Atlantic and Pacific oceans, where they live on the continental shelf and slope, to depths of about 600 metres. They are bottom-feeders, eating hard-shelled invertebrates such as clams, echinoderms, and crustaceans, which they crush with their strong canine and molar teeth. The longest species, Anarrhichthys ocellatus, grows to more than 2 m in length.
Sea devils are the family of deep-sea anglerfish known as the Ceratiidae, from the Greek keras, "horn", referring to the bioluminescent lure that projects from the fishes' forehead.
Double anglers are a family, Diceratiidae, of anglerfishes. They are found in deep, lightless waters of the Atlantic, Indian and western Pacific Oceans.
Krøyer's deep sea angler fish is a species of fish in the family Ceratiidae, the sea devils. This deep-sea anglerfish is found in all oceans, at depths of 0 to 4,400 m, but mainly between 400 and 2,000 m. Females typically are 77 cm (2.53 ft) long, but can reach 120 cm (3.9 ft). The much smaller males only reach 16 cm (0.52 ft) and they are symbiotic, as they attach themselves to a female.
The triplewart seadevil is a sea devil of the family Ceratiidae and the order Lophoiiformes. This species is the only member of its genus. Noted for its extreme sexual dimorphism, the triplewart seadevil length ranges from 20 to 30 cm for females and 1 to 3 cm for males.
Carl Peter Holbøll (1795-1856) was an officer in the Danish Royal Navy, Greenland colonial officer and explorer of the Greenlandic fauna.
Anarhichas is a genus of wolffishes native to the northern Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Caracanthus, the coral crouchers, or orbicular velvetfishes, are a genus of scorpaeniform fishes. They live in coral reefs of the tropical Indo-Pacific. This genus is the only member of the family Caracanthidae.
Ogcocephalus is an anglerfish genus in the "batfish" family Ogcocephalidae.
Bufoceratias is a genus of fish in the family Diceratiidae.
Acanthochondria limandae is a species of copepods in the genus Acanthochondria. They are host-specific ectoparasites of two species of flatfish: the common dab and the European flounder. They attach themselves to the bases of the gill arches of their hosts. They can infest as much as 2 to 30% of fish in a given population.
Liparis fabricii, commonly known as the gelatinous seasnail or gelatinous snailfish, is a benthopelagic species of snailfish from the Arctic Ocean. It has a tadpole-like body with a maximum length of about 20 cm (7.9 in). It is brown to black in coloration with a distinctive dark peritoneum. It preys on small crustaceans and marine worms. It is not commercially important, though it is a valuable food source for predatory fish and seabirds in the Arctic region.
Liparis is a large genus of snailfish from the northern hemisphere. They are very common in temperate and cold waters. Chernova (2008) has proposed that the genus should be subdivided into five subgenera: Liparis, Neoliparis, Lycocara, Careliparis, and Lyoliparis.
Magnisudis is a genus of barracudinas.
Linophryne is a genus of leftvents, commonly called the "bearded seadevils."
Ceratia is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks the family Iravadiidae.
Ceratias tentaculatus, commonly known as the southern seadevil, is a species of sea devil, a type of anglerfish. The fish is bathydemersal and can be found at depths ranging from 100 to 2,900 metres. It is endemic to the Southern Ocean.
Ceratias uranoscopus, commonly known as the stargazing seadevil, is a species of sea devil, a type of anglerfish. The fish is both bathypelagic and mesopelagic and can typically be found at depths ranging from 500 to 1,000 metres. It is endemic to tropical waters and can be found in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.
