Cyclothone pseudopallida, commonly known as the slender bristlemouth, is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Cyclothone . [1]
Minnow is the common name for a number of species of small freshwater fish, belonging to several genera of the family Cyprinidae. They are also known in Ireland as pinkeens.
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 numbers: Cyclothone, with 13 species, is thought to be the most abundant vertebrate genus in the world, numbering in the hundreds of trillions to quadrillions.
Lightfishes are small stomiiform fishes in the family Phosichthyidae
The veiled anglemouth, Cyclothone microdon, is a bristlemouth of the family Gonostomatidae, abundant in all the world's oceans at depths of 300 – 2,500 meters. Its length is 10-15 cm though the largest known specimen is 7.6 cm (3 in). It gets its name from its circular mouth, filled with small teeth: the name “cyclothone” means in a circle or around and “microdon” means small teeth. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has assessed the veiled anglemouth is of Least Concern due to its abundance in most oceans and the little effect human impact has on its population growth. Some of the veiled anglemouth's physical features include a brown to black body with a radiating, or expansive, bioluminescent pigment over its head and fins.
Cyclothone is a genus containing 13 extant species of bioluminescent fish, commonly known as 'bristlemouths' or 'bristlefishes' due to their shared characteristic of sharp, bristle-like teeth. These fishes typically grow to around 1-3 inches. They are most commonly found in the mesopelagic zone of the ocean, and are mostly found at depths of over 300 meters.
C. pallida may refer to:
Iris pseudopallida is a species in the genus Iris, it is also in the subgenus of Iris. It is a rhizomatous perennial from Croatia. It has flat, curved of sickle-shaped leaves, tall slender stems, 3–8 fragrant flowers, in shades of violet, or pale violet flowers, mauve, lavender, purple, yellow or white, between May and June. The iris was originally thought to be a separate species, but later classified as subspecies of Iris pallida, known as Iris pallida subsp. pseudopallida, although in Croatia, it is still known as Iris pseudopallida. It is cultivated as an ornamental plant in temperate regions, especially in the Balkan regions.
Microdon most commonly refers to a fly genus. It is also a term used in the scientific names of several different species of fish:
Cyclothone acclinidens, commonly known as the benttooth bristlemouth, is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Cyclothone. It is found in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.
Cyclothone alba, commonly known as the bristlemouth, is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Cyclothone. It is found across the world, in the Pacific, Indian, and Atlantic Oceans.
Cyclothone atraria, commonly known as the deep-water bristlemouth, is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Cyclothone. It is found in the North Pacific.
Cyclothone braueri, commonly known as the garrick, is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Cyclothone.
Cyclothone kobayashii, commonly known as the Kobayashi's bristlemouth, is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Cyclothone. It is found in the Southern Ocean.
