Epigonus is a genus of ray-finned fish in the family Epigonidae found in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Ocean. The genus was erected by Constantine Samuel Rafinesque in 1810. [1]
There are currently 37 recognized species in this genus:
Epigonidae, the deepwater cardinalfishes, are a family of acropomatiform ray-finned fishes. The family includes about 43 species.
Setarchinae, the deep-sea bristly scorpionfishes, is a small subfamily of deep-sea ray-finned fishes, it is part of the family Scorpaenidae. They are small marine fishes, growing up to 25 cm, and are found in tropical and subtropical waters throughout the world.
Sebastapistes is a genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Scorpaenidae, the scorpionfishes. The fishes in this genus are found in the Indian and Pacific Ocean.
Phenacoscorpius, the no-lined scorpionfishes, is a genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Scorpaenidae, the scorpionfishes. They are native to the western Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans.
Ericandersonia is a monospecific genus belonging to the family Zoarcidae, the eelpouts. The only species is Ericandersonia sagamia, a deepwater fish in the family Zoarcidae. The genus and species were newly described in 2006. It was found in Sagami Bay, Japan, at depths of between 880 and 930 m. The genus name honours the South African based American ichthyologist M. Eric Anderson in recognition of his eelpout studies.
Pterois mombasae, the African lionfish, deepwater firefish or frillfin turkeyfish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Scorpaenidae, the scorpionfishes and lionfishes. It is found in the tropical Indian Ocean, typically in soft-bottomed areas of the ocean, often in conjunction with invertebrate growth. It grows to a maximum size of 20 cm, and is of moderate commercial value.
Kopua is a genus of clingfishes found in the Pacific Ocean.
Acropoma is a genus of ray-finned fish in the family Acropomatidae, the temperate ocean-basses or lanternbellies. They are native to the Indian Ocean and western Pacific Ocean. They are characterized by a ventral luminous organ that has a luminous gland, a lens, and a reflector. The shape of the luminous organ helps distinguish the species in the genus.
Caristius is a genus of manefishes native to the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Microichthys is a genus of very small deepwater cardinalfishes which were only known from the Strait of Messina in the Mediterranean Sea, although M. coccoi has recently been recorded in the Aegean Sea and around the Azores.
Terelabrus is a genus of fish in the family Labridae found in the Indian and Pacific Ocean.
Verulux is a genus of fishes in the family Apogonidae found in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
Epigonus elegans is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Epigonidae found in the Southeast Pacific on the seamounts in the Nazca Ridge.
Lythrichthys, the red deepwater scorpionfishes, is a genus of marine ray-finned fish, belonging to the subfamily Setarchinae, the deep-sea bristly scorpionfishes, part of the family Scorpaenidae. They are native to the Pacific Ocean.
The channelled rockfish, commonly known as the deepwater scorpionfish, is a marine ray-finned fish belonging to the subfamily Setarchinae, which is a part of the family Scorpaenidae. This species is found in various tropical and subtropical oceans and has a wide distribution.
Acropoma heemstrai is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Acropoma. A small sample was found in South Africa and Mozambique.
Epigonus affinis, the smooth-nose deepwater cardinalfish, is a species of deepwater cardinalfish found in the eastern-central Atlantic Ocean. This fish occurs at depths of 300 m (980 ft).
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).
Thrissina is a genus of anchovies in the family Engraulidae. Some authorities regard this genus as invalid, and classify the species as part of Thryssa. FishBase considers eight species as valid.
Microichthys grandis is a species of deep-water cardinalfish native to the Northeastern Atlantic Ocean, off southwest coast of Ireland, where it was described. It is the largest species of the genus Microichthys known, measuring 54.5 mm.
