Hemiculter tchangi is a species of cyprinid fish in the genus Hemiculter which has been recorded only from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in Sichuan.
A tuna is a saltwater fish that belongs to the tribe Thunnini, a subgrouping of the Scombridae (mackerel) family. The Thunnini comprise 15 species across five genera, the sizes of which vary greatly, ranging from the bullet tuna up to the Atlantic bluefin tuna, which averages 2 m (6.6 ft) and is believed to live up to 50 years.
Mackerel is a common name applied to a number of different species of pelagic fish, mostly from the family Scombridae. They are found in both temperate and tropical seas, mostly living along the coast or offshore in the oceanic environment.
Herring are forage fish, mostly belonging to the family of Clupeidae.
Wobbegong is the common name given to the 12 species of carpet sharks in the family Orectolobidae. They are found in shallow temperate and tropical waters of the western Pacific Ocean and eastern Indian Ocean, chiefly around Australia and Indonesia, although one species occurs as far north as Japan. The word wobbegong is believed to come from an Australian Aboriginal language, meaning "shaggy beard", referring to the growths around the mouth of the shark of the western Pacific.
The billfish are a group of saltwater predatory fish characterised by prominent pointed bills (rostra), and by their large size; some are longer than 4 m (13 ft). Extant billfish include sailfish and marlin, which make up the family Istiophoridae; and swordfish, sole member of the family Xiphiidae. They are often apex predators which feed on a wide variety of smaller fish, crustaceans and cephalopods. These two families are sometimes classified as belonging to the order Istiophoriformes, a group which originated around 71 million years ago in the Late Cretaceous, with the two families diverging around 15 million years ago in the Late Miocene. However, they are also classified as being closely related to the mackerels and tuna within the suborder Scombroidei of the order Perciformes. However, the 5th edition of the Fishes of the World does recognise the Istiophoriformes as a valid order, albeit including the Sphyraenidae, the barracudas.
Hemiculter is a genus of cyprinid fish, consisting of eight species native to fresh water of eastern Asia. The type species is the sharpbelly, Culter leucisculus. The name is derived from the Greek word hemis, meaning "half", and the Latin word culter, meaning "knife".
The sharpbelly or wild carp, sharpbelly, or common sawbelly, is a tropical freshwater and brackish water fish belonging to the Cultrinae subfamily of the family Cyprinidae. It originates in large streams and reservoirs in China, Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong, Korea, and the Amur River basin. It has become established as an exotic species in several other countries, including Iran, Afghanistan, and the former Soviet Union, where it has displaced local species. It was originally described as Culter leucisculus by S. Basilewsky in 1855, and has also been referred to as Chanodichthys leucisculus and Hemiculter leucisculus warpachowskii in scientific literature.
Hemiculter elongatus is a tropical freshwater fish belonging to the Cultrinae subfamily of the family Cyprinidae. It is known only from the Ky Cùng River in Lang Son Province, northern Vietnam. It was originally described by Nguyen & Ngo in 2001.
Ciliata is a genus of fishes in the family Lotidae, with these currently recognized species:

Hemiculter songhongensis is a species of Cyprinid fish in the genus Hemiculter.
Hemiculter varpachovskii is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Hemiculter from the Khalkh River and Lake Buir in Mongolia and Lake Hulun in China. It may also occur in the upper drainage of the Argun River in Russia and China.
The Ussuri sharpbelly is a temperate freshwater fish belonging to the subfamily Cultrinae of the family Cyprinidae. It originates in the Amur River basin in Asia. It was originally described as Culter lucidus by B. I. Dybowski in 1872, and has also been referred to as Hemiculter leucisculus lucidus in scientific literature.
The Cultrinae are one of at least 13 subfamilies of cyprinid fish. It contains ten genera.
