Holtbyrnia is a genus of tubeshoulders.
There are currently nine recognized species in this genus: [1]
The footballfish form a family, Himantolophidae, of globose, deep-sea anglerfishes found in tropical and subtropical waters of the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Ocean. The family contains 23 species, all of which reside in a single genus, Himantolophus.
The tubeshoulders are a family, Platytroctidae, of ray-finned fish belonging to the order Alepocephaliformes. They are found throughout the world, except for the Mediterranean Sea. Tubeshoulders live at moderate depths of 300 to 1,000 m, and some have light-producing organs. They are generally small to medium fish, ranging from 9 to 33 cm in length.
Emydura, the Australian short-necked turtles, are a genus of turtles in the family Chelidae. It was paraphyletic with Elseya. Consequently, it was split into two genera Myuchelys and Elseya by Thomson & Georges, 2009. They can grow quite large, 30 cm or more is not unusual and have a life span of around 20–30 years. They generally do not hibernate as their warmer climate lets them remain active all year round; they also spend more time in the water than other varieties. They are considered omnivore but rely on a constant supply of meat to remain healthy, feeding on basically anything that will fit into their mouth.
Bajacalifornia is a genus of slickheads. It was described in 1925 by Charles Haskins Townsend and John Treadwell Nichols on the basis of Bajacalifornia burragei which was discovered in 1911 during the deep sea expedition of the research vessel USS Albatross off the coast of Todos Santos Bay at the Baja California peninsula. In 1952 Ichthyologist Albert Eide Parr published a revision of this genus.
Bathytroctes is a genus of slickheads that occur in the depths of the oceans.
Barbantus is a genus of tubeshoulders.
Maulisia is a genus of tubeshoulders.
Mentodus is a genus of tubeshoulders.
Normichthys is a genus of tubeshoulder fish, named for the ichthyologist John Roxborough Norman.
Sagamichthys is a genus of tubeshoulders. The generic name derives from Sagami Bay, Japan, and the Greek ἰχθύς (ichthys), "fish".
Searsia koefoedi, or Koefoed's searsid, is a species of tubeshoulder found in the oceans at depths of from 450 to 1,500 metres. It is named after Norwegian marine biologist Einar Koefoed.
Searsioides is a genus of tubeshoulders native to the western central Pacific Ocean.
Ahliesaurus is a genus of waryfishes.
Scopelosaurus is a genus of waryfishes.
Lampadena is a genus of lanternfishes.
Platytroctes apus is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Platytroctidae, the tubeshoulders. It is known commonly as the legless searsid and legless tubeshoulder. It is native to tropical and temperate oceans around the world. It has been found at depths between 385 and 5393 meters, but it generally remains between 1000 and 2000 meters.
The bighead searsid is a species of tubeshoulder fish.
Schnakenbeck's searsid is a species of fish in the family Platytroctidae (tubeshoulders).
Searsid is a term used to refer to fish of the family Platytroctidae that resemble Searsia koefoedi. Fish referred to as searsids include:
The multipore searsid is a species of fish in the family Platytroctidae (tubeshoulders).
