Acanthocobitis pavonacea, also known as the spearfin loach, is a species of ray-finned fish belonging to the family Nemacheilidae, the stone loaches. This species is found in the Brahmaputra River ofAssam. This is one of two species in the genus Acanthocobitis, alongside the type species, A. longipinnis. A. longipennis was treated as synonym of this species but in 2021 Maurice Kottelat and Waikhom Vishwanath published a paper that argued that A. longipennis was a valid species and that it was one of two species ofloach in the genus Acanthocobitis, alongside A. pavonacea, with the other species being classified in the genus Paracanthocobitis. This species is the type species of the genus Acanthocobitis.

It is found in the Western Pacific Ocean from Japan south to the Philippines where it inhabits rock reefs and inshore waters with rocky sea beds. This species can grow up to 1 metre (3.3 ft) in total length. The ara was first formally described in 1828 by Georges Cuvier in the Histoire naturelle des poissons which he co-authored with Achille Valenciennes, the type locality was given as the Sea of Japan.
The school bass is a species of marine ray-finned fish, it is the only member of the monotypic genus Schultzea which is part of the subfamily Serraninae which itself is classified within the family Serranidae, along with the anthias and groupers. It is found in the western central Atlantic Ocean. This species is found in deeper waters near coral reefswhere it forms small groups which feed on plankton. The school bass is a synchronous hermaphrodite. The generic name honours the American ichthyologist Leonard Peter Schultz (1901-1986) who was Curator of Fishes at the United States National Museum who examined the specimens described by Loren P. Woods (1914-1979) as Schultzea campachanus, which was later shown to be a synonym of Hildebrand's Serranus beta.
