Liparis adiastolus is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Liparidae, the snailfishes. Native to the Northeastern Pacific Ocean, it may be found in shallow water and estuaries. The fish have a pale ring at the base of their caudal fins. [1]
Sarcopterygii — sometimes considered synonymous with Crossopterygii — is a clade of vertebrate animals which includes a group of bony fish commonly referred to as lobe-finned fish. These vertebrates are characterised by prominent muscular limb buds (lobes) within their fins, which are supported by articulated appendicular skeletons. This is in contrast to the other clade of bony fish, the Actinopterygii, which have only skin-covered bony spines supporting the fins.
A dorsal fin is a fin on the back of most marine and freshwater vertebrates. Dorsal fins have evolved independently several times through convergent evolution adapting to marine environments, so the fins are not all homologous. They are found in most fish, in mammals such as whales, and in extinct ancient marine reptiles such as ichthyosaurs. Most have only one dorsal fin, but some have two or three.
The snailfishes or sea snails, are a family of marine ray-finned fishes. These fishes make up the Liparidae, a family classified within the order Scorpaeniformes.
Fish measurement is the measuring of individual fish and various parts of their anatomies, for data used in many areas of ichthyology, including taxonomy and fishery biology.
Acanthopterygii is a superorder of bony fishes in the class Actinopterygii. Members of this superorder are sometimes called ray-finned fishes for the characteristic sharp, bony rays in their fins; however this name is often given to the class Actinopterygii as a whole.
Careproctus pallidus is a species of snailfish found around Tierra del Fuego in the far south of South America.
Liparis montagui, or Montagu's seasnail, is a marine fish of the seasnail family (Liparidae). It inhabits the northeastern Atlantic, mainly around the British Isles, the North Sea, the Norwegian Sea, southern Iceland and as far north as the Barents Sea. It is a small, demersal fish, usually living between from the intertidal zone to 30 metres deep, where it hides under stones or algae. It mainly feeds on small invertebrates, such as small crabs, shrimp and amphipods. This species was described in 1804 by the Anglo-Irish writer, natural history illustrator, and amateur zoologist Edward Donovan with England given as the type locality. The specific name honours the English naturalist George Montagu who provided Donovan with an illustration and a description of this "beautiful little fish".
Liparis fabricii, commonly known as the gelatinous seasnail or gelatinous snailfish, is a benthopelagic species of snailfish from the Arctic Ocean. It has a tadpole-like body with a maximum length of about 20 cm (7.9 in). It is brown to black in coloration with a distinctive dark peritoneum. It preys on small crustaceans and marine worms. It is not commercially important, though it is a valuable food source for predatory fish and seabirds in the Arctic region.
Liparis is a large genus of snailfish from the northern hemisphere. They are very common in temperate and cold waters. Chernova (2008) has proposed that the genus should be subdivided into five subgenera: Liparis, Neoliparis, Lycocara, Careliparis, and Lyoliparis.
Liparis liparis, the common seasnail, striped seasnail or seasnail, is a small species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Liparidae, the snailfishes, in the order Scorpaeniformes, the scorpionfishes and flatheads. It is found in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean where it lives on the seabed.
Fins are moving appendages protruding from the body of fish that interact with water to generate thrust and help the fish swim. Apart from the tail or caudal fin, fish fins have no direct connection with the back bone and are supported only by muscles.
Liparis atlanticus, the Atlantic snailfish or Atlantic seasnail, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Liparidae, the snailfishes. This species is found in the western Atlantic Ocean off the eastern coast of North America.
Liparis mucosus, or the slimy snailfish, is a fish from the genus Liparis. The fish can be found from intertidal areas to 15 meters in depth. In general, they are not found in tide pools. The slimy snailfish ranges in the Northeastern Pacific Ocean from Sitka, Alaska to southern British Columbia, Canada as well as to Baja California, Mexico. It grows to 2.8–5 inches.
Liparis zonatus is a fish from the genus Liparis. It may be found in the Northwest Pacific Ocean in the Yellow Sea, Dalian, and south Liao Dong Wan. The fish's depth ranges from 58 to 910 meters.
Liparis marmoratus, or the festive snailfish, is a marine ray-finned fish from the genus Liparis. It was first described by Schmidt in 1950.
Liparis agassizii, in one instance called "Agassiz's snailfish", is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Liparidae, the snailfishes. It lives in the North Pacific Ocean at a depth range between zero and one hundred meters. The fish may especially be found from the Iwate Prefecture to Hokkaido, off the coast of Primorskiy, off the western and southeastern coast of Sakhalin, and in the southern Kuril Islands.
Liparis alboventer is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Liparidae, the snailfishes The species was originally described Careproctus alboventer by Zoya Valentinovna Krasyukova in 1984. Very little is known about the fish except from the type specimens caught. It may be found in marine habitats at ten degrees Celsius in the South Kuril Strait of the Northwest Pacific.
Liparis antarcticus is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Liparidae, the snailfishes. This species lives in the demersal zone and can be found in the Southeast Pacific Ocean by Chile, and it is the only known species from the genus Liparis to live in the Southern Hemisphere. L. antarcticus is known only from its holotype, and the type locality of Eden Harbor in Ultima in southern Chile, may be stated in error and the specimen may have been collected off California.
Liparis brashnikovi is a fish from the genus Liparis. The fish grows to a maximum of 15 cm. It is a marine fish that lives in the demersal zone. Distribution includes the Sea of Japan in the Northwest Pacific Ocean.
Liparis gibbus, the polka-dot snailfish, variegated snailfish or dusky snailfish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Liparidae, the snailfishes. This fish is found in Arctic waters. Juveniles of the species have been found to be biofluorescent.
