Neoscombrops is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes from the family Acropomatidae, the lanternbellies or glowbellies. [2] The fish in this genus are found in the Atlantic Pacific and Indian Oceans.
The following species are classified within the genus: [2]
Neoscombrops was created by the Scottish South African zoologist John Dow Fisher Gilchrist (1866–1926) in 1922 when he described Neoscombrops annectens. [1] However, some authorities merge this genus with Verilus . [3] Fishbase continues to recognise it as a separate genus. [2]
Bass is a name shared by many species of fish. The term encompasses both freshwater and marine species, all belonging to the large order Perciformes, or perch-like fishes. The word bass comes from Middle English bars, meaning "perch".
Acropomatidae is a family of fish in the order Perciformes, commonly known as lanternbellies. Acropoma species are notable for having light-emitting organs along their undersides. They are found in all temperate and tropical oceans, usually at depths of several hundred meters. There are about 32 species in as many as 9 genera, although some authorities recognise fewer genera than Fishbase does.
Secutor is a genus of ponyfishes native to the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean.
Acropoma is a genus of 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.
The three-spined cardinalfish is a species of fish in the family Acropomatidae, the temperate ocean-basses or lanternbellies. It is endemic to the marine waters off of Australia.
The blackthroat seaperch, also known as the rosy seabass, is a species of fish in the family Acropomatidae, the temperate ocean-basses or lanternbellies. It is the only species in the monotypic genus Doederleinia. It is native to the eastern Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean from Japan to Australia. In Japan it is known as Nodoguro, or Akamutsu.
Malakichthys is a genus of fish in the family Acropomatidae, the temperate ocean-basses or lanternfishes. They are native to the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean.
Verilus sordidus is a species of fish in the family Acropomatidae, the temperate ocean-basses or lanternbellies. It is native to the central western Atlantic Ocean. It is found in the waters off Cuba to Colombia and Venezuela where it is found at depths shallower than 100 metres (330 ft) over rocky bottoms.
Verilus is a genus of fish in the family Acropomatidae found in the Atlantic.
Acropoma hanedai is a species of ray-finned fish, a lanternbelly from the family Acropomatidae. It occurs in the north-western Pacific Ocean from southern Japan to Taiwan. It is a food fish which is caught by trawling.
Acropoma japonicum, the glowbelly, is a fish species in the family Acropomatidae found in the Indo-West Pacific. It is a benthopelagic predatory fish with a bioluminescent organ on its ventral surface. The glowbelly is an important food fish in some areas.
Acropoma profundum, Solomon's lanternbelly, is a species of ray-finned fish, a lanternbelly from the family Acropomatidae. It is found in the western South Pacific Ocean in waters near the Solomon Islands. The types were taken from depths of 1,169–1,203 metres (3,835–3,947 ft), making this the deepest living species of the genus Acropoma.
Parascombrops pellucidus is a species of perciform fish in the Family of Acropomatidae.
Parascombrops analis, the threespine seabass, is a species of perciform fish in the family Acropomatidae.
The thinlip splitfin is a species of fish in the family Acropomatidae, the lanternbellies. It lives around Africa's Atlantic coast at a depth of 50–500 m and can grow up to 16.5 cm long.
Parascombrops philippinensis, the sharptooth seabass, is a species of fish in the family Acropomatidae, the lanternbellies. It usually inhabits a depth of 180–220 metres and lives in and around the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, where it reaches a length of around 13 centimetres.
Verilus pseudomicrolepis is a species of fish in the family Acropomatidae, the lanternbellies. It lives at a depth of approximately 200–600 metres and mainly inhabits the Caribbean Sea, reaching a length of around 14.5 centimetres.
Parascombrops serratospinosus, the roughspine seabass is a species of fish in the family Acropomatidae, the lanternbellies. It is found in the Western Pacific commonly from Taiwan and the Philippines to northwestern Australia and Vanuatu but it is rare in the waters off Japan
The three-spine bass is a species of ray-finned fish, a lanternbelly from the family Acropomatidae. It is a deep water species which is found in the western Atlantic from the northeastern Gulf of Mexico to Surinam. This fish was first formally described in 1984 as Synagrops trispinosus but in 2017 was placed in the monotypic genus Caraibops.
Paracombrops is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes from the family Acropomatidae, the lanternbellies or glowbellies. The fish in this genus are found in the Indo-Pacific.
