Ophiclinops is a genus of clinids native to the coast of southern Australia.
There are currently three recognized species in this genus: [1]
Threefin or triplefin blennies are blenniiforms, small percomorph marine fish of the family Tripterygiidae. Found in tropical and temperate waters of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans, the family contains about 150 species in 30 genera. The family name derives from the Greek tripteros meaning "with three wings".
Allan Riverstone McCulloch was a prominent Australian ichthyologist.
Norfolkia is a genus of triplefins in the family Tripterygiidae. They are found I the Indo-Pacific region.
Platycephalus is a genus of mostly marine, bottom-dwelling fish in the family Platycephalidae. It is particularly diverse in the Australian region where 16 of the 19 Platycephalus species are present.
Scortum is a genus of Australian fresh and brackish water fishes in the family Terapontidae, the grunters.
Omegaphora is a genus of pufferfishes native to the coastal waters of Australia.
Ariosoma is a genus of marine congrid eels.
Thymichthys is a genus in the handfish family Brachionichthyidae. Like other handfishes, they move by means of walking on their pectoral fins, which resemble hands.
Ophiclinus is a genus of clinids native to the coastal waters around Australia.
Ophiclinops hutchinsi, the Earspot snakeblenny, is a species of clinid native to reefs with seagrass or weed growth at depths of from 13 to 15 metres along the coast of south east Western Australia.
Ophiclinops pardalis, the Spotted snakeblenny, is a species of clinids native to the coastal waters of southern Australia in seagrass beds. It can reach a maximum length of 7 centimetres (2.8 in) TL.
Helcogramma decurrens, known commonly as the black-throated triplefin, is a species of triplefin blenny in the genus Helcogramma. It was described by Allan Riverstone McCulloch and Edgar Ravenswood Waite in 1918. This species occurs along the western and southern coasts of Australia where it is found down to depths of 13 metres (43 ft) in both the intertidal and subtidal zones where it hides among algae growing on rocky substrates.
Echinophryne is a small genus of frogfishes.
Dipulus is a genus of viviparous brotulas.
Ammodytoides is a genus of sand lances native to the Indian and Pacific oceans.
Boleophthalmus is a genus of mudskippers native to the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean.
The Lord Howe conger is an eel in the family Congridae. It was described by Allan Riverstone McCulloch and Edgar Ravenswood Waite in 1916, originally under the genus Congermuraena. It is a marine, deep water-dwelling eel which is known from the western Pacific Ocean, including northeastern Australia, New Caledonia, and the South Fiji Basin. It is known to dwell at a depth range of 60–600 metres. Females can reach a maximum total length of 42.2 centimetres.
Oxyurichthys is a genus of fish in the subfamily Gobionellinae, known commonly as arrowfin gobies. They are distributed in the tropical and subtropical Indian and Pacific Oceans; one species is also known from the western Atlantic Ocean. Most species live in shallow waters under 10 meters deep over fine substrates such as silt.
Atypichthys is a genus of sea chubs native to inshore waters from Australia to New Zealand and the Kermadec Islands, with currently two recognized species:
Labracoglossa is a genus of sea chubs native to the western Pacific Ocean.
