Osteodiscus is a genus of snailfishes native to the Pacific Ocean.
There are currently four recognized species in this genus: [2] [3] [4]
The sea chubs, also known as rudderfish and pilot fish and in Hawaiian as enenue or nenue, are a family, Kyphosidae, of fishes in the order Perciformes native to the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans usually close to shore in marine waters.
Psychrolutes is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Psychrolutidae, the fatheads and toadfishes. Though found predominantly in the deep sea, a handful of species are present in the intertidal regions of the North Pacific rim. In June 2003, During the NORFANZ Expedition north-west of New Zealand, scientists trawled a specimen of P. microporos at a depth between 1,013 metres (3,323 ft) and 1,340 metres (4,400 ft) on the Norfolk Ridge.
Notoliparis is a genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Liparidae, the snailfishes. These fishes are found in deep Oceanic trenches in the South Atlantic South Pacific and Southern Oceans.
Aetheliparis rossi is a species of snailfish only known from the mesopelagic zone in the North Atlantic off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. This species is found at depths of from 500 to 674 metres.
Bangana is a genus of fish in the family Cyprinidae, the carps and minnows. It is distributed across much of southern and eastern Asia. Species live mainly in the flowing waters of tropical and subtropical rivers.
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.
Ereunias is a monotypic genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Rhamphocottidae, the grunt sculpins. Its only species is Ereunias grallator which is a bathydemersal species found at depths of around 500 m (1,600 ft) in the northwestern Pacific Ocean off Japan. This species attains a maximum published total length of 30 cm (12 in). This species was first formally described in 1901 by the American ichthyologists David Starr Jordan and John Otterbein Snyder from Misaki, Sagami in Japan. Jordan and Snyder proposed the new genus Ereunias for the new species. The genus name is derived from ereunao, meaning "to explore" which may refer how it uses elongated pectoral-fin rays as feelers or “feet” to explore the substrate; suffixed with ias which is used in some Greek names for fishes. The specific name grallator is "stiltwalker" in Latin and is an allusion to the elongated pectoral fin rays. Along with the genus Marukawichthys this taxon was classified in the family Ereunidae but this was synonymised with the Rhamphocottidae in 2014.
Acantholiparis is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belongong to the family Liparidae, the snailfishes. These fishes are found in the northern Pacific Ocean.
Aetheliparis is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Liparidae, the snailfishes. One species known from the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of North America and the other from the Pacific Ocean near New Zealand.
Allocareproctus is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Liparidae, the snailfishes. These fish are found in the northern Pacific Ocean.
Crystallichthys is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Liparidae, the snailfishes. These fishes are found in the northern Pacific Ocean.
Elassodiscus is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Liparidae, the snailfishes. These fishes are found in the Pacific Ocean.
Genioliparis is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Liparidae, the snailfishes. These fishes are found in the Pacific and Southern Oceans.
Gyrinichthys is a monospecific genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Liparidae, the snailfishes. It only species is Gyrinichthys minytremus which is found in the northeastern Pacific Ocean where a single specimen was found once at a depth of 640 metres (2,100 ft) near Unalaska island.
The pygmy snailfish species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Liparidae, the snailfishes. This species is found in the northern Pacific Ocean where it occurs in deep waters down to 910 metres (2,990 ft). The range is broad, extending from the Sea of Okhotsk north to the western Bering Sea, and from Monterey Bay, California, north to the Gulf of Alaska. This species grows to a length of 6.3 centimetres (2.5 in) SL in males and to 7.1 centimetres (2.8 in) SL in females. It is the only known member of the genus Lipariscus.
Menziesichthys is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Liparidae, the snail fishes. These are deep water fishes found in the Pacific Ocean.
The tadpole snailfish is a species of snailfish native to the north Pacific Ocean where it can be found at depths down to 3,383 metres (11,099 ft). This species grows to a length of 6.5 centimetres (2.6 in) SL. This species is the only known member of the monospecific genus Nectoliparis.
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 antarcticus is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Liparidae, the snailfishes. This species lives in the demersal zoneand 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.
Careproctus ovigerus, commonly known as the abyssal snailfish, is a species of snailfish found in the northeastern Pacific Ocean. It is found at depths of 1,920–2,910 m (6,300–9,550 ft) off northern British Columbia and off Washington state.
