Mitsukurinidae is a family of sharks with one living genus, Mitsukurina, and four fossil genera: Anomotodon, Protoscapanorhynchus, Scapanorhynchus, and Woellsteinia, though some taxonomists consider Scapanorhynchus to be a synonym of Mitsukurina. The only known living species is the goblin shark, Mitsukurina owstoni.
David Starr Jordan was the founding president of Stanford University, serving from 1891 to 1913. He was an ichthyologist during his research career. Prior to serving as president of Stanford University, he served as president of Indiana University from 1884 to 1891.

Hexagrammidae, the greenlings, is a family of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the suborder Cottoidei in the order Scorpaeniformes. These fishes are found in the North Pacific Ocean.
John Otterbein Snyder was an American ichthyologist and professor of zoology at Stanford University.
Carl Henry Eigenmann was a German-American ichthyologist of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, who, along with his wife Rosa Smith Eigenmann, and his zoology students is credited with identifying and describing for the first time 195 genera containing nearly 600 species of fishes of North America and South America. Especially notable among his published papers are his studies of the freshwater fishes of South America, the evolution and systematics of South American fishes, and for his analysis of degenerative evolution based on his studies of blind cave fishes found in parts of North America and in Cuba. His most notable works are The American Characidae (1917–1929) and A revision of the South American Nematognathi or cat-fishes (1890), in addition to numerous published papers such as "Cave Vertebrates of North America, a study of degenerative evolution" (1909) and "The fresh-water fishes of Patagonia and an examination of the Archiplata-Archelenis theory" (1909).
Rosa Smith Eigenmann was an American ichthyologist, as well as a writer, editor, former curator at the California Academy of Sciences, and the first librarian of the San Diego Society of Natural History. She "is considered the first woman ichthyologist in the United States." Eigenmann was also the first woman to become president of Indiana University's chapter of Sigma Xi, an honorary science society. She authored twelve published papers of her own between 1880 and 1893, and collaborated with her husband, Carl H. Eigenmann, as "Eigenmann & Eigenmann" on twenty-five additional works between 1888 and 1893. Together, they are credited with describing about 150 species of fishes.
Ophiodon is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Hexagrammidae, the greenlings. It is found in the northeastern Pacific Ocean.
Scombrops gilberti is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a gnomefish from the family Scombropidae. It is found in the Western Pacific Ocean where it has been recorded off Hokkaido South to Suruga Bay. It grows To a maximum total length of 120 centimetres (47 in). this species was first formally described as Telescopias gilberti in 1901 by the American ichthyologists David Starr Jordan (1851–1931) and John Otterbein Snyder (1867–1943) with the type locality given as the sea between Misaki, Chiba and Oshima Island in Japan. The specific name honours the American ichthyologist Charles Henry Gilbert (1859–1928).
Rhamphinion is a genus of pterosaurs from the Sinemurian-mid Pliensbachian-age Lower Jurassic Kayenta Formation of northeastern Arizona, United States. The type species is R. jenkinsi.
Charles Henry Gilbert was a pioneer ichthyologist and fishery biologist of particular significance to natural history of the western United States. He collected and studied fishes from Central America north to Alaska and described many new species. Later he became an expert on Pacific salmon and was a noted conservationist of the Pacific Northwest. He is considered by many as the intellectual founder of American fisheries biology. He was one of the 22 "pioneer professors" of Stanford University.
Carl Leavitt Hubbs was an American ichthyologist.
Zoramia gilberti is a species of Cardinalfish from the Western Central Pacific. It occasionally makes its way into the aquarium trade. It grows to a size of 4.2 cm in length. Z. gilberti is found in sheltered bays and lagoons, where it gathers in large aggregations among branching corals, and frequently mixes with other cardinalfish species. The specific name honors the American ichthyologist and fisheries biologist Charles H. Gilbert (1859-1928) of Stanford University who was a colleague of David Starr Jordan's, who described this species with Alvin Seale in 1905.
Alisea is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine clupeiform fish that lived in what is now California during the Upper Miocene subepoch. Although generally considered a relative of the herrings in the family Clupeidae, an affinity to shads has also been suggested due to its large size and well-developed abdominal scutes. Its name derives from alise, an alternate spelling for the Hindi name of the related ilish fish.
Scalicus is a genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Peristediidae, the armoured gurnards or armored searobins. These fishes are found in the Indo-Pacific region.
Araeosteus is an extinct genus of marine ray-finned fish, closely related to the modern-day prowfish. It contains a single species, A. rothi which is known from Late Miocene (Tortonian)-aged marine strata in Southern California, primarily the Diatom Beds of Lompoc and the Santa Monica Mountains.
The Gilbert's garden eel, also known as the Gilbert's conger and the sharpnose conger, is an eel in the family Congridae. It was described by James Douglas Ogilby in 1898, originally under the genus Congrellus. It is a tropical, marine eel which is known from the eastern central and southeastern Pacific Ocean, including the Gulf of California, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, and Colombia. It is a benthic and nocturnal species, and inhabits sand flats in reefs, bays and coves at a depth range of 1–100 metres. It burrows into sand during the day and emerges to forage during the night. Males can reach a maximum total length of 27 centimetres.
Ophiodon ozymandias is an extinct species of lingcod from the Late Miocene of Southern California.
Hemilepidotus gilberti, Gilbert's Irish lord, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Agonidae, the poachers and sea ravens. This species occurs in the Northwestern Pacific Ocean from Hokkaido to the Bering Sea.
