Parabothus is a genus of fish in the family Bothidae native to the Indian and Pacific Ocean.
There are currently 10 recognized species in this genus:
Citharichthys is a genus of flatfish in the large-tooth flounder family, Paralichthyidae. They have both eyes on the left sides of their heads. They are native to the oceans around the Americas, with a single species, C. stampflii off the West African coast. Most are found in relatively shallow depths, but the genus also includes species found in deep water and species that enter fresh water.
Pleuronectidae, also known as righteye flounders, are a family of flounders. They are called "righteye flounders" because most species lie on the sea bottom on their left sides, with both eyes on their right sides. The Paralichthyidae are the opposite, with their eyes on the left side. A small number of species in Pleuronectidae can also have their eyes on the left side, notably the members of the genus Platichthys.
Scorpaenodes is a genus of fish in the family Scorpaenidae native to the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Ocean.
Scorpaenopsis is a genus of scorpionfishes native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
Neomerinthe is a genus of fish in the family Scorpaenidae found in Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Ocean.
Synodus is a genus of fish in the family Synodontidae found in Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Ocean.
Nematops is a genus of righteye flounders native to the Indo-West Pacific. Due to their small size and depth of habitation few examples of this genus are caught, and as a result little is known of their morphology and distribution.
Poecilopsetta is a genus of small righteye flounders mainly found in deep water in the Indo-Pacific. Two species, P. beanii and P. inermis, are from the West Atlantic.
Chascanopsetta is a genus of flatfish in the family Bothidae found in deeper parts of the Pacific and Indian Oceans with a single species, C. lugubris also occurring in the Atlantic Ocean. It contains nine member species.
Champsodon is the sole genus in the family Champsodontidae. These fishes, the crocodile toothfishes, are native to the Indo-Pacific region.
Careproctus is a genus of snailfishes found in benthic and benthopelagic habitats in the Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic and Southern Oceans. Whether they truly are absent from the Indian Ocean is unknown and might be an artifact of limited sampling. They range from shallow coastal seas in the far north of their range to the abyssal zone, at depths of 6 to 5,459 m (20–17,910 ft). In the Northern Hemisphere they mostly live shallower than Paraliparis, but this pattern is reversed in the Southern Hemisphere. Although almost entirely restricted to very cold waters, a single species, C. hyaleius, lives at hydrothermal vents.
Upeneus is a genus of goatfishes native to the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans.
Oneirodes is a genus of fish in the family Oneirodidae.
The scaldfishes comprise a genus, Arnoglossus, of lefteye flounders. They are found in the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic Oceans, including the Mediterranean and Black Sea. They are entirely absent from most of the Americas; the only exceptions are A. coeruleosticta and A. multirastris found off Chile. The genus include both species found in shallow and deeper water. The largest species reaches 28 cm (11 in).
Engyprosopon is a genus of small lefteye flounders. They are found in the Indo-Pacific, ranging from shallow coastal waters to depths in excess of 400 m (1,300 ft).
Syacium is a genus of large-tooth flounders found in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. With the exception of S. guineensis from the Atlantic coast of Africa, all species are from the Americas. The largest species in the genus reaches 40 cm (16 in) in length.
Samariscus is a genus of crested flounders native to the Indo-Pacific.
Artediellus is a genus of sculpins native to the northern Pacific Ocean.
Icelinus is a genus of sculpins native to the Pacific Ocean.
Hoplichthys is a genus of fishes native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans. This genus is the only member of the family Hoplichthyidae.
