Platytroctes is a genus of ray-finned fish in the family Platytroctidae, the tubeshoulders.
There are currently two recognized species in this genus: [2]
The Percidae are a family of ray-finned fish, part of the order Perciformes, which are found in fresh and brackish waters of the Northern Hemisphere. The majority are Nearctic, but there are also Palearctic species. The family contains more than 200 species in 11 genera. The perches and their relatives are in this family; well-known species include the walleye, sauger, ruffe, and three species of perch. However, small fish known as darters are also a part of this family.
The Squaliformes are an order of sharks that includes about 126 species in seven families.
Sander is a genus of predatory ray-finned fish in the family Percidae, which also includes the perches, ruffes, and darters. They are also known as "pike-perch" because of their resemblance to fish in the unrelated Esocidae (pike) family. They are the only genus in the monotypic tribe Luciopercini, which is one of two tribes in the subfamily Luciopercinae.
Notothenioidei is one of 19 suborders of the order Perciformes. The group is found mainly in Antarctic and Subantarctic waters, with some species ranging north to southern Australia and southern South America. Notothenioids constitute approximately 90% of the fish biomass in the continental shelf waters surrounding Antarctica.
The tubeshoulders are a family, Platytroctidae, of ray-finned fish belonging to the order Alepocephaliformes. They are found throughout the world, except for the Mediterranean Sea. Tubeshoulders live at moderate depths of 300 to 1,000 m, and some have light-producing organs. They are generally small to medium fish, ranging from 9 to 33 cm in length.
Gymnocephalus is a genus of ray-finned fishes from the family Percidae, which includes the perches, pike-perches and darters. They are from the Western Palearctic area, although one species, Gymnocephalus cernua has been accidentally introduced to the Great Lakes region where it is regarded as an invasive species. They have the common name "ruffe" and resemble the true perches in the genus Perca, but are usually smaller and have a different pattern.
An anchovy is a small, common forage fish of the family Engraulidae. Most species are found in marine waters, but several will enter brackish water, and some in South America are restricted to fresh water.
Barbantus s a genus of deepwater marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Platytroctidae, the tube shoulders. The fishes in this genus are found in the tropical and temperate areas of the world's oceans but are best known from the Atlantic Ocean.
Holtbyrnia is a genus of deepwater marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Platytroctidae, the tubeshoulders. The fishes in this genus are found in the Eastern Atlantic Ocean, the Indo-West Pacific and the southeastern Pacific Ocean.
Maulisia is a genus of deepwater marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Platytroctidae, the tube shoulders. The species in this genus are known from the Eastern Atlantic and Eastern Pacific Oceans.
Normichthys is a genus of deepwater marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Platytroctidae, the tube shoulders. The species in this genus are known from tropical and temperate oceans around the world.
Sagamichthys is a genus of tubeshoulders. The generic name derives from Sagami Bay, Japan, and the Greek ἰχθύς (ichthys), "fish".
Searsia koefoedi, or Koefoed's searsid, is a species of tubeshoulder found in the oceans at depths of from 450 to 1,500 metres. It is named after Norwegian marine biologist Einar Koefoed.
Platytroctes apus is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Platytroctidae, the tubeshoulders. It is known commonly as the legless searsid and legless tubeshoulder. It is native to tropical and temperate oceans around the world. It has been found at depths between 385 and 5393 meters, but it generally remains between 1000 and 2000 meters.
Barbantus curvifrons, commonly known as the palebelly searsid, is a species of ray-finned fish known from the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean and the eastern Atlantic Ocean where it has been found at depths below 500 metres (1,600 ft). The generic name Barbantus is derived from the Latin, "barba", a beard.
The bighead searsid is a species of tubeshoulder fish.
Schnakenbeck's searsid is a species of fish in the family Platytroctidae (tubeshoulders).
Searsid is a term used to refer to fish of the family Platytroctidae that resemble Searsia koefoedi. Fish referred to as searsids include:
The multipore searsid is a species of fish in the family Platytroctidae (tubeshoulders).
Maul's searsid, also called Maul's tubeshoulder, is a species of fish in the family Platytroctidae (tubeshoulders), named for Günther Maul.
