Pteraclis is a genus of ray-finned fish in the family Bramidae, the pomfrets. They are known commonly as fanfishes. The three species are distributed throughout the oceans of the world. [1]
Species include: [2]
The big-scale pomfret also known as the long-finned bream, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a pomfret of the family Bramidae. It is found in the Atlantic ocean, at depths down to 500 metres (1,600 ft). This species is widely distributed in the Pacific, from temperate zones throughout the tropics. They are commonly encountered around seamounts. This species reaches a length of up to 100 centimetres (39 in) SL. This species is of minor importance to the commercial fisheries industry. Bigscale pomfrets are common marketed bycatch species in pelagic longline fisheries targeting Yellowfin tuna or Bigeye tuna. The overall color is dark metallic gray to black. The flesh is white. The pelvic fins are short and black with a brilliant white tip. The caudal fin is a symmetrical crescent with rounded tips. It has a clear white rear edge, widest at the center of the tail, tapering away towards the fin tips. The pectoral fin is transparent gray with a clear white rear edge. From Ireland there are only two records of this fish. The last being from Co. Wicklow. In Hawaii this fish is called “monchong”, along with the Lustrous pomfret.
The squaretails are a genus, Tetragonurus, of scombriform ray-finned fishes, the only genus in the family Tetragonuridae.
Hippoglossus is a genus of very large righteye flounders. It comprises two species of halibut, with one species native to the northern Atlantic Ocean and the other species native to the northern Pacific Ocean.
Atheresthes is a genus of righteye flounders native to the northern Pacific Ocean where both species are important commercially.
Eopsetta is a genus of righteye flounders native to the northern Pacific Ocean.
Verasper is a genus of righteye flounders native to the north-western Pacific Ocean.
Glyptocephalus is a genus of righteye flounders found in the northern Atlantic and northern Pacific Oceans
Pleuronichthys is a genus of fish in the family Pleuronectidae found in the Pacific Ocean.
Crossorhombus is a genus of small lefteye flounders native to the Indian and West Pacific Oceans.
Solea is a genus of soles from the Indo-Pacific and East Atlantic Oceans, and the Mediterranean Sea.
Pterycombus is a genus of pomfrets distinguished by greatly elongated dorsal and anal fins. Along with the genus Pteraclis, they are commonly referred to as fanfishes. Pterycombus can be distinguished from Pteraclis by examining the dorsal and anal fin rays, which should be relatively uniform in thickness to neighboring rays and by a lack of scales anterior to the dorsal fin.
Taractes is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes from the family Bramidae, the pomfrets. Taractes can be distinguished from other bramid genera but having a flat, or slightly curved profile, between the eyes and by having scales on both the dorsal and anal fins.
Taractichthys is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes from the family Bramidae, the pomfrets.
Neocaristius heemstrai is a species of fish in the family Caristiidae, the manefishes. It is native to the oceans of the southern hemisphere where it is known to occur at depths of from 420 to 1,360 metres. This species grows to a length of 11.8 centimetres (4.6 in) SL.
Icichthys is a genus of medusafishes that are native to the eastern Indian Ocean and the northern Pacific Ocean.
Psenopsis is a genus of medusafishes native to the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean.
Pampus is a genus of ray-finned fish of the family Stromateidae. They are an important food fish in East and Southeast Asia. In common parlance they are often called pomfrets, although scientifically the term pomfret properly refers to fish of the genus Bramidae. An alternative name for "pomfrets" of the Pampus genus is "pompano".
Pterycombus brama is a species of ray-finned fish belonging to the family Bramidae (pomfrets).
Brama orcini is a species of scombriform ray-finned fish in the family Bramidae (pomfrets).
Brama myersi is a species of scombriform ray-finned fish in the family Bramidae.
