Rhinoliparis is a genus of snailfishes native to the northern Pacific Ocean.
There are currently two recognized species in this genus: [2]
The snailfishes or sea snails are a family of marine ray-finned fishes. These fishes make up the Liparidae, which is classified within the order Scorpaeniformes.
Paraliparis is a genus of fish in the family Liparidae, the snailfishes. It is found in benthic, benthopelagic and pelagic habitats in all the world's oceans.
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.
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.
Psednos is a genus of snailfishes found in all the world's 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.
Liparis is a large genus of snailfish from the northern hemisphere. They are very common in temperate and cold waters. Chernova (2008) has proposed that the genus should be subdivided into five subgenera: Liparis, Neoliparis, Lycocara, Careliparis, and Lyoliparis.
Agonopsis is a genus of poachers native to the Pacific Ocean.
Lethotremus is a monospecific genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Cyclopteridae, the lumpfishes or lumpsuckers. This genus is found in the northern Pacific Ocean. Following a 2017 taxonomic review by Lee et al., the species Lethotremus awae was reclassified as a species of Eumicrotremus, leaving the genus monotypic with Lethotremus muticus as its only species. Also known as the docked snailfish, is a species of lumpfish native to the Northeast Pacific. It is known from the Bering Sea and the Aleutian Islands, where its range extends to Unimak Pass, and it occurs at a depth range of 58 to 330 m. It is a benthic species that reaches 11.5 cm in total length. It can be found on substrates of mud, rock, or gravel, and it is currently the only known species of Lethotremus, following a reclassification of the second described species in the genus as Eumicrotremus awae.
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.
Elassodiscus is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Liparidae, the snailfishes. These fishes are found in the Pacific Ocean.
The hardhead snailfish is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Liparidae, the snailfishes. This species is found in the northern Pacific Ocean where a single specimen was collected in June 2000 from near the Aleutian Islands at a depth of 285 m (935 ft). The length of the fish was 3.3 cm (1.3 in) SL. This species is the only member of the monospecific genus Lopholiparis. The specific name honors the collector of the holotype, William C. Flerx of the National Marine Fisheries Service.
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.
Osteodiscus is a genus of snailfishes native to the Pacific Ocean.
The gloved snailfish is a species of snailfish found around the northern Kuril Islands in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. It is the only species in the genus Palmoliparis. This species can be found at depths of from 200 to 800 m. This species grows to a length of 42 centimetres (17 in) TL though more usually around 29.6 cm (11.7 in) TL. The maximum known weight for this species is 1,080 g (38 oz).
Pseudonotoliparis rassi, or Rass' snailfish, is a species of snailfish native to the northwestern Pacific Ocean where it is known from the Boussole Strait in the Kuril Islands. This species has been found at a depth of 2,200 metres (7,200 ft). This species grows to a length of 8.8 centimetres (3.5 in) SL. This species is the only known member of the monospecific genus Pseudonotoliparis.
Volodichthys is a genus of snailfishes found in deep water, more than 750 m (2,460 ft), of southern oceans near Antarctica and southern South America. Its members were formerly included in the genus Careproctus.
Liparis gibbus, the polka-dot snailfish, variegated snailfish or dusky snailfish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Liparidae, the snailfishes. This fish is found in Arctic waters. Juveniles of the species have been found to be biofluorescent.
