Synbranchus is a genus of swamp eels native to Central and South America.
There are currently three recognized species in this genus: [3]
Acropomatidae is a family of fish in the order Perciformes, commonly known as lanternbellies. Acropoma species are notable for having light-emitting organs along their undersides. They are found in all temperate and tropical oceans, usually at depths of several hundred meters. There are about 32 species in as many as 9 genera, although some authorities recognise fewer genera than Fishbase does.
Trichogaster is a genus of gouramis native to South Asia from Pakistan to Myanmar. It is the only genus in the monotypic subfamily Trichogastrinae as set out in the 5th Edition of Fishes of the World, although that book states that there are two genera, the other being Colisa which is treated as a synonym of Trichogaster by Fishbase and the Catalog of Fishes. Fishbase also places the genus in the Luciocephalinae. Species of this genus are very popular in the aquarium trade.
The sea chubs are a family, Kyphosidae, of fishes in the order Perciformes native to the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans usually close to shore in marine waters.
Springerichthys is a genus of triplefins in the family Tripterygiidae. The two species in this genus are found in the western Pacific Ocean.
Remora is a genus of remoras native to temperate to tropical marine waters worldwide.
Characodon is a genus of splitfins endemic to north–central Mexico. Two of the species are highly threatened and restricted to pools, ponds and springs in the upper San Pedro Mezquital River basin in Durango. The third species, C. garmani, was restricted to springs near Parras in Coahuila, but it became extinct when they dried out.
Monopterus is a genus of swamp eels mainly native to Asia, but with two species in Africa. They live in various freshwater habitats and some have a fossorial lifestyle. Three species, M. eapeni, M. digressus and M. roseni, live in underground waters.
Ophisternon is a genus of swamp eels found in fresh and brackish waters in South and Southeast Asia, New Guinea, Australia, Middle America and West Africa. Two species are blind cave-dwellers.
Teramulus kieneri, the Keiner's silverside or vily, is a species of silverside endemic to Madagascar where it is found in rivers around on the eastern coast. This species was described by J.L.B. Smith in 1965 with the type locality given as the coastal swamps near Tamatave. It has since been found in other areas of the island, including the basin pf the Nosivolo River and in the Bemarivo River. Smith gave this species the specific name keineri to honour the French fisheries scientist, André Kiener, who assisted in the collection of the type in 1961, although it was initially reported as Atherinomorus duodecimalis. It is the type species of the genus Teramulus.
Echeneis is a genus of fish in the family Echeneidae, the remoras. The genus is distributed in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans.
Bangana is a genus of fish in the family Cyprinidae, the carps and minnows. It is distributed across much of southern and eastern Asia. Species live mainly in the flowing waters of tropical and subtropical rivers.
Spectrunculus is a genus of cusk-eels found in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Fodiator is a genus of flying fishes. It is the only genus in the subfamily Fodiatorinae.
Pillaia is a small genus of spineless eels native to Asia.
Macrotrema caligans is a species of swamp eel native to Peninsular Malaysia and the Mae Nam Chao Praya basin in Thailand. The male guards a nest in a burrow. This species is the only known member of its genus.
Pseudocaranx is a genus of ray-finned fishes from the family Carangidae, the jacks, trevallies, scads and pompanos. They occurs in the western Atlantic Ocean and in the Indo-Pacific.
Selene is a genus of carangids, commonly known as lookdowns and moonfishes, native to the Atlantic Ocean and the eastern Pacific Ocean.
Hemigymnus is a genus of wrasses native to the Indian and Pacific oceans.
The licorice gourami is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish from the subfamily Macropodusinae, part of the family Osphronemidae, the gouramis. It is endemic to Bangka in Indonesia where it is found in the slow, flowing streams with black waters associated with peat swamp forests. This species was formally described by the Dutch ichthyologist Pieter Bleeker as Osphromenus deissneri in 1859 with the type locality given as Sungai Baturussa basin at 8 kilometres from Pudingbesar on the road to Kampong Simpan, Bangka. It is the type species of the genus Parosphromenus. The specific name honours F. H. Deissner, a military health officer, who sent a collection of specimens of fishes from Bangka to Bleeker which included the type of this species.
Polyprion is a genus of marine ray-finned fish from the family Polyprionidae, the wreckfishes.
