Taeniacanthidae is a family of cyclopoid copepods in the order Cyclopoida. There are more than 20 genera and 120 described species in Taeniacanthidae. [1] [2]
These 23 genera belong to the family Taeniacanthidae:
Plagiaulacida is a group of extinct multituberculate mammals. Multituberculates were among the most common mammals of the Mesozoic, "the age of the dinosaurs". Plagiaulacids are a paraphyletic grouping, containing all multituberculates that lie outside of the advanced group Cimolodonta. They ranged from the Middle Jurassic Period to the early Late Cretaceous of the northern hemisphere. During the Cenomanian, they were replaced by the more advanced cimolodontans.
The yellow tang, also known as the lemon sailfin, yellow sailfin tang or somber surgeonfish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Acanthuridae which includes the surgeonfishes, unicornfishes and tangs. It is one of the most popular marine aquarium fish. It is bright yellow in color, and it lives in reefs. The yellow tang spawn around a full moon. The yellow tang eats algae. The yellow tang has a white barb, located just before the tail fin, to protect itself.
Siphonostomatoida is an order of copepods, containing around 75% of all the copepods that parasitise fishes. Their success has been linked to their possession of siphon-like mandibles and of a "frontal filament" to aid attachment to their hosts. Most are marine, but a few live in fresh water. There are 40 recognised families:
Poecilostomatoida are an suborder of copepods. Although it was previously considered a separate order, recent research showed it to be nested within the Cyclopoida
Synodus is a genus of fish in the family Synodontidae found in Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans.
The following is a list of players, both past and current, who appeared in at least one game for the New York Yankees franchise, including the 1901–02 Baltimore Orioles, and the 1903–12 New York Highlanders.
Ergasilidae is a widespread family of copepods and comprises many species. The type genus is Ergasilus. With a few doubtful exceptions all ergasilids are parasitic on fishes.
Bomolochidae is a family of copepods parasitic on marine fishes. Most species parasitize the gills of fish, but some species live in the nostrils or on the eyes of their hosts. The family contains just over 150 species from the following genera:
Xarifiidae is a family of cyclopoid copepods in the order Cyclopoida. There are about 5 genera and more than 90 described species in Xarifiidae.
Chondracanthidae is a family of parasitic copepods, usually found infecting the branchial chamber of demersal fishes. It comprises the following genera:
Rhynchomolgidae is a family of cyclopoid copepods in the order Cyclopoida. There are more than 40 genera and 280 described species in Rhynchomolgidae.
Anchimolgidae is a family of cyclopoid copepods in the order Cyclopoida. There are more than 30 genera and 130 described species in Anchimolgidae.
Synapticolidae is a family of cyclopoid copepods in the order Cyclopoida. There are about 11 genera and at least 50 described species in Synapticolidae. Characteristics of this family include the expression of body segments in both sexes, well-developed swimming legs, and a tapering mandible with toothed margins.
Pennellidae is a family of parasitic copepods. When anchored on a host, they have a portion of the body on the outside of the host, whereas the remaining anterior part of the parasite is hidden inside tissues of the host.
Caligus is a genus of sea lice in the family Caligidae. The species are parasites of marine fishes and could be vectors of viruses. As of 2017, the World Register of Marine Species includes the following species:
Hamaticolax is a genus of parasitic copepods belonging to the family Bomolochidae. Its members can only be distinguished from the closely related genus Acantholochus by the presence of an accessory process on the claw of the maxillipeds. It includes the following species:
Lepeophtheirus is a genus of sea louse. The best-known species is L. salmonis, the salmon louse. Other species include L. pectoralis, which uses flatfish as its host, particularly the European flounder, and is also the type species of the genus Lepeophtheirus.
Eudactylinidae is a family of copepods, most of which live as parasites on the gills of elasmobranch fishes; two genera lives on the gills of teleost fishes.
Stellicomitidae is a family of crustaceans belonging to the order Siphonostomatoida.
