Ogcocephalus Corniger
''Ogcocephalus corniger'', the longnose batfish, is a species of batfish found at depths between in the Atlantic Ocean, ranging from North Carolina to the Gulf of Mexico and the Bahamas. Like other members of the family Ogcocephalidae, it has a flat triangular body with coloring varying from yellowish to purple with pale, round spots. The lips are orange-red. Projecting from its head is a characteristic structure that is shared by other anglerfish.

Ogcocephalus Porrectus
''Ogcocephalus porrectus'', the rosy-lipped batfish, is endemic to Cocos Island off the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. Though members of Ogcocephalidae occur in tropical, warm waters in both the Western Atlantic and Eastern Pacific. Rosy-lipped batfish generally reside in shallow to deep water benthic zones with a bathymetric range of 35 – 150 m. The syntypic series was collected at 120 m on a rocky bottom. What makes this fish distinctive are its rosy red lips, specialized pectoral fins used for "walking", and an illicium used for attracting prey. Physical description The most distinctive structure of ''Ogcocephalus porrectus'' is its illicium, which is thought to be derived from its dorsal fin spine as it is in most Lophiiformes.Bradbury, M.G. 1967. The genera of batfishes (Family Ogcocephalidae). Copeia, 2: 399-422. DOI: 10.2307/1442130 The anterior tip of the illicium bears a fleshy organ known as the esca, which appears as two bulbous lobes in ''O. porrectus''. ''Ogcoceph ...

Ogcocephalus Notatus
''Ogcocephalus notatus'', the oval batfish, is a species of batfish in the family Ogcocephalidae. It is found in the tropical western Atlantic Ocean. Description ''Ogcocephalus notatus'' attains a maximum length of about . The fins have no spines; the dorsal fin has five soft rays, the anal fin has four and the pectoral fins each have at least thirteen rays. The mouth is wide and the pupils of the eyes are oval. Distribution and habitat ''Ogcocephalus notatus'' is native to the tropical western Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. Its range extends from the West Indies and Central America to the mouth of the Amazon in Brazil. Its typical habitat is the seabed, on sand or coral rubble, in open areas with shells and fronds of seaweed or in seagrass meadow A seagrass meadow or seagrass bed is an underwater ecosystem formed by seagrasses. Seagrasses are marine (saltwater) plants found in shallow coastal waters and in the brackish waters of estuaries. Seagrasses are flowering ...

Ogcocephalus Darwini
The red-lipped batfish or Galapagos batfish (''Ogcocephalus darwini'') is a fish of unusual morphology found around the Galapagos Islands and off Peru at depths of . Red-lipped batfish are closely related to rosy-lipped batfish (''Ogcocephalus porrectus''), which are found near Cocos Island off the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. This fish is mainly known for its bright red lips. Batfish are not good swimmers; they use their highly adapted pectoral, pelvic and anal fins to "walk" on the ocean floor. When the batfish reaches maturity, its dorsal fin becomes a single spine-like projection (thought to function primarily as a lure for prey). Diet The species is a piscivore/invertivore, mainly feeding on other small fish and small invertebrates including shrimp, crabs, worms and mollusks. Description The red-lipped batfish reaches up to in length. Its body color is light brown and a greyish colour on its back, with white countershading Countershading, or Thayer's law, is a metho ...

Ogcocephalus Vespertilio
''Ogcocephalus vespertilio'', the Brazilian batfish or seadevil, is a species of batfish. Its distribution includes the western Atlantic, from the Antilles to Brazil, more specifically on the coast of Brazil, occurring from the Amazon River to La Plata River This species grows to a length of TL. It lives on the ocean-floor, covered in sand. The fish are flat, resembling pancakes. It preys on bottom-dwelling invertebrates. These fish are nocturnal, and typically prey on other bottom-dwelling organisms in the early morning. The Brazilian Batfish stays stationary and hidden in rock holes and other small crevices during the day. While active, it searches for prey walking along the bottom with the help of its specialized paired fins, with the illicium protracted and oscillating or exploring the substrate. The prey are either snapped up from the bottom, after visual detection, or dug out with use of the mouth and rostrum. It feeds on crustaceans (hermit crabs, true crabs, shrim ...

Ogcocephalus Radiatus
''Ogcocephalus radiatus'' or the polka-dot batfish is an arrow-shaped fish in the family Ogcocephalidae with an elongated thin tail. It is dorso-ventrally flattened with round pectoral fins that sit flat on the bottom of the sea floor. It uses its pectoral fins and pelvic fins to "walk" along the bottom in a side-to-side shuffling motion. Description The polka-dot batfish is a bottom-dwelling fish that can measure up to from head to tail. It is a broad, dorso-ventrally flattened, arrow-shaped fish similar in appearance to a ray. The pelvic fins are located further forward than the broad, pectoral fins which flare out on both sides, supported by arm-like stalks. The polka-dot batfish looks similar to the short-nose batfish (''Ogcocephalus nasutus''), although the pectoral fins of the polka-dot batfish are speckled with small spots whereas those of the short-nose are plain. The colouring of the polka-dot batfish is variable; it is usually brown with darker spots, some rimmed with ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
