Lizardfish
The Synodontidae or lizardfishes(or typical lizardfish to distinguish them from the Bathysauridae and Pseudotrichonotidae) are benthic (bottom-dwelling) marine and estuarine bony fishes that belong to the aulopiform fish order, a diverse group of marine ray-finned fish consisting of some 15 extant and several prehistoric families. They are found in tropical and subtropical marine waters throughout the world. Lizardfishes are generally small, although the largest species measures about in length. They have slender, somewhat cylindrical bodies, and heads that superficially resemble those of lizards. The dorsal fin is located in the middle of the back, and accompanied by a small adipose fin Fins are distinctive anatomical features composed of bony spines or rays protruding from the body of a fish. They are covered with skin and joined together either in a webbed fashion, as seen in most bony fish, or similar to a flipper, as se ... placed closer to the tail. They have mout ...

Synodus Saurus
The Atlantic lizardfish ''(Synodus saurus)'', is a species of lizardfish The Synodontidae or lizardfishes(or typical lizardfish to distinguish them from the Bathysauridae and Pseudotrichonotidae) are benthic (bottom-dwelling) marine and estuarine bony fishes that belong to the aulopiform fish order, a diverse group ... that primarily lives in the Eastern Atlantic. Information The Atlantic lizardfish is known to be found in a marine environment within a general demersal depth range of about 400 meters. They are more specifically found in a depth range of about 20 meters. This species is native to a subtropical climate. The maximum recorded length of the Atlantic lizardfish as an unsexed male is about 40 centimeters or about 15.74 inches.

Deepsea Lizardfish
The deepsea lizardfish, ''Bathysaurus ferox'', is an aulopiform of the family Bathysauridae, found in tropical and subtropical seas across the world. The deepsea lizardfish should not be confused with the true or "typical" lizardfishes of the related family Synodontidae. Taxonomy Deepsea lizardfishes were first described in 1878 by British zoologist Albert Günther, who created the generic name from ancient Greek word elements “''báthos''” and “''saûros''” meaning “lizard of the depths”. Previously recognized in the synodontidae, in 1996, Robert Karl Johnson et al. showed its relationships outside synodontidae, in its own family in the suborder Giganturoidei. At the beginning of the century, ''Bathysaurus ferox'' larvae were thought to be a distinct species called ''Macristium chavesi''. Johnson gave evidence of the synonymy of the two species. Appearance Deep-sea lizardfish resemble shallow-water lizardfishes, as reflected in their common names. Adults reach ov ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Synodus Synodus
The diamond lizardfish ''(Synodus synodus)'' is a species of lizardfish that lives in tropical and subtropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Information The diamond lizardfish has been found within marine environments within reef-associated areas. This species lives generally in the depth range of 2 – 35 m. The species is native to the subtropical climate. The maximum recorded length of the diamond lizardfish as an unsexed or male was about 33 cm (1.1 ft) long. The common length of this species is about 20 cm or 8 inches. It is commonly identified by the dark red stripes on its back. The diamond lizardfish is commonly found in shallow, inshore waters, and is known to prefer to stay on hard surfaces rather than sandy bottoms. It also can be found in reef areas and also goes into open shelf water as deep as 90 m. This species is edible and has been recorded to taste relatively good, but it is not commonly eaten. The diamond lizardfish is occasionally caught with artisanal gear u ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Aulopiformes
Aulopiformes is a diverse order of marine ray-finned fish consisting of some 15 extant and several prehistoric families with about 45 genera and over 230 species. The common names grinners, lizardfishes and allies, or aulopiforms are sometimes used for this group. The scientific name means "''Aulopus''-shaped", from ''Aulopus'' (the type genus) + the standard fish order suffix "-formes". It ultimately derives from Ancient Greek ''aulós'' (αὐλός, "flute" or "pipe") + Latin ''forma'' ("external form"), the former in reference to the elongated shape of many aulopiforms.FishBase (2000) They are grouped together because of common features in the structure of their gill arches. Indeed, many authors have considered them so distinct as to warrant separation in a monotypic superorder of the Teleostei, under the name Cyclosquamata. However, monotypic taxa are generally avoided by modern taxonomists if not necessary, and in this case a distinct superorder seems indeed unwar ...

Bathysauridae
The Bathysauridae are a small family of deepwater aulopiform fish, related to the telescopefishes. The two species in the family both belong to the genus ''Bathysaurus''. Commonly called deepwater lizardfishes or deepsea lizardfishes, the latter name usually refers to the species ''B. ferox'' specifically. Physically, the bathysaurids resemble the lizardfishes, as reflected in their common names. They can be distinguished from the lizardfishes by their flatter heads and curved and barbed teeth. They are moderately sized fish, up to in length. Bathysaurids inhabit the deep oceans, below depth. They are one of the world's deepest living apex predators, and will not hesitate to eat anything they meet, including their own kind. Their larvae were originally believed to represent a distinct genus (''Macristium'') and even family. The two Bathysaurid species, ''Bathysaurus mollis'' and ''Bathysaurus ferox'' are hermaphrodite In reproductive biology, a hermaphrodite () is an ...

USS ''Lizardfish'' (SS-373), a ''Balao''-class submarine, was a boat of the United States Navy named for the lizardfish, a slender marine fish having a scaly, lizard-like head and large mouth. Construction and commissioning ''Lizardfish'' was laid down on 14 March 1944 by the Manitowoc Shipbuilding Company at Manitowoc, Wisconsin; launched on 16 July 1944, sponsored by Mrs. Lansdale G. Sasscer; wife of Congressman Sasscer of Maryland; and commissioned on 30 December 1944. Operational history World War II ''Lizardfish'' departed the Manitowoc River 20 January 1945 for Lockport, IL, where she was loaded on a floating drydock and towed down the Mississippi River. She arrived at Algiers, La., 1 February and put to sea 5 days later for the Panama Canal and Pearl Harbor, arriving 23 March. ''Lizardfish'' left Pearl Harbor on her first war patrol 9 April 1945.
