Aracanidae
Aracanidae, the deep sea boxfishes or temperate boxfishes, are a family of marine ray-finned fishes belonong to the order Tetraodontiformes, which also includes the pufferfishes, triggerfishes and ocean sunfishes. The fishes in this family are found in the Indo-West Pacific region, particularly in the waters around Australia. Taxonomy ''Aracanidae'' was first proposed as a family in 1860 by the Swiss-born French biologist Henri Louis Gabriel Marc Hollard. In the past this taxon was regarded as a subfamily of the Ostraciidae. However, recent phylogenetic studies have concluded that the families Aracanidae and Ostraciidae are valid families but that they are part of the same clade, the suborder Ostracioidei. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies this clade as the suborder Ostracioidea within the order Tetraodontiformes. Genera Aracanidae contains the following six extant and single extinct genera: means extinct. Etymology Aracanidae takes its name from its ty ...

Kentrocapros Spilonota
''Kentrocapros'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Aracanidae, the deepwater boxfishes or temperate boxfishes. These fishes are found in the coastal waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Taxonomy ''Kentrocarpos'' was first proposed as a monospecific subgenus In biology, a subgenus ( subgenera) is a taxonomic rank directly below genus. In the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, a subgeneric name can be used independently or included in a species name, in parentheses, placed between the ge ... of ''Aracana'' in 1855 by the German naturalist Johann Jakob Kaup with ''Ostracion hexagonus'' as its only species. ''O. hexagonus'' was originally Species description, described in 1787 by Carl Peter Thunberg with its Type locality (biology), type locality given as Japan. This was later found to be a Synonym (taxonomy), synonym of ''O. cubicus aculeatus'', described by Martinus Houttuyn in 1782 from Nagasaki. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of t ...

Ostracioidei
Ostracioidea or Ostracioidei, the boxfishes, is a suborder of Actinopterygii, ray-finned fishes belonging to the Order (biology), order Tetraodontiformes, which also includes the pufferfishes, filefishes and triggerfishes. The fishes in this taxon are found in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans. Taxonomy Ostracioidea was named in 1810 by the French polymath Constantine Samuel Rafinesque, and has been regarded as a family with the two extant families being regarded as subfamilies. However, recent Phylogenetics, phylogenetic studies have concluded that the families Aracanidae and Ostraciidae are valid families but that they are part of the same clade. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies this clade as the suborder Ostracioidea within the order Tetraodontiformes. Etymology Ostracioidea takes its name from the type genus, ''Ostracion'', of the family Ostraciidae. This name was proposed by Carl Linnaeus, Linnaeus in 1758 and means "little box" an allusion to the b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tetraodontiformes
Tetraodontiformes (), also known as the Plectognathi, is an order of ray-finned fishes which includes the pufferfishes and related taxa. This order has been classified as a suborder of the order Perciformes, although recent studies have found that it, as the Tetraodontoidei, is a sister taxon to the anglerfish order Lophiiformes, called Lophiodei, and have placed both taxa within the Acanthuriformes. The Tetraodontiformes are represented by 10 extant families and at around 430 species overall. The majority of the species within this order are marine but a few may be found in freshwater. They are found throughout the world. Taxonomy Tetraodontiformes is a name first used for this order in 1940 by Lev Berg, the order was originally proposed in 1817 as the "''Les Plectognathes''", the Plectognathi. Cuvier divided this into two families ''"Les Gymnodontes"'' and ''"Les Sclerodermes"''. In 1940 Berg first used the term Tetraodontiformes for this order and this name is the curren ...

Anoplocapros Inermis
The Eastern smooth boxfish (''Anoplocapros inermis''), also known as the chubby basketfish, freckled boxfish, golden boxfish, polled boxfish, robust boxfish or white-barred boxfish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Aracanidae, the deepwater boxfishes or temperate boxfishes. This fish is endemic to the seas of southeastern Australia. Taxonomy The Eastern smooth boxfish was first formally described as ''Strophiurichthys inermis'' in 1935 by the British ichthyologist Alec Fraser-Brunner with its type locality given as Port Jackson in New South Wales. This species is now regarded as a member of the genus '' Anoplocapros'' which the 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies within the family Aracanidae within the suborder Ostracioidea in the order Tetraodontiformes. Etymology The Eastern smooth boxfish is in the genus ''Anoplocapros'', a name which compounds ''anoplos'', meaning "unarmed", with ''capros'', which means a "wild boar". The unarmed ...

Ostraciidae
Ostraciidae or Ostraciontidae is a family of squared, Actinopterygii, bony fish belonging to the order Tetraodontiformes, closely related to the pufferfishes and filefishes. Fish in the family are known variously as boxfishes, cofferfishes, cowfishes and trunkfishes. It contains about 23 extant species in 6 extant genera. Taxonomy Ostraciidae was first proposed as a family in 1810 by the French polymath Constantine Samuel Rafinesque. In the past this grouping was regarded as a subfamily, the Ostraciinae, along with the subfamily Aracaninae, of a wider Ostraciidae. However, recent Phylogenetics, phylogenetic studies have concluded that the families Aracanidae and Ostraciidae are valid families but that they are part of the same clade, the suborder Ostracioidei. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies this clade as the suborder Ostracioidea within the order Tetraodontiformes.

Triggerfish
Triggerfish are about 40 species of often brightly colored marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Balistidae. Often marked by lines and spots, they inhabit tropical and subtropical oceans throughout the world, with the greatest species richness in the Indo-Pacific. Most are found in relatively shallow, coastal habitats, especially at coral reefs, but a few, such as the oceanic triggerfish (''Canthidermis maculata''), are pelagic. While several species from this family are popular in the marine aquarium trade, they are often notoriously ill-tempered. Taxonomy The triggerfish family, Balistidae, was first proposed in 1810 by the French polymath Constantine Samuel Rafinesque. The closest relatives to the triggerfishes are the filefishes belonging to the family Monacanthidae and these two families are sometimes classified together in the suborder Balistoidei, for example in the 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World''. Other authorities, however, also include the famili ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Type Genus
In biological taxonomy, the type genus (''genus typica'') is the genus which defines a biological family and the root of the family name. Zoological nomenclature According to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, "The name-bearing type of a nominal family-group taxon is a nominal genus called the 'type genus'; the family-group name is based upon that of the type genus." Any family-group name must have a type genus (and any genus-group name must have a type species, but any species-group name may, but need not, have one or more type specimens). The type genus for a family-group name is also the genus that provided the stem to which was added the ending -idae (for families). :Example: The family name Formicidae has as its type genus the genus ''Formica'' Linnaeus, 1758. Botanical nomenclature In botanical nomenclature, the phrase "type genus" is used, unofficially, as a term of convenience. In the '' ICN'' this phrase has no status. The code uses type specimens ...

Standard Length
Fish measurement is the measuring of individual fish and various parts of fish anatomy, their anatomies, for data used in many areas of ichthyology, including Taxonomy (biology), taxonomy and fishery biology. Overall length Standard length (SL) is the length of a fish measured from the tip of the snout to the posterior end of the last vertebra or to the posterior end of the midlateral portion of the Glossary of ichthyology#H, hypural plate. This measurement excludes the length of the caudal fin, caudal (tail) fin. Total length (TL) is the length of a fish measured from the tip of the snout to the tip of the longer lobe of the caudal fin, usually measured with the lobes compressed along the midline. It is a straight-line measure, not measured over the curve of the body. Standard length measurements are used with Teleostei (most Actinopterygii, bony fish), while total length measurements are used with Myxini (hagfish), Petromyzontiformes (lampreys) and usually Elasmobranchii (shark ...
