Bathylagidae
The deep-sea smelts are any members of the family (biology), family Bathylagidae, a distinct group of marine smelts. Deep-sea smelts are marine fishes found in deep waters throughout the oceans, down to in depth. They are small fishes, growing up to long. They feed on plankton, especially krill. Extinction, Extinct genera known only from fossil remains include ''Quaesita'' from California, USA and ''Krumvirichthys'' from the Czech Republic. The oldest fossils are Otolith, otoliths from the Maastrichtian. References * Bathylagidae, Deep sea fish {{Argentiniformes-stub ...

Pseudobathylagus
''Pseudobathylagus milleri'', the Stout blacksmelt, also called the Owlfish due to its large eyes relative to its body, is a species of deep-sea smelt native to the north Pacific Ocean where it is found to depths of . This species grows to a length of . It is the only species in the genus ''Pseudobathylagus''. Description, taxonomy, and etymology ''Pseudobathylagus milleri'' is a deep-sea smelt that was originally characterized as ''Bathylagus milleri'' by D. S. Jordan and C. H. Gilbert in 1898 based on a specimen collected at Cortes Bank, from the surface. It was named after their linguist colleague at Stanford University, Walter Miller, for his contribution to zoological nomenclature. In 1939, W. M. Chapman described a new species ''Bathylagus alascanus'', named after the location they were collected from, Alaska. However, Chapman's specimens were later considered to be also ''B. milleri''. In 1986, N. V. Parin described anatomical differences compared to '' Bathylagus'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Marine Smelt
The Argentiniformes is an order of marine ray-finned fish whose distinctness was recognized only fairly recently. In former times, they were included in the Osmeriformes (typical smelt and allies) as suborder Argentinoidei. That term refers only to the suborder of marine smelts and barreleyes in the classification used here, with the slickheads and allies being the Alepocephaloidei. These suborders were treated as superfamilies Argentinoidea and Alepocephaloidea, respectively, when the present group was still included in the Osmeriformes. They contain six or seven families with almost 60 genera and at least 228 species. A common name for the group is marine smelts and allies, but this is rather misleading since the "freshwater" smelts of the Osmeridae also live predominantly in the ocean.FishBase (2006)Order Osmeriformes Version of 2006-OCT-09. Retrieved 2009-SEP-28. pp. 190–194 The earliest fossil argentiniform remains are otoliths of indeterminate argentinids from th ...
