Paralepididae
Barracudinas are any member of the marine mesopelagic fish family (biology), family Paralepididae: 50 or so extant species are found almost worldwide in deep waters. Several genera, including ''Holosteus'' and ''Drimys (fish), Drimys'', are known only from fossils dating back to the Ypresian epoch. The generic term, generic name ''Paralepis'' (for which the family is named) is from Greek language, Greek - ''para'' meaning "somewhat", ' meaning "scaled". Description Barracudinas are elongated, slender fish with large eyes, and a pointed snout containing fang-like teeth. This gives them some superficial resemblance to barracudas (family Sphyraenidae), although the two groups are not closely related. Barracudinas are actually related to lizardfish (order Aulopiformes; suborder Alepisauroidei) and are most closely aligned with lancetfish (family Alepisauridae), hammerjaws (family Omosudidae) and daggertooths (family Anotopteridae). Like their close relatives, barracudinas lack s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Anotopteridae
The daggertooths (genus ''Anotopterus'') are a genus of marine mesopelagic fish in the order Aulopiformes, the sole genus of the family Anotopteridae. They are found in oceans worldwide, but prefer cooler waters. Description Daggertooths are similar in appearance to the related lancetfishes and barracudina. They are elongate, silvery, predatory marine fishes that lack scales and have sharp teeth likely used for hunting fishes. However, as their scientific name (meaning "without fins on its back") suggests, they lack dorsal fins which easily differentiates them from their close allies, especially the similar-looking lancetfishes. Another feature that distinguishes daggertooths from lancetfishes is the placement of the large, fang-like teeth. In lancetfishes, the fangs appear on both the upper and lower jaws while in daggertooths the fangs are only seen along the upper jaw. Whether the fangs or the distinctly protruding mandible inspired the common name "daggertooth" remains unclear ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Aulopiformes
Aulopiformes is a diverse order (biology), order of Marine (ocean), marine ray-finned fish consisting of some 15 Extant taxon, extant and several prehistoric family (biology), families with about 45 genera and over 230 species. The common names grinners, lizardfishes and allies, or aulopiforms are sometimes used for this group. They are included in the superorder Cyclosquamata, though modern taxonomists consider this superorder to be unwarranted. Many Neontology, extant aulopiforms are deep-sea fishes, with some species recognized as being hermaphroditic, a number of which are able to Autogamy, self-fertilise. Some are benthic, but most are pelagic swimmers (nektonic). A clade of Aulopiformes, the suborder Enchodontoidei and its many constituent families, were dominant nektonic fish throughout much of the Late Cretaceous before the extinction of most of their members around the K–Pg event, with the Dercetidae surviving for some time in the Cenozoic.
