Hapalogenys
''Hapalogenys'', the barbeled grunters or velveltchins, is a genus of marine ray-finned fish, it is the only genus in the monotypic family Hapalogenyidae, also spelled Hapalogeniidae. The species of this genus are found in depths between in coastal areas and river mouths from the shores of southern Japan to the Bay of Bengal and Northwestern Australia. Etymology ''Hapalogenys'' is a compound of ''hapalos'' meaning "soft" and ''genys'' meaning "chin", Richardson stating that this referred to “velvety softness of the chin and lower lip, which is made more conspicuous by contrast with the rigidly rough scales that cover the rest of the head”. Characteristics ''Hapalogenys species have compressed bodies. They have 10 pores on and to the rear of the chin, these include a pair of tiny pores near the symphysis, The lower jaw and chin have dense clusters of short barbels. They have small teeth which are arranged in bands on the jaws, vomer, and palatines. They have 7 branchiosteg ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Caudal 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 seen in sharks. Apart from the tail or caudal fin, fish fins have no direct connection with the spine and are supported only by muscles. Their principal function is to help the fish swim. Fins located in different places on the fish serve different purposes such as moving forward, turning, keeping an upright position or stopping. Most fish use fins when swimming, flying fish use pectoral fins for gliding, and frogfish use them for crawling. Fins can also be used for other purposes; male sharks and mosquitofish use a modified fin to deliver sperm, thresher sharks use their caudal fin to stun prey, reef stonefish have spines in their dorsal fins that inject venom, anglerfish use the first spine of their dorsal fin like a fishing rod to ...
