List Of Prehistoric Bony Fish
This list of prehistoric bony fish is an attempt to create a comprehensive listing of all Genus, genera from the fossil record that have ever been considered to be bony fish (class Osteichthyes), excluding purely vernacular terms. The list includes all commonly accepted genera, but also genera that are now considered invalid, doubtful (''nomen dubium, nomina dubia''), or were not formally published (''nomen nudum, nomina nuda''), as well as synonym (zoology), junior synonyms of more established names, and genera that are no longer considered members of osteichthyes. This list includes 1,387 generic names. *extinction, Extinct genera are marked with a dagger (†). *Extant taxon, Extant genera are bolded. Naming conventions and terminology Naming conventions and terminology follow the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Technical terms used include: * Synonym (zoology), Junior synonym: A name which describes the same taxon as a previously published name. If two or more ...

Aipichthys Velifer 01
''Aipichthys'' is an extinct genus of bony fish that is possibly polyphyletic. Formerly classified in the Polymixiiformes, it is now thought to be a distant relative of oarfish and opahs. Species Five species have traditionally placed within ''Aipichthys'', but a redescription of the type species in 2016 suggested the genus to be polyphyletic, with only the type species as a member of the genus. The other four species were not moved out of the genus by the authors and were referred as ''`Aipichthys`''. *''Aipichthys pretiosus'' Steindachner, 1860 ( Komen Limestone, Volčji Grad, Komen, Slovenia) (type species) *''Aipichthys minor'' (Pictet, 1850) (Hakel and Hjoula Hjoula () is a municipality in the Byblos District of Keserwan-Jbeil Governorate, Lebanon.

Acestrus
''Acestrus'' is an extinct genus of marine ray-finned fish that lived during the lower Eocene in Europe. It contains one species, ''A. ornatus'' from the London Clay, known from a single braincase. It is thought to possibly be closely allied with billfish based on the braincase morphology, although it remains uncertain whether it had the rostrum characteristic of billfishes. Some authorities have suggested blochiid affinities. The former species "''A. elongatus''" Casier, 1966 is now thought to be remains assigned to '' Duplexdens''.

Acentrophorus
''Acentrophorus'' is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater and marine ray-finned fish from the Roadian (Guadalupian/Middle Permian) to the Wuchiapingian (Lopingian/late Permian) of England (Marl Slate), Germany (Kupferschiefer), Italy (Val Gardena) and Russia (Baitugan Formation). There may also be a Triassic occurrence in Australia. Classification The type species, ''Acentrophorus glaphyrus'', was first described under the genus name "''Palaeoniscum, Palaeoniscus''" (=''Palaeoniscum'') by Louis Agassiz. Ramsay H. Traquair later erected a new genus for this species, ''Acentrophorus'', to which he also referred the species "''Palaeoniscus''" ''abbsii'', "''P.''" ''altus'' and "''P.''" ''varians''. Some studies suggest that ''Archaeolepidotus'', another very early holostean, may be a junior synonym of this genus. ''Acentrophorus'' is considered to be the oldest known neopterygian, the group of ray-finned fish that encompasses the vast majority of neontology, extant species. It ...

Acanthurus
''Acanthurus'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Acanthuridae, which includes the surgeonfishes, unicornfishes and tangs, found in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Ocean. They are found in tropical oceans, especially near coral reefs, with most species in the Indo-Pacific but a few are found in the Atlantic Ocean. As other members of the family, they have a pair of spines, one on either side of the base of the tail which are dangerously sharp. Taxonomy ''Acanthurus'' was first proposed as a subgenus of ''Chaetodon'' in 1775 by the Swedish-speaking Finnish explorer, orientalist and naturalist Peter Forsskål, although he recognised that it was probably different from ''Chaetodon'' even at the family level. In 1856 Desmarest designated ''Teuthis hepatus'', which had been described from a type now known to have been collected at Ambon Island in the Moluccas (other erroneous type localities were named) in 1758 by Linnaeus, as the type species of the ...
