Centrarchidae
Centrarchidae, better known as sunfishes or centrarchids, is a family of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the order Centrarchiformes, native only to North America. There are eight universally included genera within the centrarchid family: '' Lepomis'' (true sunfishes), '' Micropterus'' (black basses), ''Pomoxis'' ( crappies), '' Enneacanthus'' (banded sunfishes), ''Centrarchus'' ( type genus, consisting solely of the flier ''C. macropterus''), ''Archoplites'' ( Sacramento perch), '' Ambloplites'' (rock basses), and ''Acantharchus'' ( mud sunfish). Their closest relatives are the pygmy sunfishes of the family Elassomatidae, which are sometimes placed in the same family, although presently treated as distinct. The centrarchid family comprises 38 identified species, 34 of which are extant. It includes many popular game fishes familiar to North American anglers, such as the rock bass, largemouth bass, bluegill, pumpkinseed, green sunfish and crappies. Most sunfish a ...

Lepomis
''Lepomis'' or true sunfish is a genus of North American freshwater fish from the family (biology), family Centrarchidae in the order (biology), order Centrarchiformes. The generic name (biology), generic name ''Lepomis'' derives from the Greek language, Greek ("scale") and ("cover", "plug", "operculum (gastropod), operculum"). The genus' most recognizable species is perhaps the bluegill. Some ''Lepomis'' species can grow to a maximum overall length of , though most average around . Many species are sought by angling, anglers as popular panfishes, and large numbers are bred and fish stocking, stocked in lakes, rivers, ponds and wetlands. They are widely distributed throughout the freshwater lakes and river tributaries of the United States and Canada, and several species have been Introduced species, translocated and flourished around the world, even becoming invasive species, pests. Aquarium trade in some ''Lepomis'' species is prohibited in Germany for this reason. ''Lepomis' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Molidae
The Molidae comprise the family of the molas or ocean sunfishes, unusual fish whose bodies come to an end just behind the dorsal fin, dorsal and anal fins, giving them a "half-fish" appearance. They are also the largest of the ray-finned bony fish, with the southern sunfish, ''Mola alexandrini'', recorded at in length and in weight. The family name comes from the ocean sunfish's scientific name ''Mola mola'', both its genus name and epithet come from the Latin word ''mola'' for "millstone" because of its circular shape. Description Molidae have the fewest vertebrae of any fish, with only 16 in ''Mola mola''. The axial musculature, Caudal (anatomical term), caudal and pelvic fins are completely lost during development, and most of their skeleton is made of cartilage. They also lack gas bladder, swim bladders. No bony plates occur in the skin, which is, however, thick and dense like cartilage and is fairly rough. Under the skin there is a stiff and gelatinous layer consisting ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mola (fish)
A sunfish, also called a mola, is any fish in the genus ''Mola'' (family Molidae). The fish develop their truncated, bullet-like shape because the back fin, which is present at birth, never grows. Instead, it folds into itself as the creature matures, creating a rounded rudder called a clavus. ''Mola'' in Latin means "millstone" and describes the ocean sunfish's somewhat circular shape. They are a silvery color and have a rough skin texture. The mola is the heaviest of all the bony fish, with large specimens reaching vertically and horizontally, and weighing over . Sharks and rays can be heavier, but they are cartilaginous fish. Mola are found in temperate and tropical oceans around the world. They are frequently seen basking in the sun near the surface and are often mistaken for sharks when their huge dorsal fins emerge above the water. Their teeth are fused into a beak-like structure, and they are unable to fully close their relatively small mouths. Ocean sunfish can be ...

Ocean Sunfish
The ocean sunfish (''Mola mola''), also known as the common mola, is one of the largest bony fish in the world. It is the type species of the genus ''Mola'', and one of five extant species in the family Molidae. It was once misidentified as the heaviest bony fish, which was actually a different and closely related species of sunfish, ''Mola alexandrini''. Adults typically weigh between . It is native to tropical fish, tropical and temperate waters around the world. It resembles a fish head without a tail, and its main body is flattened laterally. Sunfish can be as tall as they are long when their Dorsal fin, dorsal and ventral Pelvic fins, fins are extended. Many areas of sunfish biology remain poorly understood, and various research efforts are underway, including aerial surveys of populations, satellite surveillance using pop-off satellite tags, genetic analysis of tissue samples, and collection of amateur sighting data. Adult sunfish are Vulnerability, vulnerable to few nat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Basking Shark
The basking shark (''Cetorhinus maximus'') is the second-largest living shark and fish, after the whale shark. It is one of three Planktivore, plankton-eating shark species, along with the whale shark and megamouth shark. Typically, basking sharks reach in length, but large individuals have been known to grow more than long. It is usually greyish-brown, with mottled skin, with the inside of the mouth being white in colour. The caudal fin has a strong lateral keel and a crescent shape. Other common names include bone shark, elephant shark, sailfish, and sunfish. The basking shark is a Cosmopolitan distribution, cosmopolitan Fish migration, migratory species found in all the world's temperate oceans. A slow-moving filter feeder, its common name derives from its habit of feeding at the surface, appearing to be basking in the warmer water there. It has anatomical adaptations for filter-feeding, such as a greatly enlarged mouth and highly developed gill rakers. Its snout is conica ...

Opah
The opah, also commonly known as moonfish, sunfish (not to be confused with Molidae), cowfish, kingfish, and redfin ocean pan are large, colorful, deep-bodied Pelagic zone, pelagic lampriform Fish, fishes comprising the genus ''Lampris'', of the small Family (biology), family Lampridae (also spelled Lamprididae). Species Two living species were traditionally recognized, but a Taxonomy (biology), taxonomic review in 2018 suggests the idea of splitting ''L. guttatus'' into several species, each with a more restricted geographic range, bringing the total to six. The six species of ''Lampris'' have mostly non-overlapping geographical ranges, and can be recognized based on body shape and coloration pattern. *Southern Spotted Opah (''Lampris australensis):'' Found in the southern hemisphere, primarily in the Pacific Ocean, Pacific and Indian Ocean, Indian oceans. *North Atlantic Opah (''Lampris guttatus):'' Potentially located in the Northeastern Atlantic, including the Medit ...

Sunfish Pond
Sunfish Pond is a glacial lake surrounded by a hardwood forest located on the Kittatinny Ridge within Worthington State Forest, adjacent to the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area in Warren County, New Jersey. The Appalachian Trail runs alongside the western and northern edges of the lake. It was created by the Wisconsin Glacier during the last ice age. The lake was declared a National Natural Landmark in January 1970. History The land was purchased by Charles C. Worthington who used the forest as a deer hunting preserve; the lake supplied water to his mansion. In 1965, there was a plan to create a reservoir which would have covered the lake. Casey Kays, a local custodian, led 655 people on a hike to protest the plan. Further hikes and letter campaigns caused the power companies that owned the land to donate it to the state in 1966. Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas mentioned the lake in his dissenting opinion in the '' Sierra Club v. Morton'' case. O ...
