Triacanthodinae
Triacanthodinae is a subfamily of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Triacanthodidae, the spikefishes. This subfamily comprises nine genera and a total of nineteen species and all, except one species, are found in the tropical and subtropical waters of the Indo-Pacific. The exception is found in the western Atlantic Ocean. Taxonomy Triacanthodinae is the nominate subfamily of the family Triacanthodidae, a taxon name first proposed by the American biologist Theodore Gill in 1862. In 1968 the American ichthyologist James C. Tyler proposed that the family Triacanthodidae be split into two subfamilies, establishing the subfamily Hollardiinae for the genera '' Hollardia'' and '' Parahollardia''. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies the family Triacanthodidae in the suborder Triacanthoidei along with the family Triacanthidae, the triplefins. Etymology Triacanthodinae is a name based on its type genus ''Triacanthodes''. which appends ''-odes'', meaning ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Halimochirurgus
''Halimochirurgus'' is a genus of Marine life, marine Actinopterygii, ray-finned fishes belonging to the Family (biology), family Spikefish, Triacanthodidae, the spikefishes. The fishes in this genus are found in the deep waters of the Indian Ocean, Indian and Pacific Oceans. Taxonomy ''Halimochirurgus'' was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1899 by the British physician, naturalist, and carcinologist Alfred William Alcock with ''Halimochirurgus centriscoides'' designated as its type species, and its only species. ''H. centriscoides'' was also described by Alcock in 1899 and its Type locality (biology), type locality given as the Gulf of Mannar to the west of Sri Lanka at 7°15'N, 77°46'E from a depth of . In 1913 Max Carl Wilhelm Weber described a second species in the genus, ''H. alcocki'', giving its type locality as the Arafura Sea at 5°48.2'S, 132°13'W. In 1968, James C. Tyler classified this genus in the Nominate (taxonomy), nominate subfamily of the family Triac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bathyphylax Pruvosti
''Bathyphylax'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Triacanthodidae, the spikefishes. The fishes in this genus are found in the deep waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Taxonomy ''Bathyphylax'' was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1935 by the American ichthyologist George S. Myers when he described ''Bathyphylax bombifrons'', which he also designated as its type species. When Myers described ''B. bombifrons'' he gave its type locality given as the "China Sea" off Hong Kong. In 1968 the American ichthyologist James C. Tyler classified this genus in the nominate subfamily of the family Triacanthodidae, the Triacanthodinae. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies the family Triacanthodidae in the suborder Triacanthoidei in the order Tetraodontiformes. Etymology ''Bathyphylax'' is a compound of ''bathy'', meaning "deep", and ''phylax'', which means "guard", an allusion which Myers did not explain but it may refer to the de ...

Atrophacanthus Japonicus
''Atrophacanthus'' is a monospecific genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Triacanthodidae, the spikefishes. The only species in the genus is ''Atrophacanthus japonicus'', the upward-mouth spikefish, which is found in the Indo-West Pacific region. Taxonomy ''Atrophacanthus'' was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1950 by the British ichthyologist Alec Fraser-Brunner when he described ''Atrophacanthus danae'', its type species by monotypy. Fraser-Brenner's ''A. danae'' had its type locality given as the Sulawesi Sea. ''A. danae'' was subsequently shown to be a synonym of ''Tydemania japonica'' which had been described in 1941 by the Japanese ichthyologist Toshiji Kamohara with its type locality given as Shikoku in the Kōchi Prefecture, Japan. This taxon is classified within the subfamily Triacanthodinae of the spikefish family Triacanthodidae, within the suborder Triacanthoidei of the order Tetraodontiformes in the 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World ...

Spikefish
The spikefishes (family Triacanthodidae) are ray-finned fishes related to the pufferfishes and triggerfishes. They live in deep waters; more than 50 meters (165 feet), but above the continental shelves. They are found in the Atlantic, Indian Ocean, and the west-central Pacific. The spikefishes are quite variable in form, with some species having tubular snouts (greatly elongated in ''Halimochirurgus'' and ''Macrorhamphosodes''), and others have spoon-like teeth for scraping the scales off other fishes. Depending on the exact species involved, they reach a maximum length of about . While spikefish are shaped in a wide variety of different colors, sizes, and shapes, they can characterized by their similarities of having a dense body with relatively thick skin, a large amount of tiny yet spiky scales, two dorsal fins of which the first contains six spines and twelve to eighteen soft spines along the second, a rounded caudal fin, small and terminal mouth with at least 10 average size ...

Hollardiinae
Hollardiinae is a subfamily of Marine life, marine Actinopterygii, ray-finned fishes belonging to the Family (biology), family Spikefish, Triacanthodidae, the spikefishes. This small subfamily comprises two genera and a total of five species and all, except one species, are found in the tropical and subtropical waters of the Western Atlantic Ocean. The exception is found in the western and central Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy Hollardiinae was first proposed as a subfamily of the family Triacanthodidae in 1968 by the American ichthyologist James C. Tyler. It is none of two subfmilies withion the family, the other being the Nominate (taxonomy), nominate, Triacanthodinae. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies the family Triacanthodidae in the suborder Triacanthoidei along with the family Triacanthidae, the triplefins. Etymology Hollardiinae takes its name from its type genus, ''Hollardia'', which was named in honour of the French physician and naturalist Henri Hollard, a ...

Triacanthidae
Triacanthidae, the triplespines or tripodfishes, is a family of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the order Tetraodontiformes, which also includes the pufferfishes, boxfishes, filefishes and related groups. The family is made up of four extant genera and three extinct genera which are known from fossils. Taxonomy Triacanthidae was first proposed as a family in 1859 by the Dutch physician, herpetologist and ichthyologist Pieter Bleeker, and, in 1968, James C. Tyler classified it within the suborder Triacanthoidei alongside the Triacanthodidae. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies this as suborder of the order Tetraodontiformes. Genera Triacanthidae contains the following extant genera: Characteristics Triacanthidae triplespines's, like their relatives the triggerfishes and the filefishes first ray of the dorsal fin is formed to a spine. Further, they have two spines in place of their ventral fins. They have sharp and heavy teeth, which they use to eat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Triacanthoidei
Triacanthoidei is a suborder of ray-finned fishes belonging to the order Tetraodontiformes, which includes the pufferfishes, triggerfishes and related taxa. These benthic fishes are mainly found in the Indian Ocean with some of the spikefishes found in the Western Atlantic Ocean. Taxonomy Triacanthoidei was first proposed as a superfamily, the Triacanthoidea, in 1968 by the American ichthyologist James C. Tyler who placed it in the monotypic suborder Triacanthoidei. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' does not use the superfamily classification for this taxon, listing only the suborder and its constituent families within the order Tetraodontiformes. Etymology Triacanthoidei has its base in the name of the genus '' Triacanthus'' which prefixes ''acanthus'', meaning "thorn" or "spine" with ''tri'' , which means "three". This is a reference too the large first spine of the dorsal fin and the two large spines in the pelvic fin. The element ''oid'' is a contraction of ''oides'' ...
