Centrarchiform
Centrarchiformes is an order of ray-finned fish, previously included amongst the perciformes. Froese, R. and D. Pauly. Editors. (2023). FishBase. Centrarchiformes. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: https://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=1517557 on 2023-11-12 The order Centrarchiformes is not recognized in the 5th Edition (2016) of ''Fishes of the World'', but is accepted on the World Register of Marine Species in November 2023, Fishbase, and ''Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes''. Many centrarchiforms look essentially perch-like, featuring a stocky build and a spine-bearing dorsal fin, and range in size from in length (for '' Elassoma gilberti),'' to for the '' Maccullochella peelii.'' The earliest fossils of this group are of '' Percichthys'' from the Early Paleocene of Bolivia, although this status is tentative. If these remains are not of a percichthyid, then the earliest known centrarchiform fossils are of oplegnathids from the Early Eoc ...

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 ...

Percalates
''Percalates'' (from '' Perca'' + ''Lates'') is a genus of ray-finned fish native to both estuarine and freshwater habitats of southeastern Australia. They are the only members of the suborder Percalatoidei, and of their own undescribed family ('Percalatidae'). Description It contains two species, both of which were previously placed in the temperate perch genus ''Macquaria''. However, more recent phylogenetic studies have found these two species to be the most basal members of the order Centrarchiformes, and thus more distantly related to the temperate perches than previously thought. The following species are known: * '' Percalates colonorum'' ( Günther, 1863) - estuary perch * ''Percalates novemaculeatus'' ( Steindachner, 1866) - Australian bass Well-preserved fossil specimens of the species †'' Percalates antiquus'' Hills, 1934 (=''Macquaria antiquua'') have been recovered from the Early Eocene-aged Redbank Plains Formation of Queensland, Australia.

Terapontidae
Grunters or tigerperches are ray-finned fishes in the family Terapontidae (also spelled Teraponidae, Theraponidae or Therapontidae). This family is part of the superfamily Percoidea of the order Perciformes. Characteristics The Terapontidae is a large family of small to medium-sized perciform fishes which occur in marine, brackish and fresh waters in the Indo-Pacific region. They are characterised by a single long-based dorsal fin which has a notch marking the boundary between the spiny and soft-rayed portions. They have small to moderate-sized scales, a continuous lateral line reaching the caudal fin, and most species lack teeth on the roof of the mouth. The marine species are found in inshore sea and brackish waters, some species are able to enter extremely saline and fresh waters. In Australia and New Guinea there are a number of species restricted to fresh water. Classification The following genera are classified within the family Terpontidae: * '' Amniataba'' Whitley ...

Oplegnathidae
''Oplegnathus'' is currently the sole recognized genus in the knifejaw family (Oplegnathidae) of marine centrarchiform ray-finned fishes. The largest, the Cape knifejaw, can reach a maximum length around 90 cm (35 in). Knifejaws have teeth fused into a parrot-like beak in adulthood. They feed on barnacles and mollusks, and are commercial fishing, fished commercially. They are native to the Indian Ocean, Indian and Pacific Oceans. The earliest records of knifejaws are fossilized beaks, with attached teeth, known from middle Eocene-aged sediments of the La Meseta Formation of Antarctica. Their early occurrence in Antarctica supports it having temperate climate during the Eocene, and that knifejaws had a wider distribution in the past than today. Species The currently recognized species in this genus are: * ''Oplegnathus conwayi'' John Richardson (naturalist), J. Richardson, 1840, 1840 (Cape knifejaw) * ''Oplegnathus fasciatus'' (Coenraad Jacob Temminck, Temminck & Her ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Centrarchus Macropterus
The flier (''Centrarchus macropterus'') is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish, a sunfish from the family Centrarchidae which is endemic to the southern United States of America. It is the only species in the monospecific genus ''Centrarchus''. A Second World War United States Navy submarine was named the USS ''Flier'' after this fish. Description The flier is a small, strongly compressed species of sunfish which has a moderately sized, oblique mouth. The dorsal fin has 11–13 spines and 12–14 soft rays while the anal fin has 7–8 spines and 13–15 soft rays. It has a lateral line and the scales are ctenoid. The flanks have a scattering of dark spots, the underside is pale, and the upperparts are olive in color. There is a vertical dark line through the eye which continues below the eye in what has been described as a "teardrop". Fish of a standard length less than around have an obvious dark eyespot, or ocellus, which has a reddish margin on the soft part of the dor ...

Actinopterygii
Actinopterygii (; ), members of which are known as ray-finned fish or actinopterygians, is a class (biology), class of Osteichthyes, bony fish that comprise over 50% of living vertebrate species. They are so called because of their lightly built fish fin, fins made of webbings of skin supported by radially extended thin bony spine (zoology), spines called ''lepidotrichia'', as opposed to the bulkier, fleshy lobed fins of the sister taxon, sister clade Sarcopterygii (lobe-finned fish). Resembling folding fans, the actinopterygian fins can easily change shape and wetted area, providing superior thrust-to-weight ratios per movement compared to sarcopterygian and chondrichthyian fins. The fin rays attach directly to the proximal or basal skeletal elements, the radials, which represent the articulation (anatomy), articulation between these fins and the internal skeleton (e.g., pelvic and pectoral girdles). The vast majority of actinopterygians are teleosts. By species count, they domi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gulf Coast Pygmy Sunfish
The Gulf Coast pygmy sunfish, ''Elassoma gilberti'', is a species of pygmy sunfish endemic to Florida, United States. This species can reach in standard length. Etymology The fish is named in honor of Carter R. Gilbert (1930–2022), who was the Curator of Fishes at the Florida Museum of Natural History from 1961 to 1998, because of his many contributions to the study of North American fishes. ''Elasoma gilberti'' is closely related to ''E. okefenokee'', and the two species are nearly indistinguishable in appearance. ''E. gilberti'' in general has four preopercular canal pores, while ''E. okefenokee'' on average has three. The average number of anal fin rays is seven in ''E. gilberti'' and eight in ''E. okefenokee''. The female ''E. gilberti'' often expresses a blue patch of color behind her eye, while the ''E. okefenokee'' does not. Range and ecology This species occurs in northwestern Florida and southwestern Georgia in the lower Suwannee River drainage and other Gulf of ...
