''Argyripnus'' is an oceanic ray-finned fish genus in the marine hatchetfish family Sternoptychidae. They are commonly known as bristle-mouth fishes, but that may also refer to the related bristlemouth family (Gonostomatidae). ''A. iridescens'' is called "pearlside", which usually refers to the closely related genus ''Maurolicus''. Species There are currently seven recognized species in this genus: * ''Argyripnus atlanticus'' Maul, 1952 * ''Argyripnus brocki'' Struhsaker, 1973 (Brock's Bristle-mouth Fish) * ''Argyripnus electronus'' Parin, 1992 * ''Argyripnus ephippiatus'' C.

Pearlside
''Maurolicus'' is an oceanic ray-finned fish genus which belongs in the marine hatchetfish family Sternoptychidae. They are commonly known as pearlsides, but the brilliant pearlside is the related ''Argyripnus iridescens''. Occasionally, "bristle-mouth fishes" is used as a common name, but that usually refers to the genus ''Argyripnus'' or the family Gonostomatidae. Fossils of pearlsides are known from the Miocene. Species There are currently 15 recognized species in this genus: * '' Maurolicus amethystinopunctatus'' Cocco, 1838 * ''Maurolicus australis'' Hector, 1875 (pennant pearlside) * ''Maurolicus breviculus'' Parin & Kobyliansky, 1993 * ''Maurolicus imperatorius'' Parin & Kobyliansky, 1993 (Emperor seamount lightfish) * ''Maurolicus inventionis'' Parin & Kobyliansky, 1993 * ''Maurolicus japonicus'' Ishikawa, 1915 (North Pacific lightfish) * ''Maurolicus javanicus'' Parin & Kobyliansky, 1993 (Javan pearlside) * ''Maurolicus kornilovorum'' Parin & Kobyliansky, ...

Sternoptychidae
The marine hatchetfishes or deep-sea hatchetfishes as well as the related bottlelights, pearlsides and constellationfishes are small deep-sea ray-finned fish of the stomiiform family Sternoptychidae. They are not closely related to and should not be confused with the freshwater hatchetfishes, which are teleosts in the characiform family Gasteropelecidae. The Sternoptychidae have 10 genera and about 70 species altogether.Nelson (2006): p.209 The scientific name means "''Sternoptyx''-family", from ''Sternoptyx'' (the type genus) + the standard animal family suffix "-idae". The type genus derives from Ancient Greek ''stérnon'' (στέρνον, "breast") + ''ptýx'' (πτύξ, "a fold/crease") + Latin ''forma'' ("external form"), the Greek part in reference to the thorax shape of marine hatchetfishes. Description and ecology Found most often at depths of 200–600 meters in tropical, subtropical and temperate waters of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans, marine hatchetfishes ra ...

Günther Maul
Günther Edmund Maul (May 7, 1909 – September 28, 1997) was a German ichthyologist and taxidermist in Portugal. Maul came to Madeira in December 1930 to work as taxidermist at Museu Municipal do Funchal, which opened to the public in 1933. He was appointed director for the museum in 1940, a post that he held to his retirement in 1979. He, however, continued his research until shortly before his death. He started two journals (''Boletim do Museu Municipal do Funchal'' in 1945 and ''Bocagiana'' in 1959) and opened the museum's aquarium to the public in 1959. He also participated in several expeditions including with the French bathyscaphe ''Archimède'' in 1966 and organised the first multidisciplinary expedition to the Salvage Islands in 1963. He was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Madeira in 1995. Works He described several species of fish *'' Himantolophus albinares'' *'' Coryphaenoides thelestomus'' *'' Macruronus maderensis'' *''Rouleina maderensis'' *' ...

Gonostomatidae
The Gonostomatidae are a family of mesopelagic marine fish, commonly named bristlemouths, lightfishes, or anglemouths. It is a relatively small family, containing only eight known genera and 32 species. However, bristlemouths make up for their lack of diversity with relative abundance, numbering in the hundreds of trillions to quadrillions. The genera ''Cyclothone'' (with 13 species) is thought to be one of the most abundant vertebrate genera in the world. The fossil record of this family dates back to the Miocene epoch. Living bristlemouths were discovered by William Beebe in the early 1930s and described by L. S. Berg in 1958. The fish are mostly found in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans, although the species ''Cyclothone microdon'' may be found in Arctic waters. They have elongated bodies from in length. They have a number of green or red light-producing photophores aligned along the undersides of their heads or bodies. Their chief common name, bristlemouth, comes ...
