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 ...

Marion Griswold Grey
Marion Griswold Grey (1911 – 1964) was an American ichthyologist. The daughter of James and Lucy Griswold, she was born Marion Griswold in Los Angeles and moved to Kenosha, Wisconsin with her family when she was nine. She studied zoology at Wellesley College but left after two years of study. In 1933, she married Arthur L. Grey and moved to Chicago; the couple had three children, including linguist Sarah Thomason. After she brought a pipefish to the Field Museum of Natural History for identification, she was encouraged by Alfred Weed to volunteer at the museum. She gained additional knowledge from informal training while at the museum. From 1943 to 1946, she was put in charge of the Fish Division at the museum on an unpaid basis while curator Loren P. Woods served in the Navy during World War II. She continued to be an associate in the Division of Fishes at the museum until her death in 1964. In 1948, she was a member of the museum's expedition to Bermuda. She learned Russi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ray-finned Fish
Actinopterygii (; ), members of which are known as ray-finned fishes, is a class of bony fish. They comprise over 50% of living vertebrate species. The ray-finned fishes are so called because their fins are webs of skin supported by bony or horny spines (rays), as opposed to the fleshy, lobed fins that characterize the class Sarcopterygii (lobe-finned fish). These actinopterygian fin rays attach directly to the proximal or basal skeletal elements, the radials, which represent the link or connection between these fins and the internal skeleton (e.g., pelvic and pectoral girdles). By species count, actinopterygians dominate the vertebrates, and they constitute nearly 99% of the over 30,000 species of fish. They are ubiquitous throughout freshwater and marine environments from the deep sea to the highest mountain streams. Extant species can range in size from ''Paedocypris'', at , to the massive ocean sunfish, at , and the long-bodied oarfish, at . The vast majority of Actinoptery ...
