picture info	Alfonsino The alfonsino (''Beryx decadactylus''), also known as the alfonsin, longfinned beryx, red bream, or imperador, is a species of deepwater berycid fish of the order Beryciformes. It can be found in temperate and subtropical ocean waters nearly worldwide, though it is uncommon. It is typically associated with deep-sea corals, and schools are known to form over seamounts. Adults are demersal and search for prey along the ocean floor, primarily fish, cephalopods, and crustaceans. Like other members of its family, it is remarkably long-lived, with individuals reaching ages of up to 69 years, and possibly longer. It can reach sizes of up to in length and in weight and is targeted by commercial fisheries. Its low reproductive rate and the time it takes for juveniles to mature make it vulnerable to expanding deep-sea fisheries, but it is listed as Least Concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) due to its extensive range.

	Beryx ''Beryx'' is a genus of alfonsinos found in deep oceanic waters. Two of its member species, ''B. decadactylus'' and ''B. splendens'', are found across nearly the entire globe and are of some commercial importance. Species There are currently three recognized species in this genus: * ''Beryx decadactylus'' G. Cuvier, 1829 (Alfonsino) * ''Beryx mollis'' T. Abe, 1959 * ''Beryx splendens The splendid alfonsino (''Beryx splendens'') is an alfonsino of the genus ''Beryx'', found around the world at depths between , usually between . Although its most common size is , it can reach lengths of up to . It is known as'' kinmedai'' (金� ...'' R. T.

	Richard Thomas Lowe Richard Thomas Lowe (1802–1874) was an English scientist, a botanist, ichthyologist, malacologist, and a clergyman. In 1825 he graduated from Christ's College, Cambridge, and in the same year he took holy orders. In 1832 he became a clergyman in the Madeira Islands, where he was also a part-time naturalist, extensively studying the local flora and fauna. He wrote a book on the Madeiran flora. He died in 1874 when the ship he was on was wrecked off the Isles of Scilly. Taxa Lowe named and described numerous molluscan taxa, including: * ''Caseolus'', a land snail genus and eight species within it * ''Lemniscia'', a land snail genus and two species within it See also :Taxa named by Richard Thomas Lowe References Notes 1802 births 1874 deaths 19th-century English Anglican priests Alumni of Christ's College, Cambridge English botanists English ichthyologists English malacologists English zoologists {{England-scientist-stub ...

	Centroberyx ''Centroberyx'', often referred to as nannygais, is genus of ray-finned fishes found in the Indian Ocean and western Pacific Ocean, with the greatest species richness off southern Australia. They are reddish in colour and somewhat resemble the related soldierfish. Depending on species, they have a maximum length of . They are found at depths of . Members of this genus are also known from fossils from the Cretaceous.Fossils (Smithsonian Handbooks) by David Ward (Page 219) Species There are currently seven recognized extant species in this genus: * '' Centroberyx affinis'' ( Günther, 1859) (Redfish) * ''Centroberyx australis'' Shimizu & Hutchins, 1987 (Yelloweye nannygai) * ''Centroberyx druzhinini'' (Busakhin, 1981) * '' Centroberyx gerrardi'' ( Günther, 1887) (Bight redfish) * '' Centroberyx lineatus'' (G.

	Squirrelfish Holocentrinae is a subfamily of Holocentridae containing 40 recognized species and one proposed species. Its members are typically known as squirrelfish and all are nocturnal. All three genera in the subfamily are found in the Atlantic and ''Holocentrus'' is restricted to this ocean. Most species in genera ''Neoniphon'' and ''Sargocentron'' are from the Indo-Pacific region and several of these occur in the Indian Ocean west of the southern tip of India.Randal, J.E. and Heemstra, P.C. 1985"A review of the squirrelfishes of the subfamily Holocentrinae from the Western Indian Ocean and Red Sea" ''Ichthyological Bulletin of the J.L.B. Smith Institute of Ichthyology''; No. 49. J.L.B. Smith Institute of Ichthyology, Rhodes University. A rare example of the fish is featured in Ian Fleming's 1960 James Bond short story, "The Hildebrand Rarity."

picture info	Ray-finned Fish Families 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 Actinopteryg ...
