Paralepididae
Barracudinas are any member of the marine mesopelagic fish family Paralepididae: 50 or so extant species are found almost worldwide in deep waters. Several genera are known only from fossils dating back to the Ypresian epoch. The generic name ''Paralepis'' (for which the family is named) is from Greek - ''para'' meaning "somewhat", ' meaning "scaled". Description Barracudinas are elongated, slender fish with large eyes, and a pointed snout containing fang-like teeth. This gives them some superficial resemblance to barracudas (family Sphyraenidae), although the two groups are not closely related. Barracudinas are actually related to lizardfish (order Aulopiformes; suborder Alepisauroidei) and are most closely aligned with lancetfish (family Alepisauridae), hammerjaws (family Omosudidae) and daggertooths (family Anotopteridae). Like their close relatives, barracudinas lack swim bladders and are simultaneous hermaphrodites, a reproductive mode which is rare among vertebrates. T ...

Anotopteridae
The daggertooths (genus ''Anotopterus'') are a genus of marine mesopelagic fish in the order Aulopiformes, the sole genus of the family Anotopteridae. They are found in oceans worldwide, but prefer cooler waters. Description Daggertooths are not similar in appearance to the related lancetfishes and barracudina. They are elongate, silvery, predatory marine fishes that lack scales and have sharp teeth likely used for hunting fishes. However, as their scientific name (meaning "without fins on its back") suggests, they lack dorsal fins which easily differentiates them from their close allies, especially the similar-looking lancetfishes. Another feature that distinguishes daggertooths from lancetfishes is the placement of the large, fang-like teeth. In lancetfishes, the fangs appear on both the upper and lower jaws while in daggertooths the fangs are only seen along the upper jaw. Whether the fangs or the distinctly protruding mandible inspired the common name "daggertooth" remains unc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Aulopiformes
Aulopiformes is a diverse order of marine ray-finned fish consisting of some 15 extant and several prehistoric families with about 45 genera and over 230 species. The common names grinners, lizardfishes and allies, or aulopiforms are sometimes used for this group. The scientific name means "''Aulopus''-shaped", from ''Aulopus'' (the type genus) + the standard fish order suffix "-formes". It ultimately derives from Ancient Greek ''aulós'' (αὐλός, "flute" or "pipe") + Latin ''forma'' ("external form"), the former in reference to the elongated shape of many aulopiforms.FishBase (2000) They are grouped together because of common features in the structure of their gill arches. Indeed, many authors have considered them so distinct as to warrant separation in a monotypic superorder of the Teleostei, under the name Cyclosquamata. However, monotypic taxa are generally avoided by modern taxonomists if not necessary, and in this case a distinct superorder seems indeed unwarra ...
