Chaunax
''Chaunax'', variously known as coffinfishes, gapers, or frogmouths, is a genus of marine Actinopterygii, ray-finned fishes. It is one of two genera belonging to the family (biology), family Chaunacidae, the sea toads. They are found in tropical and subtropical oceans around the world, typically in deep water. Taxonomy ''Chaunax'' was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1846 by the English naturalist Richard Thomas Lowe when he species description, described ''Chaunax pictus'' as a new species from Madeira. There are three species groups within the genus: ''C. pictus'', containing three species; ''C. abei'', containing 17 species; and ''C. fimbriatus'', containing nine species. This genus is classified within the family Sea toad, Chaunacidae, the sea toads, one of two genera in that family. The sea toads are placed within the monotypic taxon, monotypic suborder Chaunacoidei within the anglerfish order (biology), order Lophiiformes. Etymology ''Chaunax'' means "one who g ...

Chaunax Suttkusi
''Chaunax suttkissi'', the pale-cavity gaper, spotted frogmouth, spotted gaper or Sutkus sea toad, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Chaunacidae, the sea toads. This species is found in the Atlantic Ocean. Taxonomy ''Chaunax suttkisi'' was first formally described in 1989 by the American ichthyologist John H. Caruso with its type locality given as off Venezuela in the Caribbean Sea at 11°40'N, 62°33'W, at a depth of . Within the genus ''Chaunax'' this species is placed in the ''Chaunax fimbriatus'' species group. The genus ''Chaunax'' is one of two genera classified by the 5th edition of the ''Fishes of the World'' within the family Chaunacidae, the sea toads. The sea toads are placed within the monotypic suborder Chaunacoidei within the anglerfish order Lophiiformes. Etymology ''Chaunax'', the genus name, means "one who gapes", from ''chanos'' meaning "to gape", an allusion to the large, wide mouths of these fishes. The specific name ''suttkus ...

Chaunacoidei
The sea toads and coffinfishes are a family, the Chaunacidae, of deep-sea ray-finned fishes belonging to the monotypic suborder Chaunacoidei within the order Lophiiformes, the anglerfishes. These are bottom-dwelling fishes found on the continental slopes of the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans, at depths to at least . There have also been findings of deep-sea anglerfishes off the coasts of Australia and New Caledonia. Other findings suggest some genera of Chaunacidae are found near volcanic slopes encrusted with manganese. Of the two genera in the family, '' Chaunacops'' are typically found at deeper depths than ''Chaunax'', but with considerable overlap between the two genera. Taxonomy The sea toads were first proposed as a separate family, the Chaunacidae, by the American biologist Theodore Gill in 1863. Charles Tate Regan placed this family within the division Antennariformes within his suborder Lophiodea when he classified the order Pediculati, his grouping of the toadfish ...

Anglerfish
The anglerfish are ray-finned fish in the order Lophiiformes (). Both the order's common name, common and scientific name comes from the characteristic mode of predation, in which a modified dorsal Fish fin#Ray-fins, fin ray acts as a Aggressive mimicry#Food as an attractant, lure for prey (akin to a human Angling, angler, and likened to a crest or "''wikt:Lophius, lophos''"). The modified fin ray, with the very tip being the Esca (fish anatomy), esca and the length of the structure the Illicium (fish anatomy), illicium, is adapted to attract specific prey items across the families of anglerfish by using different luring methods. Anglerfish occur worldwide. The majority are bottom-dwellers, being demersal fish, while the aberrant deep-sea anglerfish are Pelagic fish, pelagic, (mostly) living high in the water column. Some live in the Deep-sea fish, deep sea (such as the deep-sea anglerfish and sea toads), while others live in Shallow water marine environment, shallower waters, s ...

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] [Amazon] |
