Harriotta Raleighana
The narrownose chimaera (''Harriotta raleighana'') is a longnose chimaera of the family Rhinochimaeridae, the longnose chimaeras, consisting of eight species belonging three genera. This species is found in temperate seas worldwide, at depths between 200 and 2,600 m. Its length is between 1.0 and 1.5 m, including a long, tapering snout and a long, filamentous tail. Taxonomy This species was first described by George Brown Goode and Tarleton Hoffman Bean in 1895. The genus ''Harriotta'' refers to Thomas Harriot and the species name references Sir Walter Raleigh.

Rhinochimaeridae
The Rhinochimaeridae, commonly known as long-nosed chimaeras, are a family (biology), family of cartilaginous fish. They are similar in form and habits to other chimaeras, but have an exceptionally long conical or paddle-shaped snout. The snout has numerous sensory nerve endings, and is used to find food such as small fish. The first dorsal fin includes a mildly venomous spine, used in defense. Long-nosed chimaeras are found in temperate and tropical seas worldwide, from in depth. In August 2020, a long-nosed chimaera was brought up from off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. They range from in maximum total length, depending on species. Species The eight known species are in three genera: Family Rhinochimaeridae * Genus ''Harriotta'' George Brown Goode, Goode & Tarleton Hoffman Bean, Bean, 1895 ** ''Harriotta haeckeli'' Karrer, 1972 (smallspine spookfish) ** ''Harriotta raleighana'' Goode & Bean, 1895 (narrownose chimaera) * Genus ''Neoharriotta'' Henry Bryant Bigelow, ...

Harriotta Haeckeli
The smallspine spookfish (''Harriotta haeckeli'') is a species of fish in the family Rhinochimaeridae with a rather disjunct population. Its natural habitat is open seas. Taxonomy This species was first described by Christine Karrer in 1972. It has been hypothesised that some records of ''H. raleighana'' might refer to ''H. haeckeli''. This species is named in honor of both the research vessel ''Ernst Haeckel'', from which type was collected, and to the eminent zoologist Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919) for whom the ship was named. Description ''H. haeckeli'' is a small species compared to others in its genus and is coloured pale brown with darker shading on its underside. Distribution This species can be found off western Greenland, the Canary Islands, northeastern North America, Namibia, the southeastern Indian Ocean, Tasmania and southwestern New Zealand. It normally lives at depths greater than 1500 m. Conservation status This species is threatened by habitat loss. Howev ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
List Of Prehistoric Cartilaginous Fish

It includes all commonly accepted genera. This list currently contains 804 generic names. * Extinct genera are marked by a dagger ( †). * Extant taxon genera are bolded. Naming conventions and terminology Naming conventions and terminology follow the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Technical terms used include: * Junior synonym: A name which describes the same taxon as a previously published name.

Chondrichthyes
Chondrichthyes (; ) is a class that contains the cartilaginous fishes that have skeletons primarily composed of cartilage. They can be contrasted with the Osteichthyes or ''bony fishes'', which have skeletons primarily composed of bone tissue. Chondrichthyes are jawed vertebrates with paired fins, paired nares, scales, and a heart with its chambers in series. Extant chondrichthyes range in size from the 10 cm (3.9 in) finless sleeper ray to the 10 m (32 ft) whale shark. The class is divided into two subclasses: Elasmobranchii (sharks, rays, skates, and sawfish) and Holocephali ( chimaeras, sometimes called ghost sharks, which are sometimes separated into their own class). Within the infraphylum Gnathostomata, cartilaginous fishes are distinct from all other jawed vertebrates. Anatomy Skeleton The skeleton is cartilaginous. The notochord is gradually replaced by a vertebral column during development, except in Holocephali, where the notochord stays intact. In some deepwat ...

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family (taxonomy), family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants ...

Cartilaginous Fish Genera
Cartilage is a resilient and smooth type of connective tissue. In tetrapods, it covers and protects the ends of long bones at the joints as articular cartilage, and is a structural component of many body parts including the rib cage, the neck and the bronchial tubes, and the intervertebral discs. In other taxa, such as chondrichthyans, but also in cyclostomes, it may constitute a much greater proportion of the skeleton. It is not as hard and rigid as bone, but it is much stiffer and much less flexible than muscle. The matrix of cartilage is made up of glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, collagen fibers and, sometimes, elastin. Because of its rigidity, cartilage often serves the purpose of holding tubes open in the body. Examples include the rings of the trachea, such as the cricoid cartilage and carina. Cartilage is composed of specialized cells called chondrocytes that produce a large amount of collagenous extracellular matrix, abundant ground substance that is rich in proteoglyca ...
