Hexagrammidae
Hexagrammidae, the greenlings, is a family of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the suborder Cottoidei in the order Scorpaeniformes. These fishes are found in the North Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy Hexagrammidae was first proposed as a family in 1888 by the American ichthyologist David Starr Jordan. The 5th edition of '' Fishes of the World'' clasifies this family as the only family in the monotypic superfamily Hexagrammoidea within the suborder Cottoidei of the diverse order Scorpaeniformes. Other workers have found that if the Scorpaeniformes, as delimited in ''Fishes of the World'', is not included in the Perciformes it renders the Perciformes paraphyletic. These workers retain the Cottoidei as a suborder within the Perciformes while reclassifying Hexagrammoidea as the infraorder Hexagrammales. The family Zaniolepididae has been included within the Hexagrammidae, as the subfamilies Zaniolepidinae and Oxylebiinae, but ''Fishes of the World'' and Betancur ''et al'' classif ...

Pleurogramminae
''Pleurogrammus'' is a genus of ray-finned fishes belonging to the Family (biology), family Hexagrammidae, the greenlings, known as atka mackerels. These fishes are found in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy ''Pleurogrammus'' was first proposed as a genus in 1861 by the American biologist Theodore Gill with ''Labrax monopterygius'', which had been Species description, described in 1810 by Peter Simon Pallas, as its type species. The genus was placed in the monogeneric subfamily Pleurogramminae within the family Hexagrammidae by E. P. Rutenberg in 1954. Etymology ''Pleurogrammus'' is a compound of ''pleuro'', which means "side", and ''grammus'', meaning "line", a reference to the five lateral line canals on each flank. Species The currently recognized species in this genus are: Characteristics ''Pleurogrammus'' species have no incision in the dorsal fin, or if precent the incision is not deep. The caudal fin is forked and there are 5 lateral lines on each flankl. The up ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hexagrammos
''Hexagrammos'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Hexagrammidae, the greenlings. These fishes are found in the north Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy ''Hexagrammos'' was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1810 by the German naturalist Tilesius when he described ''Hexagrammos asper'' giving its type locality as Petropavlovsk in Kamchatka. Tilesius's original name was subsequently incorrectly changed to ''H. stelleri'' and this was the name which became settled on in the literature that followed and this use and practice means it that it is impractical to bring ''H. asper'' into common use. The genus is the only genus in the monogeneric subfamily Hexagramminae, within the family Hexagrammidae, part of the suborder Cottoidei within the order Scorpaeniformes The Scorpaeniformes are a diverse order of ray-finned fish, including the lionfishes and sculpins, but have also been called the Scleroparei.

Oxylebiinae
The painted greenling (''Oxylebius pictus'') is a marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Zaniolepididae, which includes this species and the combfishes. It is endemic to the northeast Pacific Ocean. It is the only species in the genus ''Oxylebius''. Taxonomy The painted greenling was first formally described in 1862 by the American biologist Theodore Gill with the type locality given as San Francisco. Gill classified it in the monospecific genus ''Oxylebius'' and proposed the monotypic subfamily Oxylebinae which was placed in the family Hexagrammidae, although the subfamily was placed in the Zaniolepididae in the 6th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' and other authorities. Etymology The painted greenling's generic name ''Oxylebius'' prefixes ''oxy'' meaning "sharp", alluding to the sharper snout of this species in comparison to ''Zaniolepis'', to ''lebius'' which Gill did not explain. However jordan and Evermann gave their view that ''lebius'' is a Synonym of ''Hexa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Zaniolepididae
The Zaniolepididae is a family of marine ray-finned fishes classified within the suborder Cottoidei of the order Scorpaeniformes. They are found in the North Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy ''Zaniolepididae'' was first proposed as a family in 1883 by the American ichthyologists David Starr Jordan and Charles Henry Gilbert. this taxon has been classified as the subfamily Zaniolepinae within the Hexagrammidae. This family is classified within its own superfamily, the Zaniolepidoidea, within the suborder Cottoidei of the Scorpaeniformes. Other workers have found that if the Scorpaeniformes, as delimited in ''Fishes of the World'', is not included in the Perciformes it renders the Perciformes paraphyletic. These workers retain the Cottoidei as a suborder within the Perciformes while reclassifying Zaniolepidoidea as the infraorder Zaniolepidoales.

Lingcod
The lingcod or ling cod (''Ophiodon elongatus''), also known as the buffalo cod or cultus cod, is a fish of the greenling family Hexagrammidae. It is the only extant member of the genus ''Ophiodon. ''A slightly larger, extinct species, '' Ophiodon ozymandias'', is known from fossils from the Late Miocene of Southern California.'' ''Ophiodon elongatus'' is native to the North American west coast from Shumagin Islands in the Gulf of Alaska to Baja California, Mexico. It has been observed up to a size of and a weight of . It is spotted in various shades of gray. The lingcod is a popular eating fish, and is thus prized by anglers. Though not closely related to either ling or cod, the name "lingcod" originated because it somewhat resembles those fish. Around 20% of lingcods have blue-green to turquoise flesh.p. 298 The colour is destroyed by cooking. The colour may be due to biliverdin, but this has not been established beyond doubt.

Cottoidei
Cottoidei is a suborder of ray-finned fishes which, according to the 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'', is placed within the order Scorpaeniformes, alongside the scorpionfishes, flatheads, eelpouts,sticklebacks and related fishes. Taxonomy Cottoidei was first proposed as a taxonomic grouping in 1835 by the Swiss-American zoologist Louis Agassiz. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies the Cottoidei as a suborder of the order Scorpaeniformes. Other workers have found that if the Scorpaeniformes, as delimited in ''Fishes of the World'', is not included in the Perciformes it renders the Perciformes paraphyletic. These workers retain the Cottoidei as a suborder within the Perciformes but include the zoarcoids and Sticklebacks and allies as the infraorders Zoarcales and Gasterosteales while reclassifying most the superfamilies of ''Fishes of the World'' as infraorders.

Scorpaeniformes
The Scorpaeniformes are a diverse order of ray-finned fish, including the lionfishes and sculpins, but have also been called the Scleroparei. It is one of the five largest orders of bony fishes by number of species, with over 1,320. They are known as "mail-cheeked" fishes due to their distinguishing characteristic, the suborbital stay: a backwards extension of the third circumorbital bone (part of the lateral head/cheek skeleton, below the eye socket) across the cheek to the pre operculum, to which it is connected in most species. Scorpaeniform fishes are carnivorous, mostly feeding on crustaceans and on smaller fish. Most species live on the sea bottom in relatively shallow waters, although species are known from deep water, from the midwater, and even from fresh water. They typically have spiny heads, and rounded pectoral and caudal fins. Most species are less than in length, but the full size range of the order varies from the velvetfishes belonging to the family Aploactin ...
