Onuxodon Fowleri

	Onuxodon Fowleri ''Onuxodon fowleri'' is a species of pearlfish first described by Smith, 1955. ''Onuxodon fowleri'' is part of the genus Onuxodon and the subfamily Carapinae Carapinae is a subfamily of pearlfishes, of the family Carapidae. The subfamily consists of four genera: ''Carapus'' Rafinesque, 1810 ''Echiodon'' Thompson, 1837 ''Encheliophis'' Müller, 1842 ''Onuxodon ''Onuxodon'' is an Indo-Pacifi ....

	Onuxodon ''Onuxodon'' is an Indo-Pacific genus of pearlfishes from the family Carapidae. The generic name is derived from the Greek ''onyx'' meaning "claw" and ''odon'' meaning "tooth", referring to the sharp fang like teeth of ''Onuxodon parvibrachium''. Species in this genus are distributed from South Africa to Hawaii. They live commensal Commensalism is a long-term biological interaction (symbiosis) in which members of one species gain benefits while those of the other species neither benefit nor are harmed. This is in contrast with mutualism, in which both organisms benefit fro ...ly with molluscs. The three currently recognized species are: * '' Onuxodon fowleri'' ( J. L. B. Smith, 1955) (Fowler's pearlfish) * '' Onuxodon margaritiferae'' ( Rendahl, 1921) (bivalve pearlfish) * '' Onuxodon parvibrachium'' ( Fowler, 1927) (oyster pearlfish) References Carapidae {{Ophidiiformes-stub ...

picture info	Carapidae Pearlfish are marine fish in the ray-finned fish family Carapidae. Pearlfishes inhabit the tropical waters of the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans at depths to , along oceanic shelves and slopes. They are slender, elongated fish with no scales, translucent bodies, and dorsal fin rays which are shorter than their anal fin rays. Adults of most species live symbiotically inside various invertebrate hosts, and some live parasitically inside sea cucumbers. The larvae are free living. Characteristics Pearlfishes are slender, distinguished by having dorsal fin rays that are shorter than their anal fin rays. They have translucent, scaleless bodies reminiscent of eels. The largest pearlfish are about in length. They reproduce by laying oval-shaped eggs, about 1 mm in length. Ecology Pearlfishes are unusual in that the adults of most species live inside various types of invertebrates. They typically live inside clams, starfish, or sea squirts, and are simply commensal, not h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
