Oneirodidae
The dreamers are a family, Oneirodidae, of deep-sea anglerfishes in the order Lophiiformes. They are the largest and most diverse group of deep-sea anglerfish, and also the least well known with 16 genera represented by only one, two, or three female specimens.Pietsch, Theodore W. and Kenaley, Christopher P.

They are found in deep, temperate waters around the world.

Spiniphryne
''Spiniphryne'', also called spiny dreamers, is a genus of dreamers. Like other deep-sea anglerfish, ''Spiniphryne'' lure prey to them by means of a modified first dorsal fin ray with a bioluminescent bulb at the tip. ''Spiniphryne'' is unique amongst the oneirodids for being covered in tiny spines. Species There are currently two recognized species in this genus: * '' Spiniphryne duhameli'' Pietsch & Z. H. Baldwin, 2006 * '' Spiniphryne gladisfenae'' ( Beebe, 1932) (Prickly dreamer) Taxonomy The type species, ''S. gladisfenae'', was originally described by William Beebe in 1932 under the oneirodid genus '' Dolopichthys''. Six months later that year, Regan and Trewavas revised the species into a new genus, '' Centrophryne'', along with the newly described species '' Centrophryne spinulosa''. In 1951, Bertelsen moved ''C. spinulosa'' into its own family, Centrophrynidae, but retained "''Centrophryne gladisfenae''" in the Oneirodidae under a new genus, ''Spiniphryne''. This cla ...

Lophiiformes
The anglerfish are fish of the teleost order Lophiiformes (). They are bony fish named for their characteristic mode of predation, in which a modified luminescent fin ray (the esca or illicium) acts as a lure for other fish. The luminescence comes from symbiotic bacteria, which are thought to be acquired from seawater, that dwell in and around the sea. Some anglerfish are notable for extreme sexual dimorphism and sexual symbiosis of the small male with the much larger female, seen in the suborder Ceratioidei, the deep sea anglerfish. In these species, males may be several orders of magnitude smaller than females. Anglerfish occur worldwide. Some are pelagic (dwelling away from the sea floor), while others are benthic (dwelling close to the sea floor). Some live in the deep sea (such as the Ceratiidae), while others on the continental shelf, such as the frogfishes and the Lophiidae (monkfish or goosefish). Pelagic forms are most often laterally compressed, whereas the ben ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
