Polynemus
''Polynemus'' is a genus of threadfins (family Polynemidae). They are native to South and Southeast Asia and, depending on the species, occur in freshwater, brackish, and/or marine environments. The family Polynemidae is characterized by the pectoral fin that is divided into two sections; the upper one with rays that are attached whereas the lower rays are long and unattached ("threads"). In ''Polynemus'', the unattached rays number 14–15, in contrast to 3–7 in other genera. Species There are eight recognized species in this genus: * '' Polynemus aquilonaris'' Motomura, 2003 ( Northern paradise fish) * ''Polynemus bidentatus'' Motomura & Tsukawaki, 2006 * '' Polynemus dubius'' Bleeker, 1854 ( Eastern paradise fish) * '' Polynemus hornadayi'' Myers, 1936 ( Hornaday's paradise fish) * ''Polynemus kapuasensis'' Motomura & van Oijen, 2003 ( Kapuas elegant paradise fish) * ''Polynemus melanochir'' Valenciennes, 1831 (Blackhand paradise fish) ** ''Polynemus melanochir melanoch ...

Threadfin
Threadfins are silvery grey perciform fish of the family Polynemidae. Found in tropical to subtropical waters throughout the world, the threadfin family contains eight genera and about 40 species. An unrelated species sometimes known by the name threadfin, ''Alectis indicus'', is properly the Indian threadfish (family Carangidae). Ranging in length from in the dwarf threadfin (''Parapolynemus verekeri'') to in fourfinger threadfin (''Eleutheronema tetradactylum'') and giant African threadfin (''Polydactylus quadrifilis''), threadfins are both important to commercial fisheries as a food fish, and popular among anglers. Their habit of forming large schools makes the threadfins a reliable and economic catch. Description Their bodies are elongated and fusiform, with spinous and soft dorsal fins widely separated. Their tail fins are large and deeply forked, indicating speed and agility. The mouth is large and inferior; a blunt snout projects far ahead. The jaws and palate pos ...
