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, ...

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 ...
