Bigeye
The Priacanthidae, the bigeyes, are a family of 18 species of marine ray-finned fishes. " Catalufa" is an alternate common name for some members of the Priacanthidae. The etymology of the scientific name (, to bite + , thorn) refers to the family's very rough, spined scales. The common name of "bigeye" refers to the member species' unusually large eyes, suited to their carnivorous and nocturnal lifestyles. Priacanthidae are typically colored bright red, but some have patterns in silver, dusky brown, or black. Most species reach a maximum total length of about , although in a few species lengths of over are known. Most members of this family are native to tropical and subtropical parts of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, but four species (''Cookeolus japonicus'', ''Heteropriacanthus cruentatus'', ''Priacanthus arenatus'', and ''Pristigenys alta'') are found in the Atlantic. They tend to live near rock outcroppings or reefs, although a few are known to inhabit open waters. Many ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Priacanthus Arenatus
''Priacanthus arenatus'', the toro or Atlantic bigeye, is a species of marine ray finned fish, a bigeye in the family Priacanthidae. Some anglers refer to this fish as "toro snapper", but it is not a snapper, and only distantly related to the fish of the snapper family. It is found across much of the Atlantic ocean. Description The Atlantic bigeye is a small to medium sized perciform fish. Almost all parts of the fish are entirely reddish-orange, including the eyes. The dorsal fin has 10 spines, and 14 rays. The anal fin has 3 spines and 15 rays. Atlantic bigeye are commonly found at around 14 in. The IGFA world record is 50 cm, or about 20", caught in 2001. The eyes of the Atlantic bigeye are large, due to being primarily nocturnal feeders. Atlantic bigeye form small aggregations near the bottom of the ocean at night. Distribution Atlantic bigeye are widely distributed across both the Northern and Southern Atlantic Ocean. It is widely distributed throughout the subtropical and ...

Glasseye
''Heteropriacanthus'', the glasseyes or glass bigeyes, are a genus of the bigeye family found in all tropical seas around the world. It occasionally makes its way into the aquarium trade. It grows to a size of in total length. The glasseyes has been classified in a single species, ''Heteropriacanthus cruentatus'', but recent morphological and genetic analysis indicates that glasseyes may be better divided into three species: ''Heteropriacanthus cruentatus'' (Atlantic Ocean and southwest Indian Ocean), ''H. fulgens'' (northeastern Atlantic), and ''H. carolinus'' (Indo-Pacific The Indo-Pacific is a vast biogeographic region of Earth.

Cookeolus Japonicus
''Cookeolus japonicus'' is a species of fish in the family Priacanthidae, the bigeyes and catalufas.
