Ray-finned Fish
Actinopterygii (; ), members of which are known as ray-finned fishes, is a class of bony fish. They comprise over 50% of living vertebrate species. The ray-finned fishes are so called because their fins are webs of skin supported by bony or horny spines (rays), as opposed to the fleshy, lobed fins that characterize the class Sarcopterygii (lobe-finned fish). These actinopterygian fin rays attach directly to the proximal or basal skeletal elements, the radials, which represent the link or connection between these fins and the internal skeleton (e.g., pelvic and pectoral girdles). By species count, actinopterygians dominate the vertebrates, and they constitute nearly 99% of the over 30,000 species of fish. They are ubiquitous throughout freshwater and marine environments from the deep sea to the highest mountain streams. Extant species can range in size from ''Paedocypris'', at , to the massive ocean sunfish, at , and the long-bodied oarfish, at . The vast majority of Actinoptery ...

Lepidomeda Copei
The northern leatherside chub (''Lepidomeda copei'') is a cyprinid fish of western North America. This is a small fish, reported at up to 15 cm (6 in) in length, but more typically half that. The tapered body is covered with very small scales over a skin with a leathery texture, inspiring the common name. Overall color is bluish dorsally and silver ventrally; males are distinguished by patches of orange-red color on the axils of the paired fins, at the base of the anal fin, and along the lower lobe of the tail, as well as golden-red specks at the upper end of the gill opening, and between eye and upper jaw. Unlike most other minnows, both dorsal and anal fins have eight rays. Its habitat is cooler creeks and rivers with moderate currents, where the adults congregate in pools or riffles, while the young favor quiet areas with brush near the shore. Northern leatherside chubs range from the upper Snake River system in Idaho and Wyoming, where they were probably introduced ...

Tautog
The tautog (''Tautoga onitis''), also known as the blackfish, is a species of wrasse native to the western Atlantic Ocean from Nova Scotia to South Carolina. This species inhabits hard substrate habitats in inshore waters at depths from . It is currently the only known member of its genus. Barlett (1848) wrote, " autaugis a Native American word, and may be found in Roger Williams' ''Key to the Indian Language''." The name is from the Narragansett language, originally ''tautauog'' (pl. of ''taut''). It is also called a "black porgy" (''cf.'' Japanese black porgy), "chub" (''cf.'' the freshwater chub), "oyster-fish" (in North Carolina) or "blackfish" (in New York/New Jersey, New England). Description Tautog are brown and dark olive, with white blotches, and have plump, elongated bodies. They have an average weight of and reach a maximum length and weight of and respectively.

Coregonus Hoyi
''Coregonus hoyi'', also known as the bloater, is a species or form of freshwater whitefish in the family Salmonidae. It is a silvery-coloured herring-like fish, long. It is found in most of the Great Lakes and in Lake Nipigon, and inhabits underwater slopes. This fish is not to be confused with the extinct deepwater cisco (''Coregonus johannae''), a large fish that shared a common name with the bloater. Description The bloater is a small, silvery-coloured whitefish with a pink and purple iridescence. It has a greenish tinge above, and a whitish belly. It is very similar to the kiyi, from which it may be distinguished by its lighter upper lip and smaller eye. Its body is deepest at its middle, it has small and pale fins, and it has 40–47 long gill rakers. The discoverer of the bloater, P. R. Hoy, thought it to be "the most beautiful of the white fish". It reaches a maximum total length of and commonly is . Distribution The bloater is native to all of the Great Lakes (e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Coregonus Artedi
''Coregonus artedi'', commonly known as the cisco, is a North American species of freshwater whitefish in the family Salmonidae. The number of species and definition of species limits in North American ciscoes is a matter of debate. Accordingly, ''Coregonus artedi'' may refer either in a narrow sense to one of the several types of cisco found e.g. in the Great Lakes, or in a broad sense to the complex of all ciscoes in continental North American lakes, ''Coregonus artedi'' sensu lato. ''Coregonus artedi'', narrow sense Narrowly defined, ''Coregonus artedi'' is known variously with the common names cisco, northern cisco, lake herring, chub or tullibee and its Anishinaabe name ''Odoonibiins''. It is a pelagic fish occurring in the midwater zone of cold water lakes in North America. In the northern and western parts of its range it is also found in large rivers. This species occasionally grows as large as 40 cm and 2.3 kg (five pounds), but is more commonly 28 to 38&nb ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Algansea
''Algansea'' is a genus of ray-finned fish in the family Leuciscidae, distributed in the Lerma– Chapala– Grande de Santiago, Pátzcuaro, Armería, Ameca, Ayutla and Tuxpan basins in west-central Mexico (mostly Jalisco, but also surrounding states and the State of Mexico).

The different species are generally quite similar in their appearance, being yellowish- or olive-brown overall; darker on the upperparts and paler, more silvery on the underparts. They have a long blackish line along the side of the body from the gill covers to the tail base, or a blackish spot at the base of the tail.
