Triacanthoidei
Triacanthoidei is a suborder of ray-finned fishes belonging to the order Tetraodontiformes, which includes the pufferfishes, triggerfishes and related taxa. These benthic fishes are mainly found in the Indian Ocean with some of the spikefishes found in the Western Atlantic Ocean. Taxonomy Triacanthoidei was first proposed as a superfamily, the Triacanthoidea, in 1968 by the American ichthyologist James C. Tyler who placed it in the monotypic suborder Triacanthoidei. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' does not use the superfamily classification for this taxon, listing only the suborder and its constituent families within the order Tetraodontiformes. Etymology Triacanthoidei has its base in the name of the genus '' Triacanthus'' which prefixes ''acanthus'', meaning "thorn" or "spine" with ''tri'' , which means "three". This is a reference too the large first spine of the dorsal fin and the two large spines in the pelvic fin. The element ''oid'' is a contraction of ''oides'' ...

Trixiphichthys Weberi
''Trixiphichthys'', is a monospecific genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Triacanthidae, the triplespines or tripodfishes. The only species in this genus is ''Trixiphichthys weberi'', the blacktip tripodfish or longnosed tripodfish. This taxon is found in the Indo-West Pacific region. Taxonomy ''Trixiphichthys'' was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1941 by the British ichthyologist Alec Fraser-Brunner with ''Triacanthus weberi'' designated as its type species. ''T. weberi'' was first formally described in 1910 by Banawari Lal Chaudhuri with its type locality given as Gopalpur, Odisha. This genus is classified within the family Triacanthida and, in 1968, James C. Tyler classified this family within the suborder Triacanthoidei alongside the Triacanthodidae. The fifth edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies the Triacanthoidei as a suborder of the order Tetraodontiformes. Etymology ''Trixiphichthys'', the genus name, is derived from the word ' ...

Triacanthus Biaculeatus
''Triacanthus biaculeatus'', also known as the short-nosed tripod fish, black-finned triple-spine, blacktail tripodfish, hollow-snouted tripodfish or silver tripodfish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Triacanthidae, the triplespines or tripodfishes. This species is found in the Indo-West Pacific region. Taxonomy ''Triacanthus biaculeatus'' was first formally described as ''Balistes biaculeatus'' in 1786 by the German physician and naturalist Marcus Elieser Bloch with its type locality given as the Indian Ocean. In 1817 Lorenz Oken classified ''B. aculeatus'' in the new monospecific genus '' Triacanthus'', so this species is the type species of the genus ''Triacanthus'' by monotypy. This genus is classified in the family Triacanthidae within the suborder Triacanthoidei alongside the Triacanthodidae. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies the Triacanthoidei as suborder of the order Tetraodontiformes. Etymology ''Triacanthus biac ...

Triacanthidae
Triacanthidae, the triplespines or tripodfishes, is a family of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the order Tetraodontiformes, which also includes the pufferfishes, boxfishes, filefishes and related groups. The family is made up of four extant genera and three extinct genera which are known from fossils. Taxonomy Triacanthidae was first proposed as a family in 1859 by the Dutch physician, herpetologist and ichthyologist Pieter Bleeker, and, in 1968, James C. Tyler classified it within the suborder Triacanthoidei alongside the Triacanthodidae. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies this as suborder of the order Tetraodontiformes. Genera Triacanthidae contains the following extant genera: Characteristics Triacanthidae triplespines's, like their relatives the triggerfishes and the filefishes first ray of the dorsal fin is formed to a spine. Further, they have two spines in place of their ventral fins. They have sharp and heavy teeth, which they use to eat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Triacanthus
''Triacanthus'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Triacanthidae, the triplespines or tripodfishes. The two species in this genus are found in the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean.

Triacanthodes Anomalus
''Triacanthodes anomalus'', the red spikefish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Triacanthodidae, the spikefishes. This species is found in the Northwestern Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy ''Triacanthodes anomalus'' was first formally described as ''Tricanthus anomalus'' in 1850 by Coenraad Jacob Temminck and Hermann Schlegel, with its type locality given as the entrance to Ōmura Bay in Nagasaki, Japan. In 1857, Pieter Bleeker proposed the new monospecific genus '' Triacanthodes'' for ''T. anomalus'' and designated this species as its type species. This genus is the type genus of the family Triacanthodidae and of the subfamily Triacanthodinae. The fifth edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies the family Triacanthodidae in the suborder Triacanthoidei in the order Tetraodontiformes. Etymology ''Triacanthodes anomalus'' is classified in the genus ''Triacanthodes'', a name which suffixes ''-odes'', meaning "having the form of", onto ''Triacanthus'', ...
