Thornfish

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The division of living beings into systematics is a continuous subject of research. Different systematic classifications exist side by side and one after the other. The taxon treated here has become obsolete due to new research or is not part of the group systematics presented in the German-language Wikipedia.

Scopelogadus mizolepis

The thornfish-like (Stephanoberyciformes, Berg , 1937) are an order of real bony fish living in the deep sea . Its characteristics include a body with a round cross-section, a toothless palate and mostly extremely thin skull bones.

Systematics

The order is controversial and paraphyletic . JA Moore puts all families of the order together with some families of the mucous head-like (Beryciformes) in the order Trachichthyiformes postulated by him. In the latest revision of the bony fish systematics, the Stephanoberyciformes are no longer used and the families assigned to them are placed in the order of the mucous head-like (Beryciformes), which only then becomes monophyletic .

Nelson gives two superfamilies, nine families , 28 genera and 75 species for the order. The whale head-like are listed in various sources as an independent order. The latest research has shown that two of the families described, the Megalomycteridae and the Mirapinnidae , do not contain any taxonomically independent taxa, but rather the male animals and the larvae of the Cetomimidae, which differ greatly in their external appearance and morphologically, are grouped together.
