Actinopterygii
Actinopterygii, members of which are known as ray-finned fish or actinopterygians, is a class of bony fish that comprise over 50% of living vertebrate species.
See Gorgasia and Actinopterygii
Animal
Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms in the biological kingdom Animalia.
Barnes' garden eel
The Barnes' garden eel (Gorgasia barnesi) is an eel in the family Congridae (conger/garden eels).

Chordate
A chordate is a deuterostomic animal belonging to the phylum Chordata. All chordates possess, at some point during their larval or adult stages, five distinctive physical characteristics (synapomorphies) that distinguish them from other taxa.
Congridae
The Congridae are the family of conger and garden eels.
Congrinae
The Congrinae are a subfamily of eels in the family Congridae.
Dotted garden eel
The dotted garden eel (Gorgasia punctata), also known as the peppered garden eel, is an eel in the family Congridae (conger/garden eels). Gorgasia and dotted garden eel are taxa named by Samuel Frederick Hildebrand and taxa named by Seth Eugene Meek.

Eel
Eels are ray-finned fish belonging to the order Anguilliformes, which consists of eight suborders, 20 families, 164 genera, and about 1000 species.

Oviparity
Oviparous animals are animals that reproduce by depositing fertilized zygotes outside the body (known as laying or spawning) in metabolically independent incubation organs known as eggs, which nurture the embryo into moving offsprings known as hatchlings with little or no embryonic development within the mother.
