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 Notacanthiformes and Actinopterygii
Bonefishes
Albulidae is a family of fish, commonly known as the bonefishes, that are popular as game fish in Florida, select locations in the South Pacific and the Bahamas (where two bonefish are featured on the 10-cent coin) and elsewhere.

Echinoderm
An echinoderm is any deuterostomal animal of the phylum Echinodermata, which includes starfish, brittle stars, sea urchins, sand dollars and sea cucumbers, as well as the sessile sea lilies or "stone lilies".
See Notacanthiformes and Echinoderm
Eel
Eels are ray-finned fish belonging to the order Anguilliformes, which consists of eight suborders, 20 families, 164 genera, and about 1000 species.
Fish fin
Fins are moving appendages protruding from the body of fish that interact with water to generate thrust and help the fish swim.

Fishes of the World
Fishes of the World is a standard reference for the systematics of fishes.

Halosaur
Halosaurs are eel-shaped fishes found only at great ocean depths. Notacanthiformes and Halosaur are deep sea fish.

Leptocephalus
A leptocephalus (meaning "slim head") is the flat and transparent larva of the eel, marine eels, and other members of the superorder Elopomorpha.

Lev Berg
Lev Semyonovich Berg, also known as Leo S. Berg (Лев Семёнович Берг.; 14 March 1876 – 24 December 1950) was a leading Russian geographer, biologist and ichthyologist who served as President of the Soviet Geographical Society between 1940 and 1950.

Mollusca
Mollusca is the second-largest phylum of invertebrate animals, after Arthropoda; members are known as molluscs or mollusks.
See Notacanthiformes and Mollusca
Notacanthidae
Notacanthidae, the deep-sea spiny eels, are a family of fishes found worldwide below, and as deep as. Notacanthiformes and Notacanthidae are deep sea fish and Elopomorpha stubs.
See Notacanthiformes and Notacanthidae
Order (biology)
Order (ordo) is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy.
See Notacanthiformes and Order (biology)
Sea anemone
Sea anemones are a group of predatory marine invertebrates constituting the order Actiniaria.
See Notacanthiformes and Sea anemone
Sessility (motility)
Sessility is the biological property of an organism describing its lack of a means of self-locomotion.
See Notacanthiformes and Sessility (motility)
Snub-nosed spiny eel
The snub-nosed spiny eel (Notacanthus chemnitzii) is a member of the family Notacanthidae, the deep-sea spiny eels, which are not true eels (Anguilliformes). Notacanthiformes and snub-nosed spiny eel are Elopomorpha stubs.
See Notacanthiformes and Snub-nosed spiny eel
Spiny eel
The name spiny eel is used to describe members of two different families of fish: the freshwater Mastacembelidae of Asia and Africa, and the marine (and generally deep sea) Notacanthidae.
