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 Ogcocephalus parvus and Actinopterygii

Anglerfish

The anglerfish are fish of the teleost order Lophiiformes.

See Ogcocephalus parvus and Anglerfish

Biologist

A biologist is a scientist who conducts research in biology.

Buckler

A buckler (French bouclier 'shield', from Old French bocle, boucle 'boss') is a small shield, up to 45 cm (up to 18 in) in diameter, gripped in the fist with a central handle behind the boss.

See Ogcocephalus parvus and Buckler

Caribbean Sea

Family (biology)

Family (familia,: familiae) is one of the nine major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy.

See Ogcocephalus parvus and Family (biology)

Fish fin

Fins are moving appendages protruding from the body of fish that interact with water to generate thrust and help the fish swim.

See Ogcocephalus parvus and Fish fin

Fish measurement

Fish measurement is the measuring of individual fish and various parts of their anatomies, for data used in many areas of ichthyology, including taxonomy and fishery biology.

See Ogcocephalus parvus and Fish measurement

Fishes of the World

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

See Ogcocephalus parvus and Fishes of the World

Gill raker

Gill rakers in fish are bony or cartilaginous processes that project from the branchial arch (gill arch) and are involved with suspension feeding tiny prey.

See Ogcocephalus parvus and Gill raker

Gulf of Mexico

The Gulf of Mexico (Golfo de México) is an ocean basin and a marginal sea of the Atlantic Ocean, mostly surrounded by the North American continent.

See Ogcocephalus parvus and Gulf of Mexico

Monotypic taxon

In biology, a monotypic taxon is a taxonomic group (taxon) that contains only one immediately subordinate taxon.

See Ogcocephalus parvus and Monotypic taxon

Ogcocephalidae

Ogcocephalidae is a family of anglerfish specifically adapted for a benthic lifestyle of crawling about on the seafloor.

See Ogcocephalus parvus and Ogcocephalidae

Operculum (fish)

The operculum is a series of bones found in bony fish and chimaeras that serves as a facial support structure and a protective covering for the gills; it is also used for respiration and feeding.

See Ogcocephalus parvus and Operculum (fish)

Order (biology)

Order (ordo) is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy.

See Ogcocephalus parvus and Order (biology)

Pelvic fins or ventral fins are paired fins located on the ventral (belly) surface of fish, and are the lower of the only two sets of paired fins (the other being the laterally positioned pectoral fins).

See Ogcocephalus parvus and Pelvic fin

Quintana Roo

Quintana Roo, officially the Free and Sovereign State of Quintana Roo (Estado Libre y Soberano de Quintana Roo), is one of the 31 states which, with Mexico City, constitute the 32 federal entities of Mexico.

Specific name (zoology)

In zoological nomenclature, the specific name (also specific epithet, species epithet, or epitheton) is the second part (the second name) within the scientific name of a species (a binomen).

Type (biology)

In biology, a type is a particular specimen (or in some cases a group of specimens) of an organism to which the scientific name of that organism is formally associated.
