  3. Catostomidae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catostomidae

    Throughout much of their range species are considered to be rough fish. Suckers have historically been scapegoated for human environmental destruction and their impacts on popular fish species such as Pacific salmon and smallmouth bass. This has led to their widespread and unnecessary destruction at the hands of ignorant anglers. [12]

  4. Pharyngeal teeth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharyngeal_teeth

    Pharyngeal teeth are teeth in the pharyngeal arch of the throat of cyprinids, suckers, and a number of other fish species otherwise lacking teeth. [ 1 ] Many popular aquarium fish such as goldfish and loaches have these structures.

  5. Branchial arch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branchial_arch

    Branchial arches or gill arches are a series of paired bony/cartilaginous "loops" behind the throat (pharyngeal cavity) of fish, which support the fish gills. As chordates, all vertebrate embryos develop pharyngeal arches, though the eventual fate of these arches varies between taxa.

  6. Pyriform sinus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyriform_sinus

    This sinus is a common place for food particles to become trapped; if foreign material becomes lodged in the piriform fossa of an infant, it may be retrieved nonsurgically. If the area is injured (e.g., by a fish bone), it can give the sensation of food stuck in the subject's throat. [2]

  7. Fish jaw - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_jaw

    Fish jaws, like vertebrates in general, normally show bilateral symmetry. An exception occurs with the parasitic scale-eating cichlid Perissodus microlepis. The jaws of this fish occur in two distinct morphological forms. One morph has its jaw twisted to the left, allowing it to eat scales more readily on its victim's right flank.

  8. Weberian apparatus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weberian_apparatus

    The earliest recorded incidence of a Weberian apparatus is from the fossil fish Santanichthys diasii dating from the Early Cretaceous of Northeastern Brazil. In the aforementioned taxon, the Weberian apparatus is fairly developed; there is a distinguishable intercalarium and a tripus which articulate with the second and third vertebrae ...

  9. Ishikawa diagram - Wikipedia

    Sample Ishikawa diagram shows the causes contributing to problem. The defect, or the problem to be solved, [1] is shown as the fish's head, facing to the right, with the causes extending to the left as fishbones; the ribs branch off the backbone for major causes, with sub-branches for root-causes, to as many levels as required.
