Gadiform fish range in size from the codlets, which may be as small as 7 cm (2.8 in) in adult length, to the Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua, which reaches up to 2 m (6.6 ft). [ 3 ] The earliest gadiforms are Palaeogadus weltoni from the Maastrichtian of the United States and the undescribed, informally named " Protocodus " from the Early Paleocene ...
Percophidae was first proposed as a family in 1839 by the English zoologist William John Swainson as a subfamily of the Percidae. [2] The 5th edition of Fishes of the World classifies this family within the order Trachiniformes and divides it into the subfamilies Bempropinae, Henerocoetinae and Percophinae. [3]

A study found that this strain of protist produces smaller (13–14.5 micrometres long vs 15–17 micrometres long), yet identically-shaped (narrow pyriform) spores than the original strain of protozoa and affects primarily within red and white muscle fibers and only rarely among the subdermal connective tissue in the trout-perch.

The ladyfish are a coastal-dwelling fish found throughout the tropical and subtropical regions, occasionally venturing into temperate waters. [3] Spawning takes place at sea, and the fish larvae migrate inland entering brackish waters. Their food is smaller fish and crustaceans . Typically throughout the species, the maximum size is 1 m (3.3 ft ...
