A printed 3000-page three-volume and CD version of the Catalogue was published in 1998. That was preceded by a Catalog of the genera of recent fishes in 1990. [5] The Catalog was renamed Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes in 2019, and is now edited by Ronald Fricke, Richard van der Laan and William N. Eschmeyer. It is available online, and updated ...

Eschmeyer nexus was first formally described in 1983 by the American ichthyologists Stuart G. Poss and Victor G. Springer with the type locality given as Fiji. [1] Poss and Springer placed their new species in the new monotypic genus Eschmeyer [2] and in 2001 Sergey Anatolyevich Mandritsa classified that genus within the monogeneric family Eschmeyeridae, [3] The 5th edition of Fishes of the ...
Camouflaged porcupine ray. Myliobatiformes (/ m ɪ l i ˈ ɒ b ə t ɪ f ɔːr m iː z /) is one of the four orders of batoids, cartilaginous fishes related to sharks. [2] [3] They were formerly included in the order Rajiformes, but more recent phylogenetic studies have shown the myliobatiforms to be a monophyletic group, and its more derived members evolved their highly flattened shapes ...
Billfishes and other fish species within this order is following the more recent Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes Classification with adjustments for the broader definition found in paleontology liturature. What should happen is Carangiformes being updated to follow Eschmeyers expanded phylogeny of the order.
The 5th edition of Fishes of the World classifies the extant taxa in this order as follows, as does Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes: [6] [7] [8] Order Gonorynchiformes Greenwood, Rosen, Weitzman, and Myers, 1966. Family Chanidae Günther, 1868 (milkfishes) Family Gonorynchidae Richardson, 1848 (beaked sandfishes) Family Kneriidae Günther, 1868 ...
