The tiger muskellunge (Esox masquinongy × lucius or Esox lucius × masquinongy), [1] commonly called tiger muskie, is a carnivorous fish, and is the usually sterile, hybrid offspring of the true muskellunge (Esox masquinongy) and the northern pike (Esox lucius). It lives in fresh water and its range extends to Canada, the Northeast, and the ...
A muskie will have seven or more per side, while the northern pike never has more than six. The lobes of the caudal (tail) fin in muskellunge come to a sharper point, while those of northern pike are more generally rounded. In addition, unlike pike, muskies have no scales on the lower half of their opercula. [citation needed]
An elongated, snake-like fish, Myrichthys maculosus can grow to a length of 1 m (40 in), but a more common size is 50 cm (20 in). [2] The head is small with a short snout and long tubular nostrils pointing downwards. There are two rows of teeth on each jaw and two more rows on the palate.
Specimens were collected from the ocean near Vanuatu in 1994, but researchers only recently identified them as a new species, a study said. Creature with ‘large’ mouth and pointy teeth found ...
Hydrocynus vittatus. Several species belonging to the genus Hydrocynus of the family Alestidae are referred to as "tigerfish", and are particularly prized as game fish.These African fish are found in many rivers and lakes on the continent and are fierce predators with distinctive, proportionally large teeth.
The teeth sit outside of the mouth, interlocking, with two large lower fangs that curl upward reaching past the fish’s eyes. Because its jaw can unhinge, the viperfish can eat large prey for its ...
A new species of fish has been discovered in the Amazon: a piranha relative with humanlike teeth. The eye-catcher was named after a “Lord of the Rings” villain.
This species is certainly the largest bony fish ever and perhaps the largest non-cetacean marine animal to have ever existed. Estimates of the size of this fish range from 21 to 27 m (69 to 89 ft) and mass from 20 to 50 tons. A maximum size of 22 m (72 ft) and 25–30 tons has been deemed to be most realistic. [70]
