Biology:Cyttus
From HandWiki
Cyttus is the sole genus in the family Cyttidae a family of large, showy, deep-bodied zeiform marine fish. Members of this genus are found in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Ocean.[1]
An apparent extinct relative, Cyttoides, was originally recognized from the Early Oligocene of Canton Glarus, Switzerland.[2] However, more recent studies have found it to actually represent an indeterminate species of Zenopsis.[3] The king dory was occasionally placed in the distinct genus Cyttoides, which is now known to have been preoccupied by the fossil fish.[4]
Species
There are currently three recognized species in this genus:[1]
- Cyttus australis (J. Richardson, 1843) (silver dory)
- Cyttus novaezealandiae (Arthur, 1885) (New Zealand dory)
- Cyttus traversi F. W. Hutton, 1872 (king dory)
