Biology:Ductor
From HandWiki
Ductor (Latin for "leader", referencing its resemblance and potential relation to the pilotfish, Naucrates ductor) is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine ray-finned fish that lived during the early Eocene.[1] It contains a single species, D. vestenae, known from the famous Monte Bolca site of Italy.[2] It is the only member of the family Ductoridae. It is the earliest representative of the suborder Echeneoidei, and is thought to be most closely related to cobias and dolphinfish.[3]
