1 Teleostei ‘perfect bone’ fishes

2 Speciose : ~ 24,000 spp. 38 Orders; 426 Families 4 major subdivisions (Chapter 14; Helfman et al. 1997; p.222 and 223; Course Pack pp.21 & 23) Osteoglossomorpha Elopomorpha Clupeomorpha Euteleostei (D) Teleostei

3 Taxonomy –Class –DivisionTeleostei –SubdivisionEuteleostei –SuperorderElopomorpha –OrderAnguilliformes –FamilyAnguillidae –Genus –Species American eel

4 Speciose : ~ 24,000 spp. 38 Orders; 426 Families Success in part depends on 5 trends 1. Bone Reduction: - skull, tail, vertebrae, jaw, fin rays, scales 2. Changes in position and use of dorsal fin 3. Placement and function of paired fins Teleostei

5 4. Modifications to caudal fin and gas bladder 5.Jaw Modifications -expansion, protrusion, suction -musculature and dentition of pharyngeal jaws Teleostei

6 (SD) Osteoglossomorpha Osteoglossidae Bony tongues

16 92% of Families, 95% of species of Teleostei Many possess: adipose fin, breeding tubercles Many possess: adipose fin, breeding tubercles (SD) Euteleostei (SO) Ostariophysi 1.Weberian Ossicles: anterior vertebrae and ribs modified to connect gas bladder to inner ear 2.Schreckstoff: alarm substance and reaction the ‘true’ teleosts

17 Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae largest freshwater family; 2 nd largest of any family (SO) Ostariophysi minnows, carps
