New species of the genus Careproctus (Liparidae) from the Kara Sea with notes on spongiophilia, reproductive commensalism between fishes and sponges (Rossellidae).
The families Cyclopteridae and Liparidae have sometimes been combined into the family Cyclopteridae, but currently are thought to be sister groups and together represent one of the more basal clades of Cottoidei (Ueno 1970; Jackson 2004; Knudsen et al.
Recent phylogenetic studies of Liparidae (Knudsen et al.
The families Cottidae (possibly not monophyletic; Smith & Wheeler 2004), Cyclopteridae, Liparidae, Psychrolutidae and Agonidae (also possibly not monophyletic), among others, are included within the suborder Cottoidei.
We found fishes, particularly Atka Mackerel (Pleurogrammus monopterygius) and snailfishes (Liparidae) to be more important, and hermit crabs and Horsehair Crabs (Erimacrus isenbeckii) to be less important in the Aleutian Islands than in the eastern Bering Sea.
Abstract--Psednos rossi new species (Teleostei: Liparidae) is described from two specimens collected in the North Atlantic Ocean off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, at depths of 500-674 m.
