A. Hammer-head Shark (Sphyrna zygaena). = smooth hammerhead (Sphyrna zygaena)
The smooth hammerhead (Sphyrna zygaena) is a species of hammerhead shark, and part of the family Sphyrnidae. Sphyrna zygaena is named "smooth hammerhead" because of the distinctive shape of the head, which is flattened and laterally extended into a hammer shape (called the "cephalofoil"), without an indentation in the middle of the front margin (hence "smooth").
B. Tailed Sun-fish (Mola lanceolata). = sharptail mola (Masturus lanceolatus)
The sharptail mola (Masturus lanceolatus) is a species of mola found circumglobally in tropical and temperate waters. It is similar in appearance to the ocean sunfish (Mola mola), but can be distinguished by the projection on its clavus (pseudo-tail). Other common names include sharpfin sunfish, point-tailed sunfish, and trunkfish.
C. Halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus). = Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus)
The Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) is a flatfish of the family Pleuronectidae. Hippoglossus hippoglossus is among the largest teleost (bony) fish in the world.
D. Tope (Eugaleus galeus). = school shark (Galeorhinus galeus)
The school shark (Galeorhinus galeus) is a houndshark of the family Triakidae, and the only member of the genus Galeorhinus. Common names of Galeorhinus galeus also include tope shark, soupfin shark, and snapper shark. Galeorhinus galeus is found worldwide in temperate seas. |
