Family Nototheniidae - Cod icefishes
Order : Perciformes/Notothenioidei Nototheniidae
Class : Teleostei
No. in FishBase : Genera : 14 | Species : 56 Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes
Environment : Fresh : No | Brackish : No | Marine : Yes
Division : Marine
Aquarium : none
First Fossil Record :      
Remark : Chiefly marine; rare in brackish water. Distribution: high latitudes of Southern Hemisphere and coastal Antarctic. Body with scales. Mouth protrusible. A fold of gill membranes across the isthmus. Spinous dorsal fin present, with 3-11 spines (the second with 25-42 soft rays). One to three lateral lines. Vertebrae 45-59. Most species benthic, some pelagic and some cryopelagic. Absence of a swim bladder compensated for by lipids and low mineral content of bones, leading to near neutral buoyancy.
Etymology : Greek, nothos = false, falsely + Latin, taenia = stripe ( Ref. 45335).
Reproductive guild : mixed
Typical activity level : normal

Species/Synonymy list for the family Nototheniidae as currently in FishBase

Important recommendation:

The list below must not be used as an authority reference synonymy list like those found in scientific published revisions, which must be the source to be used and cited eventually when they exist.

Rather, it reflects the current content of FishBase, and the progress with respect to synchronization with the Catalog of Fishes. However, we think it can be useful for users to assess the quality of information in FishBase, to start new work on the family, or to cross-check with other lists.

But we appreciate to be cited in publications when this list has been of any working value. In particular, for published scientific, we suggest then to cite it in the Material and Method section as a useful tool to conduct the research, but again, not as a taxonomic or nomenclatural authority reference.

Unless it is explicitly precised, the list is not complete, please search all original names published for the family in the Catalog of Fishes (genera, species), including those with uncertain or unknown status, that are not included in FishBase when they are not attached to a valid species.

This list uses some data from Catalog of Fishes (not shown but used to sort names).

The list ordered as follows:
